About the Green Planet Longtail Boat


The Green Planet longtail boat is a traditional wooden boat service used for short, scenic transfers along the coast and out to nearby islands. Longtail boats are a classic and practical way to reach spots that larger ferries can't always access, and they're a popular choice for travelers who want a more local, flexible way to get around.



Why Choose the Green Planet Longtail Boat


Longtail boats like Green Planet are known for their open-air design, shallow draft, and ability to reach smaller piers, beaches, and coves directly. This makes them a good option for shorter hops between islands or from the mainland to nearby destinations, especially when you want a quicker, more direct route than a larger vessel can offer.



What to Expect on Board


Longtail boats are typically open-sided with bench seating and are piloted by a local boatman. Journeys are generally short and weather-dependent, so it's a good idea to bring sun protection, a hat, and a dry bag for valuables. Life jackets are standard safety equipment on board.



Schedules and Pricing


Departure times, journey length, and fares for the Green Planet longtail boat can vary depending on the route, season, and demand. To see the most current options for your travel dates, check live availability and pricing before booking.



Booking Conditions


As with most longtail boat services, departures can be affected by weather and sea conditions, and operators may adjust or cancel trips for safety reasons. Review the specific booking conditions, luggage allowance, and cancellation policy shown at checkout before confirming your ticket.



Other Ways to Get There


If you're planning a longer journey or need more comfort and space, it's worth comparing other private transfer options alongside the Green Planet longtail boat, depending on your route and travel dates.

Frequently asked questions

How do I unlock my account now?

Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.

If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.

My account locked but I never tried to sign in

Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.

Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.

We would still recommend two things:

  • Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
  • Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.

If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.

What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?

Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.

Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.

If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.

Why is my account locked?

We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.

You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?

How long am I locked out for?

The first lock is one minute. If sign-in keeps failing after that, each further lock lasts longer:

  • 1st lock — 1 minute
  • 2nd lock — 5 minutes
  • 3rd lock — 15 minutes
  • 4th lock and after — 1 hour

An hour is the longest you will ever be locked out. You get five attempts before the first lock, and as soon as you sign in successfully everything resets — the next time you mistype, you start again at one minute.

How can I get transportation to the Pier (Phuket) from the airport?

You can pick up a taxi from the airport just outside Phuket airport terminal, though please be informed it is a busy place! 

 

Alternatively, you can organize your transfer through us on step 2 of your ferry booking process. The prices are very reasonable. For up to 3 people we have private taxis and for groups of 4-8 people, we can arrange a minivan pick-up service.
