The Phi Phi Islands lie around 45 kilometers from the mainland coast of Krabi and 48 kilometers from the island of Phuket. They are accessible by boat and there are daily passenger ferries from both Krabi, Ao Nang and Railay piers on the mainland; Saladan pier in Koh Lanta; and Rassada Pier in Phuket.
There are no roads on Koh Phi Phi and the only vehicles are bicycles and the occasional motorbike with sidecar, used to transport goods. You therefore cannot bring your car or motorbike to the island; and the ferries are for foot passengers only.
For the current timetables and schedules for the boats, please see below.
You can also fly to Phi Phi from Phuket, with the Blue Water Air seaplane. Scheduled flights leave twice daily.
All prices listed below are for one-way tickets. You will arrive at the main pier on Ton Sai beach. From here, you can walk to your hotel, or take a long-tail boat to any of the other beaches on the island of Phi Phi Don.
