good ferry

Philip_J, May 2024

Ferry ride from Phuket to Ao Nang (mainland), was not expecting much but quite scenic as you pass other (Phi Phi) islands. Option of watching from upper deck or relaxing in AC lower deck. Comfortable journey for trip that is approx. 1 hour.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Philip_J Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the scenic ferry ride from Phuket to Ao Nang. Relaxing on the lower deck or taking in the views from the upper deck - sounds like a perfect way to spend an hour!

Phuket to Ao Nang

Being on the top deck and the VIP section, you get snacks and drinks. Really smooth ride and everything went to time

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Stewart_P So glad you enjoyed the smooth ride and the tasty treats on board! Thanks for choosing us and sharing your experience with others.

Chaos loading and unloading the ferry.

Bill_C, Feb 2024

Pier in Phuket was confusing and was directed to wrong check in booth where fight almost broke out when people barged into long lines. Baggage was stored in large piles onboard vessel which left 30 min late as was waiting to fill right up. Utter chaos when it came to finding our two bags and to exit the ship. We had booked transport from ferry to our hotel in Ao Nang but no one was waiting for us so boarded a “free” ride in back of truck. Cut my leg trying to get in the 2 1/2 ft step up. Promises from Viator unfulfilled.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Bill_C Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the confusion at the pier and the delay with the baggage. We'll be sure to address these concerns with our partners in Phuket. We understand your frustration with disembarking and the transport issue. We're investigating the missed connection for your pre-booked transfer.

Good experience

Bastien_P, Nov 2023

It was simple. The boat was on time and the ferry ride provided a great view in bonus. A great way to move from Phuket to Ao Nang beach.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Dear Bastien_P Thank you for your kind review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your ferry ride from Phuket to Ao Nang beach. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive to provide our guests with a memorable experience.

Nice trip

Gunnar_F, Feb 2023

Nice trip. The bus was not on time in the morning. 30 min too late, but it was not a problem with the boat. The boat was okay.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Gunnar_F Thanks for the review, and on this day there were many other guests from different hotels that why the pickup was running late.

Gets the job done

Sean_G, Apr 2022

Boat left 45 minutes late, no reason given. And it looks nothing at all like the boat in the photo it’s a crap shoot what boat they assign.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear Sean Thanks for the review. The departure has been delayed due to other passengers who were late. We have several different boats which are used depending on the amount of guests.

Amazing

Damini_G, Apr 2022

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Dear Damini We are more than happy that you enjoyed the trip with us. See you soon and please recommend our service. Have a nice stay.

Not a 2 hour tour

Virginia_W, Jan 2020

We were picked up at 6:55 am. The ferry (supposed to depart at 8:30 am) left around 9:15 with no indication of legitimate reason for delay. We got to ao nang around 12 because the ferry moved so slowly and stops in railey and when we finally arrived we had to get a taxi rather than wait around and use the booking since the wait was so long and we had an afternoon tour booked.
