Phuket to Railay Beach Ferry: Seamless Island Escape

Picked up from hotel on time straight to port journey excellent. Booked via Viator who kept us informed by what’s app and email. Would defo book with them again

Everything was very smooth, no complaints. Pick up at hotel according to information the day before.

I had to get to Railay Beach from Phuket and there were limited options. We were picked up from our hotel very early by the tour company, taken to a ferry terminal, boarded a boat and 90mins later we were on Railay. The tour company handled all luggage movements for guests which was very helpful. The tour company provided a great service for reasonable price.

Ferry was easy and pleasant. Left on time and crew very good they very helpful and booking was easy .loved it

Ferry ride was mostly uneventful. We rode inside so did not see a lot on the way, but approach to Railay Beach was beautiful. Surprise at the end though as you need to transfer to a long boat for landing there. So wear pants and shoes you don’t mind getting wet as you’ll have to wade ashore in shallow water. They will keep your suitcases dry though.

Can arrived early so make sure you are ready on time. Pretty seamless experience. Van picked up, taken to pier, get on ferry, get to railway with no problems. Using the long tail boat from the ferry to the beach was an experience, but they helped me with my luggage which was greatly appreciated since I am six months pregnant.

The ferry got us to Railay Beach - Pick up at hotel was good. Processing onto the ferry at the pier was very slow - a lot of different type of trips and destinations all processing in the same place for the same boat. There were life jackets available but with luggage all over the place and stacked near exits - if something had gone wrong - not sure how things would have been. Diesel smell and people smoking out the back was smelly. Inside cabin was air conditioned. Best part was transferring to a long tail boat to get to shore. Disembarked from that into the water and waded to shore. Fun!

Seemless transfers from hotel to ferry at both ends of trip, great communication from company, ferry was on time and efficient

Quick & Easy check in and comfortable seats. We sat at the back and the exhaust was a bit strong as passengers opened the door often . Sit closer to the front if this smell bothers you. We just out a scarf to our face and we’re fine. I would use again. Easy switch to long boat for the shallow waters. Good experience.

It was an easy way to get from point A to point B. I was picked up in the hotel lobby and then the rest fell into place.
