Koh Tao itself is a small island best explored on foot or by rented scooter. If you are travelling from the mainland, fly into Ko Samui (USM) and rent a car there to reach the Lomprayah or Seatran ferry pier -- the crossing takes about 1.5 hours. On arrival, scooters and bicycles are available to hire in Mae Haad and Sairee Beach. A car rental at USM is also useful for exploring Ko Samui and Koh Phangan before or after your Koh Tao trip.
