Quick tips
- •Arrive at the pier 45–60 minutes early in high season.
- •Speedboats are faster; ferries are usually smoother and cheaper.
- •Pre-book the land transfer so you are not rushing with luggage.
Island days start on land. A reliable hotel-to-pier transfer is as important as the boat ticket itself.
Weather and park rules can change Maya Bay access — check with your operator the day before.
On return evenings, private pier pickups beat waiting for shared vans, especially with wet bags and tired kids.
If you fly out of Phuket or Krabi the next morning, leave buffer time for ferry delays.
