What to expect
After booking you receive your e-ticket voucher. Show it on your phone or as a printout at the pier. The van takes you to Rassada Pier, where you check in and board. The ferry is big and stable, so it is a good choice for families, people with luggage and anyone who prefers a gentler ride than a speedboat. You arrive at Tonsai Pier in the heart of Tonsai village.
For the return, be at Tonsai Pier at least 30 minutes before departure. If you booked a hotel transfer, the van meets you at Rassada Pier.
Pickup and booking times
If you want a land transfer from your Phuket hotel, please book at least 48 hours before departure so we can arrange it. Pickup is free from Area 1, charged per person from Area 2, and a private van is available from Area 3 (see the transfer table).
What to bring
- Your e-ticket and passport
- Some cash in Thai baht: a small landing fee is usually collected at Tonsai Pier
- Sunscreen and a hat for the outside deck
- A light layer for the air-conditioned cabin
- Seasickness tablets if you are sensitive
Tips from our team
- Sit on the upper deck for the best views as you approach Phi Phi’s limestone cliffs.
- From May to October seas are rougher and sailings can change; keep your plans flexible.
- Phi Phi has no roads for cars. If your hotel is outside Tonsai, ask it about longtail or porter pickup.
