In the interest of the safety for our guests and staff, boat trips will not operate at night. The operating hours for our speedboat transfers are from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Due to these restrictions, our pick-ups by limousine and minibus from the Airport/Hotel operate between 6:00am and 4:00pm. Please note: if your flight arrival time is after 4:00pm, we suggest you book accommodation in Phuket or Krabi. We can pick you up directly from the hotel/resort you stayed the following day.
Weather also plays a large factor in the safety of the speedboat operation. The final decision to run the transfer is with our responsible captains in charge. It is rare that bad weather sets in for long periods of time. In the event that poor weather prevents the transfer to the resort, Paradise KohYao can arrange resort the following day.accommodation with hotels of similar standards in Phuket/Krabi.
*immigrations and baggage collection may take 1 hour at the international airports.
For those more adventurous and savvy travellers, local transport can be planned to travel to Paradise KohYao. Scheduled ferries run frequently from Phuket and Krabi to two terminals on Koh Yao Noi. From these terminals, a local “Tuk Tuk” (taxi) will be needed to reach Paradise KohYao in the north. Alternatively local longtail boats can be hired to transport you directly to the pier at the resort.
Local Tuk Tuks and longtail boats provide an interesting way to get around the island, Koh Yao Noi, and help support the local community but these local routes are not for everyone. Ferries can tend to get overcrowded and may not be up to some travelers expected comfort levels. The roads on Koh Yao Noi can vary from paved to unmaintained jungle trails.
