oh Lanta is easily accessible throughout the year, by land and sea, depending on your starting point. Vehicles can access the island through the two car ferries. The first crosses to Koh Lanta Noi where after a short drive you pick up the smaller and quicker ferry onto Koh Lanta Yai (the main island). The ferries run continuously throughout the day from 06:00 to 22:00 (Green Season 07:00 to 20:30) with the first taking 20-30 minutes and the second about 10 minutes.
Once on Lanta there is a small network of roads covering the majority of the island. Two main roads run the length of the east and west coasts and are interconnected by four smaller roads. Motorbikes are easy and cheap to hire on the island, whilst a smaller number of jeeps are rented out.
Taxis are plentiful on the island, with small tuk tuks (motorbikes with a sidecar) being cheap and ideal for short journeys. Larger white open minibuses are more suitable for longer journeys (to the Old Town, Klong Nin and beyond). Taxi prices are displayed at taxi points so check the price you are quoted.
