    This day was the most incredible day. We were taken care of from beginning to end. We had a family group age ranges from 11-65. Everyone had a great time. We swam and snorkeled, kayaked and explored the cave. Fresh fruit on the boat. And, one of the best meals we had in Thailand on our island stop. I would highly recommend.

    Best boating experience in Phuket!

    5 star marine is the way to go if you want a personalized and private experience of the waters around Phuket. The crew is so kind and accommodating. We all really wanted to experience the best snorkeling Phuket had to offer with the least crowds possible and the 5 star marine crew delivered. Beer was the best guide and the crew was equally outstanding. Can't wait to go back!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Private Boat Tour – Highly Recommend!

    We had an absolutely fantastic day with 5 Star Marine on a private boat tour. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and easy, and the team made us feel very welcome. We told them we were keen to spend the day snorkeling, and they used their expert knowledge of the area, including the tides and best locations, to plan the perfect itinerary for us. It really felt like the day was tailored specifically for what we wanted. Safety was clearly a priority for the crew, and they made sure we were comfortable and well hydrated throughout the day. Everything we needed was provided — drinks, fresh fruit, snorkeling gear, and life jackets — which made the whole experience very relaxed and enjoyable. The snorkeling spots were beautiful with lots of fish to see, and we were even lucky enough to spot a baby blacktip reef shark! What really made the day special was the crew. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. When we returned, they even surprised me with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. A big thank you to our captain, Captain Bobby, and Noon our guide for making the day so memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Phuket who wants a truly special day out on the water.

    Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.

    How much does Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands cost?

    +

    Prices start at $760 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Phuket?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Phuket?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Phuket?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands?

    +

    Included: Life Jackets; Air-conditioned vehicle; Soda/Pop; Use of Snorkelling equipment; and Bottled water. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 981 listed pickup locations in and around Phuket. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, Thai and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands?

    +

    Is Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Full-Day Private Cruise of Khai and Mai Ton Islands if the weather is bad?

    +
