Our Speed boats

If your arrival time in Phuket or Krabi does not permit you to get the final ferry boat to Phi Phi Island this means spending the night at a hotel on the mainland and catching the ferry the next morning. This confirms a loss of precious time and extra charges.

The private speedboat charter consents to you and your group to come and go at any time of the day. Pick up and drop off at your pleasure will be done by us with one of our twin engine 200 hp speedboats.

Our Minibus Service

In few cases after traveling up to 15 hours by plane the final thing you want is to negotiate around with a stranger and explain where you want to reach in a crowded airport terminal.

We provide door to door pick up service which is professional and it will save your time and energy and probably a few brain cells from imploding. Our minibuses are ideal for groups of 5 or more and take up to 10 persons with luggage.

Our Limousine Service

If you wish to leave the airport immediately without waiting and if your group is of 4 persons or less persons, we suggest our private limousine service.

Useful Tips

·         Check your time of onset and allow at least 1 hour getting from the airport to the pier.

·         You have to buy your ferry tickets beforehand; or else you will end up yourself paying double for them.

·         You may avoid storing valuables in bags under your seats while traveling by government bus from or to other major cities in Thailand even though the risk rate is very less.

·         You have to get for a tourist visa in advance from the Thai embassy in your country as this is easier to extend if you wish to stay longer.

·         Please be sure that you have at least one year left over for your passport expiration.

·         You can avoid sitting on the upper (exposed) deck of the ferry as it is frequent to undergo severe suntan, even on cloudy days.

·         Bus and boat timetables are generally perfect so picking up transfers from bus to boat is comparatively trouble-free.

·         Travel services such as boat, bus and plane are usually full during peak season or special holidays; so you may book in advance.

·         Book accommodation in advance of time or you may find yourself end up for a room at a large amount.
