Railay to Koh Phi Phi Destination Reviews

Boat left well before scheduled time. No help from Tiger Travel who was the operator. Ended up being put on a boat that took nearly two hours to arrive at Phi Phi leaving us little time before we had to return to catch boat back. Basically a waste of money as we were unable to do what we had planned on Phi Phi

Locals and staff were very helpful. Queuing system is a little chaotic but that’s what it is like in the whole of Thailand. Worth the peace of mind to pre-book. Probably only need to get there 15mins

It’s a lie about the time taking 30 minutes, took like 50 min and whether was good, plus the boat was 30 minutes late so a trip that was advertised as 30 min took me almost 1,5 hours

Not a bad trip, but the boat broke down on the way and they had to fix it so journey took a little longer than it should have done!

Great ferry, checking in an hour before departure is not a good idea, you stand in the hot sun at the pier. But the crossing itself was really nice. Spring for VIP area, it’s worth it.

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.
