Traveler reviews
Comfortable ferry easy...
Comfortable ferry easy crossing. Had to get on longtail boat to get on the ferry. Loads of help with suitcases etc.
Organised and safe
Took this ferry and due to tide being out you need to get on a longtail boat and then climb aboard the ferry in deeper water. All done easily and safely. Comfortable journey in air conditioning with clean toilets.
went smoothly
We booked the ferry online through the Aonang travel website. I received the email confirmation a few hours after. It is probably not necessary to book online but I liked the idea of getting things booked and paid for while at home. We met a the Railay beach meeting spot and where checked in by the Aonang staff with no problems. From there we were shuttled out to the ferry by longtail boats, then the two hour ride to Lanta. Sitting outside in the breeze seemed to be more comfortable than the "air conditioned" inside seating. There were a fair amount of people on the boat, but I couldn't really comment on overcrowding. Overall a fairly smooth process that went as expected.
Seemed like a scam
We waited for an hour in the designated location. We eventually walked up the beach and started asking around and were told that we were supposed to meet somewhere else and the ferry had left without us. Coincidentally there was someone there offering to take us by boat and taxi for over twice as much as we paid for this ferry. Seemed like it was all set up. Then viator refused to give me a refund for a trip I never took.
Better than it looks
Was a fast simple service. We were a bit worried about transferring onto the ferry from a long tail boat with our bags and two young children but it was quick and easy with staff to help. Inside was air-conditioned.
