Good to Know Before You Book

  • Speedboat vs Ferry Travel Time: Direct speedboats reach Koh Phi Phi in approximately 35 to 50 minutes. Large passenger ferries take approximately 1.5 to 1 hour 45 minutes, providing air-conditioned cabins, sundeck views, and smooth sailing.
  • Seasonal Operations: Daily speedboats and ferries operate year-round, while certain departures are designated as High Season Only. During the monsoon/low season, schedules may be reduced or rescheduled depending on operator discretion and sea conditions. Real-time availability is always updated on our booking timetable.
  • Seating Policy: Standard open seating operates on a first-come, first-served basis. On speedboats, boat crew will arrange seating positions according to passenger load and water balance for safety and comfort.
