Excursion privée en bateau sur l'île de Khai

We booked our tour via WhatsApp a few days before departure. We received a very good price, probably because it was low season. The communication beforehand was excellent, and we really appreciated being able to customize the tour according to our own wishes. When we arrived at the marina with their arranged private driver, we received a very warm welcome, and they were also incredibly kind to our two young children. Our guide, Sandy, showed us a large map of the islands and gave us her recommendations since the weather conditions were not ideal. She made it clear that we could change our plans along the way, which was especially reassuring when traveling with small children. We set off with the captain, Sandy, and the engineer, first heading to Khai Nai and later Khai Nok. The crew did everything possible to ensure we had the best experience, even though these two small islands are no longer as untouched and private as we naively thought. There were vendors waiting to sell us various things, and it was very comforting that Sandy stayed with us throughout. She also took several photos during the trip, which were later sent to us. At Khai Nok, they anchored away from the other boats, so although there were a lot of visitors, it actually felt very peaceful considering the number of people there. It was wonderful that they had taken this into consideration simply to make our experience better. At one point, both of our children fell asleep on the boat at the same time, and Sandy kindly offered to watch over them. This gave us half an hour of adult time, during which we were provided with snorkeling gear and could jump into the water just a few feet from the boat. It was the best half hour of our entire vacation! Afterward, we were taken to a small floating village/island where the restaurant is recommended in the Michelin Guide. At first, we thought it would be crowded, but we had the whole place to ourselves. It felt magical sitting there in the middle of nowhere, enjoying deep-fried whole crab and whole fish at a low table above the water, surrounded by fish farms, shellfish, and pearl farms on weathered wooden platforms. Even the primitive toilets had ocean views through the gaps in the floor. Incredible! The local people work incredibly hard, yet they remain so kind and welcoming toward tourists like us. We were also served a beautiful platter of freshly cut fruit made by the boat crew, drinks throughout the trip, and refreshing cold towels. Nothing was missing. We absolutely loved the experience and hope to repeat it one day. Would recommend to everyone! A huge thank you to Sandy and the entire crew!

Excellent tour with jessica as our guide. This was a lot of money, however it was a great experience and worth the money. The team personalised our trip to account for us travelling with 2 young children and timed our islands trips well to avoid the crowds. Thank you to all the team

Where to start best week ever and oh we never wanted for anything. We are all boaters at home and it just doesn’t get better than this trip

We have joined boat tours with this amazing team five times, and every single time has been an absolute pleasure. From the very first tour, they made us feel not just like guests, but like part of a family. A very special thank you to Jessica ❤️and Kevin — your warmth, professionalism, and genuine care truly made each experience unforgettable. They were also incredibly kind and attentive to our son, which meant a lot to us as a family. Thanks to their approach, we always felt that families can travel comfortably and confidently with children on these tours. In fact, on our last tour, we rearranged our plans at the very last minute just so we could spend this special time with them again — and it was 100% worth it. The whole team is fantastic, friendly, and incredibly attentive. Every tour felt safe, relaxed, fun, and full of great memories. We always felt comfortable and welcomed as a family. We honestly cannot recommend this boat tour enough. If you are considering a tour — especially if you’re traveling with kids — don’t hesitate. This team will make it an experience you’ll want to repeat, just like we did. Thank you all for the wonderful memories. We hope to see you again very soon! Burak &Nevra & Uygar

We booked 5 Star Marine for a last-minute Khai Islands private tour, and they exceeded all expectations. We originally had a James Bond Island tour with another company and thought it would take the whole day. Surprisingly, we finished around 10 AM. At 10:30 AM, I contacted 5 Star Marine hoping they could accommodate us without any prior reservation—and they did! They arranged to pick us up from our hotel by 1 PM. Truly impressive service. From the moment we were picked up, the staff were extremely accommodating and polite. Our guide, Noon, was especially wonderful—very attentive, reassuring, and warm. I was nervous about snorkeling in the open, deep water and happened to mention that it was my birthday. To my surprise, when we returned to the pier, she had prepared a birthday cake for me. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience extra special. The fruits and drinks included in the package were fresh, clean, and beautifully prepared. Everything felt well-organized and high-quality. Overall, we loved the entire trip and truly appreciated the exceptional service. We’ll definitely be booking with 5 Star Marine again for our next island tours. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience, we had 3 little ones on this trip and they all had a wonderful experience. Professional and friendly crew, a great day out.

Brilliant day, despite the weather. Few and his crew could not have been more helpful and caring. They all really wanted us to have the best day possible. Took us to a great snorkeling spot. Floating seafood restaurant was amazing. Few even made sure the jet ski rental was legit. Extra mile.

Amazing experience .Speed boat was excellent.Crew was so cooperative . I loved the way they took care of my elderly mother.Highly recommended.

Staying at coconut island Family of four adults, private boat tour to the khai islands. Picked up and dropped back at the island. Staff were fab, and couldn’t do enough for you. Snorkelling opportunities. Food and jet skis on the islands for those who wish to indulge. Trip to floating restaurant’s was offered for food after the trip. Refreshments and fresh fruit offered throughout. Great day all around. Slightly out of season staff were really helpful with my enquiries re weather.

If you are thinking of booking with 5 Star Marine do not hesitate. We booked a private tour to the Khai Islands for 11 of us for my husbands 50th. The day was magical! They thought of everything to comms before the trip, taking photos of the group throughout the day. They even surprised my husband with a cake and a gift which was a really lovely touch. Having our own private boat meant we could be flexible with our day. They picked us up from our hotel at 6.30am. I was apprehensive about the early get up but it was absolutely worth it the first island we had to ourselves for around an hour! We then went snorkelling and then onto a further island for the afternoon. We had catering provided on the day of Massaman curry and Chicken and cashew nuts. It was delicious 10/10! Everyone who came on the trip couldn't believe how well organised it was the crew were exemplary and so kind. Thank you so much for creating such an unforgettable birthday for my husband!
