Guide was warm, polite and very knowledgeable. As well as his young man colleague, setting everything up ahead of time for us. We were lucky. A group of 3 customers. Got personal attention. Lots of great food, and places only seasoned locals know about. The length is the tour is perfect. Lot’s of food.

A lovely day at the top of Thailand. Our guide Poon was knowledgeable and friendly, chatting freely about cultural and natural sights as well as more personal topics like recent changes in the Thai royal family, or the lives of Karen peoples (hill tribes) in modern Thailand. The short, beautiful trek past several dramatic waterfalls was the highlight of the day, and Poon was proactive in taking our photos and slo-motion videos at every stop. The summit of Doi Inthanon (highest point in Thailand) is not so impressive since it's amid a thick jungle. But culturally significant. The twin pagodas dedicated to King Rama IX and his wife are a better lookout point, although visibility in September can be poor.

Amazing food tour! Excellent value for money! Great guides.

Sasa is an incredible guide! She’s funny, knowledgeable, approachable, and makes sure you get tons of photos throughout the tour. We weren’t sure how we felt about Bangkok after a lackluster tour the evening before, but as soon as we hopped in the tuk tuk with Sasa it all turned around. The tuk tuk ride is also a blast! It’s a must-do in Bangkok, and this is probably the safest way to do it and avoid scams. We cannot recommend this tour enough. Great food, great company, great sightseeing.

Second Private Tour & Absolutely Flawless Again! 🥂✨ ​After an incredible first trip, we booked our second private "Captain’s Choice" tour with 5 Star Marine, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations! ​Having our favorite crew back made it even more special. They took the four of us to the most idyllic, hidden spots away from the crowds. We spent the day snorkeling in crystal-clear water, having fun on the paddleboard, and sipping Prosecco right in the sea! Lunch at a breathtaking location made the day complete. Everything was organized to perfection from start to finish. Huge thanks to the amazing crew for making our time in Phuket truly unforgettable. If you are in Phuket, do not hesitate—book with 5 Star Marine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very interesting and unique tour. Visit places that u cannot google, but see the traditional life of Thai people. Visiting flower market was a unique experience Had tour with Tony … very knowledgable guide

Wonderful private tour! My guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day easy and enjoyable. He explained each stop really well, gave me plenty of time to explore, and was a great driver throughout the day.

A beautiful trip and definitely worth visiting. We chose the catamaran option and really enjoyed the whole tour.The scenery around Phi Phi Islands and Maya Bay is absolutely stunning. Everything went smoothly, and we had a great day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Phuket:)

My wife and I came to Phuket for our honeymoon from the USA and choose to do a private boat rental with scuba diving in the Phi Phi islandsThey picked us up at our hotel right on time in a spacious van - and brought us to the dock. The staff and team on board were great and helped create a great day based on conditions out including 4 sight seeing spots, lunch, a swimming lagoon and 2 dive sights.The diving was super fun - we did 2 seperate 40 minute dives and saw tons of wildlife/ reefs.Great experience all around - professional - fun - and so beautiful 100% recommend.

We had an amazing day exploring the Phi Phi Islands. Everything was well organized from hotel (Selina Serenity) pickup to the speedboatboat trip, and the crew were friendly and helpful throughout the day. The scenery was incredible, especially Pileh Lagoon, and we had plenty of opportunities to swim, snorkel and take photos. The water was beautiful and the lunch was good too. It’s a full day trip that is definitely worth it if you’re visiting Phuket.

We booked a private boat tour with 5 Star Marine for the four of us, and it completely exceeded all our expectations! ​From start to finish, everything was organized to perfection. The taxi transfer was seamless and right on time. Onboard, the crew took such good care of us — they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the entire day. ​Even though we traveled during the rainy season, we were blessed with a glorious, warm, and sunny day on the water. We visited so many breathtaking places, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and made memories that will last a lifetime. ​If you are visiting Phuket, do not hesitate to book with 5 Star Marine. A massive thank you to the entire crew for making this day so incredibly special for us and our friends. 10/10 recommendation!
