Top Phuket Bus Tours

Book this! Genuinely the BEST experience ever! We had limited time in Phuket, but wanted to see James Bond island, Phi Phi island and Maya Bay, I stumbled across this experience and honesty it surpassed all expectations! Top tip: wear your swim gear underneath your clothing, bring a towel, spare change of clothing, and wear footwear that’s easy to take off (e.g. slippers/ sliders). It started with an amazing pickup service from our hotel! We were in a party-style bus, with music and cool lighting on the ceiling, it made the early start so worth it! We arrived at the boat’s location and we were given a selection of cakes and drinks for breakfast, before they gave us a quick talk explaining the itinerary. We were so lucky because our speedboat only had 2 other families with us, so we had plenty of space on the boat (tour was fully in English as well!). The speedboat journey was actually so comfortable, fast and fun, I would definitely recommend this option rather than the slower big boat! The crew on board were so lovely and would offer to take photos of us (for free!) and they also gave us plenty of snacks on the boat (for free) including: watermelon slices, cake, juice, water bottles, bananas etc. it felt so luxurious! We saw all the locations on the itinerary, they let us explore the islands and take plenty of pictures, it didn’t feel rushed at all. They offered an additional longboat and swimming experience, which we did take, (it helped because we were able to split the additional price with another family) - they let us swim in a lagoon with fish! Such a magical experience and great photo opportunity! Lunch on Phi Phi island wasn’t the best for me (as I’m allergic to shellfish, they had very limited options, so I went to McDonald’s instead, which was of course great, haha). Snorkelling was fantastic, they give you all the gear! We saw lots of fish and my partner saw a sting ray! They have a marked area for snorkelling so it’s safe and monitored, the crew also give plenty of time for you to return. They had a shower on the back of the speedboat which we all used to wash off the sand - so helpful! Canoeing in the caves - also such a great experience, super fun!! At the end of the trip they gave us ice lollies for free, and they dropped us back to our hotel in the party-bus again! Fantastic service! Honestly, it’s been a whole year and I still remember all the detail from this unforgettable trip, I just had to leave a review!! 10/10 experience, would recommend to anybody!

Whew, I thought I was gonna die! I was so sick. The waves were out of control! The crew were wonderful taking care of all of us that were sick. Those guys earned every baht!! The snorkeling was amazing. I did not like any of the pictures that were taken because you never had any idea you were getting photographed.

I wish I could rate this place high than 5/5. It was simply incredible. The whole day was absolutely perfect you have to book this trip. You visit paradise and never want to go back. Sadly there were thunderstorms in the late evening so couldn’t go to the beach to see the bioluminescent plankton but my guide took me on a canoe into the caves of hong island where you could see the plankton in the water, it was magical! My guide, San, was an absolute legend. Every time I come back to Phuket I will make sure to meet with him because he is the nicest person in the world. 5starmarine is very lucky to have him! Thank you so much for everything ❤️
