Ferry or flight from Krabi to Koh Yao Noi?

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Krabi and lands you in Koh Yao Noi itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours can provide flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Koh Yao Noi to Krabi

The Koh Yao Noi to Krabi ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.

How much does the ferry from Krabi to Koh Yao Noi cost?

Ferry prices from Krabi to Koh Yao Noi move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it by WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is frequently the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Krabi to Koh Yao Noi: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Krabi to Koh Yao Noi is usually on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our staff applies:

• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators

When you fill in the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Krabi to Koh Yao Noi ferry first, then the alternatives.

Timetable and season of the Krabi to Koh Yao Noi ferry

Sailing times on the Krabi to Koh Yao Noi route depend on the operator and the month - as a rule 5-6 a day. Morning departures are typically the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Tha Len pier (Ao Thalane), 30 minutes from Ao Nang.

Departure: Tha Len pier (Ao Thalane), 30 minutes from Ao Nang

The ferry from Krabi to Koh Yao Noi leaves from Tha Len pier (Ao Thalane), 30 minutes from Ao Nang, in Krabi - Krabi is the limestone coast of the Andaman, with Railay beach, the Phi Phi islands and the four-island boat trips. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: Krabi has no rail or metro; airport buses, shared minivans and taxi counters serve Ao Nang and Krabi Town and suit one traveller with a light bag, but a private car is simpler for families, for Klong Muang and Tubkaek, for the piers, and for the long roads to Khao Sok, Khao Lak and Phuket.

• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Tha Len pier (Ao Thalane), 30 minutes from Ao Nang; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing

Arrival: Koh Yao Noi (Tha Khao pier)

Arrival is at Koh Yao Noi (Tha Khao pier). Koh Yao Noi is a quiet Muslim fishing island in Phang Nga Bay, between Phuket and Krabi.

If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Many travellers continue from Koh Yao Noi to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
