How to get from Koh Kradan to Koh Lipe
Koh Kradan to Koh Lipe ferry
Travelling from Koh Kradan to Koh Lipe connects two of the Andaman Sea's quieter islands. The crossing is best planned around the season and the boat schedule shown on this page, rather than around a fixed departure time.
This route only operates during January to April and October to December. Outside these months, boat operators suspend the Koh Kradan to Koh Lipe service, and the booking engine on this page will show no available departures. If you are searching outside the operating season, check back closer to your travel date, or look at a land-and-boat combination via Pak Bara or Koh Lanta as an alternative way to reach Koh Lipe.
Journey time and departures
The crossing between Koh Kradan and Koh Lipe takes around about 1 minutes by speed boat, though actual timing depends on sea conditions and the operator running that day. Departures run 3, and the exact timetable is confirmed at booking, since frequency can shift with demand and time of year. Booking ahead is the safest way to secure a specific sailing, especially at the start and end of the operating season when demand is highest.
Operators and onboard facilities
Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club services this route with speed boat equipped with onboard facilities. Comfort and punctuality can vary by boat and by sea state, so it is worth checking the specific vessel and departure time at booking rather than assuming the same conditions on every sailing.
Prices
Fares from Koh Kradan to Koh Lipe start from ฿1,400 per person. Whether you are booking a single seat or tickets for two travellers, the total shown at checkout reflects the number of passengers and any transfer add-ons, so review it before confirming.
Departure and arrival points
Boats leave from the pier on Koh Kradan and arrive at the pier on Koh Lipe, where longtail boats often complete the final stretch to the beach if the tide is low. Keep hand luggage light for this last step, as porters and trolleys are not always available on smaller island piers.
Booking your crossing
Once your travel dates fall within January to April and October to December, you can check live availability and book your Koh Kradan to Koh Lipe ferry ticket through the search above. If you also need the return leg, the ferry from Koh Lipe to Koh Kradan runs on the same seasonal schedule and is worth booking at the same time to lock in your preferred departure.

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
