Appreciate the scenery as you make your way to your first snorkeling spot at Koh Miang, Island No. 4. With clear waters, healthy coral, and plentiful fish, this island is perfect for the beginner and experienced snorkeler. Depart for Koh Payu, the Island No. 7, which is ideal for snorkeling at the East of Eden with a reef slope that ranges from 5 to 40 meters. Then make your way to the waters of Christmas Point at Koh Bangu, the Island No. 9, for one more snorkeling opportunity with massive coral heads in The Mooring, and Snapper Alley for Asian snapper living among the giant rocks. The last stop is at the tranquil waters of Donald Duck Bay on Koh Similan, Island No. 8. Here you can relax on the beach or hike to the island's viewpoint at Sailing Rock before heading back to the pier where a light snack with fresh fruits and drinks is awaiting you.
Relax on the Sandy Beach of Koh Rang Yai while enjoying some fresh fruit and cool refreshments. Watch the sunset if you like and then take a short cruise back to the pier.

It was super nice!! We loved it!
This was our first trip with 5 star marine and it was amazing! The staff are so wonderful, super caring and want to make you make the most of your trip, including taking photos for you, making sure you’re topped up with water and advising on what’s best to do to make the most of your day. This trip was special, it takes 2 hours from Phuket but it’s so worth it. Absolutely stunning and we got to swim with turtles and spot clown fish! My daughter absolutely loved it. We enjoyed it so much, we booked again for a couple of days later to go to PhiPhi which I have done another positive review on too! Thank you again, you’re all amazing!
It was a perfectly trip. Our guid made sure that we got the best out of the trip. Similan island was amazing and way beyond our expectations. The water current was little bit harsh during snorkelling but Kris came along with us made sure of the safety.
We had a great time on our Similan Island tour with 5 Star Marine! They were super responsive and easy to communicate with leading up to our tour. Our tour guide Beer was super friendly and made the day fun and easy, same with the rest of the crew. The Islands were gorgeous and definitely worth the drive out. Would definitely recommend!
This is our second trip with 5 Star Marine and I highly recommend them. From the booking, planning, to the day of the trip the company shows professionalism. and are highly organized. They keep you informed from the beginning of everything you need. Both times that we have to used them they have been on time and everything happened as scheduled. The team is very nice and very professional. Not to mention that the destination, Similan Islands in this case, is breathtakingly beautiful! I would not do any other tour that is not with 5 Star Marine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great company! Made the whole process very easy with constant communication leading up to the excursion. Day of picked up promptly and taken to the boat. Greeted and off we went. The crew made sure there was absolutely nothing that we needed throughout the entire day. Snorkeled with lots of fish and turtles and had a great picnic lunch on one of the islands. I would recommend this trip to anyone and consider this company the gold standard of customer service and care!
What an unbelievable experience. The Similan Islands were absolutely incredible. The guides were great, they were happy to help with all of our requests. It was worth the money getting a private boat, we didn't have to cram in with a bunch of people and we went wherever we chose to. The reason for the 4 stars is because you'd think that for 50,000 baht they would give you a decent lunch, especially since they overpriced it and it is not included, so you have to pay extra. What they gave us looked like they threw something together in a few minutes just to say they fed us. We have gone on several tours that were not private and way less expensive, yet the food and service were much better, so we were definitely extremely disappointed!
We had the best time! Nook, our guide was very attentive and friendly along with Mr Kim, our captain and Woody and Chocolate (nickname)! We were able to see the turtles up close and personal thanks to strategic mooring. We were away from crowds and the turtles came to us. Hiking was great with Nook. We saw everything they promised and the ride there and back was great! Highly recommend and asked for Nook and the crew. 💕😁
Our third private tour with 5 Star and the best yet. Previously we had gone with friends on the Phi Phi tours but this time we opted for Similan for a couples treat. It's a bit more expensive given the extra distance (about 5 hours of travel in total but the journey itself is a huge part of the experience - just relax with a beer and soak in the views) but well worth it. We swam with friendly sea turtles, abundant fish in the super clear waters, and even a giant moray eel. We also watched flying fish escape the boat's path by taking to the air as we raced over the ocean. Amazing day out. The boat even picked us up and dropped us off at the pier nearest our hotel so the transfers were only a few minutes! The crew were great with guide Beer (strong name, liked him immediately), Captain Nimi, Mr Bobby and Mr Leung providing fine service. 5 Star provided beers and Thai food for the day as there is no catering available in Similan. Another wonderful tour and highly recommended. Thank you Shaun and Team.
A huge thank you for the wonderful day. The team was amazing, peaceful and dedicated. She stayed with us during our snorkelling,helped with our mask, direction. I highly recommended this team super friendly, thoughtful and positive vibe
This trip was the highlight of my family’s year, and the year has just started 😂 Our trip was a private tour to the Similan Islands. The place is simply heaven on earth. White sandy beaches, crystal blue waters and an opportunity to swim amongst turtles. Thank you to Kris, Mimi and Kope for your warm hospitality, kindness and overall good vibes. You made our experience memorable and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Definitely recommend 5 Star Marine to anyone who wants to see the best of Phuket. They are active communicators from the time of booking, very accomodating for any requests and they go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. If possible, I urge you all to book the private tour, you won’t be disappointed.
We had one of the best experiences on this tour, I couldn't have asked for a better team as well. They were so amazing, kind, helpful, and friendly 😊 I would definitely recommend this to others, and would definitely do it again whenever I'm able to return to Phuket👍🏻 Thank you all so very much for such a magical experience 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️ Just WOW, we are very grateful 🙏🏻
We had the best time on our tour, not only did we get to swim with sea turtles, lots of colourful fish and coral, Ning and the crew were so kind and friendly. We loved that we were able to customise the tour to maximise snorkelling and the picnic lunch was lovely. Thank you so much, next time we’re in Phuket we’ll definitely be back
What a wonderful trip we had to the Similans! Khun Chris and the 5 Star crew were so knowledgeable and were wonderful guides! We had an incredible day out and everything was expertly and seamlessly orchestrated by 5 Star from the pick up to the drop off- excellent picnic and unforgettable day. Super attention to all the details- thank you so much! We live here in Phuket and have always had wonderful trips with 5 Star, but this was our 1st time to the Similans! Perfect!
This was a last minute booking and I really wanted to see the island without so many people on the boat. The team at 5 Star Marina made this happen :) all at 6pm the night before. The team were professional, attentive and always thinking a step ahead which made the trip even more perfect. They understood my style of travelling and nothing was ever an issue. Thanks again team for an AMAZING trip :)
The private tour to Similan was wonderful. The crew were attentive and flexible to fit the trip to our preferences, so that we made the most of our day. We really wanted to spent as much time as possible snorkeling, so they found us the best and least crowded spots throughout the day to get in the water and explore. They helped us find interesting sea life to spot with a highlight of swimming beside sea turtles. Two of us had been to Similan before and never seen the turtles, so this was a special trip. It was a wonderful day and we will definitely be using 5 Star Marine again next time we come to Phuket.
Our family enjoyed an unforgettable private charter to Similan Islands with 5 Star Marine. From the time of booking through to hotel pickup and drop off, the service was five star. Jun and his amazing crew went over above and beyond to make sure our day was amazing. Highlights included snorkeling off the boat with a mature green sea turtle and of course the breathtaking Similan Islands. I highly recommend 5 Star marine to family, friends and anyone in search of a unique experience.
I am sooo glad we went with 5 Star Marine. The entire package was FANTASTIC. Communication from the start was prompt, easy and great. They were very clear that it could be bumpy when we booked our tour and suggested alternative options if we were not keen on the long ride. I took my 3 children, ages 10, 15 and 18 to the Similan Islands. Our guide, K Nook was lovely and the 3 additional crew, K.Max, William and one more lovey man were friendly, helpful and easy going. We blasted our tunes on the long but fun journey there. We snorkeled, hiked up to Sail rock, visited another island where we ate lunch, swam and snorkeled more. 5 Star Marine has good quality snorkeling equipment and K. Nook took many pictures of our family in action under water and shared them all. They had a cooler on board where you can store additional food and snacks if needed. The boat was great! It was expensive day out however we enjoyed EVERY moment and I have already recommended 5 Star Marine to a friend who has family visiting soon. I HIGHLY recommend this company and will defiantly book them again for future trips.
We booked a private tour to the Similon islands for our family of six, and it was fantastic. In fact we enjoyed it so much, we booked another private tour the next day for the Phi Phi islands. P, out tour guide for the Similons was great, as was Ning our guide for Phi Phi. I can’t remember our captain’s name, but we had the same captain for both trips and he was fantastic at guiding the boat through the sometimes choppy conditions smoothly. The picnic lunch was good, and they were able to help us see the most popular spots without the swarms of tourists from the larger tour groups. We did take a tour with one of the larger groups to the Surin islands prior to our trips with 5-Star marine, and it was a night and day difference. The large group was a nightmare. For any future trips to Phuket, we will only do tours through 5-Star Marine. Also, booking through 5-Star directly for our second tour with them was much cheaper, so I suggest you contact them directly.
Absolutely the best tour we did this holiday. We were a family group of 6 adults and had already done the Phi Phi tour with this company so knew the experience would be great. However this day even surpassed that. The islands are incredible to see, we climbed to the top of one and the views were amazing. The sea is crystal clear we have never seen so many fish while snorkelling in the bays and we swam with the turtles. One of the crew swam with us and took us to the best places to see the fish pointing them out to us all the time. So helpful and friendly they could not do more to improve our day. Nothing was too much trouble.
Similan Islands is a paradise in the middle of nowhere! It is a definitely must go place and 5 Star Marine is the company have to choose! They are AMAZING!!! I don't think nobody in the island can beat their services and pricing. From the first contact until the day of our experience, we simple got the best customer experience EVER! The guide, the captain and the entire crew on board was top notch. I can't say enough about them.
Our third trip with 5 Star Marine & absolutely great time for the 3rd time. Great boats, wonderful crew, friendly guide, interesting itinerary, and a picnic lunch deserving a Michelin star. Thank you all. I can't wait to go for more trips with you!
Yet again, 5 Star Marine earns 5 stars. Boat super clean. Crew super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful — they truly want guests to RELAX and enjoy the day. Great communication with Shaun pre- and post-charter, including multiple conversations about which day would be the smoothest ride (least wind). Crew provided many fun photos to remember the day. They are, for sure, our go-to charter company.
