Best company in Phuket - My wife and I ave just returned from a 3 week holiday in Phuket and we always do at least 1 trip with 5 star as they are the best by far. Shaun and his team are always amazing and always give a perfect service with a great trip. This time it was only the two of us on our boat and we went to honeymoon island for snorkelling then off to rhaya island and just relaxed as that’s what we asked for. Our guide this time was June and ad always with 5 star he was amazing. We have now done most trips with 5 star and are now starting the list of tours for the second time. The one thing that really stands out with all the tour guides is how much they all love working for 5 star and everyone we have had over the years always say what a great boss Shaun is. See you in December when we are returning

Great snorkelling trip - A great tour - very well organised and flexible to what you want to do. The water was crystal clear for snorkelling with lots to see. Communication with the company from booking to before the tour was also first class.

Amazing tour in all aspects - Thank you so much to the 5 Star Marine Team! Especially our crew 1. captain- who always was smiley and kept us save and secure! To our 2. great skipper who also was super friendly and helpful and walked up with us to the view point, making sure we were all save and snake free;) And of course Jessica who looked after us in the best ways possible! We always had something to drink and fruits. She always had an open ear for us, looked after us while we went snorkling and made sure there was some shade so we didnt burn in the sun;) and all this with a beautiful smile! The tour itself was greatly organised. We left early enough so we were the only ones at the snorkling places, we saw so many beautiful sea life and amazing healthy corals. A white sand beach so soft that it felt like walking on flour. And even though it is the jelly fish season right now, we went snorkling without seeing one👍 Unfortunately there always is a lot of plastic garbage on the islands, coming in from the sea ( we are all responsible for that) but Jessica and i took some bags and collected 2 big bags in 10 min to take back and be recycled! Of course this was my own decision and it is not mandatory, but i do think it would be nice if we all do our bits to be a bit more responsible in that perspective and i was happy to see that this company cares! My family and i had an amazing day with 5 star marines- thank you so much!!

Great experience with a great guide! - Everything from the tour booking till the final drop off back to the hotel was absolutely smooth and efficient. The entire team was amazing, super helpful and great people all around. Our tour guide Fews was the best part of our day- such a gem! So funny and kind but also very professional. Highly recommend!

Sublime perfect - Family sea trip with our 5 year old granddaughter. Gorgeous ! They are taken care of from start to finish, the private cruise allows you to go at your own pace which is perfect with young children! Second time with 5 star marine and we will come back next year with our eyes closed. Special Thanks to Oak: best guide ever!!!

5 Star Marine world class Snorkling experience - An amazing experience on our Snorkling day, four islands and lunch at Bana Beach Coral Island, 5 Star Marine outstanding safe and professional with taking us to fantastic Raya and Mai islands, Our host Sexy Billy and entire crew very helpful, entertaining and fun all day

Excellent Experience in Thailand! - We booked a trip out to the Similan Islands in Thailand and unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to bad weather conditions. We asked about alternatives and the team was incredible getting us set up for a snorkeling trip out of Phuket to Racha Island (along with a few other stops) and it was incredible! They arranged for our pick up in Khao Lak and the service from the owner, Shaun, to the driver, the guide (Nook was great!) to the boat captain was absolutely top notch. We saw beautiful coral and sea life, had an incredible Thai food lunch on a deserted beach and felt taken care of the whole day. Don't hesitate to book a trip with 5 Star Marine!

Amazing snorkelling and quiet bays in Raya and MainTon - We are a family of 4 from the UK and we booked two trips with 5 star marine. Both were amazing. Our kids are ages 11 and 12 and we decided to book a private tour just for us. Even though it’s quite a lot of money for a private trip, the price for the boat was cheaper than our hotel tours and after much searching on the web 5 star marine looked like the best option, with excellent reviews versus other similar companies. We did get a slight discount booking both tours with the same company. The two trips were Phi Phi/ James Bond combined tour and Raya island and Mai Ton island. It was worth getting away early to beat the crowds. And on arrival the team were ready to give us a quick outline for the day and we were off to Mai Ton and Raya islands. Chris was our tour guide on the boat and was a great guide! Taking us to all the special little spots, avoiding crowds and allowing that special experience to enjoy stunning parts of Thailand. The crew were great, friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us. We had fruit and soft drinks on the boat, Chris took some snaps throughout the day and they are available to download after the tour (free and part of the booking). At the islands we did some snorkelling in stunning reefs, and jumping off the boat in clear emerald green waters. We also asked if we could fish, which was great fun for the kids. We caught about a dozen small fish. The bays we visited were the best and so quiet compared to Phi Phi and James Bond trips. Lunch was unbelievable. We stopped at a floating restaurant which has a Michelin star to its name. We arrived and it looked a little basic. An old wooden floating restaurant that looked a little tired… but then we landed to see lots of little netted pools with fresh fish and shellfish in. If you ordered one of those you could choose it fresh and within minutes it was on your plate. The bill was quite pricy (but we did order the expensive lobster and massive shrimp) and the food was divine !! The best meal we had all holiday… and we’ve had a few nice ones. After lunch we visited some more beaches and did some more snorkelling between islands. Big shout out to Chris and the crew on the day. The admin team at the office were great throughout. Communication was swift and via WhatsApp and / or email. If I had any questions I would receive a reply within minutes. Exceptional! . The transfer was included and was very comfortable in a deluxe minibus. So we didn’t have any hassle finding the marina or getting back to our hotel. I would thoroughly recommend this company and if we are ever back in Phuket I’ll be heading out with this tour company again.

Beautiful Tour, Great Tour Guides - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We went during the rainy season and 5 star was flexible with the day we went on the tour to help us get the best weather possible. We ended up going on a beautiful day that was sunny and mild conditions. We wanted to do something less busy so they recommended this tour as opposed to something like the PhiPhi Islands. We snorkeled in the clearest water we’ve ever been in and then had a snack on a beach with powder soft sand. We had lunch at a nearby island and spent some additional time snorkeling before we headed back. The tour guides were so helpful and accommodating of our needs and what we wanted to do. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Need improvement - The boat is superb. The staff are friendly. Only one concern, they seemed not used to accompany elders in snorkling nor always in alert to assist, in comparison with other services in other countries. It seemes they expected extra charge. We always did give tips for any extra helps though.
