Before you ride
Pier to island
Boat tickets are sold at the pier on the day. The crossing takes about 40 minutes by ferry and about 10 minutes by speedboat, and most boats land at Na Dan Pier. Koh Samet is a national park with its own entry fee. Boats and the park fee are not part of the taxi fare: Smile Taxi Service does not run boats.
