Krabi to Phi Phi Island Ferry, Speedboat, and Transfer Options

Krabi to Koh Phi Phi Ferry
Travelling from Krabi to Koh Phi Phi is one of the most popular ferry crossings in southern Thailand, linking the Krabi mainland with the limestone cliffs and beaches of the Phi Phi islands in the Andaman Sea. It is the standard way to reach Phi Phi, since the islands have no airport.
Departure Points and Piers
Ferries to Koh Phi Phi leave from two departure points in Krabi: Krabi Town pier (Klong Jilad) and Ao Nang, a short drive along the coast. Both serve this route, so travellers based in Ao Nang do not need to go into Krabi Town first. On arrival, boats dock at Tonsai Pier on Phi Phi Don, within walking distance of guesthouses, restaurants, and the main beaches.
Operator and Boat Type
This route is run by several operators, using ferry and speed boat for the crossing. Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, which makes the trip manageable for day-trippers and travellers with luggage alike.
Journey Duration and Schedule
The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, with 7 available during all year round. Exact departure times vary by operator and season, so check the timetable on this page before booking to make sure it fits your onward plans.
Ferry Prices
Fares start from ฿480 per person one way. The final price depends on the operator, the departure time, and how far ahead you book, so it is worth comparing the options listed above before confirming a ticket.
Booking Your Ferry
Book your Krabi to Koh Phi Phi ferry ticket in advance where possible, especially in high season, as seats fill up with both tourists and locals travelling between the mainland and the islands. Choose a departure time and operator above, then complete your booking online before you travel.

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.
