Scenic tour with bioluminescence and good amount of activiites - A well organized tour. The tour operator had tailor made this new tour and it was a great experience. For the price; there were good amount of sights n activities included. I loved the way he regaled us with stories of each location. Included some fun activities like jumping off the boat! Trying to hold the bioluminescence in your hand or clothes was a lovely experience

Excellent tour.... - Excellent tour. Everything was perfect starting from information sharing, condition of the speed boat and boat staff. I would suggest to take this tour over phi phi islands tour if anyone wants to book only single tour.

Lovely tour - Amazing! The crowds were few, and the journey felt intimate. Teddy, our guide, spoke with clarity and warmth, painting a vivid picture of the adventure ahead. This was one of the finest tours on Viator—where we wandered through echoing caves, watched monkeys dance in the trees, and marveled at the ethereal glow of bioluminescence beneath the night sky.

This was by far the best tour that I have booked in any country! - If you only book one tour please make sure it’s is this one! From the driver who picked us up and dropped us off to the pre tour refreshments, snacks, unlimited drinks and lunch, everything was perfect. Everything was well planned and organised and our Guide, Wawa, and team were knowledgeable and so extremely helpful. The tour itself was in no way like other tours, sea canoeing amongst limestone cliffs, the village on stilts with its adorable children, James Bond Island and of course the bioluminescence were once in a lifetime experiences. It was wonderful how the crew actually found the bioluminescence instead of just saying that there wasn’t any at a regular spot as many other tours would do. The tour group was small which made for a leisurely, enjoyable day without the usual rushing. We would not hesitate to do this tour again and again!

Must do in Phuket. - Genuinely the best trip around the Phuket area. It visits every single site you want to see which is something many other tours don’t do. Tour guides were very friendly and I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to see all these sites.

Very good! - Very friendly staff and perfect organisation: everything is on time, without delays. My mom cannot swim, but in order to see the plankton in the cave, we were supposed to swim a bit. So we informed the driver of the boat and he parked the boat inside the cave! On the bad side, on our trip there was an accident: someone stole 300 USD from another tourist and tried to steal money from us as well, but luckily, they just opened our wallet and didn’t take any money. So, I would like to bring attention to this problem. Maybe the organisers should install some lockers on the boat, or staff should stay in the boat all the time to watch our belongings. They said it would be safe to leave our things, and that someone would stay to keep watch, but apparently that didn’t happen.

Highly recommended afternoon and sunset boat tour - Having read what the boat trip offered we decided to do this tour as it covered everything we wanted to do. We were unable to get picked up so we made our own way to 5 star marina. We were made welcome by the whole team. after signing in we were assigned to Sammy who along with 1 crew and the driver were excellent. We were informed of everything, felt safe and had a thoroughly amazing experience. Would highly recommend this boat tour, thank you for sn amazing afternoon

Great experience with Teddy! - Overall a great experience. Teddy was very good guide and kept the tour well informed and on schedule. The bioluminescence (white for our tour) was really cool but you need to disturb/splash the water to cause the plankton to glow. Just don’t have expectations that the sea will be glowing all the time like some Disney attraction. It’s very faint and short-lived “flashes” of dim light and nearly impossible to get useable photos or video. My wife was able to catch a few glowing plankton in her hand. We had a half moon night in a sheltered alcove so was very dark. However, the photo on the tour overview of a “blue glowing sea” seems unrealistic. Still a great experience and would recommend to see it.

Great tour, but missed a few pieces of info. - Tour was great and so was our guide. However, the pickup ended up being an hour earlier than we were expecting and there was no advance notice. So we rushed out the door. Also, dinner was at a Muslim floating island and we were not dressed appropriately, we did not have advanced notice of that either to ensure we had the appropriate dress way so as not to be disrespectful. Otherwise it was very, very good. The bioluminescence was amazing
