We did a private island-hopping tour with 5 Star Marine, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish.
Pickup was right on time, in fact it was 1hour early than stated time and the driver waited for us patiently without complaints but with a wide smile on his face, and everything felt easy and well organized. When we arrived at the pier, the crew welcomed us and went through the plan for the day. The boat was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space and shade, which made the ride really enjoyable.
Our guide, Anwar, was fantastic. He was friendly, easygoing, and very knowledgeable. He explained each stop, pointed out marine life while snorkeling, and always made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. You could tell he genuinely cared about giving us a great experience, not just rushing through the itinerary.
The islands were beautiful, and the schedule felt just right — enough time to explore, snorkel, swim, and relax without feeling rushed. And to end the day with a cave adventure via canoe/kayak. The snorkeling spot had just about clear water and lots of fish, and the beach stop was perfect for relaxing. Just us, our family alone with no others. Felt so peaceful and serene. Lunch was freshly prepared local food, simple but delicious, with cold drinks and ice cream to cool off. On a side note, weather was perfect. No sunny sun most of the time. Canoe adventure was a great experience for the kids. They enjoyed it so much.
The crew was helpful the entire day, assisting us on and off the boat and taking care of all the details so we could just enjoy ourselves. Everything ran smoothly, and the whole trip felt very relaxed and private.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend 5 Star Marine if you’re looking for a private island-hopping tour. It was well worth it, and having a great guide like Anwar made the day even better.
Absolutely 5 star service from hotel pickup to return. Excellent crew, knowledgeable and polite. Our guide spoke Excellent English. Communication before and after trip was very good. Boat was extremely clean, in excellent shape and very clean. Thank you 5 star marine!
I have visited Thailand many times over the past 30 years, this was the best trip we have ever been on.
We wanted something special away from the crowds with friends and family for my birthday.
From initial enquiry to the end of the excursion was absolutely faultless. Communication with the team was fabulous from start to finish.. on the day, on the day we were incredibly well looked after, The crew were all so sweet and kind. Gave us some great tips and history and kept us all entertained. They are also very good at taking photos so the kids loved that! ????
Having the flexibility to go where we wanted was worth every penny. They took us to some incredible spots having the place to ourselves… and the day was just magical!
Thank you so so much!
