Great experience

Great experience unfortunately the weather was not favourable on the day and the speed boat had water seeping in from the roof area. Otherwise it was a fabulous trip the tour guide and all those who were involved with helping did an awesome job amidst the difficult weather conditions. Don’t take a speed boat if you are over 65 take the ferry instead.

Must do while in Phuket!

What a great experience! If you’re looking for the views of Phuket that you’ve seen online or in pictures, this is where you find it. It takes about an hour by speed boat to get out there and back, but it’s worth it. Out trip to Phuket would have been incomplete without this

The best experience as a couple on the beach that I have had.

It was one of the best tours, if not the best tour I have taken. Everything was impeccable: the organization, the food, the places visited, the guides, the preparation at the arrival site, and the punctuality when they picked us up at the hotel. Additionally, we requested to be dropped off at another location on the return, without any extra charge. It is evident that in this country, people, particularly the guides we had, make their best effort to create such a satisfying experience. I am from Colombia and went with my wife (anniversary celebration), and we were amazed at how beautiful everything was. Additionally, it helped me earn many points with her ;-). Thank you very much @tripadvisor for allowing us foreigners to find such rewarding experiences that make us want to return, even if it takes us almost two continuous days of travel. Best regards,

Excellent tour!

Excellent tour! Well planned, exactly the right amount of time at each stop. The staff is so friendly. They thought of everything, just when you think you’re a little bit hungry out comes a snack. The only downside is that the boat ride there and back is about an hour and on our trip the waters were very choppy so if you’re prone to sickness this is something to bear in mind. Once we were actually at PP Island and used the boat to get between the islands each boat ride was only about five minutes and so that was not a big deal. It’s one of the most well planned and well thought out tours I’ve ever done and we really feel like we got good value for money.

Operator response

During some days the journey between Phuket and Phi Phi can be choppy, and your advice is very helpful for future guests who may be prone to seasickness. It means a lot to hear that you felt the trip was good value for money and one of the best planned tours you’ve experienced. Thank you again for choosing V. Marine Tour — we hope to welcome you back again in the future! 🌴🚤

Mostly suitable for swimmers but place was nice. Guide is Friendly but tips minded guy. He gives information about the place and everything but he is flirting with every girls on the boat

Phi Phi Islands

Super experience, snorkeling, lots of fish, but only lured in by feeding, yet very nice and exciting
