Beautiful hike, morning pick-up in perfect time, everything organized very well, experience that I would do again many times

È meraviglioso sapere che l'esperienza è stata così memorabile da indurvi a ripeterla con piacere. Apprezziamo molto il vostro supporto e speriamo di darvi nuovamente il benvenuto presto!
The tour was awesome. Picking up was on time and everything else was very well organized. I went with my wife and child (5 years). We've experienced so many great things. Thanks to the crew who were great. What was special to me was I saw a baby shark snorkeling. Maya Bay theme: Since I would always book the sunrise tour to avoid the crowds. For us it was unique and beautiful. Thanks again.

It’s great that you enjoyed the food and our fantastic crew, and we’re glad the vegetarian options suited you as well. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again! 🌴🚤
Rising at dawn to see a sunrise on a beach with dilapidated buildings and no interest. There are so many beautiful beaches in Thailand without selecting the one we had. Tourist trap type excursion with dozens of boats making the same trip. Spots for snorkeling not especially grandiose and with few fish. It was a disappointment to wake up so early for so little interest.
Salutations de V. Marine Tour, Merci pour votre commentaire sincère. Nous sommes vraiment désolés d'apprendre que l'expérience du lever de soleil et l'emplacement sur la plage n'ont pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Le départ matinal est conçu pour permettre aux clients de visiter Maya Bay au lever du soleil et d'éviter l'affluence plus importante qui arrive généralement plus tard dans la matinée, mais nous comprenons que le cadre et l'ambiance ne conviennent pas à tout le monde.
We had an amazing experience on this tour and were extremely satisfied with everything. The organization was excellent from start to finish, and the crew truly made the difference — they were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the whole trip. The islands were absolutely stunning and seeing the sunrise from one of them made the experience even more special. Everything was well planned and smooth, so we could just relax and enjoy the beauty around us. The food was very good, and we really appreciated the constant availability of cold water and fresh fruit, which was perfect, especially in the heat. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket. We even had a little adventure in the end, so we will never forget the experience. A big thank you to the fantastic crew for making it such a memorable day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **MUST-DO EXPERIENCE!** The early morning small-group speedboat tour is an absolute winner — avoiding the crowds made all the difference. Sunny was a fantastic tour guide: professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. We genuinely loved him and the whole crew. The Phi Phi Islands are *breathtakingly* beautiful — photos don’t do them justice. We snorkelled and swam at multiple spots, each one stunning in its own way. The seaview lunch was delicious, with authentic Thai food that really hit the spot. We also opted for the personal photographer, and it was 100% worth it — amazing family photos we’ll treasure forever. The boat was modern, spotless, and very comfortable, with plenty of refreshments and fresh fruit throughout the day. Our family of four absolutely loved every minute. Honestly, we can’t fault a single thing. **Book it — you won’t regret it!** 🌊🐠✨

We had a great day on this trip visiting many islands and snorkelling. Goodie was a great host and was very informative. We visited and island to watch the sunrise and then went to Maya Bay which was quiet as it was early we then went snorkelling and We stopped off for lunch at phi phi Don. The only thing I would say is the speed boat is not for the faint hearted and get get quite bumpy in windy weather

Great tour- goodies, our guide, was fantastic. We never ran into a crowd. We saw all the crammed boats arriving as we left each island. There were so many snacks. Great day, we are so happy we picked this one.
