Koh Jum Island is becoming popular, getting there is as easy as taking a Speedboat & Ferry boat from Lanta or Krabi Town. Once you come close to the jetty, a long tail boat transfer will take you straight to the shore, simple and fun. Speedboat & Ferry boats are super safe and mostly new, they count with all the safety equipment for all passengers. Be sure to print your E-Ticket and show it to the pier staff, they will gently guide you to your ferry to let the adventure begin!
The transfer process from the speedboat & ferry to a Thai longtail boat is very common, everyone is used to it so there is no need to get confused, keep your belongings with you and get ready to get your ankles wet when arriving at the shore. If you’re staying at a resort, they may arrange their very own long tail to pick you up. Don't forget to visit our speedboat & ferry Travel Tips page for some useful advice. Have a great time!
