Excellent boat tour. Highly recommend the early bird option to beat the crowds and see the areas before the sun makes it unbearable.
The company did pick up and drop off from our place in Patong. Well air conditioned vehicle, and excellent driving. Getting onto the speed boat was seamless, with only 4 other couples on the boat with us.
Agree with the reviews below that the photographer isn’t worth the money. Just ask another couple or the tour guide.
The entire day was full of fun, and the guides never let you get dehydrated - tons of water, coke, fruits, and snacks.
The scenes were picturesque! Great for a little romantic moment, and the best way to see a monkey up close!
The only negative comment was the time allocation in each area. Lots of time at the “beach” location and lunch area, but less time for the monkey island or the first snorkel location.
Otherwise - very good and fun time! Highly recommend, especially over the long boat tours.

My husband and I booked this tour based on other wonderful reviews, and are so glad we did. If you are looking around for the best tour, this one is it, your search is over. Ray, our tour guide and his crew kept us hydrated, fed us snacks continually throughout the day and the driver of the boat kept us safe on his dual 250 horsepower engines. Got us to Bamboo Island (our first stop) in a little under an hour. On board toilet, you can’t stand in it, but boy did it come in handy, with the driver slowing down any time someone had to use it. This boat was super clean and very nice. Ray explained everything to us and we always knew where we were going and what to expect. We paid for the photographers to take our picture throughout the whole day. They were FABULOUS! What a happy, patient group of guys and they had fun taking our pics, showing us the best poses and places on beaches to get the best shots. They took pics of us on the boat at all the stops with the beautiful scenery. They were such a joyous and fun crew who kept the day on schedule. The lunch at the Holiday Hotel was great! I loved the spaghetti! Restrooms and hotel pool were also enjoyed for that stop! Such an amazing day of beautiful snorkeling! We opted to pay more for the private transfer and glad we did. Our driver was prompt for our hotel pick-up. There was only 22 people on our boat. We had a great group of folks. It was perfect. Thanks, V-Marine for a memorable day to last a lifetime!! We had boat #9.

We had a great time on this day-trip tour of some of the Phi Phi islands! There were only ~25 people on our boat, which could fit up to 40, and we were definitely glad for the smaller number. Our guide, Goodie, was informative while being hilarious and I would recommend him above all others for this experience!! The crew was also great, helping everyone on and off the boat, hosing people off, keeping the boat clean, etc. There was also plenty of beverages and snacks onboard, with the snacks rotating throughout the day (bananas, a kind of coconut cake sandwich which was delicious, watermelon and pineapple, waters, Coca Cola, etc.). This was our itinerary:
o We were picked up from our hotel along with a few other groups and brought to the marina. While there, we paid final balances, had a chance to get coffee and had a brief explanation of the day.
o Then, we boarded the boat and traveled for ~1 hour to get to the first location, which was Bamboo Island/Koh Pai. Bamboo Island had amazing snorkeling and swimming, and was overall gorgeous.
o Next, we went to Ko Phi Phi Don where we had a delicious buffet lunch at a resort and then had time for some swimming, in the sea or in the resort pool.
o After lunch, we went to another location for more snorkeling, which was deeper than the first stop.
o We then went to Monkey Beach, where we saw many adorable monkeys (though definitely keep your distance & old on to your hats!).
o From there, we boated past and learned about Viking Cave on our way Pileh Bay, which had high tide so we were able to go in and swim.
o Afterwards, we went to Maya Beach, which is open for people to see but people were not allowed to get more than calf deep in the water.
o After Maya beach, we headed back to the marina.

We had a great tour of some of the amazing Phi Phi Islands. Our tour guide was Ray and his team (a total of six people). They did a great job making sure the whole group had what they needed and made the experience great.
Ray explained each of our stops very well. He gave a little history, was very clear about where we were, how long we would be there, and what time we needed to return to the boat. We were constantly offered water or soda. They also had snacks like fruit, bars, and a little coconut cake.
The initial ride there and the final ride back are pretty lengthy. Can’t remember how long the ride there was but the way back was almost one hour. I can’t complain though, the wind felt great!
The views throughout the tour speak for themselves! I still can’t decide which stop I loved the most. They’re all amazing places. We were provided snorkeling gear (new mouthpiece) - it’s such a great experience. They picked a great snorkeling spot - we got to see lots of beautiful fish. Ray encouraged us to jump off the front of the boat and I would have to agree it’s the best way to get in!
Lunch was great! Very tasty. The lunch was included but if you want an alcoholic drink you pay for it (very affordable - I don’t think we spent more than $20 on four drinks and they were amazing). They have restrooms and shower at that hotel as well. We stopped with enough time to eat and relax by the water.
When we stopped at Monkey beach, we unfortunately did not see any monkeys. I was looking forward to that part the most so I was sad. However, Ray and his team took us around to the side to see if we could see any monkeys and we did! We even got to see a mama monkey with her baby. It was definitely a hilight and I’m grateful they went around to make sure we saw monkeys.
Would definitely recommend and hope to come back one day.

Fantastic Boat Tour, ran by tour leader Jackie.
Jackie managed the group very well and considering we had some very scenic stop offs, made sure we never felt rushed or got lost.
Phi Phi and other islands in my opinion are a must see if spending some time in Phuket and I recommend taking the boat tour with the V.Marine Tour group.
Many thanks Jackie

This day trip was excellent and exactly what we were wanting. Glad we booked the small tour group size (20 people max) as it allowed for a less crowded boat ride. The mix of islands and time allowed at each was perfect. We were able to snorkel at 2 of the stops and saw many colourful fish of all sizes and colours (we able to swim/get in the water at all the beaches). Variety of snacks (chocolates, sweets, fruit, water, coca cola) were provided on board throughout. The buffet lunch is very average. Ray and his team were wonderful tour guides and hosts; always so friendly, helpful and polite! They really looked after us well with making sure we had everything we need, always offering a helping had and making sure we were comfortable!
If you get seasick definitely take the anti-sickness pill before hand and sit towards the engine of the boat. It's a bumpy and fast 1hr boat ride to the first stop. Be warned, if you sit as the back near the engine you will be splashed with water during the ride. Maya Bay (from the move The Beach) is also obviously the most popular beach, so be prepared for the crowds and lines to get back onto the boat.

Jackie our trip guide was very entertaining during all the rides between the islands! Lots of snacks and hydration too! Lunch was Delicious too.
Snorkelling was clear water for all but one sites and a decent variety of fish and coral.
I recommend paying extra 1800 tai baht to have their photographer take pics for better quality images if you're a photo fan. Longer than I expected but fun seeing the Monkey's in Monkey Bay and baby sharks in Maya bay.
Be ready for possibly choppy waves on a pretty fast boat, I loved it, felt a bit like a ride at the country fair some of the time, HAHAHA!

Amazing experience! My husband and I were for the first time in Thailand and Phuket and this tour was amazing!
Organisation from the team was on point, there were so many people around and yet they manage to separate all the groups and give clear instructions to everyone. We ended up in Goodies team, he went over the top and was an amazing guide! The ride to the islands was very smooth too, yes, a bit bumpy sometimes but honestly it wasn't uncomfortable at all, and the amount of people that they fit per boat allows you to have plenty of space. I usually get sea sick, so I had a couple of pills before departing and I was completely fine.
The islands were beautiful and the time spent in them was enough, the snorkeling spots were amazing too.
The buffet was super tasty and the crew offered us plenty of drinks at any time, they also offered some fruit during the trip.
We had an amazing day and would highly recommend to everyone wanting to see some of the Phi Phi Islands.

I really enjoyed Jackie and his crew. They really took care of us. I feel like the program was planned out well. I was not sure I wanted to do a full day but I am glad I chose this program. They really try to make your trip worth your time and money. The teams communication was excellent around what to expect as far as the day and what was planned. They gave ample time at each stop for you to enjoy yourself l. I love that they stayed on time with the program. The water was very choppy but they made sure they communicated that to us and tried to make the ride as comfortable as possible. The food for lunch was pretty good. They also catered to people who has dietary restrictions was well which was thoughtful. There was snacks provided throughout the day before and after lunch along with water and other beverages. Due to the fact your are moving a lot I thought this was a nice tough because you will need a snack. It was an overall fun and uplifted atmosphere. Jackie was a great guide and we really appreciate his work. He kept the jokes coming and the energy lifted. His crew was very attentive and polite. They also took great photos for your when you needed someone to grab a good picture for the breathtaking views!
It was a long day , However , we enjoyed our group and guide.
The only thing I will say did bothered me was the unattended bathrooms at Maya Bay(Mo Ko Phi Phi National Park). I am not sure that is something they can talk to the staff about there since it is apart of the tour. The bathrooms were absolutely horrendous. They definitely needed some cleaning and maintaining with all the guest that come through that park. Also it was no toilet paper. I opted to wait till we got back to the pier along with many others because it was our last stop before we headed back. I would highly recommend some changes being implemented there because that was not a good experience. Other than that one stop it was a great day.

The staff were great from start to finish. The marina was really busy but it was very well organised and we were on the boat and on our way quickly. We were given a clear itinerary and plenty of water, soft drinks and fruit on the boat and a great buffet lunch at the restaurant. The snorkelling was superb. We hadn’t snorkelled for 20 years so first stop off we snorkelling from the beach which gave us the confidence for the next stops for snorkelling straight off the boat in deeper water (not too deep though!)
Both Monkey Island (loads of monkeys) and Maya bay were busy as expected but not ridiculously so as numbers are managed. You can only stand in Maya bay with the water up to your knees. This is to protect the baby shark population, the national park staff keep a watchful eye out for the usual tourists who can’t be bothered to follow the very clearly stated rules to protect this stunning environment.
I felt very lucky to have had the opportunity to visit the places we did and I am very grateful for Jackie and his team for making it such a memorable trip.

What is difference between private and shared transfer option? Is it that we will share a car with other people on our way to port?
It looks like there is an option for a small group that holds max 20 people. How many are in the larger group? Is it still comfortable?

I didn’t book the smaller group option and it was absolutely fine , plenty of room on the boat , everyone has to be seated so they wouldn’t take anymore than it seats anyway. There were no more than 20 of us on our boat , hope this helps.
May I know if the trip provide the breakfast before leaving? Or should we take breakfast before being picked up

Have breakfast before you go. Snacks/fruit only (& water/tea/coffee) are available when you get there but not a breakfast meal
Will there be a photographer we can book the day of? Or should we reserve this in advance ?

You just tell the guide you want the photographer to follow you around. You will get a a special wrist band so he knows to follow you and your family. No need to pre book
Do we need to pay the photographer fee per person or per group? (We are two people)
In the comments I’m seeing per group, but when we try to purchase the package it shows up as per person…

We were 2 persons and the price was same for one. Surely we were couple. So there was gopro for under water and real Canon cameras for other photos.
Does the day trip + photographer package include just the GoPro or both gopro and DSLR camera?

Both! DSLR for dry conditions and GoPro for snorkeling.

Hi,
Is it possible for me to book a private tour for my family of four via speedboat? Also, we would like a special programme where we depart early to catch the sunrise and then return by 2pm-3pm.
If this is possible, please let me know how to contact you to book this. Thank you.
We are coming in on a cruise ship (Holland America Westerdam) from February 5 at 8:00 until 4:00 on February 6. Can we arrange for you to pick people up and return us at/to the cruise port? Can you please e-mail me so we can make arrangements (and include other people)? Are you really restricted to people under 70 years old?

Hello,
I am not the tour operator, V Marine Tour is.
However, you list your time --- presumably at Phuket --- between 8 am and 4 pm. You do not have enough time for this day trip to Phi Phi Islands. It does not return to the Phuket Marina until about 5:30 pm.
In general, when cruising one should only book day excursions directly through the cruise ship as they have already vetted those excursion operators that can operate well within the timeframe the ship is in port. Otherwise, you will most likely miss your cruise ship departure time.
