About Urip Travel

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. Urip Travel offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Main Stations of Urip Travel?

Urip Travel ferries travel to a number of popular destinations. The list of the stations serviced by Urip Travel includes but is not limited to:

  • Ton Sai Pier Koh Phi Phi
  • Klong Jilad Pier Krabi
  • Krabi Town Transfer

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Urip Travel?

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.

The boat was easy to locate and not rocky at all, the Seats were not that fancy But that is what you get for this price.

Smaller, and I got a deep cut on my leg from a pipe under the chair. Otherwise a chill ferry ride, got there in good time and the views were beautiful. Very average ride and care.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews but I believe it’s important to let people know who might want to take this trip. The experience was like from a horror movie. No loo paper, no sink, people vomiting left right and centre. Sea water coming in the gaffa-taped windows, pushy taxi sales man and not enough leg room- I’m 5ft 3 and most people had to sit sideways because their legs wouldn’t fit. We left on time, which was great as I’ve been on another ferry that left about 45 minutes late. However, while on board, an operator from the company pretty pushy about trying to get people to book a taxi at about double the price of a grab to get to Ao nang. Then I went to use the toilet. I got there and there was no toilet paper left and no sink to wash your hands. There was a flushing loo (woo) but only a bin, sprayer, and big bucket of water with a scoop to flush with. So I went back upstairs and asked the lady behind the stall selling food if there was any more toilet paper. I got a very blunt reply saying ‘no’ and that it was finished. There was a pretty rude vibe. Thankfully I had wetwipes and tissues in my bag. Afterwards, I went to where my rucksack was being stored to put my tissues away. I briefly sat down on the bench to have a drink with no intention of staying there long. The taxi man sales man ordered me pretty aggressively to go back to my seat. He then told me that many people had died that day (felt like an exaggeration as no news heard about this/maybe a translation issue?). I told him I was just having a drink. He continued telling me off. I went downstairs and found a seat. The sea was really rocky (no fault of the boat operators) but really concerningly many windows were leaking so when we rolled about, sea water was splashing on people’s heads. This kind of felt like part and parcel of the trip so not a major moan but it did add to the overall feeling of not being safe. Then, it got extremely rocky. I took two travel sickness pills yet had to go out of the main seating area and sit on luggage because I felt so ill. When I got there it appeared I’d reached the sick bay. There was sick on a nearby seat. A lady was huddled in the fetal position while another lady splashed water on her face. A man threw up above us into a bag on the stairs. People had put on lifejackets. People were clinging to railings and looking very scared. Thanks to the kindness of strangers, when I was sick I had a plastic bag and some wet wipes. But the tour operators were no where to be seen. We were basically left to deal with it ourselves. I wish that they had at least come downstairs to hand out bags or see if people needed water. I would have paid for the water and bag if needs be. I’m so grateful to the kind ladies who nursed me and one another. And the other strangers who looked out for me. I totally get that sea sickness or rocky seas aren’t anyone’s fault but I really wish there had been more compassion. I was on the boat with a lot of really young backpackers. Some looked very scared. And, the ferry arrived 45 minutes after scheduled so my grab driver had to wait a long time. Please, tour guide if you are reading this, do better.

The boat is good for Krabi airport and town but is old, slow and very hot. Be aware of the taxi transfer scam that they're pushing when you're on the boat. It's easy to get a grab from the port

We booked a speedboat but it was an old boat, which was dirty, and the space of the seats was much to small and uncomfortable. They say it takes you 1,5 hour with the speedboat, but with this boat it took us 2 hours. Mind your booking with this company!

It was a pleasant trip. The ferry had a open space on the top with stunning views and unfortunate moments. Crossing such short distance by speed boat and missing those pictured panorama around is not worthy.

The reservation site stated that the departure time was 10:30 and the arrival time was 12:00, but the actual arrival was at 12:45. The departure was not delayed, and the weather was fine. The ferry ride was smooth and comfortable. If the correct time is not listed, there’s a risk of missing a flight.

Scheduled were 1.5 hours. But it took 2 hours like all the other ferries. Need to adjust the timing and lower the price to have the same price as the other ferries.

Picked us up at our hotel on Ao Nang beach and drove us to the ferry for. The ride from Klong Jilad to PhiPhi was smooth, easy and beautiful. No complaints for this being the single best deal available for transfer and ferry, you will not find better.
