Even though it was raining heavily in the morning, we were lucky it stopped for the rest of the tour. Our guide was very helpful. The tour was great overall

Fantastic day out with Goodie, our host, who was funny, informative, and made for a perfect trip. The lunch buffet was delicious. The islands were beautiful with lots of great fish to swim amongst… the water quality was gross a couple of times with a noticeable amount of plastic. The very professional boat staff hose you off with what is gross disinfectant fluid seemingly to keep us safe from whatever is in there. That said, I’m really glad we went and did it. A well run, tight ship.
We loved our day touring the islands. The smaller group gives you a great chance to emit without a crowd. Thoughtful tour guides, plenty of cold drinks and snacks and a private lunch.
We had such an amazing experience with V Marine Tour for the Phi Phi Islands tour! From the airport pick-up to the drop-off after the tour, everything was organized so smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. A huge shoutout to our tour guide, Sunny! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was so friendly, cheerful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The entire crew was just as amazing, always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. We also added the photography package, and it was 100% worth it! Our photographer was incredibly patient with us since we had no idea how to pose lol He guided us through different poses and made the whole experience fun and effortless. The photos turned out so well! This tour was easily the highlight of our trip to Phuket. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we made so many unforgettable memories. If you’re visiting Phuket and thinking about doing a Phi Phi Islands tour, don’t hesitate to book with V Marine Tour. Hands down the best!
Systematic, organised & does key destinations in reverse so that you end up in Maya Bay late in the day when there is less people. It is a small group up to 20 people but you are on a small-ish speed boat sitting shoulder to shoulder. Plenty of snacks & refreshments, full buffet lunch and plenty of stops on the way. They put new mouth pieces on the snorkels & you get a waterproof pouch for your phone too. The longest part of the trip is beginning & end which is about 1 hour either way which can be rough/bumpy & noisy compared to being on larger vessels so do your homework. There is a choice of day trip or sunrise trip, we took the day trip by mistake as we wanted to do the earlier tour but it ended up being enjoyable even if it was slightly busy. Our tour was in July which is 'wet season' so can't imagine how crowded it would be in peak season. Maya Bay had probably around 200 people or so wandering around so it was enjoyable compared to the scary videos you see online of 000's of people visiting. Taking a speed boat has its benefits given the small group of 20 but the downsides then become little comfort for a full 7 hours of travelling so consider this versus the larger catamarans or ferry options depending on your preferred travel methods or levels of comfort.
It was my first time visiting the islands. Sadly, there were no monkeys so we had more time to snorkel in a reef. Lunch was delicious and the people were fantastic always offering water. There was watermelon and other fruits.
We had a really enjoyable day exploring the Phi Phi Islands. We experienced some bad weather at the beginning, but that's always a possibility with outdoor activities and didn't stop us from having a great time. The scenery throughout the day was absolutely stunning, with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear water. The tour visits some very popular spots, so it can feel quite touristy, but that's understandable given how famous these locations are. The group size was pleasantly small, which made the experience feel more personal. The boat is also relatively small, so the ride can be a bit bumpy at times, especially when the sea is rough. The organisation was excellent and the instructions were always clear, making the whole day stress-free. The staff were friendly and made sure nobody ever went hungry. The lunch was simple and not particularly memorable, but it provided plenty of energy to keep enjoying the activities. We also chose the photo service and were very happy with it. It allowed us to simply enjoy the experience without constantly worrying about taking pictures, and we now have beautiful memories from the trip. Overall, it was a fun and well-organised trip, and we would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket.
Couldn't fault anything ! It was perfect. The tour guide P was so helpful and paid extra attention to my daughter who is 6. The smaller group felt like we could get on board and off board much quicker. Also if you don't like very big crowds the extra price is worth it. The snorkeling was surreal, but I wish we had a little bit longer for this activity. Everything you need is provided on board, the lunch is good and overall a perfect day.
Goodie as the tour guide was fun, informative and kept everyone engaged and organized. The team on the boat were experienced and excellent. Snorkeling, and the scenery throughout the day was exquisite, and something not to be missed. Actually, this was the highlight of our entire trip!
Loved everything about the tour, to the islands, the guides, photographers and the food. The tour guides on our boat were extremely kind and made sure we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend doing this tour when ur in Phuket.
It was a great trip to explore Phi Phi islands. Our tour guide Goodies was very engaging and the time we spent in each location felt like the right time without rushing and enough time to enjoy each location. It was not peak season but we were lucky with the weather not too.
What a beautiful day. We’ve come home windswept and perfectly tired after a fun filled day of sightseeing, swimming and snorkelling. Sexy Goodie and the whole crew made us feel so well cared for. One of the best day tours I’ve done! Thank you so much
It was an amazing tour...we loved every bit of it! The team made sure we were well taken care of throughout. The guides were incredibly thorough, attentive, and organized, which made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. Everything was perfectly timed, with food and refreshments provided right when we needed them. It truly felt like a seamless and enjoyable day for the whole family. Highly recommended!
Did sunrise cruise and overall, 10/10! The staff was exceptional and the experience was one of the best. Very satisfied.
Very bumpy on the speedboat and it took around an hour to get to our first stop. The adults were given motion sickness tablets but unfortunately kids couldn't take them. My eldest boy doesn't usually get sea sick but unfortunately was very sick on the boat. Apart from that, we had a lovely day, special shout out to our tour guide Sea, my youngest son loves her. She took him out with a life jacket on to swim with the fish and was very patient and kind with him, he was so sad when the tour was finished. We had food at the Hilton on Phi Phi and got to swim in their pool for a while. Maya Bay was beautiful, overall a great day was had by all and wonderful memories made.
Even if you arrive at 7am in Maya Bay, it is already full of tourists. P, Yod & the rest of the staff were very helpful. Lunch buffet was also good. Nice beaches and unforgettable experience!
Spend the extra and take the Sunrise tour! It’s well worth it. My husband and I had the most amazing time! The tour is well organized with professional and entertaining guides. I was concerned we would get lost in the crowds but not one time did we feel unsafe or confused and the islands weren’t as crowded as we thought they would be. Sunny and his team were so attentive to us and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was fun and memorable. The snacks and buffet lunch were delicious and above expectations. Book this tour, it’s well organized and a blast!
Had a great day ,excellent crew and well organised tour,good lunch provided with ample non alcoholic drinks throughout the day . Why was an excellent host ,the boat was fast and comfortable.
This is must do when on vacation in Thailand and V Marine is a an excellent choice to use. The day was fantastic from the pickup to the drop off. All the spots we visited were amazing. All the staff was friendly and informative. The food at the lunch spot was decent, my only complaint would be that the food could have been a little bit warmer, but it was still tasty. I would 10 out of 10 recommend!!
Excellent from start to finish. We requested 'Sexy Goodies' as our guide as we were blessed in a previous trip and apparently came in on a day off. The whole team at V Marine were superb as was the entire day. Sunrise was spectacular and the food was lovely. Thanks for helping to make it so memorable
Amazing day! i traveled with my two teenager daughters and their best friend and it was a spectacular day! The boat had about 18 people including us (perfect amount). Goodie was an amazing tour guide, so fun and outgoing !! Made the tour ! We paid for the the photographer “Bao” and he was fantastic as well. well with the money. he followed us around like our own personal photographer, and the pictures came out fantastic. the water and the views were breathtaking! This is a must excursion if u want to see the Phi Phi islands and without Goodie it would not have been the same experience 🌸
s tour was absolutely amazing! From the pick-up at our hotel to the drop-off at the end, everything was so well organised. When we arrived, they talked us through where we’d be stopping throughout the day, which was really helpful. Sea, our guide, along with the rest of the team, was fantastic. They kept us topped up with snacks and drinks throughout the tour and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. The crossing was smooth and every stop was incredible. Highly recommend this tour – it’s honestly the best thing we’ve done and absolutely worth the money!
This was one of, if not THE best tour experience we had in Thailand. We were well cared for from the moment of pick up until drop off. The sunrise was amazing, each stop on the tour in the Phi Phi Islands was magical, and we had ample opportunity to swim and snorkel in the clearest, bluest waters we have ever seen. They offered snacks and water/beverages throughout the day, which was nice, and the lunch buffet was delicious! Sonny was our tour guide, and he was very knowledgeable and kind.
We had a very good experience at the phi phi island day trip. Everything was great from pickup at the hotel, to check in at the marina, the trip itself was great as well. We are glad we paid extra for a smaller boat - we had plenty of space, the crew was very professional and nice. The only negative is that the destination itself is very touristy and crowded. For instance, at Maya Bay, there were probably 15-20 boats arriving at the same time…so we had 45 minutes to go to’The Beach’ to take pictures and get back on the boat. Same thing for Monkey Island…but it’s not something that the tour operators controls. So knowing that, if it’s a trip you want to do, I would recommend it with v marine.
We watched the sunrise on the beach.We beat the crowds at Maya bay. Our guide Sonny was very pleasant and informative. All the locations on this tour were lovely. We were given a very nice lunch at a beachfront hotel. Our favorite stop was bamboo island. We wish we could have spent the whole day there. I w Highly recommend this tour
Amazing experience. Super well organised. Our guide 'goodies' was hilarious. The lunch was super yummy. And I would 100% recommend this to anyone. Early start but well worth it. Go for it
We had the best day. Everything was perfectly timed, and the guides were fantastic. It was absolutely worth it for the 4.45am pick-up. We were leaving islands as lots of boats were arriving, so we pretty much beat the crowds. We were given plenty to eat and drink throughout the day, and lunch was brilliant. We would recommend this trip without hesitation.
This was the best tour during our time in Thailand! Sunny was our tour guide and he was excellent. I usually have problems with motion sickness, but I did not have any problems on this tour. They provided motion sickness was pills at the beginning, along with coffee, water and snacks. We traveled first to a small island close by for breakfast and the most amazing sunrise. We arrived early to Maya Bay to beat the crowds and get some amazing photos of this protected bay. We had two awesome opportunities for snorkeling and an additional chance to jump off the boat and swim in a beautiful cove surrounded by the towering limestone cliffs. So beautiful! We saw the most beautiful sea life, with fish everywhere, and even some small sharks (that were harmless). The lunch spread was amazing, at another beautiful location. We also saw the famed Monkey Beach and Vikings Cave. The final stop to Bamboo Beach was my favorite, with the best snorkeling and one of the most beautiful beaches and clear azure waters I have ever seen. Just perfect.
Sunny & Crew were fantastic (friendly, helpful, knowledgeable & professional)- Patong hotel pick up & drop off , sunrise breakfast on the beach, then the timeless Maya Bay before the crowds which is why I booked (good time on beach, plenty photos different points & no queue back off) , 2 lots of snorkelling (boat & beach - lots of beautiful fish ) which was great . Bamboo island a highlight for most - the clear waters & beaches , saw monkeys & had a superb chilled resort lunch on koh phi phi don which was a quality. Just a priceless experience for me & very greatful to the team who exceeded my expectations! Speed boat had around 20, 2 x 250 engines, lifejackets & 4 crew with another running same time. Always felt safe & in good hands.
Tour was great but I’m not sure the “exclusive” and “small group” labels are appropriate here. Additionally, paying a premium for this tour and then being charged extra for the photographer is frustrating, especially when he was sitting around idly for a lot of the day
We loved this small group experience. No crowds and no waiting in lines. We will be recommending this tour.
Goodie was an amazing, knowledgeable, efficient and attentive tour guide. We had a wonderful day and the photo opportunities were many. I would highly recommend this tour!
The most special day. After a winding trip on a minibus to get to a secluded beach, we jumped in our kayaks and explored the stunning coastlines and caves, with little breaks built in. Definitely intermediate level as it is several hours of rowing, but so worth it for this lovely adventure.
Fabulous well worth getting up early to try and miss the crowds although it was still getting busy, the boat staff and pick up guys were amazing the food was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip beautiful beaches especially bamboo beach, the trip was so well organised well done guys
If you want an excursion where you are treated like royalty but also laugh until your stomach hurts, look no further! Our trip to Phi Phi Island, Monkey Beach, and Bamboo Island was absolutely flawless. The Organization: Everything was perfectly timed. The boat was spotless, the crew was incredibly helpful, and the constant supply of fresh, ice-cold fruit throughout the day was a total lifesaver in the Thai heat! The Legend: Goodies! ✨ The highlight of the trip was, without a doubt, our guide, Goodies. He isn’t just a guide; he’s an absolute vibe! Right from the morning briefing, he declared us "The Sexy Group" on "The Sexy Boat." For the rest of the day, we forgot our real names—we were all just "Sexy [Name]" to each other. We haven't laughed that much in a long time! Beyond the humor, Goodies is a pro: • The Ultimate Preview: He showed us photos and videos of every destination before we arrived, so we knew exactly what to expect (and where to get the best shots!). • Top-Tier Care: He made sure everyone understood the plan and, most importantly, that everyone was safely back on the boat on time. • The Crew: A huge shoutout to the entire boat staff who were so attentive and kind throughout the entire journey. Thank you, Goodies, for making us feel like the best-looking (and sexiest!) group in the Andaman Sea. If you’re booking a trip, ask for Goodies—you won’t regret it! Stay sexy, Goodies! We’ll miss you! 🥥🍍🐒
This was a wonderful tour. It leaves early so breakfast and sunrise on first island. Sonny was a great leader concerned for everyone,able to get to all the stops. Beautiful lunch and back to the marina by 2pm and back to resort by 3pm. Ride is a bit rough but we'll worth it
It's a definite must do,best day of the holiday food was delicious staff were amazing all good thanks
Would not book this tour if you’re traveling with elderly or little ones. The boat ride to the islands was kind of scary, at on point i felt like my head was going to fall off my shoulders. However, the views and the overall experience made the trip worthwhile! The crew, snorkeling, and lunch were all a 10/10! Ride back was significantly more manageable as the waves had gone down, i even took a little nap.
Absolutely worth going early!!! Crowds less, crew great! Lunch at resort wonderful! Great day for everyone!
Excellent trip! Well Organised, immaculate and well Maintained boat. Sunny was the perfect guide, captain banana and his crew where all great. Fantastic snorkelling, memories for life! Thank you 🙏
It was the best decision to join this sunrise tour! We had plenty of time and space. Breakfast was amazing. Our guide Goodie was even better! We didn’t see the monkeys but all okay with that. Overall, I would recommend to this to anyone.
Excellent experience. Sunny our guide was amazing!! The crew was very professional and organized and lighthearted. They gave clear explanations about everything along the way and were always offering a helping hand (literally on and off the boat at every stop). This trip was so amazing the water was so clear and the sand so soft and white. It was so beautiful. The pick up was on time in a nice clean van. There were only a couple of other people in the van. We then went straight to the marina where there was water and coffee/tea. They gave everyone a waterproof phone necklace and gave a clear orientation in English. We then set out for our first island 20 minutes away where we watched the sunrise and had breakfast. Next we went 40 minutes to Maya Bay and beat the large crowds. It was beautiful. We then went for a swimming spot near some tall cliffs (lagoon) with an option to jump off the boat. We did a pass by of Viking cave and then moved onto Monkey beach where we saw a bunch of hungry monkeys. After monkey beach we went snorkeling (they gave us a new mouthpiece) where we saw some amazingly colored fish and then went to the next island for lunch. We had ample time to sit and eat and walk around. After lunch we went to bamboo island. Where there was an option to snorkel again, but we just relaxed in the beautiful surf. Overall this trip was 10/10 and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. Just a heads up if you haven’t been on a speed boat before on the open water, it does get bumpy.
Its a beautiful island hopping activity.very beautifuly created and aomi executes it to the best.a must with aomi and team.very beautiful activity
Great day on and in the water- visiting the phi phi islands. Pick up and drop off at our hotel. Easy! Very organized once we arrived at the Marina. Coffee, light snacks. Our guide - Sexy Goodies - was fun, very clear at pick up times and directions during the day. The staff in the boat - captain, crew were amazing. Water, snacks, scuba equipment , helping us on and off the boat, rinsing off salt water when done swimming. Amazing snorkeling - a lot of beautiful fish and coral. Maya beach is beautiful- but a bit of a tourist trap - not there very long. Lunch on the island was a great buffet- included . Great day - book it- you won’t regret it.
We had a great time! Our tour guide Ray and the rest of the crew took good care of us. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Would definitely recommend and use their services again!
The hubs and I had the best time doing the sunrise breakfast in the Phi Phi Islands with tours of the other islands as well. Yes, it was an early pickup (05:00) from the hotel to do the sunrise, but so worth it! We got to a closer island where we could have a continental breakfast and watch the sunrise. Then, we got on the speedboat and went to a few of the Phi Phi Islands. We swam in a lagoon and snorkeled at another beach where we saw a plethora of gorgeous fish and also a barracuda, sea snake, and seahorses. If you want to experience the Phi Phi Islands, do this tour!!

Amazing Experience. Our guide P was amazing. Very informative and taking pictures of us. Water was handed out constantly which helped in the heat. We stopped at each destination the right amount of time. We got to see everything as specified. Probably the best boat tour I have done. Not drawn out like others I have been on. The buffet was yummy and the whole crew we great fun.
Best tour I have ever done. Well organised - Ray and the boat 88 team were great! The scenery was beautiful and the food was nice and halal.
Overall, a fun and memorable day for our family (two teenage daughters, my wife and i). The staff were very friendly and helpful (lead team member was P), a busy agenda with multiple stops but stunning scenery, & crystal clear water for snorkeling and swimming. The catered lunch at resort was OK (but shared with approx 2 other boats?), snacks, water melon, and plenty of drinks offered during tour. Would recommend to others.
