We like to think of them as planes with pontoons or floats which let them take off and land on water. Amphibious seaplanes can operate on both water and land which makes them super handy for tourism, emergencies and getting to tricky destinations.

Why Choose Seaplane Travel?

Seaplane travel in Phuket will cut travel times significantly, avoiding road congestion and choppy sea routes. Ideal for tourists and locals alike, it promises to be a game-changer in how you experience Thailandโ€™s famed islands like Phi Phi and Koh Lanta, enhancing your holiday with quick, scenic transfers that add to the adventure rather than detract from it.

Seaplanes donโ€™t actually need airports; they can simply take off and land on water or any decent landing spot. For example, imagine landing at Phuket Airport after a long flight, but instead of dealing with more travel hassles, you jump straight on a seaplane and fly directly to Krabi in just 20 minutes! So much easier compared to waiting around for a taxi or hire car for the onward 2.5-hour drive.

How about if you are heading to the stunning and popular Phi Phi islands? Well, picture this: Youโ€™ve finally just touched down at Phuket Airport, weary after a long flight. But instead of facing the prospect of a 1-hour drive to a pier plus a 2-hour journey by speedboat, you simply hop on a seaplane and zip straight to Phi Phi in just under 30 minutes.
