About Railay Eco Tour

To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Railay Eco Tour offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Railay Eco Tour?

The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.

Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel

Pros of Ferry Travel

  • To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
  • Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
  • Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
  • Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.

Cons of Ferry Travel

  • Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
  • Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

We went to Phi Phi islands by Rilay Eco Tour speed boat service, which left on time from the Ao Nam Mao pier and reached at Phi Phi around 45 mins. (very quick compared to Ferries and Long tail boats). Comfortable and safe ride. Unlike ferries or long tail boats; you wont feel any bumpy feeling on this. Ride back also the same.

Good speedboat, managed to book last minute in the app. Wasn't delayed much. However, a bit confusing in regards to check-in. Had to ask around, in the end it wasn't at the pier but in an office next to it.

The booking process was smooth. The ferry and all the staff were wonderful! Upon arrival to Aonang Ñam Pier, the shuttle service was excellent! Only suggestion is to provide a shaded tent where passengers can wait for boarding. Due to the intense sun. By the time you board you are very, dangerously overheated from the sun and dragging bags and waiting, that was my experience.

It absolutely saved our day (and trip to Koh Phi Phi island) that the operator waited for us because we were a few minutes late (due to our delayed flight). They were very kind at the phone and assured us not to worry and that we would still catch the boat. So thank you so much and would definitely recommend this company!

We should be there at 7:30 am but the check in office opened at 8:00 am. Chaos and our Order was not given to the Operator. But as usual in Thailand, it worked out in the end. The following transfer to Koh Phangan worked perfect.

The check in process was chaotic and we didn’t know where to wait or when to get ready for check in. According to the pdf we had to check in at the resort hotel near the pier but there was a pick up point, too so we had to ask multiple times to make sure we are at the correct spot. The pier was also not safe to walk with heavy luggages…

The actual booking, cost and trip across was easy and smooth. Finding the Railay Eco Tour meeting/check in spot was terrible as there were no instructions at all in the email PDF you get after booking tickets. The signage they have out is poor and was hidden by chairs and a garbage bin. They don’t have an actual stall, just a table that gets set up in an random spot for check in when the employee arrives. I walked right by the meeting spot 3 times because they were not there 30min early as it said to be. Checking in 30 min early is unnecessary as the boat arriving at Phi Phi doesn’t dock until around 11:40lbs the staff member did not arrive until then.

It was a bit difficult to find where to wait on Koh Phi Phi. Also the boat was super crowded, there were people who did not get seats. However the taxi to Ao Nang was better than in the description, they were mini busses actually with air conditioning.
