Small Group Phi Phi Islands Sunrise Tour With Seaview Lunch

We had such a great experience! Money well spent, and I’ll tell you why. First off I selected the option that they pick us up at the hotel. They were punctual! The tour company was organized. Btw, incase you forget your pills for sea sickness they also provide those complimentary. We got on the boat with the young lady “Sea”, and her crew. They did such an amazing job from start to finish. I felt like safety was there number the priority, and Sea explained step by step what are day would entail. The places we went were AMAZING! If you can do this tour especially to avoid all the crowds. We arrived early to Maya Beach but there was still good about of people when we showed up. I can see how it would a disaster at peak hours. Anyhow, the lunch buffet was good. I passed at snorkeling at one of the points until one of the boat hands took me out by the hand to snorkel. I’m not a great swimmer, so this was very reassuring for me. Wow! What a beautiful experience being able to go that far out and see so many different fish, seahorses, and clams. THANK YOU, to SEA and CREW we had a WONDERFUL DAY!

The whole journey was full of awe. It was simply fantastic. Pick up on time. They explained to us our itinerary very well. The small group was nice. We had lots of beautiful captured moments in each island. The whole boat crew was very professional. Each staff made us feel comfortable and safe. Food served to us was excellent. Cannot complain. Money spent on this tour was definitely worth it. The snorkelling experience was magical. This trip is much much better than going with a big group of more than 15 persons. We even had great pictures captured by the tour photographer. This is a must to complete holidays in thailand.

pick up to drop off everything was excellent well organised and food fantastic crew vegetarian options were there

We had an amazing experience on this tour and were extremely satisfied with everything. The organization was excellent from start to finish, and the crew truly made the difference — they were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the whole trip. The islands were absolutely stunning and seeing the sunrise from one of them made the experience even more special. Everything was well planned and smooth, so we could just relax and enjoy the beauty around us. The food was very good, and we really appreciated the constant availability of cold water and fresh fruit, which was perfect, especially in the heat. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket. We even had a little adventure in the end, so we will never forget the experience. A big thank you to the fantastic crew for making it such a memorable day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **MUST-DO EXPERIENCE!** The early morning small-group speedboat tour is an absolute winner — avoiding the crowds made all the difference. Sunny was a fantastic tour guide: professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. We genuinely loved him and the whole crew. The Phi Phi Islands are *breathtakingly* beautiful — photos don’t do them justice. We snorkelled and swam at multiple spots, each one stunning in its own way. The seaview lunch was delicious, with authentic Thai food that really hit the spot. We also opted for the personal photographer, and it was 100% worth it — amazing family photos we’ll treasure forever. The boat was modern, spotless, and very comfortable, with plenty of refreshments and fresh fruit throughout the day. Our family of four absolutely loved every minute. Honestly, we can’t fault a single thing. **Book it — you won’t regret it!** 🌊🐠✨

We had a great day on this trip visiting many islands and snorkelling. Goodie was a great host and was very informative. We visited and island to watch the sunrise and then went to Maya Bay which was quiet as it was early we then went snorkelling and We stopped off for lunch at phi phi Don. The only thing I would say is the speed boat is not for the faint hearted and get get quite bumpy in windy weather

Great tour- goodies, our guide, was fantastic. We never ran into a crowd. We saw all the crammed boats arriving as we left each island. There were so many snacks. Great day, we are so happy we picked this one.

Highly recommend this experience. The organisers are such a lovely team, miss Aomi and all the boys involved, they are true professionals. The schedule is very well structured, you get to see all the top attractions, do some snorkeling, swimming, enjoying the lunch in a beautiful place, capture everything you must do untill just 2pm o’clock. You will feel like it s the best decision to start your day early with these wonderful people that guide you through pieces of paradise

This trip was a brilliant way to see Phi Phi Island and Maya Bay. The sunrise breakfast was such a highlight. Our guide Goodies was fantastic, funny and so accommodating.

Our family of eight enjoyed a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Ray and the crew from 999 were superb, always one step ahead of the game. Unfortunately, I had been suffering sickness and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Rather than opting for a larger trip with 50-100 people chose these guys instead worth every penny. Thank you for a most enjoyable day.

Has to be the best boat trip we’ve ever been on. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel, through to the end, we were looked after! Everything was seemless; an early start of 5am pick up, but we were at our first stop at 6.25 for our sunrise breakfast. We got to Maya Bay just after 7.30am, before the crowds descended, which was such a positive experience for us. A few other stops along the way and a lovely buffet lunch at a sea view hotel. My daughter and I were eating vegetarian and the tour guide made sure we were informed what we could or couldn’t eat. We were offered fruits and soft drinks through out our trip and our tour guide Goodie and crew were a credit to V.Marine. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thank you!

This was an Amazing day!!! The Sunrise tour via speed boat was so much Fun!! Love the Snorkeling. The Staff was the Best they took great care of us all Day long, Our Tour Guide spoke English and gave great commentary throughout our trip plus they feed you sunrise breakfast on the beach, lovely lunch at beachfront resort I highly recommend it ❤️❤️❤️❤️ totally Worth it

Sunny was remarkable intelligent and knowledgeable guide. He displayed patience with late patrons onto baht. Remained courteous and displayed a vast wealth of knowledge about the Phi Phi Islands voyage and locations. He should be nominated as employee of year I won't forget the miraculous adventure snorkling at Kai Phi Phi and Bamboo islands. We were able to see the Monkeys because of Sunny and Capitans resolve to experience us. The crew were hospitable and generous with local fruits and water and soft drink. Thank u V Marine tours Sunny Karp

Sunny and his crew were no less than SUPERB!! Don’t know the names of the boat driver and the guy that was at the back, but Sunny and Pom (great sense of humour!) were absolutely wonderful. It seemed the crew couldn’t do enough for us! We never went thirsty nor hungry and the fruit they served on the boat was especially delicious! The food they prepared for breakfast was really delicious, too! It was a fantastic tour and Sunny and his crew went beyond the call of duty to make it that way! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR‼️ (Pick up & drop off went smoothly. Picked up 4:45 am. Returned to hotel on west coast at 3:15.)

Review of V Marine Tours: Small Group Sunrise Phi Phi Island Tour Pros: 1. Food: The meals provided were satisfactory and added to the overall experience. 2. Clear Instructions: The tour operators gave clear instructions regarding the itinerary and activities. 3. Timely Pick-Up: The hotel pick-up and drop-off were punctual, ensuring smooth transportation. 4. Missing the Crowds: Starting early helped avoid the usual tourist crowds, making it a relatively peaceful experience. 5. Small Group: The limited number of participants made the tour feel less chaotic. Cons: 1. Lack of Personal Touch: The tour lacked a personalized approach, making it feel impersonal and rushed. 2. No Support for Kids and First-Time Snorkelers: No special attention or assistance was provided for children or beginners during snorkeling. 3. No Float or tire given to hold while snorkelling, a noodle doesn’t suffice. 4. No Guide Assistance in Water: No guides were present in the water to assist or ensure safety during snorkeling. Very generic presence. They were laughing at us when we were struggling. 5. Rude Behavior: The staff was reportedly rude and dismissive, making the experience unpleasant at times. 6. Rushed Tour: The tour felt hurried, ending 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. 7. Short Changing Time: Only 10 minutes were allocated for changing at the marina, with the staff rushing participants to leave. 8. Average Photography Service: The quality of photography provided during the tour was underwhelming. 9. Not Worth the Money: Considering the overall experience the tour did not justify the cost. We might try Simba tours next time.

Ibi and his entire crew were absolutely fantastic! The tour was amazing and we would highly recommend this adventure!

I had such an amazing team. They were on top of things, constantly checking on us, feeding us and making sure we were comfortable. Also I’m very happy that we went so early because there was a crowd already by the time we went to phi phi so I can’t imagine how busy it would have been if we had left later.

This Trip was arguably the best trip I have ever been on , Sunni our guide was amazing helpful and knowledgeable, the team who worked with him couldn’t do enough for us , from handing out unlimited drinks & snacks all day to helping us on and off , taking pictures, cleaning up after us , just absolutely 100% 5 star service from start to finish , we didn’t feel rushed we didn’t have to it was a very well organised and timed trip , breakfast was sunrise and simple on an empty beach just beautiful the attention to detail was spot on , I sat in a chair where I wouldn’t have got the best view of the sunrise and the young lad quickly moved me gathering all my belongings so I didn’t miss the event Lunch was served on the beach in a hotel and it was really good , just wonderful from start to finishing, plenty of snorkelling opportunities, beach time , breath taking views worth every penny .

This was an interesting experience to the islands with undoubtedly absolutely beautiful views as expected for this Sunrise Phi Phi Islands tour. Pickup was great, food options were plenty, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming from the beginning to the end! I paid extra for the photographer portion as I was traveling solo. Upon reaching Maya Bay we exited and were told we had a certain amount of time to go to the beach and take in all the views. While Maya Bay was breathtaking waters I do believe its overrated as you cannot get into the waters really or enjoy the beach. Its solo for looking and taking pictures that's it. Afterwards, the next stop was to do some swimming. At this point the guide suggested that if anyone wanted to do the long boat then we could, but it was $3500 baht. I thought this would be fun opted for this option as I had seen the pictures online before and knew I could swim at other stops if I wanted. I asked the guide who would be taking my pictures and he said a photographer would, I asked TWICE to be sure. However, I was switched over to a long tail boat with only a driver for the boat and man who did not know how to take pictures at all. Let me be clear this was not his fault by no means, but the guide who told me someone would be available to take pictures of me as being included. Otherwise I would have just stayed with the group. It was basically suggested that I take my own pictures and I was extremely upset, b/c why would I, a solo traveler pay basically $100 USD to take selfies on a boat when the whole point is capturing the entire view? Upon my return, my guide asked if I was "happy" and I said no, expressed my extreme dissatisfaction given the money I had just spent for nothing. The guide about 20 mins later, after asking for proof of the pictures, decided to give my money back in full to appease me as a customer which was appreciated. I know these ppl work hard and want to provide the best service, give us this experience so this was very much appreciated, and I thought was the right thing to do. However, this left a sour taste in my mouth about this experience as well as the guide pressuring me to "be happy" the rest of the day. Let me absorb the experience as I want. Lunch was good, Bamboo Island was crowded and the group got plenty of opportunity to snorkel with help staff and excellent views. Also if you have another person with you to take your photos, the picture package option is not worth it. If you only have one day to enjoy the island part of Phuket & the Phi Phi islands are on your list then by all means sign up for this sunrise early day tour! If you have 2-3 days to spare and some extra money, my suggestion is to take a day or two to enjoy certain islands by itself and or beaches in Phuket with out rushing through it because you don't have much time to "enjoy it" with his tour.

From the punctual pick up to the transfer back we were treated with courtesy and respect. The check in and information was efficient and we were soon on our way to the first island to watch the sunrise whilst enjoying a simple breakfast the crew prepared for us. We were shuttled to each destination ahead of the crowds thanks to Mr Alan and his crew, Captain Banana, Ollie and Jonas. The passion Mr Alan has for his boats and giving his guests a wonderful experience is exemplary. The lunch and venue will be something we shall remember always and the snorkelling was incredible. This is the tour to be on!

Don't let rainy weather deter you from taking this excursion. It does not get cold. Pack an extra towell and enjoy the ride on the speedboat and world class snorkeling.

I can't say enough about the wonderful guide and crew on this tour. Sonny took care of us like family and his wonderful personality made this experience so special. Going to 4 islands instead of 5 or 6 was so much better because we were able to spend more time at each. It made it so much more relaxing. The sights were incredible and breathtaking. The meals were very good and plentiful. Everything we needed was provided for a fabulous day experiencing the beautiful islands.

Pick up was punctual, although early🤣 They thought of everything, including nausea tablet and chocolates before departure… Alan and the team were absolutely brilliant! Engaging and extremely courteous . The food was wonderful (and plentiful) and there was no shortage of hydration, water and soft drinks. The trip itself left us all in awe, for a second time. We can all, seven of us, highly recommend the tour!!! And really do consider the photographer option, he was very energetic and did not miss an opportunity to capture a moment, even though he had seven people to capture at various places. He “forces” you to pose and although awkward, the results are great. Highly recommended allround!

The whole crew was amazing. So organized and communication was great. Everyone was so attentive. The only thing I wish I had known was how hot the concrete would be once we got back. We were bare foot and if I had not stepped on someone else’s shoes being taken out of the container, I probably would have received a first degree burn. Not exaggerating.

I absolutely loved this tour! The main guide spoke perfect English and was able to share a host of knowledge about each spot on the tour. Breakfast was simple but tasty. We got to see a fantastic sunrise while on one of the islands. Maya Bay was a highlight for sure! Our guides made an extra effort to get us to each destination before the other tours so we got to enjoy most spots before the crowds. Every stop was absoltuely stunning. I only wish we were allowed to swim at Maya Bay--even with the black tip sharks we saw there. Lunch was delicious as well. I opted to hire the photographer since I was traveling solo and they got some fantastic shots of me along the tour. The entire adventure was breathtaking and I'm so happy I booked the tour! I'd love to come back and bring my husband next time

It was one of our highlights in Thailand. My wife and I enjoyed the speed boat with the visits to the islands and since I am not a swimmer they made it so comfortable for me to get into the water. It was really an inspiring trip through the islands. The crew was very special. They treated us very well and always there for us and the rest of the passengers. We added the photographer and he was always there to take our pictures on land and underwater. I recommend this experience highly to anyone. Thanks for making this an adventure for us.

I picked this tour specifically for the pickup from and drop-off to our hotel and the early start. I know the islands and stops can get busy and crowded, so I thought a sunrise tour would give us a jump ahead. The transportation was very comfortable in nice air-conditioned vans. I guess where we stayed there weren't a lot of people so there were only three of us, including me and my spouse, in the van. I appreciate the communication on what to expect. I was appreciative that they provided sea sickness pills since I forgot to bring mine. The sunrise breakfast was perfect for me (fresh fruit, sticky rice with egg or coconut, croissants, muffins, coffee, and juice. Don't expect a full hot breakfast. If you need that, then you should eat before they pick you up. The seas were calm which made for a comfortable ride between the islands. We went to 3 Islands: Phi Phi Lay (Maya Beach aka The Beach movie with DiCaprio), Phi Phi Don (swimming and monkey Island), and Bamboo Island (swimming and snorkeling). The staff were great and attentive; making sure everyone had what they needed. Saw lots of fish, sharks, monkeys, and jellyfish. We did not go to James Bond beach so that will be on my next trip. We stopped for lunch at a resort island. The food was delicious and I appreciate they ordered me fried rice because of my nut allergy. This tour has been the highlight of my trip thus far!

Wow! Beautiful places, excellent service, good food. I appreciated that the guides were ready to take pictures for us and one even grabbed our hand while snorkeling to lead us to the best spots. Wonderful day!

We loved this tour. We were picked up from our hotel at 04:30 am sharp and arrived to the marina without any traffic where we met our group. P was our guide for the day and he was very informative. The speedboat fast and the captain was amazing, we visited all the islands promised. Snorkeling was the highlight of our day and the crew made sure we were well fed, hydrated and safe the whole time. We definitely recommend it.

It was amazing. The driver, the guide all team was really nice, helpful and friendly. I love each moment of this experience.

It was very well organised and everyone was personally looked after- Sunny was super efficient and helpful- Breakfast and lunch were superb

Great trip. Wonderful crew, all very helpful and happy and informative. Snorkelling was great. All in all a great day

We had an amazing time ! Getting there before the rush is definitely worth waking up early. The crew was very professional and our guide sunny was great. I would recommend this to anyone looking to go to phi phi.

Excellent trip. The tour was professionally organised from the start. Pickup in van means only a few stops before arriving at the marina. Coffee, water and snacks while checkin completed and off to the boat. The boat was very well maintained and the staff were excellent with perfect English. Off quickly to sunrise spot at Khai Nai beach with more coffee and small breakfast provided. Sunrise was obscured with clouds but atmosphere was decent. Next off to Maya Bay where the team dropped us off at the reserve. They accompanied us to point out reef sharks and take pictures before back on board. Next stop was the lagoon and a swim in the 18m lagoon. Once again the staff were proactive in offering to take pictures and provide noodles or life jackets. At all times drinks or fruit was provided and I felt proactively offered by the staff. Water, Coca-Cola and iced coffee were available. Off to the snorkel spot next and I have to say this was a real surprise. Excellent reef with so much sea life! Almost on a par with some of the best in the world. Provided flippers and goggles were in great condition and brand new moth piece in packaging given. After a quick stop at monkey beach where the staff picked a rocky landing spot. They spent the next 15 minutes clearing the rocks so boarding the boat was more comfortable. Great service. Lunch next at a local resort with swimming pool and good facilities. Buffet lunch was excellent with good variety and quantity. Juice and water included with other drinks available for purchase. Final stop at bamboo island for swimming and r&r. The team managed to dodge some rain by being proactive and flexible in managing the itinerary. The ling crossing back to Phuket was challenging. The weather had changed and large 1.5m swells came in. The team were exemplary, making sure everyone was comfortable as possible and felt safe. Their calm professionalism made everyone feel safe. Those that got seasick were well looked after and the captain did as best he could. Back in Phuket royal Marina and swiftly transferred to shuttle back to resort

I had a great time on this tour! The staff were amazing and made sure to take care of everyone within our group. We didn’t have to worry about long lines or wait times. The breakfast and lunch buffet was delicious. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to enjoy Phi Phi Island

Contacted prior to trip with pick up details, very professional and a small group excursion which was massively advantageous as some of the other groups were just too busy. Well worth the early pick up and absolutely loved all of the stops we made. The team who looked after us were fabulous. Very knowledgeable, warm and engaging. The breakfast and lunch was good and there was plenty of it with a steady stream of soft drinks and snacks provided throughout the day. Definitely recommend this excursion with this team.

Unforgettable experience from start to finish. Highly efficent & smooth, with the friendliest team. V.Marine Tour are an exceptional company, that I would recommend to anyone.

Unforgettable experience from start to finish. I would recommend V.Marine Tour to everyone. Our tour was smooth and efficent from pick-up to drop-off and the team are extremely friendly and accomodating, especially our guide Ray. 10/10

What a nice suprice! Well organized tour to Phi Phi Island, Bamboo Island etc from Phuket Thailand. Professional team from start to finish! Every happening was organized smoothly and efficiently. An amazing day visiting Paradise Island. Since this was a sunrise tour, we did not experience any large crowds or ques. A super photographer on board, taking pictures , you can pay for picture package before departure and that way no need to think of your camera. Make sure you bring sunscreen lotion and apply frequently. We we taken so good care of and would highly recommend this tour if you prefer non crowds and all Hazel that comes with it! Thanks for a day visiting Paradise Islands!

Well organized tour, wonderful guide and boat crew, and the sites were absolutely stunning! Highly recommend.

This trip cost a bit more than a few others I saw to Phi Phi Islands, but the size of the group is pretty important. This was a nice boat and we had 20 people onboard. You spend a fair amount of time on the boat and I saw some other configurations that were much more crowded. Overall, great trip. Thanks to Pete, Yellow (photographer) and the rest of the crew on a great job. My kids, wife and I all enjoyed it. Maya Bay is beautiful, snorkeling was lots of fun and the crew was very helpful and informative. Definitely recommend.

I am sooo happy!! Ray our tour guide was wonderful. and Nam did an excellent job with the photography!!

Top class operator! Smoothest operation and everything worked.like clockwork. Clear communication at time of booking with hotel pickup times and they arrived bang on time. Quick trip to the marina where you are greeted by staff all ready for your arrival. Paperwork completed in minutes and a complimentary coffee to help get over the early start. Boat not overcrowded and breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided. Great sights, excellent snorkeling and a first class operation right down to the cold towelettes and ice cream on arrival back at port. Taxi waiting and whisked away to hotel within minutes of getting off boat Highly recommended!

Beautiful hike, morning pick-up in perfect time, everything organized very well, experience that I would do again many times

The tour was awesome. Picking up was on time and everything else was very well organized. I went with my wife and child (5 years). We've experienced so many great things. Thanks to the crew who were great. What was special to me was I saw a baby shark snorkeling. Maya Bay theme: Since I would always book the sunrise tour to avoid the crowds. For us it was unique and beautiful. Thanks again.

Rising at dawn to see a sunrise on a beach with dilapidated buildings and no interest. There are so many beautiful beaches in Thailand without selecting the one we had. Tourist trap type excursion with dozens of boats making the same trip. Spots for snorkeling not especially grandiose and with few fish. It was a disappointment to wake up so early for so little interest.

Super und sehr professionell Organisiert. Die Gruppe war nicht zu gross (ca. 20 Personen) und Sunny, Woodie und der Rest der Führer waren grandios. Jede Frage wurde beantwortet und man fühlte sich sicher und beschützt (bspw. Monkey Beach). Ein grosser Vorteil der Reise war auch,dass man vor den Massentourismus unterwegs ist. Sehr empfehlenswert👍

Tolle Sonnenaufgangstour mit Frühstück am Strand einer einsamen Insel! Maya Bay war anschließend noch nicht mit Touristen überlaufen! Viele weitere Stopps und die Fahrt mit dem Schnellboot waren ein tolles Erlebnis! Die Crew hat sich stets super um alles gekümmert und uns mit Getränken und Snacks gut versorgt! Meine Frau hatte Knieprobleme und man kümmerte sich immer helfend um Sie beim ein und aussteigen!
