Very good tour and service, we had a great experience. Beatifull nature, and sunset. The bioluminescent was the only bit that dident live up to our expectations. I quess we were unlucky, it depends on how bright the moonlight is. But All in All a good tour.

This was the third time I did a day tour with 5 Star Marine. I can’t tell you it is getting better because it was already perfect the first time. We are living in Phuket and take our friends out when they visit us from abroad. What a wonderful day it was again. People are so impressed and happy to discover all those wonderful little islands we are surrounded by here in Phuket. We let the crew decide where to take us, just asked for a quite beach for a picnic and, as usual, they delivered… taking care of all the guests, always bringing us refreshments, informing us about the places we visited. And like every time, they will not rush the tour and bring you back at 2 or 3PM. Some time left…. they will suggest you go visit something else and extend your trip to fill the whole day. We left at 8.30 and came back at 17:30…. Tired and Happy. Big thanks to our crew, our guide Sandy, the captain Coco and Mango. Final advice…. Just don’t change anything. Thank you for that day.

We had an outstanding day exploring Phang Nga Bay with our tour guide Phil and his crew. Our private tour for the 4 of us allowed us to really take our time at each site. Phil made sure to tailor the day to our preferences and took great care to make sure we got the most out of the experience. Additionally, the communication with 5StarMarine to help arrange the tour and throughout the process was exceptional. Thank you 5StarMarine for an unforgettable day.

Thank you for the amazing trip! It was one of the best experiences we've ever had as a family. Communication from the 5 Star Marine team were great from the very beginning to end. We felt very cared for throughout the entire trip with flexibility to spend as little or as long as wanted at each spot. We really enjoyed the gentle pace of canoeing and walking through the caves. We will never forget the magic of swimming with the bioluminescent plankton against the pitch black sky and sea. Please thank Alex and his crew for looking after us so well. My 6 year old daughter is particularly sad and wants to be back on the boat. Will recommend 5 Star Marine to anyone, even those who may be nervous with younger children.

We had an absolutely amazing time on our boat trip on 28 July 2025! It was such a fun and unforgettable experience from start to finish. Piu was unbelievably thoughtful and came up with the best ideas throughout the journey. His extraordinary dedication truly stood out, but what made this trip even more special was the outstanding work ethic and positive attitude of the entire crew. Their teamwork, attention to detail, and warm hospitality turned this experience into something truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
