20/10 Tour must do in Phuket

5.00Really enjoyed the tour. it was beautiful and the team is so attentive and kind. got some amazing pictures and they take you to some insane islands. Ray and his team on 88 are awesome. Bao Bao is a skilled photographer which was totally worth the price.
Best boat trip for the Phi Phi Islands

5.00Well kept boat with courteous, helpful staff very attentive to needs and wants of all onboard. You won’t be sorry.
Not as private as advertised but with some stunning moments

3.00Friendly staff that do their very best to make your trip nice. But there is only so much they can do since everywhere you go there are large tourist groups already. We went on the early morning tour with getting up at 4 in the morning but still encountered large crowds in all the hotspots. And you’re in a speedboat with 20 people, yes, but what is not advertised is that it’s three of these boats by the same company that are taking the same trip almost side by side. So in the end you could also just go on a boat with 60 people on it and pay less. The activities are really nice, especially the swimming parts but all in all I‘d recommend to find a really private tour to islands that are not as overcrowded as Maya Beach yet. Still: thank you again to the staff for really trying everything to make this a fun experience. It helped a lot! We felt welcome and looked after. If it was only for the staff I‘d rate the trip much higher but I have to be honest in order to make the reviews worthwhile.
Wonderful day out seeing fantastic Phi Phi and a personal tour !

Amazing day on a fantastic trip

5.00From start to finish this was an amazing trip. We were collected from our hotel and taken to a beautiful new boat at the Royal Marina. We were so well looked after. If we went in the water our towels were hung up to dry and folded back up at our seat for our return. We were given water, juice and fruit regularly and had a lovely lunch with a large choice. We were showered when we returned to the boat and our shoes were taken ashore for us. There were 5 people on board to look after 20 people so we truly were treated like kings. They kept us safe and looked out for us at monkey beach. We have never seen so many fantastic fish. A diver came into the water to guide us to the best spots to see reef sharks, clown fish, parrot fish and so much more. The day would not have been as fantastic as it was without Ray and his team. Thank you for the memories.
Lots of stops

3.00Tour was ok. A lot of stops. Only problem was a monsoon hit and the show still went on. It was raining hard from beginning to end.
Great experience!

Diarrhea & crowded stops don't recommend

2.00VMarine is an excellent tour company, their communication, pick up and tour is as described. HOWEVER this rating is specifically on this tour of theirs. These places are all too busy except the snorkeling spot. The first stop Bamboo island is jam packed, you have to wear a life vest to go ij the water at all. The swimming area is pretty small for the numbers there and that's what they also call their first snorkel spot. As an experienced snorkeler you aren't getting good results at the end of a sandy beach filled with people. So really no snorkeling there. They really should just take that spot off the tour. Next spot was snorkeling off the boat for 40 min. Great spot. No vest required. Then you stop for lunch. According to their website description it's lunch just for your group. Not exactly. It's lunch for all of V Marines groups (5 boats of people). While we thought the buffet was okay, later that night we both got horribly sick (vomiting & diarrhea). Ruined our next day. It absolutely was from that food that had been sitting out (only time we at the same thing the entire trip & not eating sketchy stuff in 3 weeks). The chafing dishes were luke warm, just looking back a HUGE mistake. Then is Maya Bay. Don't even bother with a tour that goes here. There are a ton of boats squeezing into a floating dock. You then walk a couple football fields on a raised platform with TONS of people only to get to a packed beach you get whistled at if you go in past your ankles. This wasn't during their 2 month shut down. This is how Maya Bay is now. Honestly the beach isn't the most amazing I've seen having traveled throughout the Caribbean & Central America. This is a total skip. The next stop they pull in with a ton of boats and you can swim off the back about 40 feet in about 12 feet of water. Teenagers liked jumping off the boat but not very picturesque and the smell of all the diesel fuel. Viking Cave you cruise past. It looks like any other beach erosion area TBH. So I would not recommend this tour. Do something else.
Great snorkeling. But speedboat ride was rough
John E,Aug 12, 2025

4.00I joined a guided tour to Bamboo Island and Phi Phi Island, and the snorkeling was absolutely fantastic — even with rain falling all day, the underwater views were worth it. The crew was friendly and the stops were beautiful. That said, I learned that riding a speedboat on the open sea is a very different experience from a speedboat on a lake — the ride was much rougher than I expected. Next time, I’’ll probably choose a tour that doesn’t involve a speedboat. But overall, a memorable day with amazing snorkeling and gorgeous scenery.
Incroyable
