Koh Tao and Koh Phi Phi are on opposite coasts of the Thai peninsula, so there is no direct sea route. These tickets combine a road transfer across the peninsula with a boat, usually via the Donsak or Surat Thani piers for the Gulf islands, and the times shown are for the whole trip door to door. Expect most of a day: the quickest listed takes 5h 45m, and the operator times the van to meet the ferry.

Good to know before you go

Leaving Koh Tao

Koh Tao is a small, rocky island known around the world as a place to learn to dive. All passenger ferries dock at Mae Haad, the village on the west coast, a short walk or taxi from Sairee Beach.

Koh Tao is the most exposed of the three islands. If the sea is rough, sit low and near the middle of the boat.

Arriving in Koh Phi Phi

Koh Phi Phi Don is the inhabited island, with Ton Sai village on a narrow strip between two bays; Maya Bay is on the uninhabited Phi Phi Leh nearby. There are no cars, so ferries arrive at Ton Sai and porters with trolleys meet the boats.

A small island fee (20 baht at the time of writing) is collected as you walk off Ton Sai Pier on arrival. Keep some cash handy.

Weather and season

Weather runs to a different clock from the Andaman: the Gulf is usually calmest from February to August. Expect rain and rougher crossings from October to December.
