5 Star Marine James Bond Island Day trip was amazing! Joon our tour guide and our captains Ning and Rit were great! They helped us see how beautiful Phuket and surrounding nature and lagoons really are in a private and non crowded casual way. Perfect day! Booking and communication with the company was also phenomenal and fast and easy!

The highlight of our trip, from the first contact with them, until transferred back to our hotel, the service was friendly, informative and professional. There were 10 in our family with 2 non swimmers and they designed an itinerary to suit our interests. They had 3 staff on board that looked after us like family. We did snorkelling off the boat and also an island, visited a floating village, canoeing from the boat into some unbelievable caves and then walked into a large cave, followed by lunch at a restaurant that we selected on a Island. We all agreed that it was definitely the highlight of our trip to Phuket and highly recommend it.

We have recently been on two tours with 5 Star Marine. Both experiences have been unforgettable as we celebrated an Anniversary and a birthday. The service we received was 100% professional and committed in providing a VIP service. From planning our trip a year ago 5 Star responded to any of my messages even if I repeated my questions and responded late at night. The crew we had on tours demonstrated being polite, friendly and that showed that they love what they do. They treated us like VIP’s throughout the trip. I would 100% recommend them and will be back for another tour.

We decided to splash out on a private charter, and we weren't disappointed. Communication from start to finish was excellent, and always wanted to check how they could make our day special.
Our son Jack is type 1 diabetic so our only need was sugar free drinks, and they didn't disappoint..with 3 choices.
We met our guide Nicky & Crew.
Nicky's English was excellent, and he paid special attention to Jack involving him in the trip & decisions.
We travelled to ice cream cave first, with Nicky explaining all the different names of things making sure we were safe & watching our step..our first adventure
As we were leaving around 70 people were coming into the cave...at this point I was glad we had a private charter !
Next Stop was another set of caves, where locals take you in canoes to see the sights. I was going to stay on the boat, but Nicky told me I should go & experience....so I trusted him & I'm glad I did.
It was very busy, but our guides made it fun, cracking jokes & taking pictures.
After around 30mins we returned to our crew.
From there we travelled to James Bond Island...the crew helped us off the boat & Nicky escorted us around, taking pictures & telling us the history of the 2 Islands prior to the filming of James Bond..very informative.
James Bond Island was very very busy...but Nicky made it feel like we were the only ones there...
We climbed some steps to get better views & down the otherside, waiting for the crew to collect us...again...feeling so blessed to have our own boat & Crew.
Next Stop was Lunch..we travelled to the floating village, again Nicky explained the history of how it was established, hoe it was originally a floating village but now it connected to the base, had power etc..
We stopped at local restaurant, saw live seafood but decided on chicken dishes.
After lunch we toured the village, 3000 residents live here..with a school, and mosque, again Nicky escorted us & was so informative.
We saw some young thai children selling souvenirs & let's just say it pulled on my hearts strings & I bought things I didn't need & paid alot...lol ....but I made 2 children smile ...money well spent
Returning to the boat Nicky said let's hit the beach...but honestly we were shattered so asked to return to base.
No problem...this was our boat & our crew for the day...Perfect!
So, whilst it was a splurge...I'd do it again in a heart beat...for space, privacy, tailored, and one on one experience.
Highly recommend 5 Star Marine from start to finish !
We'll be back

Wonderful trip; nothing was too much trouble for the crew. We also had flexibility to change things up as after lunch wanted to find a secluded beach to just swim and relax. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Spent an incredible day around the islands in Phang Nga Bay, thanks to Jimmy, our guide, the captain and the boat crew member. The tour was tailored to the weather conditions and our preferences as first-time travellers to Thailand, while also avoiding the overcrowded and touristy areas. Everything was quickly and easily sorted from the booking process to communication and pick-up on the day. Jimmy made amazing recommendations, regaled us with many tales and took great pictures we still happily look through to remember the experience. Everybody was very kind and accommodating, both in the office and on the boat, with breakfast snacks, fresh fruit and drinks served throughout the day. Would definitely recommend kayaking around the islands and exploring the caves. We will rebook when we return to Phuket.

This is our second trip with five star marine. The first time we went was in 2023 with Sexy Billy and his crew. They were a lough and provided us with such a great day out on the water seeing a range of things throughout the day. This time we were with Ning and her crew. She customized our trip to ensure we were seeing and experiencing new things. Another amazing trip and I would highly recommend this company to all. We spend about 8 hours out visiting 6 different locations including James Bond island. Highlights were also caving, getting kayak around by locals at one of our stops. Visiting the floating village, visiting their local school and lunch.

This has to be one of the best trips we have ever chosen. 5 Star Marine were so professional and organised from start to finish.
We booked a private tour which gave us freedom and choice without the crowds, I would highly recommend a private tour.
We were kept up to date by WhatsApp and email which was very useful. The transfer was on time and the vehicle was certainly VIP.
We were met by Alex who explained the day and activities we were doing. Alex and the team were highly professional and informative.
The cave canoeing was first class and Alex was brilliant in explaining everything we needed to know. We never came across any other tours so we had the caves to ourselves.
James Bond island was busy but great for a photo. Overall this is a great tour with excellent staff who were always at hand if we needed anything.
Again thank you Alex for your knowledge and professionalism and the rest of the team. Also thank you for my wife’s birthday gift this made the day even more special.
Thank you captain Ron for your boat skills.

We did a private boat tour to Phang Nga Bay/James Bond Island, just my wife and I. The day was phenomenal. We started off with a slow cruise as we entered the bay, taking in the beautiful island that are so unique and indescribable. Then we docked and took in James Bond Island. Next was being paddled in a canoe through mangroves and rock formations. Stunningly peaceful and serene. Next was a delicious lunch at the village built on the water on stilts. Then into the canoe again to explore a dark cave with flashlights before it opened up into another dreamlike lagoon open at the top with high rock walls. Finally at stop at a small beach all to ourselves where we swam and fresh fruits were brought out to us while we sat on a beach mat. We thought this trip was worth it for the jaw dropping scenery alone, but add in the personal service we received and it truly became an amazing, unforgettable experience. We had a 2 person boat crew that constantly took care of our every need, but the star of the show was our tour guide—Sexy Billy, a funny knowledgeable, 10 out of 10 guide. We felt so fortunate that we just happened to get him by the luck of the draw. Just can’t say enough about how pleased we were with our trip. Thanks again so much to everyone involved.
