Timetable and season of the Krabi to Phi Phi ferry

The Krabi to Phi Phi ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. Let us know the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Klong Jilad pier, Krabi Town, or Ao Nang (Nopparat Thara pier)

Your crossing starts at Klong Jilad pier, Krabi Town, or Ao Nang (Nopparat Thara pier). Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. 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 e-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 Klong Jilad pier, Krabi Town, or Ao Nang (Nopparat Thara pier); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing

Arrival: Tonsai pier, Koh Phi Phi Don

You step off at Tonsai pier, Koh Phi Phi Don. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

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

On board the Krabi to Phi Phi ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

• Children's fares by age; infants generally free

Things to do in Phi Phi after the ferry

Koh Phi Phi is the island of Maya Bay and the limestone cliffs, between Phuket and Krabi. Start with the viewpoint, a longtail boat around Phi Phi Leh and Long Beach, then Maya Bay.

We offer tours and transfers in Phi Phi as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the ferry from Krabi to Phi Phi

For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we verify before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Krabi to Phi Phi?

For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Krabi and lands you in Phi Phi 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 Phi Phi to Krabi

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return ferry ticket from Phi Phi to Krabi booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the whole trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much does the ferry from Krabi to Phi Phi cost?

The cost of the ferry from Krabi to Phi Phi depends on the operator, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we check the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.

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 often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Krabi to Phi Phi: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the ferry from Krabi to Phi Phi is a matter of vessel, timing and flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds you a cheap ferry ticket:

• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
• 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

We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Krabi to Phi Phi by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
