The BEST boat trip!! - We’ve been on a few boat trips over the years, but this is one of the best by far.
Pick up was on time and in a nice air conditioned mini bus, the driver was polite and a more than competent safe driver.
The check-in at the marina was well organised and there was free tea, coffee and water available, the price includes 2 waterproof phone covers.
The boat was clean and the staff 4 crew were fantastic, especially Ray who was the tour guide. It can get a little choppy when travelling at speed, so if you suffer with sea sickness take some medication beforehand, it takes about an hour to get to the first island. All the islands are stunning… total paradise! Lunch at the Holiday Inn hotel was excellent, a good choice and very plenty of it. Water, Coke, and snacks are served free of charge on the boat throughout the day.
We got back to the marina at approximately 4.45pm. All in all an excellent day and highly recommend.

Best island hopping tour - We went on Wednesday February 5th, and our tour leader was P. This is my third island hopping tour and this was easily hands down the best one by far, head and shoulders above the rest. P and the entire crew were exceptional, showing everyone the most upstanding hospitality. The itinerary was well thought out and paced perfectly, never felt rushed like we were corralled from one attraction to the next. The two snorkeling stops and swimming in the lagoon were easily the highlights. Refreshments were served throughout the whole day. Our lunch spot was isolated from the other tour groups (which I will touch on) and they accommodated my dietary restrictions with a view overlooking the ocean. Joining a tour with a small group will make all the difference. There was enough room for everybody on board with adequate space for everyone.
We lucked out with the perfect weather, and lucked out even more that everyone in our group were well behaved and conscientious of others. My previous two island tours were negatively impacted by obnoxious loud groups who were either oblivious or didn’t care that they were not the only ones on board.
Last point I want to touch on is you get what you pay for. This is my second Viator island hopping trip. The third one we found at one of the many local vendors you can find throughout the entire island. They are much cheaper but buyer beware. Those trips they will pack as many people as possible,; we were packed like sardines with not enough space for everyone to be seated. At lunch all the similar tour groups ate a common buffet area that resembled a cafeteria . Anyways, circling back to V Marine tour, I highly recommend and would easily book again on my next visit.

Awesome trip….highly recommend this for everyone!!! - Excellent….a little confusing at first with the 100+ people all gathered at the marina after being dropped off, but many people giving directions on what to do and where to go….very organized. The islands, snorkeling, beaches, and lunch were spectacular!! So many fish during snorkeling….they were eating out of my hand. The onboard toilet was available, but many opportunities on shore because you can’t really use the toilet onboard while the boat is bouncing over the waves at 40-50 miles per hour. The lunch was fantastic! These people made only drawback….it was supposed to be small group of 20 people, but we had 28 on our boat….it still wasn’t crowded, but more people than we expected.

This was the best boat... - This was the best boat tour we’ve ever been on! Everything was perfectly planned by the tour company from start to finish, with great timings to see all the different spots in the Phi Phi islands. We did the sunrise tour, which was so worth it to beat the crowds and the heat. Sunny and his crew were amazingly friendly, thoughtful and so so helpful with our two kids. If you’re planning to go to the Phi Phi islands, do this tour!!!

Unforgettable experience - Ray and the team on boat 999 from V. Marine Tour were the best! Our package included transfers to and from the marina which was good because it was around an hour from Patong including picking up of other passengers. What I liked about this particular package as opposed to others I saw while out there was we were not crammed in like sardines in the boat, the boat itself had plenty of grunt to get us to the islands quickly (there is not much to see on the way out to the islands in my opinion) and they had ample amount of fruit, snacks and water / soft drink while on board. The lunch was provided at a resort on one of the island stops which was okay. A trip to Phi Phi is a must do while here and these guys really make it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend!

Absolutely The BEST!!! - What an incredible experience with V. Marine on our trip to the Phi Phi Islands! The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, like something straight out of a postcard. Every moment was unforgettable.
The trip was impeccably organized—like a well-oiled machine. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly. The boat ride was comfortable and accommodating for everyone on board, and we were treated to a delicious lunch, along with drinks and snacks throughout the day.
A huge highlight of our day was our tour guide, Sexy Goodies. Their humor, character, and kind, caring nature transformed what could have been just a great day into something absolutely extraordinary. Sexy Goodies was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an amazing time. They were helpful with absolutely everything, making the trip seamless and fun.
Also the photo package captured by Yod was priceless!
This was a day our family will never forget—simply amazing. We can't recommend V. Marine highly enough!

Fantastic Day - We were picked up at the cruise port in Patong. We had arranged a private tour and it was a good thing since with traffic, the transfer was more than an hour.
Upon arrival we were registered and then boarded the speedboat almost immediately.
The boat is very loud and goes quite fast. Our travel day the water was pretty rough but the captain did a great job trying to minimize the bumpiness. Seasickness meds were a must for those of us who are sensitive.
It was 1 1/4 hours to our first stop on Monkey Beach. We enjoyed this scenic spot. Then we boarded the boat again and moved slightly off shore to a spot for some amazing snorkeling. Fantastic marine life and coral.
We then went to several spots including Bamboo island and then on to a stop for lunch. The food was served at a hotel and the variety and quality was excellent.
We stopped to spend some time at the National Park, another location to see some caves and swam in a beautiful lagoon. Our final stop was Maya Bay. The most beautiful bay of the day but crawling with people.
All day Ibi and his crew were extremely attentive. Checking in often to ensure we were ok, making sure everyone was comfortable, helping us off and on the boat, providing snacks and bottled water. You couldn’t have asked for a nicer bunch! They were all so sweet and focused on making our day perfect. They even took numerous pictures of us so we have some wonderful memories.
Our private transfer back to the port was needed as the traffic was worse later in the day but we made it with 1/2 hour before the last scheduled tender. The ship tours were much later coming back. But we were relaxing back on the ship by this time.
Highly recommend this tour and company to explore this beautiful area.

Overall the staff was... - Overall the staff was professional, wind was very strong causing the water to be extremely choppy. They didn’t have enough life vests for everyone on board which causes risk of emergency.
