In low season the speed boats cease running and the slow boat can also stop, depending on custom. It's best to call ahead to your chosen resort if you're going in the low season so they can help with travel arrangements.

From Ko Chang, the Island Hopper leaves Bang Bao about 08:00 each morning, passing by Ko Wai and arriving at Ko Maak about 11:00. There's also an afternoon service that leaves Ko Chang about 12:00. Heading back, boats depart Ko Maak about 10:00 and 14:00. Prices range from 200B to 500B, depending on whether you're simply going to the next island, or taking advantage of the round trips.

There's also a number of smaller companies based along Bang Bao pier on Ko Chang that provide passage to Ko Maak so if you've missed one boat, keep asking. Monkey Island provides a speed boat to and from Bang Bao, (leaving 08.00 and returning 14.00), and if you contact the Panan speed boat company they can also stop in Ko Chang's Dan Mai pier on their way to and from the island.
