Ao Nang to Koh Lanta by Ao Nang Princess Ferry

It seems chaotic but works okay Get on early to get a good seat Look out for the flying fish and sea monsters

Good service - no complaints, the journey was smooth and everything pretty much self explanatory when boarding. Queued to get sticker for our ferry and then boarded .

This service is described as a stress free process to travel from AoNang to Koh Lanta. It started off with a pickup from our hotel to the pier. In theory this should have been super simple, 930am pick up for a 1030am ferry departure. Was told to message if the driver had not arrived by 930am. Guess what, no driver, messaged and told that the driver is probably another 20 minutes away because other passengers being picked up have been delayed. At no stage does it say this is a group transfer from your hotel to pier and I was pretty shocked considering how keen they were for me to message them if the driver was late that they hadn’t got in touch as soon as they knew there was a delay. If I’m honest, it felt like they didn’t care and that I shouldn’t be bothered that there was a delay! After the expected crazy of boarding the boat, the actual trip itself was very smooth, comfortable seats, decent air con and basic facilities. Of course it was crazy trying to leave the boat as you had to get your own luggage and it’s probably easy to imagine the lack of respect If you do decide to pre-book this ferry, my tips are: 1. Get your own transport to Nopparat Thara pier 2. Be aware there is a 10 THB entry fee per person to Koh Lanta, that’s ok, just have your money ready because when there are several hundred people trying to leave at once it’s a little manic. 3. Pre-book your transport to the hotel, there are as many taxi drivers trying to get a fare as there are passengers. We had pre-booked but it appeared to be a hectic experience to agree your transport I’d recommend the journey but would advise to get your own transport to the pier and buy your ferry ticket there.

Calm, unspectacular ride. Helpful staff when boarding and disembarking. Comfortable seats. Possibility to walk around. Much better and more interesting than with the speedboat connections.

Hot day.. Lots of people... Lots of luggage... But nice way overall to get to Koh Lanta... Staff seem to have it all organised

I liked the ferry ride to Lanta Island. There was VIP zone for a few money and it consisted drinks and snacks and sundeck. Our transfer was a little bit late, but Viator answered to my question very fast and didn't worry anymore. I recommend this tour.

Great service from start to finish. We were picked up from our villa no hassle and taken to the boat - when boarding the boat I would deffo recommend the 200 THB PP for the (VIP) which gives you ability to go upstairs which is abit less crowded and better seats for us it was 100% worth it. Overall no problems and would use again.

Shuttle was extremely late and when another driver showed up, he seemed very annoyed with us (likely because he was sent after we kept messaging customer service who was great and responsive).

Well it gets you from A to B, but the only seating was downstairs. No ventilation. Smelly. Dirty seats. Mouldy life jackets. Thank goodness I didn't need the toilet. Can't imagine what that would of been like.

The transfer was very handy and got us to the terminal with plenty of time, straight onto ferry. Ferry was on time. Plenty of room for luggage.
