We arrived more than 1h later than expected and it would have been even more if it wasn’t because I paid extra money for one of the journey to go with a private boat. A journey that by the way was not explained in the PDF’s itinerary that was previously sent to me. Other than that the trip went good. People very helpful and vehicles were clean and comfortable.

I planned this as a 1-day trip, but I was supposed to arrive at 10:45 in the morning, and we arrived to destination way past 13:00! Since the ship back was 15:15 I was left with little more than two hours. All hikes I had planned within Railay I had to cancel because not enough time. I barely had time to eat and have a swim, then just come back. It was very frustrating. More than two hours delay is a lot!

The ferry was very comfortable and the transfer included to long-tail boat to the pier was very good. Scheduled to leave at 8:30 left at 9 but not a problem for me since I am on vacation.
