How Far Is Maya Bay from Phuket?
Maya Bay is 44.7 km from Rassada Pier in a straight line. How long the van and the boat take on each day trip, how long the whole day is, and when you are back (November 2026).
Maya Bay is 44.7 km from Rassada Pier in a straight line, measured to Loh Samah Bay where the boats land, and 52.8 km from Royal Phuket Marina. By speedboat that is about an hour each way on One Asia Corporation’s Phuket: Maya, Phi Phi, and Bamboo Island with Buffet Lunch, from US$42.51 a person (the option without transfer or park fee on 27 November 2026; US$56.68 on 20 January and 10 March 2027; checked November 2026). With the hotel transfer the day runs from a pickup between 7:00 and 8:00 AM to the pier around 5:00 PM: about 9 hours.
Pick a date, then the option with or without the hotel transfer. Free cancellation runs until 24 hours before.
The distance

| Chalong Pier | 48.7 km | 47.2 km |
| Royal Phuket Marina | 52.8 km | 49.2 km |
Distances in a straight line between the map’s coordinates. Boats go round the islands, so the water route is longer.

Times from each tour’s itinerary, checked November 2026. Van times depend on where your hotel is.
So the boat takes 45 minutes to an hour on most days. What stretches the day is the road: 105 minutes in the van on QUEEN OF ANDAMAN PHUKET's day, two hours on Thai Adventure Club's.
How long the day is
One Asia Corporation’s day takes about 9 hours with the transfer. The boat is back at the pier around 5:00 PM, but it can be 5:30 or 6:00 PM, and the day is not recommended if you have a flight the same day. V. Marine Tour's sunrise day starts at 4:30 AM and also takes about 9 hours. Thai Adventure Club's longest options take 10 hours.
On the water
The crossing is open sea. One Asia Corporation’s day hands out seasickness pills on request, and the day by Good Morning Holiday (PNT Phuket) includes motion sickness medicine. Several of these days, One Asia Corporation’s and Thai Adventure Club's among them, are marked as not suitable for people prone to seasickness.
