Which boat to take from Lại Sơn (Hòn Sơn) to Rạch Giá?
The trip from Lại Sơn to Rạch Giá takes 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30. For the return trip, the most important thing is not to schedule things too tightly: it's a small island with only a few trips a day, and schedules may change due to weather.

Departure and arrival piers
Departure pier: Lại Sơn pier.
Arrival pier: Rạch Giá pier.
You should arrive at the pier 30–45 minutes before departure to complete procedures and secure your seat; bring identification documents for all passengers, including children.
Buy your return ticket early
On the island, the safest approach is to buy or confirm your return ticket as soon as you arrive, especially on weekends and holidays. With so few trips, if one is cancelled due to rough seas, tickets for the next one sell out very quickly. Do not book connecting flights on the same day of your return.
General notes for boat travel
General notes for island-bound boats: departure times depend on weather and tides; the operator finalizes the schedule daily and reserves the right to cancel trips in rough seas. After buying your ticket, monitor the operator's announcements before your travel day, and do not schedule connecting flights immediately after the boat trip — always leave a buffer of half a day. Those prone to seasickness should take medication 30–45 minutes beforehand and choose a seat in the middle of the boat, on the lower deck.
