About Tigerline Travel

Company Information

Tigerline Travel runs high speed ferries to all the Thai islands in the Adaman Sea including Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Koh Ngai, Mook, Koh Libong, Ko Muk, Koh Lipe, Lipeh, Koh Kradan, and Langkawi in Malaysia. All ferries are high-speed ferries that are steel reinforced and have between 134 and 180 seats. They have air-conditioned cabins on the first floor and open-air cabins on the second floor.

Some routes also include combo tickets which have pick up bus and ferry travel from airports and hotels.

Routes served by Tigerline Travel Ferry Service

Tigerline Travel has a huge number of routes to the Thai islands in the Andaman Sea as well as to Langkawi in Malaysia.

Some of the most popular routes are as follows:

Koh Lipe–Langkawi

The journey from Koh Lipe to Langkawi takes between 2 and 3 hours. Tickets for this route are THB480 or USD14. Boats depart twice daily at 11 am and 4 pm.

Phuket–Koh Phi Phi

The perennial favourite, Phuket–Ko Phi Phi tickets cost THB480 or USD14 and boats leave at 6 am, 8 am, and 1.30 pm. The journey takes between 2 and 3 hours depending on the pier your depart and arrive.

Krabi–Koh Phi Phi

Similarly to Phuket–Koh Phi Phi route, Krabi to Koh Phi Phi enjoy great popularity. It takes even less to reach Koh Phi Phi from Krabi, so if you are not very fond of sea journeys, consider this opportunity. Tickets for this service also cost THB480 or USD14 and boats depart at 8.15 am, 10 am, and 12 pm. The journey should take around 2 hours depending on the route.

Pros

Tigerline Travel sails to all islands in the Andaman Sea, even some of the smaller ones that are difficult to travel to independently.

All boats have air-conditioning if you select the first floor cabins.

You can select other add-ons with this service including taxi pick up at your hotel or the airport which is helpful if you are newly arrived in Thailand.

Bookings can be made online.

Cons

Boats do not run all year round and are seasonal and schedules are subject to change. At times boats only run in the busier months such as August.

The Tigerline Travel website is basic and it can be difficult to book tickets directly through the site.

Boats do not run if the weather is stormy.

You may find that boats are subject to delays particularly if there are a high volume of passengers.

Keep in mind

Some of the smaller islands like Koh Ngai, Koh Kradan, Koh Mook, and Koh Lipe do not have a pier and so you will need to get a long tail taxi boat from the ferry arrival point to the island. These boats belong to local fishermen and are not included in the ticket price. You will need to pay the driver of the boat THB50 or USD1.50.

Travellers reviews

Though in general people are quite satisfied with the service, when booking pick up combos delays are common and you can be put on the next boat. This is Thailand! Be patient or buy ferry-only tickets to avoid confusion. Note that even in this case you can still arrive later than expected due to the tides.

There have been some reports of overcrowding of the boats with not enough seats and life jackets for everyone aboard. In fact, we were very surprised to hear that as during the last couple of years the regulations on sea transportation became much stricter than before and are widely enforced. So hopefully you won’t face this issue during your journey.

Tigerline Travel Company Reviews

The overall capacity is exceeded as I have to share the chair with four people instead of the intended three. Due to high waves on that day, there's a risk of accidents, and also, the departure is delayed by one hour.

All good otherwise, but Tigerline seems to always be late at least an hour, often more, without informing customers in any way. So, expect some waiting time in the pier and don't book further transport without plenty of time to spare in between.

From koh jum without queuing and crowds almost on time and quickly to koh Phi phi. Small speadboat crossing went smoothly. By the way, the entrance was not on the water but on the pier. Anytime again!

When we buy a ticket from Lipe to Phi Phi it is not written that we gonna stop in every island in the way. Boat A: Lipe - Kadran Boat A: Kadran - Hat Yao Pier Boat A: Hat Yao Pier - Muk Boat A: Muk - Ngai Boat A: Ngai - Lanta Car: Changing Pier in Lanta Boat B: Lanta - Phi Phi It took 1 hour more, we arrived 14h in PhiPhi. The Boat from Lipe was not big, so we feel all the waves in our backs. There was a baby in the boat and we are afraid for him because of the impact of the waves (if it was a bigger boat the impact would be smoother).

The boatride in itself was fine, unfortunately the boat arrived one hour late, the only person that seemed concerned was the person on duty in had yai. The boat staff did not apologise but this is because they only spoke very little English.

They took more passengers than chairs and life vests available on board. A very risky situation, in case something happens. And the sea is always unpredictable...

We hired a boat from Ao Nang to Ko Lipe, duration 4 hours. However, it took 6h 45. Van: Ao Nang - Klong Jirad Pier Boat A: Klong Jirad Pier - Ko Jum Boat A: Ko Jum - Ko Lanta Boat B: Ko Lanta - Ko Ngai Boat B: Ko Ngai - Ko Kradan Boat B: Ko Kradan - Ko Muk Boat B: Ko Muk - Hat Yap Pier Boat B: Hat Yao Pier - Ko Lipe What do you think? Is there any chance that someone could pay for this kind of service if the person knows the itinerary?

We were charged THB100 for the longtail boat trip for no reason. What a cheek! However, we were picked up directly at the pier by the speedboat and there was never a ride on a longtail boat. I want my money back for that!

The trip was much longer then expected, as it was on the trip to go to Koh Lipe. The Crüe don't call the name of the names of the islands, some people missed the stops and we had to come back, loosing 40 more minutes

The boat was bigger than the one i tooked on the way in. The only problem was the many stops that we have. About in 4 different islands to pick and deliver passengers and one island to change the boat. Everything was on time, but it was very tiring.

The speedboat did not go directly to Koh Jum as indicated, but first went to Koh Lanta, were we had to change boats. Because of this, the trip took double the promised time.

We left about and hour after the scheduled departure time. Luckily I had read previous reviews and prepared for this. They really know how to cram a lot of people onto one pier and into one boat. There was so many people on the pier at one time that the middle of the pier fell in. It should probably be a little more stable. A bit dangerous, but was also kinda humorous! The staff was friendly and got us where we needed to be.

Trip to Koh Lip I would say it was a perfect transfer! We did it with my wife and 9 month old baby. We had 1pcs luggage around 15kg, 2 back packs, a plastic bag with our winter clothes from Europe and a baby stroller. We can have all in our hands when moving with baby. Yes the driver was not fluent in English. But what you could expect for paying minimum for a trip? If you would bought this transfer with a privat driver at the hotel for 2500 baths then you could expect small things perfect. In general. We paid 950 from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe. We wanted later pickup not at 6 in the morning. So we had at 11. If it is ok for you to have 6a.m. pick up, I would recommend to by a transfer at any tourist trips selling office in Ao Nang, because you could bargain and get a transfer for 850 instead of 950. For later pickup at the street the cheapest price what you could get is 1150. Standard I think 1250 Baths. Now about the trip itself. Why I gave 4 stars review not 5. As I told it was almost perfect. Almost perfect because after we left Ao Nang, and passed already over Krabi, the driver got a call that he didn’t picked up two people in Ao Nang. So we got back and spend for that extra 50min. Otherwise we would spend that extra 50min at a pier. Because tour companies have around 2hours reserve and it is normal. People what we forgot bought a tour a day before (as we did it too). So it was a communication mistake in between different companies. All was perfect. Buy a trip online with assurance that all will be as perfect as possible. And if you are ok for 6a.m. pick up at the hotel buy it on the street and save 100 baths. Hmm and what concerns travel with an 9 month baby. We recommend to keep it not in hands but in a baby carrier. Our little daughter Liepa slept almost all the time. A speed boat trip what we were a little bit afraid at the beginning was completely normal. Baby slept all the time and it was really easy travel. Yes of course it was super load, bumpy and smell gasoline! But guys it is completely normal it should be like that when you take such kind of boat for such price! And one small thing what I almost forgot. When you arrive to Koh Lipe you will be board on a floating pier around 50meters away from the shore. You will pay 50baths per person for a long tail bought transfer as well as 200 national park entrance fee. As a sea was not very calm it was a little bit challenging to enter the long tail boat from a floating pier with a baby in a baby carriage. So enjoy! And don’t afraid! :)

Minivan or on time at the station, but a lot of time lost at the airport. Speedboat departure more than 1/2 hour late. Many passengers, too crowded. 2 unnecessary stops along the way, really too long.

We were pretty shaken up during the 1st part of the trip to Koh PhiPhi, perhaps due to the sea or the fact that there weren't many of us, so the boat was lighter and lifted more easily.

Van to pick us up was late by 30 mins. Dialed 12go customer service hotline for assistance and lady said she will call me back to update me on van's status (we were pretty worried by then) -- she never called me back. Thankfully, van showed up awhile later but she still did not call back to confirm that we were on the van.

The route from Phuket to Ko Lanta was extremely bumpy. People with back problems should avoid the trip! In Ko Lanta we were transferred to a larger speedboat. There were so many people boarding that the boat was totally overcrowded. No matter if the people were fat or thin, they had to sit four or even five on the narrow bench. The trip was supposed to last 4 hrs, we needed 5 1/4 hrs. The price-performance ratio is way too expensive. And for this long ride, passengers could at least be offered water and a snack, which should be given out before the ride and included in the price.
