We took the Bioluminescence and Sea Canoeing tour with Alex and it exceeded our expectations. The canoeing and caving was so much fun, and the bioluminescence was magical. We added on some extra snorkeling and even though the water was a bit murky, everyone had a blast. Alex is an awesome guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole crew really looked after us. Thank you. My kids said that this tour was the highlight of their trip to Thailand.

I can't say enough amazing things about 5 Star Marine and our guide Alex. We booked a last minute private boat tour to see the bioluminescent algea and get dinner at Punyee Island. I highly recommend using them for a boat tour because you will get more than you pay for and amazing service. 5 Star Marine communicated quickly and we were able to book a private boat with them at a great price within a few hours. They brought their boat over to the marina we were already going to be at in the afternoon and sent us a picture of the boat and our guide so we knew who to look for. The service from Alex and his team was impecible from the start. The boat was clean and in great shape and comfortable for all of us. We had planned to see just Punyee Island for dinner and then the algea but Alex had some recommendations of things to see along the way that we were happy to do, and I'm so glad we did! He took us to a hidden private open cave and lagoon that was breathtaking. Then we swung by more stunning rock formations enjoying the sunset from the boat on the way to dinner. He called ahead to the restaurant to make sure they stayed open for us since we spent time enjoying the lagoon/cave. After a wonderful dinner he took us to a cave where guides were waiting in canoes to take us into the calm dark waters to see the algae. We spent time in the cave playing in the water and enjoying the light show. Alex jumped into the water to show us different affects with the biolumimesence and it was so much fun. One of our friends was nervous about the canoes so she stayed back on the speedboat, but they still made sure she go to experience it as well by turning off all the lights and having her splash on the back of the boat. After ample time we all loaded back onto the speed boat and headed back to the marina where Alex arranged for a van ride for our group back to our hotel. We stayed out later than expected, got to see and experience more than we expected, and were blown away by the service the entire time. Alex was so kind and seemed to enjoy answering all our questions and teaching us about the area. You can tell he loves his country and sharing it with people. We never felt rushed and got to enjoy the evening at a relaxed pace. They made a custom program for us, at a great price, that was worth every penny. If I'm ever back in Phuket I will use them again and again and again!! Thank you for an amazing time!

Great customer service from the day we booked, communicated with me throughout the period before we stared. Prompt pickup from our hotel, warm welcome from the staff. Our tour guide Alex and his team took great care of us, especially my 80 years old mum. He was very thoughtful and caring, tried his best helping my mum so she was not missing out and can joined all the activities with us. It is very appreciated. Highly recommended. - Lily

We had a fantastic time with 5 Star Marine on our private tour to Phang Nga Bay. Nicky, Bob, and Thomas were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We truly appreciated the care they gave in crafting a perfect itinerary for us and making sure we got to do what we wanted. All the stops we made were extremely memorable and we always felt safe under their expert guidance and supervision. All in all, A+++++++

What a wonderful day - huge thanks to Nicky our guide for giving us such a memorable time. We felt in safe hands and went with his suggestions which seemed to mean that we avoided any crowds and had the best experiences. We swam a bit, explored the caves, ate Thai food for Christmas Day lunch in a floating water village and made snow angels out of the bioluminescence which was so special.
