This tour was amazing! I went during august which is monsoon season and although there was rain on and off during our trip I had such a great time! The water was so warm and our tour guide Goodie was amazing. He made me feel so comfortable and was so funny. I was traveling solo and he kept me company and took plenty of pictures for me. He was super informative.

Great time!

Brad_C, Apr 2024

Boat was not crowded, glad we didn't choose one of the smaller boats. Boats were comfortable. The swimming and snorkeling were amazing, and the guide was great. Meet some great people too, and ended up going out together that night.

I Love it

Valentine_L, Apr 2024

Great fun, Bamboo island is the best

Georgios_V, Apr 2024

Great experience, great service, lots of water, drinks, fruits, snacks. Special call out for Ibi, our guide. He was really knowledgeable and fun. Only downside - the lagoon is so dirty and busy, not a good experience to swim at. Watch out on the way back to give your shoes a soon as you get off the boat or you will burn your feet like my wife did. Overall a very good experience. Would go again

Amazing experience

Geno_S, Apr 2024

This was an absolutely amazing tour. Off given the option or asked book the early tour. Yes, it departs at 440 am but it is well worth it to miss the large crowds. Our guide Sunny was amazing as were the rest of the crew. Definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Greetings from V. Marine Tour, Thank you for writing us a fabulous review. We love that you got to visit Phi Phi Islands in the early morning to see a beautiful sunrise and to avoid the bigger crowds. We are happy that you will have wonderful memories of this day trip with tour guide Sunny and we hope to see you again in the future.

Well Worth It

Natasha_W, Apr 2024

I ended up exchanging another tour for this one due to having the options for a sunrise tour (4:30am) & a smaller group size. Stellar choice I made. I loved every minute of this tour from the awesome tour guide to meeting other travelers to the lunch provided to all the activities & sights planned. I also enjoyed how fast we were going in the water. This tour is very much with booking, you’ll love it.

Beautiful experience

Jason_W, Apr 2024

Really great experience. We got to snorkel at two reefs and the islands are just beautiful. Our guide P kept us comfortable and informed on the boat ride. We took the very early morning tour to avoid crowds and the afternoon heat, and that was a good choice

Great day out!

Melissa_R, Apr 2024

Tour guide named us his ‘sexieeees’! Everything was well organised and went smoothly. The boat staff were very attentive and were constantly offering refreshments. Amazing stop offs especially Maya bay!!

Amazing Experience

Kiara_A, Apr 2024

What an amazing experience! Our tour guide was just fabulous and the crew was very attentive. The stops were more than sufficient and many opportunities to take amazing pictures. Truly exceptional!!!

Definitely book this trip!!!

Carolyn_M, Apr 2024

I am SO GLAD I booked this trip. It was a bit more expensive than some of the other similar trips, but well worth the extra cost. The level of professionalism and care from the entire boat crew was really impressive - they gave detailed instructions and updates of where we were going throughout the trip, volunteered to take photos without me even having to ask, always made sure that everyone had a cold beverage as needed, always circled around with snacks, and even took garbage out of your hands immediately before you even had a chance to throw it out yourself. Top tier service. The locations we went to were also just absolutely breathtaking, gorgeous clear blue water everywhere. Make sure you select the sunrise option to avoid a lot of crowds, worth the extra bit of money!

Beautiful Places, professional tour.

Steve_B, Apr 2024

We took the early morning option which was worth it for it the beautiful sunrise. P and his team were very well organised and couldn't do enough for us. It was a really smooth way to get out and marvel at such beautiful places. The snorkelling was better than expected and the Thai lunch was excellent. Highly recommended!

4.5

Nicole_F, Apr 2024

The early morning pickup was difficult, but thank goodness we were in this sweet boat. The ride was smooth, they fed us snacks and food regularly, it didn’t feel too crowded, the boat avoided other tour groups (except for the last stop), and we had excellent snorkeling. They let us rinse with fresh water after every swim and were super friendly and nice. After reading all the reviews on viator and other sites, I’m glad we spent the money for this trip. Enjoy!

Sunrise -beat the crowds (do it)

leanne_b, Mar 2024

This trip was absolutely Perfect!! The staff were amazing, and the trip was worth every penny. I was alittle nervous doing a trip so early but I am so glad we did. Seeing the sunrise while on the speedboat and having breakfast on a private island was just incredible. Maya bay was brilliant and luckily we didn’t have to pay the fees to get in. The whole trip incredible and we have got some wonderful memories & pictures too.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Greetings from V. Marine Tour, Thank you for a 5 stars-review. We completely agree that the Sunrise Tour is a very good tour, but you may need to wake up early and feel a little sleepy. This tour is suitable for those who want to avoid the crowds at Maya Bay. The Maya Bay entry fee was included in the tour package. That's why you didn't need to pay any additional fees during your trip. Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Phi Phi Island Spectacular

Susan_M, Mar 2024

This was an amazing tour!! Everything had been thought out from the moment we were picked up until we arrived back! The boat ride to Phi Phi can be bumpy so if you suffer from any type of motion sickness be sure to take the motion sickness tablet that is offered! Sunny was an excellent guide and navigated us to locations to avoid the crowds! It is 100% worth getting up early to do this tour! You will not be disappointed!

Very satisfied client

Mudi_R, Mar 2024

The early start meant we saw the beautiful sunrise at Khai Nai without any other boats there but ours. While there were other people on all the other stops, it wasn't an overwhelming crowd. P and the rest of the crew were very helpful throughout serving drinks and snacks and making sure everyone is okay. They also have a photographer who comes with (for an extra fee) - comes in very handy if you're traveling solo.

Amazing!!

Sam_S, Mar 2024

After suffering a terrible booking experience with 5 Star Marine (should be called zero star marine!) and Klook (Crook??!!) we booked this tour on Viator and aren’t we glad we did so!! Pick up was smooth, check in was streamlined and efficient. We were on the speed boat in no time. Wai (spelling?) was an amazing tour guide and his team of helpers and also the captain of the boat were truly outstanding. Enough time given on each island and lunch was delicious. Wai described each spot extremely well and made sure everyone understood everything. Everyone on board was very helpful. Plenty of water and soft beverages, snacks and fresh fruit were passed through the entire trip. Don’t think twice before booking this one. Avoid 5 Star and Klook.

Incredible - Not to be missed!

Gemma_H, Mar 2024

Cannot recommend this enough! All the staff were super friendly. Sunny! was so lovely! English was brilliant so made the trip educational and fun. Enough time at each location. Dinner was delicious and the drink and snacks available all day. The boat boys and Sonny take photos for you if required and are happy to help with anything. The snorkeling was a nice addition and the amount of fish you can see was out of this world. Got there before the crowds so made some perfect photos and got to enjoy it without it being too busy. Thank you again!

Greatest Experience Ever

Simon_K, Mar 2024

Absolutely the greatest trip you could take, P and the crew were the best ever. From the minute we were picked up till the drop off the experience was marvelous. Nothing was an issue, everyone was more then happy to help. The islands were breath taking and the crew where very knowledgeable about every island stop. Would book again without hesitation. Thank you once again.
