It was good for the price
This was an okay experience for us. There was AC, water for everyone and the ride was overall smooth, but it was quite dirty. The seats inside look like really old airplane seats with stains and rips in them. One thing we weren't aware of was that we would have to switch ferries at the end of the trip to get to the main dock. We also had to wait a while for the second boat to pick us up. From start to finish it took us 3 and a half hours. If you want to avoid boat hopping just take a speed boat.

Excellent way to travel
The Aonang princess ferry is a great way to get from Phi Phi Don to Aonang. Lots of seats in the lower decks under cover or you can sunbathe on the top deck if you wish.

Average, at best, for a lower cost ferry.
The Princess Ferry - Koh Phi Phi Don to Ao Nang: Not all of the information I would usually consider was offered in the description of this trip when I booked it. The ticket is only good for entry into the main and below deck passenger areas. You can smoke by the restrooms on the back of the main deck but all outdoor walkways and open air spaces above the entry deck are off limits with the ticket purchased through TripAdvisor/Viator. If you want access to any outside areas above the entry deck you must pay an additional 200 baht in cash directly to the boat operators for “VIP Access”. I would have preferred to know about this restriction of outdoor areas before I chose this carrier. I don’t smoke but always choose to be outside where possible (and weather permitting) when I’m on a ferry transport so this was a bit of a let-down for me.
Response from the operator: Dear 302darleneh Thank you for your feedback on your recent trip with The Princess Ferry. We apologize that the full details regarding access to outdoor areas were not included in the initial description. We understand your disappointment about limited access to the upper decks. We're working on improving our information to clearly state the difference between ticket options. In the future, you may consider ferries offering "open deck" access if enjoying the outdoors is a priority. We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you on board again soon.

Nice
Well organised, clean boat, on time, we had a very nicely trip. Would recommend comparing to other ferry we used.

Disorganised
Seeing the different islands from the ferry, choas as we got nearer to Ao nang, transferred to long tail boats, not enough boats arriving to ferry all the passengers, lots of people waiting including children, & it was becoming dark. On transferring from the long tail boat, we had to climb from the boat to another boat to another boat to eventually get to land, some staff not that friendly
Response from the operator: Dear Margaret_A Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on our tour. We're truly sorry to hear about the challenging aspects of your journey, particularly the overcrowding and confusion during transfers. We understand how frustrating and concerning that must have been, especially with children involved. We're constantly working to improve our tours and operations, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us achieve that. We're already looking into ways to streamline our transfer process, including increasing the number of boats available at peak times and reassessing passenger flow. We're also taking your feedback about staff friendliness seriously and offering additional training to ensure all our team members provide a warm and welcoming experience. We hope you had a more positive experience once you reached land and enjoyed the rest of your tour. We value your feedback and appreciate your understanding as we strive to improve.

Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ko Phi Phi Don.
How much does Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry cost?
+
Prices start at $21 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ko Phi Phi Don usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ko Phi Phi Don is not rushed.
Is Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ko Phi Phi Don, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ko Phi Phi Don can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ko Phi Phi Don and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ko Phi Phi Don within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ko Phi Phi Don?
+
On Outty we rank every Ko Phi Phi Don experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Trip to James Bond (Canoeing & Kayaking Islands & Lunch), From Phi Phi: Sunrise & Beat The Crowds to Maya Bay by Speedboat, Highlights of Phi Phi Islands. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ko Phi Phi Don?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ko Phi Phi Don?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry?
+
Included: 1-way transfer by Ao Nang Princess ferry; Hotel drop-off; and Basic travel insurance. Not included: Hotel pickup. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Koh Phi Phi to Ao Nang by Ao Nang Princess Ferry?
+
