Unforgettable day! - We had a spectacular day with 5starmarine, thanks to our fantastic guide Alex and his team. We requested to see Phi Phi Island, Panyee Island, and bioluminescent plankton, and they delivered all that and more. From kayaking through stunning caves and swimming with vibrant fish to enjoying a delicious lunch, the experience was unforgettable. The speedboat was new, clean, and comfortable, making the whole trip even more enjoyable. This tour was truly the highlight of our Phuket visit. I highly, highly recommend 5starmarine for an exceptional and memorable adventure. They took great care of our family.

Amazing private tour with a professional and warm team! - Don't hesitate! If you're considering a tour with 5 Star Marine, DO IT! We have nothing but amazing things to say about the whole team! From booking, all the way throughout the lead up, and on the day itself, the whole team were professional, communicated extremely well at each step of the process, and looked after us so well on the day! From organising specific soft drinks for the day, prompt and efficient pick up and drop off from our hotel, and such amazing guides on board, these guys are amazing! Our guide Dream was such a pleasure to spend the day with, really made us feel looked after and was extremely knowledgeable. But more than this, he was genuine in his warmth and pride in sharing this part of Thailand with us! Dinner at the floating village was great.. although we ordered way too much (bear in mind the servings are substantial!) With it being rainy season, the day started off with a LOT of rain.. but honestly, the way the team conducted the tour and still managed to show us all the sights, while avoiding the big crowds (as well as rhe rain) made us forget all about the morning downpour. A truly memorable day, and we will definitely do it again when we are next in Phuket! Thank you Dream, and the whole team! It was amazing!

So many wonderful surprises! - I have to say that working with 5-Star was fantastic from the initial booking, through communication while we were in Phuket, all the way through the tours themselves. We actually booked two tours with them, the Dolphin-Spotting/Snorkeling and the Bioluminescence tours. Our first tour was the Dolphin-Spotting/Snorkeling tour. I was very happy with how upfront 5-Star was in the booking and then with the guide that they engage in only ethical dolphin-spotting, so there's always a possibility that you won't see any dolphins. We didn't on our tour, but we did not feel disappointed in the company since they were so up-front about that. Plus, the fact that they do approach this ethically is something we were both happy about. The snorkeling was great and Coral Island was a nice bit of relaxation. Our guide Jun was so great that we made sure to request him for our 2nd tour as well. When we asked about the getting something to eat, he recommended the floating seafood restaurant as opposed to us getting a bite on the more tourist-y island. It was a great recommendation and a place we were already planning on trying to visit, so it was great to have that happen on the trip. Our 2nd tour was initially booked for a Friday, but my partner had a really bad back spasm in the morning and wouldn't have been able to handle the boat ride. 5-Star was so accommodating to let us reschedule for the Sunday instead. On Sunday, we did have Jun again and he was amazing. This was the sea canoeing and bioluminescence tour. The sea canoeing and the cave walking to the different lagoons and spaces inside the islands was fantastic and would've been amazing on its own. However, the star was the bioluminescence at the end. From the photos and write-up on 5-Star's website, we thought we'd be seeing some cool bioluminescent algae effects from the boat after sunset. However, what we got was even more fantastic and well worth the tour all by itself. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I do recommend this tour if you want a magical evening moment. If we are able to make it back to Phuket in the future, we will definitely be trying some of the other tours that 5-Star offers.

Great Experience - We had an absolute great day and night out. Jimmy and the local crew were great. Very knowledgeable, helpful, organised and respectful. Sea was a little choppy in parts but still go in a nice dive around Khai island. Much calmer as you head north the the boats really move. The highlights for us were cave canoeing into hidden lagoons. We also got to see some really cool wildlife (monkeys, eagles, water monitors and octopus). Floating village was an interesting place for dinner and the bioluminescence was the cherry on top of a great day. Could not recommend this company more highly.

We WILL come back! - I took some time before posting my review to truly process our experience with 5 Star Marine. It was an experience like we’ve never had, and I did countless hours of research for our two trips with Five Star, wanting to ensure we were getting the best experience we could. Four friends from Texas embarked on an adventure of a lifetime with 5 Star Marine, experiencing the Bioluminescent tour and the Phi Phi Island tour on two separate days. Our guide on both trips was Alex, one of the most genuine people we met during our two-week trip to Phuket. His happiness was evident as he explained the special hidden places we visited. Our journey began each day with a private van pickup from our hotel, and we were greeted by Alex, at the marina. The Bioluminescent tour, which was Alex's tour program, left us stunned. The attention to detail was remarkable, and we were pleasantly surprised when Alex gave us a cake to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We were captivated by every turn of the boat, every view, and every detail. Alex's dedication to service and attention to detail was beyond compare. Alex and his crew on Lucas 6 were the highlight of our entire vacation in Thailand. He is a treasure who truly loves his job and showing off his he beauty of Thailand. He even took the time to pick up trash from the ocean while we were snorkeling. It was an amazing experience to tour Phang Nag Bay and Phi Phi Islands with Alex and 5 Star. We will travel back to Phuket just to explore more with Five Star.

Outstanding. Lifelong memories - Our custom tour of phi phi , maya bay, James Bond island , lunch and bioluminescence was outstanding. Our tour guide Alex and his team was incredible. Every aspect from the booking , communication, transfers was organized and professional. The highlights were snorkeling, the caves , sea canoeing and of course the magical bioluminescence. We were able to adapt around the crowds and find secret grottos and swimming places that only the locals know. The boat was fast clean and well equipped. This tour was one of the best we have ever done . Alex is wonderful . Worth every cent .

HIGHLIGHT of our trip! - Thank you for giving us an UNFORGETTABLE trip! We are super happy that we went with 5 Star Marine for this trip to Phuket! It was our son’s first visit to Thailand and our tour with 5 Star Marine was our family’s highlight hands down! After booking, we received communication from the company mimths prior and especially days leading to the tour. Since our time was limited, the company picked us up from the airport straight to the modern boat! One of my first observations was seeing a big bag of emergency/medical bag on the boat! Kudos that this company values safety to their guests! My husband, adult son, and I received the best service from Alex and team! There were three staff ensuring that we had the best time! We visited caves, lagoons, floating villages, views of bats during sunset, amazing restaurant, etc on our 8 hour trip! They were able to cater our requests including bringing a standup paddleboard onboard for my husband who loves to SUP! Alex also knew the timeline so we always got to the caves before the big ferries arrived with the other tourists! In addition, they took us to the mangroves where my husband also had the chance to SUP! Cruising around the mangroves and was probably the highlight of the day! Below is a note from my husband who doesn’t normally write reviews: “I just want to add to Riccinni’s note that this was truly a wonderful experience! We were so impressed by the amazing service - we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves and we never felt like we were on a timetable. Thank you for an unforgettable day!!! 🙏👏🤙”

Phang nga Bay with alex - This was our second tour with 5 star marine and was even better than the first. We were lucky to get Alex as our guide again this time. His knowledge of the phang nga Bay area meant we were able to see the caves and the lagoons at the quieter times, most of the time there was only us there. This is a beautiful part of Thailand and would highly recommend anyone to take this trip with 5 star marine. Thank you everyone at 5 star marine for an amazing trip.
