Fun adventure, great experience - Can arrived early so make sure you are ready on time. Pretty seamless experience. Van picked up, taken to pier, get on ferry, get to railway with no problems. Using the long tail boat from the ferry to the beach was an experience, but they helped me with my luggage which was greatly appreciated since I am six months pregnant.

Easy, comfortable, quick - Quick & Easy check in and comfortable seats. We sat at the back and the exhaust was a bit strong as passengers opened the door often . Sit closer to the front if this smell bothers you. We just out a scarf to our face and we’re fine. I would use again. Easy switch to long boat for the shallow waters. Good experience.

Transfer to Long Boat for landing at Railay. - Ferry ride was mostly uneventful. We rode inside so did not see a lot on the way, but approach to Railay Beach was beautiful. Surprise at the end though as you need to transfer to a long boat for landing there. So wear pants and shoes you don’t mind getting wet as you’ll have to wade ashore in shallow water. They will keep your suitcases dry though.

Easy transport - It was an easy way to get from point A to point B. I was picked up in the hotel lobby and then the rest fell into place.

OK but slightly questionable ferry ride - The ferry got us to Railay Beach - Pick up at hotel was good. Processing onto the ferry at the pier was very slow - a lot of different type of trips and destinations all processing in the same place for the same boat. There were life jackets available but with luggage all over the place and stacked near exits - if something had gone wrong - not sure how things would have been. Diesel smell and people smoking out the back was smelly. Inside cabin was air conditioned. Best part was transferring to a long tail boat to get to shore. Disembarked from that into the water and waded to shore. Fun!

Did the job but better options - Thought we'd be going on a ferry, but instead we got put on a speedboat. It was fine, did the job. Would recommend taking the ferry to Ao Nang and then longtail boat from there to Railay if you want to make the most of the views.

Given wrong time - Told numerous times to be outside out hotel at 8 am. Would appear they turned up at 7 so had gone when we got out there at 0735 after a phone call. Had to pay extra for a taxi and rush to the boat. I have emailed asking for a refund as we’d also paid extra for pick up from out of town but no response or apology
