I have been on two tours (the Phi Phi Island Tour and the Pham Nga Bay Bioluminescent Tour) with this company and both have been incredible! Very well run and organised, with amazing tour guides and boat crew who are happy to help, answer any questions, and provide great information about the tour areas.
Swimming/floating in the ocean on the Phi Phi Island tour was a highlight, and seeing tropical fish in the wild while snorkelling was thrilling.
However the absolute highlight of my trip was seeing the bioluminescent algae on the Bioluminescent tour. It was absolutely magical, one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen/done. The food stop was also delicious and it was incredible seeing Koh Panyee.
My sister is also vegetarian and the lunch/dinner stops on both tours were very accomodating, it was absolutely not an issue and she got plenty of delicious vegetarian food as well.
We went in August which is not peak season, so we did get areas alone for snatches of time or with very few other people. The weather wasn’t an issue; we got rained on a little but it honestly added to the vibe of the islands. Would recommend going outside of peak season.
Big shout out to Phil, Jimmy (I’m horrible with names, I really hope this is right), and the rest of the boat crew for doing such an incredible job!! Would absolutely recommend 5 Star Marina.
