The best operator to go to Phi Phi Island
Was the best trip!!! We started the trip early so was able to get to the spots when no one was around. The staff were super thoughtful and accomodating, even making us a cake to celebrate our anniversary!! Would recommend this and can’t wait to come back

An Unforgettable Phi Phi Tour with 5 Star Marine – Special Thanks to Fai & the Amazing Crew! ❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with 5 Star Marine on our private Phi Phi Islands tour! Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the entire day was smooth, enjoyable and truly memorable. A very special thank you to Fai — she was absolutely lovely! She was kind, friendly, attentive and wonderful with our family, especially the kids. She took such great care of us throughout the day and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The entire crew were fantastic as well — professional, helpful, patient and always smiling. We felt completely safe and very well taken care of throughout the whole trip. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Phuket holiday and such a beautiful experience for our family. Thank you Fai and the whole crew for making our day so special. ❤️🙏 We would absolutely recommend 5 Star Marine, especially for families looking for a wonderful private boat experience in Phuket! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know this sounds like a paid advertorial but trust me it isn't
Just came back from Phuket. We were four families with kids from 6-12 years old, and having a private tour was the best decisions we made for our trip. The nice videos and blogs the team makes kept us looking forward to the tour (dont miss them - like their FB page too). We were travelling in the rainy season and the last thing we wanted was to have our tour on a day with thunderstorms (which happened on the day we arrived in Phuket) The customer service team assured that they could adjust the schedule should the weather be bad, and sent us weather forecast to give us peace of mind. This was especially important to me as I tend to over worry especially when we have so many kids. The CS team was always quick to respond to questions, and sent detailed and timely reminders before the trip, keeping us well informed of what to expect. The breakfast they provided was decent. Our guide Anwa was both friendly and professional. He gave a detailed briefing on the tour before we went on the boat, which was well maintained and very spacious for the 15 of us. I think one moment I would still recall for a very long time from now was when we sat at the front of the boat and seeing the Phi Phi Island getting closer and bigger as we approached, and that I was in awe admiring its magnificant cliffs. Watching a youtube video on this world famous landscape is one thing, appreciating its beauty in my own way is another. This is a world apart from being stuffed on a boat packed with many other tourists, and seeing the landscape for the first time only when you leave the boat. For those moments alone I did thought the private tour was well worth it :) Though we didn't set off early we were lucky to have arrived at Maya Bay before it became too crowded, again one good thing about travelling with a private tour. We then arrived at a different bay for swimming, but since we preferred to spend more time on snorkeling Anwa quickly adjusted his plan. We ended up having an hour of so (I lost track of time to be honest) for snorkeling and we all enjoyed it. The last highlight of the tour was lunch on an island - we had feared that it would be expensive as the restaurant was part of a hotel, but the food and drinks turned out to be very reasonably priced (and tasty) and we were thankful as we had hungry kids to feed! All in all you won't regret joining 5 star marine tours as they well deserve the ‘5 star’ title. We came to Phuket in a smaller group last year and joined a random island hopping tour at those small stalls on streets of Patong. I know you can’t compare a random group tour and a private tour but in Cantonese, we say “the difference is nine streets”, if not eighteen streets in this case! And if you compute the cost per head - the difference is actually minimal. If you are travelling in a big group, look no further and just join one of their tours please. Thank you Anwa and the team for everything and of course Shaun and the rest of the staff for making island hopping in Phuket the most enjoyable experience for all adults and kids in our group. Pls keep up with the good work!

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $34000 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 Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 750 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour?
+
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 Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour?
+
Around 263 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour 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, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. 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.
