How to get from Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao
Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao Ferry
Traveling from Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao takes you between two of the most striking islands in Satun province, at the southern tip of the Andaman Sea. Koh Lipe, known for its powder-white beaches and lively pier-side town, sits just a short hop from Koh Tarutao, the largest and most rugged island in the Tarutao National Marine Park. Most travelers board a speedboat directly from Koh Lipe's Pattaya Beach pier, arriving at Ao Pante Malacca, the park headquarters pier on Koh Tarutao where rangers check permits and visitors register before heading inland.
When the route operates
This is a seasonal route: boats run only during selected months of the year, in line with Tarutao National Park's own opening dates. Outside this window, Koh Tarutao is closed to visitors and no scheduled ferries operate, since the park limits access during the monsoon months to protect its beaches and reefs. If you are searching outside selected months of the year, plan your Koh Lipe stay around a different island hop instead: connections from Koh Lipe to Koh Adang or to the mainland pier at Pak Bara run for more of the year, or check back closer to the reopening date before booking.
Transport, operators and journey time
speed boat services cover this crossing, operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat, with 1 during the open season. The crossing itself is short, typically around about 1 minutes, though actual timing depends on sea conditions and the exact pier your boat calls at on Koh Lipe. Onboard facilities vary by boat but commonly include onboard facilities. Koh Tarutao has no ATMs, shops or moorings for onward transfers, so most visitors treat this as a day trip or a short camping stop on the island rather than a base for a longer stay.
Prices and booking
Fares for this route start from ฿700 per person, plus the separate national park entrance fee collected on arrival at Ao Pante Malacca. Seats are limited during the short operating season, especially around Thai public holidays, so booking ahead is worth doing as soon as the schedule opens. Planning the return leg too? Book the Bundhaya Speed Boat service back from Koh Tarutao, or check our Koh Tarutao to Koh Lipe ferry page for the reverse timetable and pier details before you travel.
Note that Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao is a different route from Koh Lipe to Koh Tao. The latter is a separate, much longer connection toward Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand, not this short Andaman Sea crossing. If that is the journey you meant to search for, use our dedicated Koh Lipe to Koh Tao route page for accurate operators and timings rather than this page's schedule.
Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
