How it works

Getting to Koh Lanta without the three-vehicle shuffle

The island is reached by road and then a car ferry, which is the part that catches people out. Here is what actually happens.

  1. 01

    Send us the details

    Where from, where to, the date, how many people and bags, and your flight number if an airport is involved. WhatsApp is far quicker than email for this.

  2. 02

    We quote a fixed price

    For the whole vehicle, with the ferry crossing included, before you commit. No card details taken to hold it.

  3. 03

    Driver details the day before

    Name, vehicle and registration sent to you on WhatsApp, so you are not scanning a car park for an unnamed car.

  4. 04

    Door to door

    We track the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one, and we wait if the flight is late. Luggage goes in once and comes out at your hotel.

The ferry

Why nobody can promise you an exact arrival time

Koh Lanta Yai is reached by crossing to Koh Lanta Noi and then across again. The Hua Hin car ferry runs continuously rather than to a timetable you can book, so the wait depends entirely on the queue — and in high season that queue is unpredictable.

Anyone quoting you a precise door-to-door figure for this journey is guessing. We would rather give you an honest range for the day you are actually travelling, and build in proper slack on the way back when you have a flight to catch.

Ask about your date

Worth knowing

  • The ferry crossing is inside the price we quote, not collected at the pier
  • Give us your flight number so pickup follows the real landing time
  • Name your hotel, not just the beach — the island is thirty kilometres long
  • Tell us about child seats, oversized luggage or an extra stop when you ask
  • Leaving the island, allow materially more time than you think you need
Questions

Before you book a car

If yours is not here, message us. We are reachable around the clock and we run late arrivals regularly.

How much does a transfer cost?

We quote a fixed price for the whole vehicle rather than publishing a fare, because the right number depends on the route, which vehicle suits your luggage, and the time of day. Send us the pickup point, the destination and your date on WhatsApp and we will come back with the total in writing before you commit to anything. The ferry crossing is inside that number rather than an extra collected at the pier, and the price is per vehicle rather than per person, so it does not change with how many seats you use.

Are there taxis on Koh Lanta?

Not in the metered-rank sense, and ride-hailing apps do not work reliably here. Cars are arranged in advance — usually a message the day before, or the same morning for a short hop on the island.

How long does it take from Krabi Airport to Koh Lanta?

It depends on the Hua Hin car ferry queue, which runs continuously rather than to a bookable timetable and is unpredictable in high season. We would rather give you an honest range for the day you are actually travelling than publish a fixed figure — message us with your date.

Is the ferry crossing included in the price?

Yes. The crossing is part of the price we quote, not an extra collected at the pier.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Give us your flight number when you book. We set the pickup from the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one, and we wait if it lands late.

Which vehicle should I choose?

Both seat up to four people, so it is a question of space rather than headcount. The private car is the usual choice and takes two large cases. The luxury van is air-conditioned with a high roof and room for four large cases — worth it for serious luggage, or for a long run like Phuket.

Do you run to Phuket and Ao Nang?

Yes, along with Krabi Airport, Krabi Town and Saladan pier. Message us with your pickup point and date and we will quote a fixed price for the whole vehicle.

Can you collect us from Saladan pier?

Yes, and it is one of the most common runs we do. Arrange it before you arrive rather than after you step off the boat, particularly in high season when several ferries land close together.

Will I know who is picking me up?

Yes. Driver name, vehicle and registration are sent to you on WhatsApp the day before, so you are not scanning a car park for an unnamed car.

Can you fit a child seat?

Tell us when you book how many children you have and roughly what age, and we will tell you what we can arrange for that vehicle.

How far ahead should I book a transfer?

For an airport run, as soon as you have your flight — particularly between November and April when the island is at its busiest. For a short hop on Lanta, the day before is usually fine.

How do I pay, and do you need my card details?

We quote a fixed price for the whole vehicle before you commit, and we do not take card details to hold a booking. Message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm the arrangement in writing.
