Amazing tour!
My wife and I came to Phuket for our honeymoon from the USA and choose to do a private boat rental with scuba diving in the Phi Phi islands
They picked us up at our hotel right on time in a spacious van - and brought us to the dock. The staff and team on board were great and helped create a great day based on conditions out including 4 sight seeing spots, lunch, a swimming lagoon and 2 dive sights.
The diving was super fun - we did 2 seperate 40 minute dives and saw tons of wildlife/ reefs.
Great experience all around - professional - fun - and so beautiful 100% recommend.
Operator response
Thank you so much, Matthew, for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! 😊
We’re thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such a memorable honeymoon experience with us in Phi Phi. It was a pleasure having you both onboard, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the scuba diving, snorkeling, sightseeing, and time exploring the beautiful islands.
We’re especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the two 40-minute dives and got to see so much marine life and reef. Our team always does their best to tailor the day around the sea conditions and what our guests would enjoy most.
Thank you again for choosing 5 Star Marine Phuket to be part of your honeymoon. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Phuket in the future! 🌴🌊🤿
Warm regards,

The best operator to go to Phi Phi Island
Was the best trip!!! We started the trip early so was able to get to the spots when no one was around. The staff were super thoughtful and accomodating, even making us a cake to celebrate our anniversary!! Would recommend this and can’t wait to come back

An Unforgettable Phi Phi Tour with 5 Star Marine – Special Thanks to Fai & the Amazing Crew! ❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an amazing experience with 5 Star Marine on our private Phi Phi Islands tour!
Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the entire day was smooth, enjoyable and truly memorable.
A very special thank you to Fai — she was absolutely lovely! She was kind, friendly, attentive and wonderful with our family, especially the kids. She took such great care of us throughout the day and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.
The entire crew were fantastic as well — professional, helpful, patient and always smiling. We felt completely safe and very well taken care of throughout the whole trip.
This was definitely one of the highlights of our Phuket holiday and such a beautiful experience for our family.
Thank you Fai and the whole crew for making our day so special. ❤️🙏
We would absolutely recommend 5 Star Marine, especially for families looking for a wonderful private boat experience in Phuket! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know this sounds like a paid advertorial but trust me it isn't
Just came back from Phuket. We were four families with kids from 6-12 years old, and having a private tour was the best decisions we made for our trip. The nice videos and blogs the team makes kept us looking forward to the tour (dont miss them - like their FB page too). We were travelling in the rainy season and the last thing we wanted was to have our tour on a day with thunderstorms (which happened on the day we arrived in Phuket) The customer service team assured that they could adjust the schedule should the weather be bad, and sent us weather forecast to give us peace of mind. This was especially important to me as I tend to over worry especially when we have so many kids. The CS team was always quick to respond to questions, and sent detailed and timely reminders before the trip, keeping us well informed of what to expect.
The breakfast they provided was decent. Our guide Anwa was both friendly and professional. He gave a detailed briefing on the tour before we went on the boat, which was well maintained and very spacious for the 15 of us. I think one moment I would still recall for a very long time from now was when we sat at the front of the boat and seeing the Phi Phi Island getting closer and bigger as we approached, and that I was in awe admiring its magnificant cliffs. Watching a youtube video on this world famous landscape is one thing, appreciating its beauty in my own way is another. This is a world apart from being stuffed on a boat packed with many other tourists, and seeing the landscape for the first time only when you leave the boat. For those moments alone I did thought the private tour was well worth it :)
Though we didn't set off early we were lucky to have arrived at Maya Bay before it became too crowded, again one good thing about travelling with a private tour. We then arrived at a different bay for swimming, but since we preferred to spend more time on snorkeling Anwa quickly adjusted his plan. We ended up having an hour of so (I lost track of time to be honest) for snorkeling and we all enjoyed it. The last highlight of the tour was lunch on an island - we had feared that it would be expensive as the restaurant was part of a hotel, but the food and drinks turned out to be very reasonably priced (and tasty) and we were thankful as we had hungry kids to feed!
All in all you won't regret joining 5 star marine tours as they well deserve the ‘5 star’ title. We came to Phuket in a smaller group last year and joined a random island hopping tour at those small stalls on streets of Patong. I know you can’t compare a random group tour and a private tour but in Cantonese, we say “the difference is nine streets”, if not eighteen streets in this case! And if you compute the cost per head - the difference is actually minimal. If you are travelling in a big group, look no further and just join one of their tours please.
Thank you Anwa and the team for everything and of course Shaun and the rest of the staff for making island hopping in Phuket the most enjoyable experience for all adults and kids in our group. Pls keep up with the good work!

5 star live up to their name
A brilliant experience for all the family. We booked direct and got great value for money as well as lots of support from the team on the weather and what to expect. There were 6 of us (including 4 teenagers) on the boat and there was loads of room inside and at the front. The Crew were really helpful and designed the day to fit us. One of our children has special needs and the crew were amazing at adapting perfectly to ensure she had a great day. We opted to spend more time in the boat and in the water, which meant we got to see loads. I recommend the 6.30 pick up. The crew helped us avoid all the crowds, including at Maya Bay. This tour would suit everyone as they personalise each trip.

Recommend wholeheartedly
Incredible day with Sun on our private tour and transfer to Phi Phi Don. Sun’s knowledge of the area was first class, it meant we were ahead of the crowds at each part of our day. Definitely allow the staff to build your itinerary. We felt safe throughout the day, our driver was exceptional in navigating some of the choppy seas we experienced. Communication from first booking was great. Would 100% recommend, excellent value for money.
