Phi Phi Islands Private Boat Tour

Phi Phi is a particularly well know location in the Phuket region, with one of its iconic islands made famous after being featured in the 2000 movie, “The Beach” featuring Leonardo DiCaprio.

While many people mistakenly believe that Phi Phi is made up of just one Island, in fact it is a group of 6 islands in total. 5 of these islands are Virgin Islands, with no developments or premises on them other than National Park buildings.

Phi Phi Don is the only island in this group which does have developments; including hotels, restaurants, shops and bars. This island is also known for various fantastic snorkeling locations and authentic Thai restaurants.

The most notable “Beach” in the Phi Phi Island group is the spectacular Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh. Maya Bay was closed for reef restoration for a few years. It reopened in 2022 and restricted access to Maya Bay is now allowed via a pier.

The Phi Phi Islands have some stunning coral reefs abound with marine life, ready to give you an unforgettable experience, swimming, and snorkeling in crystal clear tropical waters.

Why 5 Star Marine?

By selecting to go on a private VIP speedboat tour of Phi Phi Islands with 5 Star Marine you will ensure that you discover the area in the best possible conditions, with the least number of tourists, and also get to discover hidden coves and caves that you will not experience on group tours.

Highly recommend Wonderful experience with the private tour! Right from pick up from our hotel to drop off, everything was well taken care off! Our guide was the perfect guy we could have hoped for.. We were a family of 8 with kids starting from 5 and elderly aged up to 70. All had fun. They planned itinerary in such a way that we visit the spots when there is less crowd. I was a bit apprehensive initially about the kayak in between because of kids and elderly. But they ensured we all enjoyed. The bat cave wasn’t the most fanciest cave I have been to, but the beauty was its small size, natural environment, and most of all we were the only people there at that time! We spend some time in Naka island playing in the beach and jet ski…again at a time when hardly any crowd..James bond island was crowded as expected .. Kho Panyi was out lunch spot..good local food! Personalized experience..Thank you!

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.

Excellent trip! Wow!! Just wow!! This is an excellent tour company, highly recommended. The staff were excellent, and very professional. All the boats are of a very high standard, and the staff are smart and attentive. The tour was excellent, including James Bind island, some caves, canoeing, the luminescent plankton and having an exquisite meal watching the sunset on a boat by a floating village. If you’re considering doing this, book it! You will Not be disappointed!

Excellent day 😀 Thanks to the amazing crew that took great care of us on our phi phi island tour. We had to cut the trip a bit short due to my sons health issues but the crew did everything to make the trip memorable they even brought out a birthday cake to sing happy birthday to my son. Thanks everyone at 5star marine. Excellent communication before the trip which made things seamless. Definitely recommend 😀

Lives up to the name! I highly recommend Five Star! Will use them again for sure next time we are back! You will not regret it! My wife and I celebrated our honey moon in Thailand with one of our stays in Phuket. We wanted to see both Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi in one day. Five Star Marine is the only one I found that does both in one day and their pricing was competitive to those who only offer just one island at a time. From the moment I reached out Shaun and his crew were nothing but professional and accommodating. We came during the off season so on our scheduled day we decided to cancel due to weather but ended up reaching back out later that night to rebook for the following day. Shaun was able to get us in without a problem. On the actual day we were informed of weather and wind patterns as well their professional opinions on what was best route. We felt 100% safe the entire time and it was clear the safety of the passengers was their number one priority. Our crew consisted of Max, Sharon and led by our tour guide Beer! The entire crew especially Beer went out of their way to make the day special! Serving fruit, taking pictures, giving us the history of everything we did along the way as well as taking us to local restaurants and avoiding the mass touristy areas. We went canoeing, snorkeling, walked through caves, swam, and of course did James Bond island and Phi Phi for the classic pictures. The entire day lasted about 9-10 hours and we loved every minute of it!

Fantastic day out From start to finish this tour was exceptional especially travelling with 3 young kids under 5. One of the best tours we did as a family in Phuket. Crew were phenominal and were amazing with the kids. We had organised a picnic lunch and as the kids were getting tired, out came the picnic blanket and before we blinked lunch was set out on the boat. I saw caves I had never seen, swum where I had never been before and my son even got to jetski Would definitely book again

Stunning day with a professional crew Absolutely phenomenal. Jessica and the boat crew were the utmost professionals as they showed us the beauty of the Phi Phi islands. They explained our route and weather conditions prior to getting on the boat, which was nice to know what to expect. They were attentive and ready to help at every step along the way. Given the knowledge and expertise needed to safely provide a tour like this, I'd 100% use them again if we're ever in the area.
