We just returned from the great private boat trip (Racha Yai island (ideal for snorkeling with super clear water), lovely little island called Koh Gaew Island and Mun island for more snorkeling & sightseeing). Everything was perfectly organized: just on time pick up from the hotel, meeting in the port, trip itself, delivery back. Guys working on the boat was doing awesome job. It delivered full day of joy and positive emotions and great pictures taken by the crew. Worth to mention superb lunch (chicken with nuts, shrimps, fresh vegetables, coconuts) served on the beach with a table ware and normal dishes. Thanks a lot!!! We definitely recommend your service and will be happy to contact you for another trip

Giles, Khun Man and the crew were 5 stars. Giles was awesome to work with on planning our Trip and Khun Man and the crew delivered. Giles met us at the harbor before the trip and made sure we had everything we needed, answered any questions and gave us great recommendations. I would highly recommend Offspray and I will be using them again on my future trips. The crew put us on great locations, that avoided crowds and with fantastic scenery both above and below the water. We had a guy in our private group that was not the best swimmer and the crew accommodated for him accordingly so he could enjoy the underwater sites. The crew gave us as much freedom on the islands as we wanted and allowed us to enjoy the sites at our leisure. We felt completely safe with the crew navigating the ocean, as well as the snorkeling sites
Yuricoach
Fabulous experience, the team was impecable at each time. Always looking after us whilst at the water, in the boat or at the beach. Food was delicious, they prepared the serving table during our meal, and sitting area while at the beach. Snorkeling material was perfect too! Totally recommend them, thanks Giles and the whole crew for this beautiful day. Looking forward to our next charter with you.
Ilan
We had an amazing time with offspray leisure and their profesional crew. Took us to some great and remote snorkeling sites.
Käthy
We did a private boat tour to Banana Beach and Racha Island. It was a perfect day with snorkeling and relaxing. The crew did a great job. They were very helpful and friendly. Hope to see you next time to explore some more beautiful places!

What a great time with the Offspray team! we booked a boat trip with another family and made fast friends not only with them but also captain Khun Man and his Crew. had a great lunch on an island in the shade, snorkeled and floated around all day! I wish my time in Phuket was longer to do another trip with this crew.
Saowanee
Beautiful place like alway and the best service best food .Guide and staff very gentel polite. Thank you take us to visit.

ラチャ島やピピ島にスピードボートで行ってスノーケルやダイビングをしました。海がとにかく素晴らしい!おまけに船上なのに豪華ランチ

When we go to phuket always join the offspray trip.Because snorkeling is excellent. also crew and food are great!! service is family-like welcome(^v^)
Shirley
We really recommend offspray leisure if you are looking for an amazing experience in Phuket, they are really professionals and will make sure you’ll have a wonderful day on the sea. The crew are very very nice and friendly and they make everything they can to make you feel happy and entertained. We definitely will book again a trip, the boat is super nice and clean and it is bigger that it seems on the pictures. Food is exepcional and we couldn’t ask for more. Worth every cent of your money because the service is way to small for the amount of fun and good memories you will get. Thank you a lot! Familia Aspelin.
Wayne
We had a awesome experience, myself and my wife when scuba diving with offspray. The staff are really professional and friendly. In-between dives we visited a great beach for a picnic right on the seashore. I will definitely use these guys again.
Devon
AMAZING! Giles and his crew go above and beyond to meet your needs and then surpass them. As a mom of three young boys it can be hard to relax but this team made it happen. They made sure there was food the kiddos would eat and even helped the kids snorkel, fish, and play on the beach. The snorkeling spots they took us to were filled with coral and so many beautiful fish! The snorkeling equipment was clean and they had some for all sizes. The lunch on the beach was delicious - Giles’ wife hit it out of the park with amazing prawns and vegetable dish. I would recommend Off-Spray to EVERYONE! It was such an amazing trip - we are so blessed to have had this experience! Thank you Off-Spray . Our family will remember this day!!!
Janet
I have done many trips of all kinds during the 25 years I have been visiting Phuket. Giles and his team are experts at their job and certainly know how to look after you. Whatever you need – you can have! If you need to relax and do nothing – you can. If you love to snorkel – you can. If you love to eat excellent food in wonderful surroundings – you can. The lunch on the beach was amazing . I had worked up quite an appetite after all that snorkelling ! It goes without saying that the water is clear and warm and there is so much to see. I am always impressed with the level of service too. I was also pleased with the constant attention to the safety of everyone on board. I can therefore highly recommend Giles and his team. Don't miss out on the chance to have a trip of a lifetime
Jbal
Giles and his crew gave us the best snorkeling experience! They treated us like family and made sure we were enjoying ourselves the entire time. They took us out to different locations to snorkel, gave us time to swim and enjoy the beach, and provided an amazing lunch buffet in a quiet area. Would definitely recommend and will definitely book with them next time we’re in Phuket! Thank you Offspray!
Xavier
The main reason we went to Phuket during the Sandbox s heme was so we could visit the islands and sed them like never before. We were going to moin a boat tour but found Offspray and glad we did. Private boat hire is definitely the way to go during sandbox as it meant we did not have to mix with other groups of guests. The Racha islands were stunning and barely anyone else there. This trip was great for us as we were able to combine snorkeling, fishing and island hopping which kept everyone in the family happy!
Gerald
What a tour operator. I have been lucky enough to take several trips out of Phuket with Offspray and I can not say enough about how much fun my family and I had. Super friendly and helpful crew and the lunches which are provided are second to none. Each trip we have taken we have always felt super safe and we have always been taken outside of the norm to locations which are away from all the crowds and to the most beautiful locations above and below the water. Crew are also great at explaining the location you are seeing and explain the history of where we went. I have been on many different tour operators in Phuket and by far offspray has been the best. Do yourself a favour and give Giles and hit he will deffinently take care of any need you may have
Misha
Lovely day out to Racha and Coral Island . Lucky enough with the weather , the spots chosen by the crew were amazing, picnic lunch provided was excellent. All in all a fabulous day ! Not to forget Giles ‘ excellent follow up and customer service !
Adrian
We had a fantastic day out with Offspray snorkelling around the Phi Phi islands. Amazing scenery coupled with beautifully clear waters that were teeming with sea life made for an unforgettable day out. The team couldn’t have been more helpful and provided an extensive lunch on the beach with plenty of great food and great service. It’s the second time we’ve spent the day with these guys and it certainly won’t be the last. Book with Offspray, you won’t regret it!
Megan
Wow a truly surreal and private experience! Visited 2 private islands. Racha Noi and Racha Yai. The water was crystal clear, they also provided snorkelling equipment. No one else was there on the island. Completely covid safe, as well as on board! Staff practised all the covid precautions and measurements. Where better than to be on your own private yacht! Staff were amazing! I couldn’t recommend them enough. They fully catered to all our needs. Truly a once in a life time experience, that I will never forget!
Leigh
A massive thank you to Giles and his crew for an amazing day out of their vessel. My wife and 15 month old felt safe the whole trip and we’re accommodated with amazing snorkelling, scenery and refreshments perfect for the day. Our favourite place was Phi Phi Island and with the speed of their vessel got their quicker than other larger vessels by far. We had so much fun we went again just before we left to other areas some don’t venture to. What a place. For those who are thinking of sailing out to the clearest waters on the planet you have ever seen give the crew at OffSpray a call. By far our highlight of our trip. Thanks guys we will be back, this time when our little water baby is old enough to snorkel. Cheers, Leigh

George
Thank you to the Offspray crew for providing us with a day to remember. The crew went above and beyond to ensure we had a really enjoyable day out at the Racha Islands. Having the extra flexibility to decide if we wanted to add in the extra island depending on the weather and the kids was great as we were not sure how our kids would get on with the boat but they loved the trip so it was nice to have that option available. Booking was easy and straight forward, we would highly recommend to friends and to families wanting a fun packed day out with a safety conscious company.
Response from Giles:

Just want to give these guys a big thank you for a wonderful trip. We went to Racha Island for the day. These are difficult times but we are glad to see that Offspray still operates at a very high level. Captain and staff were super helpful and lunch was outstanding.

We just got back from spending a full day with Offspray private boat tour. Solid operator with a great crew that was very professional and attentive through and through. It’s always good spending abit more and arrange a private boat as we get to enjoy Phi Phi and the surrounding islands at our own pace.. Will definitely be using Offspray again! So much more to explore ..

After a lengthy ASQ in BKK it was a pleasure to be back on board the brilliant Offpray 1 with Giles & the team, these guys are amazing & i've been using them since 2005 without fail. See you guys again in May for another brilliant day out.
Response from Giles:

Sarah
We spent 2 days with the offspray crew. 1 day we went to James Bond island and we spent the second day at phi phi island for snorkeling, swimming and sightseeing. The picnic lunch on board was amazing! James, Khun Man and the rest of the crew were fantastic. We had lots of laughs and they went out of their way to make the trip memorable. We would definitely go out with them again.
Response from Giles:
Hi Sarah, Thanks for taking the time to write a nice review about your experience with us here at Offspray. My crew enjoyed welcoming you on the boat and the trip was a pleasure for me to arrange. It was also nice to meet you before and after the trips at the marina. I hope you will have the opportunity to come and visit Phuket again soon! All the best, Giles & the Offspray team
Sabrina
Een fantastische dag op de privé speedboot. Het water was super helder en de kinderen vonden het snorkelen super leuk. De speedboat is groot genoeg voor 2 of 3 families en het personeel is erg behulpzaam en aardig. Ze waren geweldig met de kinderen. We hadden lunch op het strand met lekkere broodjes en natuurlijk een paar biertjes. Het was ongelofelijk te zien dat wij zowat de enige boot waren op de snorkel plekken, prima keuze van de Kaptein van de boot.

Dedf
Fantastic day out, the entire family loved every minute of it. Sightseeing around Phi Phi whilst it is so quiet is just amazing. The visibility was about 20 meters so the snorkeling was awesome, we could see everything from the surface. Staff were so attentive throughout the day, just made everything effortless for us. Cant wait to go again, Thank you Offspray.

Jeanine
Vielen Dank an Giles und Chris und den Rest des Offspray teams für einen unvergesslichen Tages Ausflug zu Koh Phi Phi! Mein Mann und ich haben das Boot privat gechartert für unsere Flitterwochen und es war ein unglaublich wundervoller Ausflug. Obwohl es August war und es in der regen Season war hatten wir super Wetter und wir konnten an abgelegenen Korallenriffen anhalten und die Farben Pracht der Fische und Umgebung wahrnehmen. Chris hatte eine Unterwasser Kamera und hat super tolle Fotos von uns unter Wasser gemacht. Auf dem Weg zu Phi Phi haben wir bei der Monkeyisland angehalten und die kleinen süßen Affen vom Boot aus mit Bananen gefüttert. Als wir auf Phi Phi ankamen hatte Chris uns gesagt wir sollten doch die Insel erkundigen und als wir zurück kamen hatte ein gourmet lunch/ Picknick am Strand nur für uns zwei auf uns gewartet! Es war so romantisch und das Essen war super köstlich und liebevoll zubereitet! Ich kann nur sagen, danke Team Offspray für einen Traum Tag und wenn wir zurück nach Phuket kommen werden wir wieder mit euch buchen.

Thomas
Well worth the money we spent. We initially were looking to do a group join in tour to the Phi Phi Islands but due to covid 19 this company was concentrating their business on private boat hire instead during these times which was understandable. We were a group of 6 guests and the price worked out to be not much more than what 6 of us would have paid if we had done a group join in trip. The big advantages were that we were the only ones on the boat along with the crew and they were super flexible about where we stopped for snorkeling and for how long. Our guide James knew a lot about the different types of fish and the islands and was easy going.We had a great day out
Response from Giles:
Dear Thomas, Just a short note to say thank you for joining us for a private speed boat charter while you were here in Phuket. Very glad to hear you had a great day. The trip was a pleasure for me to organise & I hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you back aboard our boat again in the future. Best Regards, Giles & the Offspray team
Gilbert
Our second private boat trip with Offspray and another very enjoyable day. My family were able to travel to Phuket for a few days aover the New year's holidays and took advantage of the cheap hotel packages on offer! This freed up the cash for a real treat....after having done a private boat rental through Offspray Leisure early last year(we had a great experience) my family was excited to do another trip to a different location. We looked at doing Phang Nga Bay as we heard the scenery is beautiful there but we decided on Racha Yai island and Laem Promthep Cape as the trip included more snorkeling and was better suited for us as we have young children. Beautiful islands and super clear blue water out at Racha Yai island with golden sandy beaches, it was like a paradise beach and exactly what one would see in a holiday magazine only with less people! Our guide took excellent care of our children in the water and made them feel comfortable snorkeling from the boat. We went island hopping before lunch on a 'private' beach at an island with a small Buddhist monastery on it. Beautiful. So glad we booked again with Offspray and we feel very comfortable booking with them again in the future.
Response from Giles:
Hi Gilbert, I am glad to hear you really enjoyed your trip on Offspray and we hope to see you out with us again in the future ;-) Best Regards, Giles & the Offspray team
Benzakonium
My wife and I made a last minute decision to head to Phuket over the Christmas period. The weather was great, so we decided to do another private speed boat trip from Phuket out to the surrounding islands with our favourite boat tour company Offspray Leisure. As always they were world class, offering great service with attention to detail, their staff, catering and itineraries are always excellent and this is why it is worth paying a bit more than some other operators. The islands were beautiful this time and we hardly saw another boat all day. We were lucky enough to see a pod of whales swimming on the way back from the islands on this trip. Thank you again to the Offspray Team for arranging the best day of our Christmas holiday.
Response from Giles:
Hi Benzakonium, Arranging your trips with Offspray is always a pleasure. I am glad to hear you really enjoyed this trip on Offspray as much as the previous ones you have done with us and we hope to see you out with us again in the future ;-) Best Regards, Giles & the Offspray team

Lovely fun family day we will remember for a long time. Very nice crew and super lovely lunch. The Phi Phi islands are the best!! You should come to visit this place if you come to Phuket. We highly recommend there service!!
Mary
Hi. I have used this company several times over the last 5/6 years. I’ve been diving for nearly 20 and this is by far the best charter dive/snorkeling company out there. Not only do they cater to your every needs from boarding time to when you get back to the pier. There experience and professionalism is flawless and so is their respect and care for our oceans, something rarely seen in some parts of the world. You get to see and visit places you might not be able to in bigger boats always minding the sea, the tides the environment. You hat to do you’re sport while also looking out for the environment. The Thai crew are very welcoming, and as I said top professionals and aware of all that goes on. The guides are some of the best in the industry both diving and snorkeling. And last but not least the food and beverages are amazing. Very detailed to each customers tastes. As I’ve said in the beginning, booked with Giles and his company many times and look foward to doing it again soon.Thank you offspray for always making my dive trips the best.
Response from Giles:
Hi Marta, It is aways a pleasure organising your private speed boat trips and we are very grateful that you use Offspray as your 'go to' company while you are here in Phuket, we really appreciated that you trust us to deliver safe, quality trips each and everytime you come out with us. We are looking forward to welcoming you back aboard once this Covid pandemic settles down. All the best, Giles & the Offspray crew
Tim
This was an area we have never explored before whilst in Phuket. Wish we had done as it is an area of outstanding beauty and Captain ''O'' and his happy crew showed us a wonderful full day up in the bay sightseeing and island hopping. Never a dull moment, this crew were easy going and fun to be around. Captain ''O'' clearly knew the area like it was his back garden and was able to show us so many places of interest including the ancient cave drawings, mangrove system, monkeys, isolated lagoons and a lovely little beach that our guide set up our private picnic lunch on.We brought along our own beers as no 7/11's up in the bay! (the crew kept them cool on ice for us). A really really nice day out and excellent value too: 10 out of 10 for service, location and value
Jimito
These guys do a great job and the snorkel equipment is pretty good quality. I would definitely recommend them for Phi Phi day trip.
Lucy
Ecellently organised trip out to the Phi Phi Islands. Felt well catered for from start to finish.....our children are fussy eaters but the chef arranged a delicious lunch for them which was not on the original menu. It felt like we were the only people out at Phi Phi during some parts of the day and the Captain and his crew did a good job at making sure we avoided the crowds. We were a group of 6 and had stacks of space on the boat to lye down or put our feet up. The cruising and scenery and the color of the water out at the islands was simply put "AMAZING". Thank you for making our private boat charter with you so enjoyable. We will be back ;-)
Gurwinder
We had great experience with Chris and team for our Phi Phi island tour. It was amazing how team helped me and my wife to experience snorkelling even when she was scared to do so. Would recommend them to everyone who want to tour Phi Phi Island.
Jenn
Such an amazing experience. Myself and 5 others did this excursion on a private speed boat and it was incredible! Wonderful guide (Chris from Texas!), great crew on the boat, amazing food and INCREDIBLE snorkeling! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Jerry
Our family of four including a 12 & 10 year old had a great day snorkelling and seeing the sights of Pi Pi islands. The boat had a small group of 13 passengers which was much more comfortable that other boats we saw. The smaller number of people didn’t scare away the fish and made getting on and off the boat stress free. We didn’t feel crowded in peak season. Our American guide (Ozzy by nature) Chris, was excellent and went above and beyond giving our son first aid to fix a deep cut from the rocks. Our boat stopped to help another who ran out of fuel on the way home & many of the other boats didn’t look so ship shape. They even had a beer ready for us at the end of the trip. You get what you pay for.
Josy5star
From start to finish this was an efficiently organised and fun filled day around Pi Pi Island. Our host Chris was knowledgeable and funny and the snorkelling equipment provided enabled us to enjoy some great coral and sea life. The location of the lunch stop was cool with delicious food! Great day and would highly recommend.
Christos
This tour was the highlight of our visit and it was exceptionally well executed. Chris and the rest of the team was just brilliant and professional. I can highly recommend if you want a snorkeling trip to Phi Phi Island.
Liz
What a wonderfully fun and relaxing day with Sean and his crew. I have snorkeled all over the world and Phi Phi Islands has some of the best! Thanks to Giles for his prompt and helpful communication, which made planning our visit from half way around the world easy!
BH
Spend the day with Chris and the crew and it couldn’t of been a more memorable trip. Giles is quick to help and respond with any questions you might have. Will be back for sure. Boat is big enough that even on choppy water you don’t really feel much. Was a blast, don’t think, just do it you won’t be sorry.
Jackie
Fun trip my wife and I did together while visiting Thailand. We were planning on going to Phi Phi, but The owner recommended Phang Nga due to stronger winds. Glad we took his advice because it would’ve been a bumpy ride to Phi Phi, however Phang Nga was a nice and smooth ride with great scenery and stunning views from start to finish. The crew was professional, the food was great and the water was so warm it felt like a bathtub! We enjoyed the trip and quite liked the Phang Nga option. Next visit we’ll look at doing Phi Phi. Last but not least we like to thanks Chris the on board crew for his warm hospitality while we on board the ship for the whole Journey. Do hope that our next trip Chris will be onboard too
Joann
Excellent! We had so much fun on this trip. Kids enjoyed the snorkeling and jumping off the front of the boat. We enjoyed the scenery and taking photos. Our guide was a lot of fun as was able to show our kids lots of cool stuff underwater. Great daytrip and will do this trip again for sure next time we visit Phuket
Brooke
So happy we booked this excursion. It was the highlight of our time in Phuket! Our guide Chris was down to earth and so nice. After arriving at the dock and picking up beers, we were guided past the crowds to our private speedboat. The boat was really nice and comfortable. They had sandwiches and fruit from a local deli for us to enjoy. We were a group of 4, and there was another couple that joined us. Making us a group of 6. Chris said they only do small group tours of 12 or less. So if you are looking to avoid crowds, ferries, and cattle call situations on your vacation consider booking this tour. It was a 45 minute ride or so to the islands. We made several stops throughout the day. We saw most of the phi phi islands, monkey beach, and we were able to snorkel with baby sharks. It was incredible. We stopped at the largest island for lunch at a local bar made out of bamboo. They had noodles, charcuterie, salad, fruit, sushi, amongst other things for us to enjoy. The ride back was a little bumpy but Chris sliced us up some mango and watermelon which made it all better lol. Thanks again guys for a wonderful day. The memories we made are priceless.
Jani
Me and my friends chartered the boat (total of 9 of us) and we had a great time. Clean boat, great crew and lots of laughs throughout the day. We stopped at several different islands and had some nice snorkeling stops. I’m a diver and the guide is also, so he was able to show us good spots with different kinds of marine life. Good food and lots of different stuff to drink on the boat throughout the day. The pier was a little chaotic in the mornings, but we got on with the trip pretty quickly and had a great day.
Marcia
Can't say enough good things about our day trip to Phi Phi. The islands were so beautiful (and peaceful). Our Guide Chris was excellent in the water with our children and made sure that we were all comfortable on the boat between the sea crossings. Great knowledge of the islands and stories about Phi Phi were told during the day. Our Captain 'Mr O' was excellent handling the boat and were all felt very safe during the day. So much to see during out day : highlights included monkeys on the beach (and one on the boat!), baby sharks near the beach, scool or tropical fish and a turtle that swam with us during our 2nd snorkeling stop. This is a great Phi Phi islands trip !
Kym
Thanks Giles, Steve and the crew - was a fantastic experience, away from the crowds, great local knowledge and all. We were blown away by the service and friendly team, great food and the snorkelling locations suggested were amazing, Kym
Kate
We were in Phuket with a big group for just 10 days and booked a boat trip twice with you guys (Racha Islands and Phang Nga Bay). We had two amazing and unforgettable days. When we travel to Phuket again, we will book another trip for sure. Special thanks to Chris and the boat crew. You guys have been wonderful and we had a good laugh! Hope to see you all in the future again.
Kelly
We had such an amazing time on this trip! So glad that we forked out the extra cash to go with someone that takes smaller groups on a faster boat. Chris was the best guide ever; he looked after everyone so well, had great banter with us and kept us fed and very well hydrated (good shout telling us to get some beers before we set off!) We had a really amazing time and this was definitely a huge highlight of our trip. When we find ourselves back in Phuket we will definitely be seeing you again! A bajillion stars!
Fred
One of the best excursions I’ve ever done in my life. I went with a group of 13 other individuals and we had an absolutely incredible time. From friendly and helpful staff to some of the most secluded and beautiful areas ever. Everything was easy, convenient, in fact, it exceeded everyone’s expectations. Giles is a great person who went above and beyond. Highly recommend and looking forward to next years adventure! We will be back!
Eric
Giles was a pleasure to work with! He even set up our trip 2 days before and spoke with me several times after hours to make sure all of my questions were answered. Our Guide Chris was world class. He made sure we were well taken care of and enjoying ourselves all day. The boat team took us to several spots that were stunning. I highly recommend this for groups to have a one of a kind private adventure !
Jeremy
Chris was an excellent guide as we traveled to and around the phi phi islands. He was knowledgeable, taught us about specific fish, baby sharks and jelly fish species, resourceful, had a pack of Dramamine available and was quite fun to be around! Thanks for your service Chris!
AussieS5Richard
The first was so good, we booked again our next trip back to Thailand. Service, food, itinerary was first class. Thanks again Gules and Chris.
Annamaria
We booked the Phi Phi island group tour and had a truly fantastic day. We were a smallish group of 14 people and were taken care of by our amazing guide Chris, a wonderful captain and two other lovely crew members. Besides the Phi Phi "musts" we stoped at different snorkling sites where we could observe colorful fish, sealife and living beautiful corals. It was lovely to see! Especially after doing a similar trip around Krabi where we found the corals dead and the sealife almost non-existent. The lunch on our own "private" beach was a treat. And yes, it is possible to avoid the crowds :)... A highlight to our trip to Phuket. Thank you Giles and team for an awesome experience and keep up the good work!
Experience418869
Our family of four (including two daughters aged 10 and 13) had an incredible day visiting the Racha Islands. Giles was very easy to work with in arranging our trip. Chris and Paula were our guides; Chris knows all of the islands like the back of his hand and Paula was a great underwater guide and photographer for our family. The food and drink were delicious and plentiful; the snorkeling and private beaches were incredible. I highly recommend this amazing adventure!
Annscapes
This is a professional team committed to service, safety and excellence in Thailand.Our boat driver clearly knew the local waters and delivered us safely to each point and home. Crew kept an eagle eye on us, looking out for every guest. Our Guide Chris, has a wonderful local knowledge and good stories to keep us occupied on the boat. Boat maintenance excellent. Pick up from your accommodation included. So much to see and the kids had a ball. Will be going again when we return to Thailand.

This was the best day we had while we were in Phuket. Small group on our tour (around 14 people in total) really nice and knowledgeable guide, helpful staff and kind owner who did all the organising for the trip and even came to see us after the trip (he obviously cares about his Guests expereince! Perfect locations away from the masses and also clear blue water with nice snorkeling gear provided for free. We even got to swim with a turtle, how cool is that! Worth paying the extra because you will get what you pay for. Great expereince!

We loved our trip. So well organised, lovely sites and excellent with the kids. The staff could not have been more helpful.

Me and my girlfriend went on a daytrip snorkeling arround Phi Phi and other islands in the area. This was a very good experience. Everything was planed very well, and we felt that we had just the right amount of time at the different locations. Our guide was from Texas and did a fantastic job the whole day. But the best thing was the limited number of people on the boat , and the fact that they took us to a couple of diving locations where there was no other people in the water. We would differently take a tour with these guys again! We feel that we got a MUCH better tour, then the people we saw on our way, crammed in to bigger speedboats with 30 or 40 other!

5 stars does not do the day we had with Chris justice. Giles the owner is top notch from responding immediately to my many questions before booking to meeting us on the dock to send us off and greet us on our return. Chris and his crew of 2 made our day the best day we have ever had as a family on any vacation! The entire day was flawless and seamless. The lunch that was provided was truly gourmet. Chris was amazing the entire day and even wrapped our day up with finding a turtle to snorkel with. Hands down the best way to spend your day. Thanks to Chris and the crew we avoided any crowds and truly felt like we had the Phi Phi islands all to ourselves. This trip is a must!!!!!

I booked the Phi Phi island tour for my family - including my two kids. From the outset, Giles and team were proactive in addressing questions, communicating logistics, and making sure no questions went unanswered. The day itself was great - Chris and the rest of the crew were consummate professionals, looked after all of the guests, provided great commentary, and most importantly took us to great snorkeling and swimming spots. I appreciated that they kept us away from the incredibly crowded places (e.g., Maya Beach) and provided us with plenty of refreshments and a good lunch. The day was well organized, fun, and certainly a highlight of our visit to Phuket. Afterwards Giles and his team recommended places for us to visit with our kids and helped to ensure that we understood appropriate taxi fares to be paid. Thank you to Giles and his team for a fabulous experience!
Sebastian
These guys are highly recommended. I met both Chris and Giles, and they are just really great friendly guys, and they just want you to feel amazing. It happened that my mother in law had her birthday in the day of the trip, so they surprised us with a cake for her birthday. We had lunch and cake and sang 'Happy birthday' on the beach in the Phi Phi islands. She was impressed to tears. An amazing memory to be sure.

Where do I even begin! From the get-go, Giles was extremely attentive as we booked two days before our trip - his response time was incredible! He made booking our trip very easy. As soon as we got to the port, we instantly knew that our trip was going to be very different from others that were on offer, due to the small group size that we were with. While other trips can pack on up to 40 people per boat, we were definitely more comfortable with a much smaller group of 16. Chris was extremely friendly, and offered us first class service from the start to the end. As you can imagine, some of the touristy spots in Phi Phi can be very busy, and whilst we did drive past them, including Maya Beach, Chris was able to take us to some more secluded areas of the islands that are much less known. Because of this, we were able to swim with a sea turtle, baby sharks and some incredible fish, as well as have lunch on a beautiful beach on our own. Massive thank you again Chris, Giles and the rest of the crew! We will definitely be back! Sam and Peter :)
Alex
I think everything has been stated before (trip, stops, food service). Awesome! also, they know how to take care of details! if you’re looking for a snorkel trip out of Phuket to Phi Phi, book with them. Great staff, locations, boat not overcrowded, you name it...
Zizi
First rate start to finish! From the initial communication with Giles, the wonderful attentive service from Ned, Nicky and the Thai crew it went so smooth. Our every need was looked after and we appreciated their obvious care for the environment at all the places we stopped.. packing out even the tiniest piece of plastic. Lunch was wonderful and would book again in a heartbeat.
Christina
My family and I arranged a private tour to Phang Nga Bay. The tour was excellent and the guide, Chris, was awesome. The boat was very nice, the staff was incredibly friendly, the boat was stocked with water and pop, there were breakfast items to munch on, and the lunch on the private beach was out of this world! The sites were beautiful but the personalized touches to the day tour made the difference. I highly recommend this tour for groups and families. They were easy to work with, revised the itinerary as I requested, and picked us up from the cruise pier. Great tour and people.
Sharon
will definitely do it again, great experience!! my very first time doing but i enjoyed every sec of it
Katrina
The best way to see Phi Phi. Small group, awesome crew and great crew. Could not fault in any way. A highlight of the trip.
Mowens
This was by far the best thing we did in Phuket. Everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Our guide for the day, Chris was fun and knowledgeable. It was just me and my finance on the boat and Chris knew when to give us plenty of information about the islands and have a laugh and a joke but also when to give us time alone to soak up and enjoy the moment. Phang Nga Bay is simply amazing and is the most beautiful place you'll ever see from the water. We traveled through lagoons, mangroves, island hopped, visited caves, checked out a pearl farm and a floating village. We did so much but never felt rushed at all throughout the day. Lunch on a seculded beach was tops and having a wine bucket with wine and ice along with a mobile speaker system to listen to our favorite tunes was the icing on the cake. Ridiculously good service at a very reasonable price. Bravo!!!
Ilsev
We booked for a full day of beach, snorkel and fun in December.... it was super! Chris was a wonderful and very professional guide. The food was amazing. Giles is also very helpful. I would definitely would recommend them!
Ile
Tutto perfetto Barca , pranzo , equipaggio! Peccato che queste isole siano ormai prese d’assalto da miriadi di turisti , per cui la naturalezza delle isole stesse ormai non esiste più Barche affollate , moltissima gente Ma il trasporto è stato perfetto , ottimo il pranzo, puntualissimi e gentili Lo consiglio
Chirag
Great professional guys running an awesome operation. We were given good gear n great vegetarian food options. Great for jain food. Lots of water, soda n fruits on board. Great pick up n drop off options from Patong beach to the pier. As for the tour its well planned with enough time to get in 3 snorkelling sessions. Chris, our guide was very knowlegeable and knew good spots n how to avoid crowds. The boat we travelled was very nice and even has a restroom on board. I wish Giles n his team my very best!!
Chirag
Είναι πραγματικό τέλεια εμπειρία όπου έχεις την δυνατότητα να κολυμπήσεις σε μαγευτικά νερά να δεις υπέροχα πολύχρωμα ψάρια και γύρο γύρο τα τροπικά πράσινα μέρη όπου σε παραπέμπουν ότι βρίσκεσαι σε έναν τροπικό παραδυσο .
Leanie
Exceptionally special snorkelling trip. Chris and crew went the extra mile to make the day memorable. Lovely food! Lovely people!
Soibhone
Chris was a most entertaining and knowledgeable host, the crew were professional and friendly. From the moment I contacted Giles, I knew I had nothing to worry about. The food was truly delicious and more than enough and we just had the best fun snorkelling, swimming and relaxing in the speed boat. Thanks guys you made both our Australian and Brazilian family feel at ease.
Linh
Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for hiring a private speed boat while in Phuket. From the initial inquiry, pick up at the hotel, the full day trip on the boat, the amazing snorkelling stops along the way (we even saw sharks!) -One word would be AMAZING!! Many thanks to Giles, Chris & the team!
delphine
We choose the Phi Phi islands trip based on all the recommendations and we were not disappointed. It is such an exoctic place to visit compared to were we live back in Europe. Never seen anything like the scenry we saw here! Huge multi colored cliffs towering out of the ocean and turcoise blue water to dive into....simply does not get any better than this! You can be sure that the crew will take care of you while on the trip and are offering drinks and snacks throughout the day. We were treated to a delcious Western/Asian style buffet at lunch time on a dmall beach away from most of the other boats (I could have stayed there for a week!) We saw an array of tropical fish that you have to go to the aquarium to see back home. This trip ticked all the boxes and we absolutely loved it! If you are visiting Phuket then put this one on your list of things to do.
Kieron
We had a great snorkelling trip in August 2017 with my partner and my two children (11 and 8). The whole day was well organised with plenty of variety to keep everyone interested. We visited the monkeys, two snorkelling locations, and had an excellent lunch on the beach. And we enjoyed the exhilarating speed boat ride to Phi Phi. I was particularly impressed with the boat's captain who handled the boat with great expertise through some fairly rough seas (I have an RYA commercial Yacht Master qualification and have owned power boats for 17 years so i feel qualified to judge!). The boat crew were polite and attentive to our needs at all times. Thank you to Chris, Giles and the crew for a great day out.
Jiesin
We booked one of the one day packages to Phi Phi. We are a family of 5, with 3 young boys and we all had a wonderful time. Snorkelling spots were chosen to accommodate the kids, the food was great, and overall very professional.
Andrew
Private Charter was great. Scenic, relaxing, great breakfast and lunch provided, great crew and everything was looked after. Definitely be back again as offered value for money.. compared to others. Thanks guys.
Sandrine
J ai adorè cette sortie j en garde un fabuleux souvenir, la journee est memorable on decouvre plusieurs iles on en prends les yeux l appareil photo chauffe tellement c est magnifiqueeee!!!! Cette sortie est geniale tres bon accueil l equipe sympatique
Tim
This was one of, if not the highlight of our trip. Excellent guide (Chris) and couldnt have been more courteous and helpful with where to go and leading us through the snorkeling adventures as well and pointing out the various fish and wildlife. The boat was great, new motors and completely safe. Thanks for a great time.
Mike
Had an amazing time!! Highly recommended and hope to be back! Travelling to the Phi Phi Islands was amazing and even had our 18 month old with us!! Thank you!! Mike, Tonia and Baby Hugo from Toronto, Canada
Dida
Very good trip out snorkelling, food was nice and Chris the tour guide was amazing. Good banter, and also professional.
James
We booked a private tour with Giles for 8 people to go snorkelling at Phi Phi Islands. Found the tour group leader Chris and the Thai boat crew to be extremely friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend to any bigger family groups who are looking to go to Phi Phi!
Scott
This was an amazing day from start to finish Giles had amazing communication to let you know what was happening the day it self was amazing swimming with sharks and was basically like being in a aquarium the American guide Chris was fantastic and had a good sense of humour they also respect the place unlike a lot of the other operators here
Fitzpatrick
The staff were all super friendly, gave you lots of time to snorkel and when asked they showed us where the best spots were to see all the colourful fish. It was really relaxing and enjoyable.
kimmy
I booked this trip for my husband and I due to the high reviews, and even with our high expectations, we were not disappointed! It was an amazing day out and the staff were amazing. I booked the week before we were to arrive in Thailand, and they were already booked out but Giles was able to shuffle some things around and get us on the boat on our preferred day. The day was great, with great food and great snorkelling. The fish are plentiful and at times swam only centimetres away from our masks! Highlight of our trip!
Ralf
Tag på turen, hvis I vil slippe væk fra alle andre turister. På turen blev vi mødt af Giles, Chris og deres Crew. De var allesammen meget flinke og gjorde at stemningen hurtigt blev afslappet og hyggelig. Vi snorklede 3 forskellige steder, som alle var væk fra store flokke med turister. Maden, som var rigtig lækkert, blev serveret på et lille stykke "strand", hvor vi var alene. Det er den bedste og hyggeligste tur, som vi nogensinde har været på.
Stephanie
Superior communications by Giles the owner who managed to get us on our last available day when our original booking had to be cancelled due to heavy seas. That so impressed me because other companies would probably have not told us until we arrived at the port. The Captain, crew and in particular Chris our host for the day were fantastic. All 3 snorkeling locations were excellent and away from the hordes and the location for our impressive scrumptious lunch on a secluded small beach was a real treat. The boat although small was large enough for the 15 guests on our trip and Chris our host was continually offering us free soft drinks. This is by far the quickest and best way to get out to the Phi Phi Islands. Having said that if you're not into snorkeling or you don't like fast boats that can be a little bumpy, then best you go for a one of the more boring larger boat excursions with all the none seafaring hordes!
LeeAnn
I went on their Phi Phi Island day trip last week. Great trip, well organized, fantastic team. We had some rough waters, so the crew made a stop at a smaller island before going on to Phi Phi, which had great snorkeling. The boat trip was very rocky and I wound up with a ton of sea water in my snorkel, but that's all weather based. It was a great trip, and I'd recommend this for anyone, but if you get motion sickness, realize that this is a speed boat and if they water is choppy, the ride is going to be unpleasant, but still worth it.
Chrystal
We booked a private chartered boat for our family. There were 10 of us. Oldest 80yrs - youngest 8yrs. They accommodated us perfectly. Great knowledge of the seas and weather patterns. We got to snorkel throughout the day at numerous locations around the islands, got to see Monkeys on monkey island and last but not least, we had an amazing buffet lunch on a private beach!!! All inclusive with our booking. Brilliant day out.
Ozjimbo
If you go to Phuket you need to do a day tip to Phi Phi island. It's a bit of travel to get to the wharf and then the boat to the islands. The best part is when everyone gets out and you can snorkel and the fish are so colourful and close up. If you not good on boats take the sea sick tablets they offer them to you
Lisa
Excellent excursion exploring Phi Phi Islands. Everything ran smoothly, promptly, professionally and comfortably. Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable about the islands, the best snorkeling spots, and other hilights of this beautiful paradise. He even took us snorkeling around the one of the islands to see Black Tip reef sharks, which we did!! The small group and delightful lunch on the beach of one of the islands made the entire experience that much more incredible and memorable. Thank you Giles, Chris and crew for a spectacular experience.
Travelislife65
If you are a couple looking for a private charter to the Islands then do yourself a favour and go with these guys. What a crew . Chris is exceptional. Took us away from the crowds whilst also seeing the major sights .. The food is awesome. Make sure you get the Thai menu!! Can't want to see you guys again next year
Hallosunsun
I would like to thank Giles and his crew (Chris) for such an amazing experience. Loved the fact that we got to the island faster than any other boat which meant longer snorkeling and more island hoping. I really enjoyed the food and the amazing fruit that was given towards the end of the trip. Chris and his team were very very accommodating and made sure I was ok throughout the whole trip as I experienced some sea sickness. I also want to give a shout out to Captian Boo. He prevented someone from getting their Iphone destroyed in the water because he remembered the gentlemen putting in his pocket and reminded him to take it out before he was about to get in water. I realized that I was so lucky to have a crew that was not only experienced but had ninja like skills!
Mark
my wife and i we had a really nice snorkeling.the crew taking care us so well and very professional.we had great time in paradise call Phi Phi island.thank you
Aizheke
Снорклингом занимались во время двухдневной поездки на острова, наш катер приплыл почти к берегу и остановился, нам выдали маски и жилеты, опустились в воду и когда я опустила лицо в воду я была в восторге, это такая красота, такой богатый подводный мир, столько рыбок, столько коралл я в жизни ещё не видела, даже во время дайвинга на острове Хайнань я не ощущала такого, рыбок кормить не раздрешают, ногами вставать на кораллы тоже, оказывается нам повезло, что мы попали на отлив и все было близко, рукой можно было дотронуться, эти нереальные ощущения до сих пор сохранились, если бы у меня были огромные и длинные руки, я бы обняла все Андаманское море...
Intarazm
We went to 5 places, 3 snorkel, 2 beaches one for sightseeing (monkey island) and one for lunch. Best of all is that out crew took us to the most "private" parts of Phi Phi Islands you could get. So instead of 10 other boats around you there were 1 or 2. Still great places, lots of fish we even saw black tip sharks !!!!
Prabeyaratne
Fabulous experience. For the first time or the regular snorkeler. Secluded location. Highly recommend it. Racha islands.
Jean-Paul
I went last month got to meet Giles and Chris. They are great! Chris took my friends and I to the many wonders of Thailand and needless to say we had a blast! -JP
Alan
We booked with Giles for a family day out (fishing , snorkelling etc) in July 2016. It was the middle of the wet season but we were lucky to strike a good day a had a fantastic day out, there were 14 of us in the group and everybody enjoyed it. From when we got on the boat to a freshly cooked breakfast to arriving back 8 hours later Giles was the perfect host. If you have a group of 12 or more it seemed that hiring Giles's boat was much the same cost per person as going on one of the bulk speedboat trips , and just so much better (having been on a bulk trip in the past). Alan (NZ)
Sleepyd
A great day out. Giles, the owner, promised us a first class day and delivered on his promises in every way. Great breakfast sandwiches a sumptuous lunch on one of the quietest beaches where we were the only people. The Captain and his mate really understand the waters and made our trip to the island comfortable considering the sea conditions. Having an experienced crew is so important. The crew were concerned for our safety at all times. The boat is well looked after and maintained. Our guide for the day was Chris. What a character. He joined in our family fun and was without doubt an honorary member of the family for the day. He knows the area well and ensured our safety. My three girls enjoyed the day and he made sure that were comfortable at all times. The icing on the cake was that Chris came in swimming with us and took his own camera. He took many pictures of the day and at the end of it downloaded the pictures to our iPhones. A really nice touch that we very much appreciated. When we are back in Phuket we will definitely using their services again.The price is higher than going on group trips but you just cannot compare. We got a service tailored to our needs.
Sealcraig
From our first contact with Giles and the team, they were first class. Quick and clear communication. Everything was mapped out and made obvious to us all what was included and what we would need. We hired the excellent speedboat for the day for our group of 8 (mix of adults and kids) We got picked up and dropped off from our villa, then met our host for the day. Chris was our host and was first class, very knowledgeable and a good laugh. He had excellent knowledge on the marine life that we did and could see whilst snorkelling - and took some wonderful photos for us to keep. The stops were tailored around us and the captain and helper knew the area so well and kept us all safe (which is the most important part) The lunch was superb and we enjoyed it on a small beach (we were the only ones) that was located in Pileh Cove which was paradise. Everything went well from start to finish and I can't recommend them enough.
Fraser
I wanted to do something special for the full family on this trip and read the best way to see the Phi Phi island group was to book a private charter because you get the whole boat and flexibility to adapt your trip at the time. Obviously this is best suited to larger groups or those who are happy spending a bit more - but if you are reading this review and all the others then you are already thinking about it! From the moment I made my first query to Giles to the moment we stepped off the boat after the amazing trip, customer service from Giles and the team was exceptional. Giles provided flexible options and all the information I required at my initial enquiry. He was very quick to respond to emails while I was planning the trip and called to confirm details when we arrived in Phuket. His team were very professional and very accommodating. Big thank you to Chris (our guide) and Beer (awesome name) and the Captain and Chief Mate (Sorry, I forgot their names!). Transfers were great and on time, the Thai buffet lunch we had on our own secluded beach was extremely tasty, beautiful selection and extras for the kids which went down well. Chris, our guide, also spent a significant amount of time in and under the water capturing the moments for us all on their underwater camera which they gave to us at the end - fantastic addition we were not expecting. All in all it was an amazing, memorable day and a brilliant day out for the family of all ages. Do it!

Taking a speedboat out to the islands is a must when you are in Phuket! We only had 3 days in Phuket and wanted to see as much as possible and we were not disappointed with what we saw. The islands(Phang Nga Bay)was sensational and for once looked better than the postcards you see in the souvenir shops! There was so much to see and do up there and the crew made it possible in such a way that the day was not rushed. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the cave exploring with torches as well as the kayaking. Lunch was set up on a lovely little sandy beach(although there were quite a lot of shells)picnic style buffet which was delicious and the king prawns in tamarind sauce were to die for! We would have gone on the boat again if it were not for the lack of time and we would highly recommend this boat trip for families looking for a unique experience.
Lorenzo
We had a private tour of the Phi Phi Islands with Chris as our guide and it was amazing! Very organized, good food, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.
Marie
We did a day trip to PP and they took us to do snorkeling over there the visibility was just perfect and the team and operation was amazing I have nothing bad to say about this place highly recommend
Jenn
Giles was super organized and kept frequent communication. The captain and crew were just as great! Would definitely recommend them
Inder
We did a snorkeling trip to Phi Phi Island with Giles, owner. I must say it was the highlight of our trip. There is not one wrong this I could say about this trip. Giles offered us a private charter since our group size was 12. The morning of our trip we were introduced to Tony and his crew which took care of us for the whole day. They were very knowledgable of the area. They took us to all the Phi Phi Islands, a great spot for snorkeling and took care of every single minute detail. We were provided with breakfast sandwiches, fancy thai lunch on the lagoon, fruit platter and ample time to snorkel around. Did I mentioned we got to snorkel with baby sharks!! - Highly Recommended!
David
We were on a cruise and contacted Giles in advance to plan an excursion from the ship for my wife and I and a couple we were traveling with. He planned a private trip for the four of us to Phang Nga Bay from Phuket. We were picked up from the ship without problem and brought to the pier where his associate Chris met us, and took us to the boat and introduced us to the crew. We sailed to Rang Yai Island for some swimming and a visit to pearl farm shop. Then onto Phang Nga Bay where we saw the so-called James Bond Island, did some snorkeling in the bay, and went to a private cove for a Thai lunch (which had been cooked by Giles' wife) and a tour of a cave. A cruise back to the dock where Giles greeted us and we said good-by to Chris before transferring back to our ship. Overall, we had a wonderful and memorable day.
Cheryl
We went as a family on a day trip to Phi Phi islands. My husband dives and did 2 along with Tony the guide. i stayed on board with our 3 kids, 9 and 7 years with the captain. Giles met us before we boarded and explained the day and then we were off. We had the international lunch, amazing. Mrs Giles is an excellent chef. We loved every minute, the kids and i went snorkelling. Myself and the captain went a little further afield and spotted 3 sharks and a turtle. The kids saw lots of fish. They also enjoyed being on the beach for lunch and seeing the monkeys. overall an excellent day, Tony was a great guide and was great fun but also professional. My husband enjoyed the dives and its a great day out. Thank you to Giles, Tony, Captain, Captains mate and Mrs Giles.
Melissa
This is a must do while visiting Phuket!! We booked last minute and Giles got everything together quickly so that we could sit back and take in the beauty of Phuket and the surrounding islands. We had twelve people in our group and we all fit comfortably on the boat. Snorkeling gear was provided and I was able to snorkel for the first time in my life. It was so awesome!! A fabulous lunch was included in our outing which just made the day even more spectacular. I loved Thailand and this was one of the best parts of my trip. I would definitely recommend booking with Giles. If I am ever so lucky to return, I will be doing this again for sure!!
Aschley
We loved it! Giles and Tony were terrific. Great snorkeling, a lovely buffet lunch on a deserted beach...they even provided a surprise wedding cake for us since we were on our honeymoon. We just smiled the entire day. Truly, if you are going to spend money on anything while in Thailand, let it be a day out on a boat with these guys. Money well spent and great lifetime memories. Richard and Ashley Clinton.
Dolly
These guys are the best!We went out with them last year for diving and sightseeing around the Phi Phi Islands and it was the highlight of our holiday.This time we had 12 in our group and wanted something a little different where we could visit someislands but no scuba diving.Giles the owner suggested Phang-Nga Bay.It was the highlight of our short stay-exploring the caves with flashlight,swimming in the lagoons,kayaking around the limestone islands and the lunch stop location was amazing.Snorkeled at a small isalnd with the kids in the afternoon which was a nice end to the day. Giles the owner uses a really nice boat and has a first class guide and crew onboard.First class all the way!Keep up the great work!
Marie
We had such an amazing trip. Tony and the crew were great. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my last day in Thailand. Thank you!
David
The staff was great and really looked out for our wellbeing. great for couples who want something fun but low key and non touristy. we traveled to the popular places as well as locations not as popular because bigger tourist boats can't make it. at one point we had our own island beach for lunch! Also the lunch served was superb and tasty. wonderful accommodations and amenities on the boat with functioning snorkeling gear. we went for our honeymoon and had a phenomenal time. Thank you to Bruno, Chris, Tony, Giles, and the two boat staff!
Ceccoshani
Amazing tour! Communication from the start was great and fast. Giles was great answering all our questions and very helpful guiding us through the right tour choice. The day of the tour everything went smooth and it was fabulous! Our guide, Chris, was GREAT!!!! We had so much fun! We visited Phi Phi Islands and we got to see many beaches. We had plenty of drinks on the boat and a great lunch on one of the paradise beaches. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Chiara
Our guides were very nice, the food excellent. They chose the best places for us, like gispy bay, maya bay, viking cave. It was a fun day! The price is slightly higher than others, but I think it's totally worth it, I highly recommended it!
Colleen
Was one of the best activities we did while in Thailand! Chris was our guide and went above and beyond to make it enjoyable for everyone! We went to Phi Phi islands and one of the things I liked was the extras they did. Chris explained about attractions such as where bird nests are harvested, and even how to be safe around a monkey. It was also great that they gave us bananas to give to the monkeys, I didn't see other tours around us giving their guests food to feed them. He also tossed bread into the water while we snorkeled so the fish would group around us..got some great pictures. Would highly recommend spending a bit more, instead of doing the cheaper tours, you completely get what you pay for! We're hoping to come back to Thailand next year and we would love to go on another tour with them!
Jack
This trip was definitely one of the highlights of my time in Thailand. Not only was the snorkeling amazing, but Tony, Chris and the crew did everything they could to ensure we had a great time. Top notch!
Jason
Perfect from start to finish!!!!!!!!!!!! Very professional team, food was great and well presented on our private beach. Book now - you will not be disappointed.
vipi0017
Well the trip to phuket is incomplete without a trip to Phi phi . The views enroute are just amazing & you stop for a while for snorkelling , amazing , then you have lunch on the beach ,incredible & later you have time to visit some of the most beautiful white sandy beaches . WOW
Lisa
We knew about these guys through word of mouth from friends who have used them several times. They swear by using them every time they visit Phuket so we were confident they would show us a good day and we were not wrong. Because we hired the boat for ourselves we were able to leave a little later and get back later which suited us perfectly. The Captain and our guide did a great job of taking an unusual route around the Phi Phi islands to avoid the crowds. The beach we set up lunch on was to die for, towering limestone cliffs and palm trees with pwder white sand and nobody else there but us. Private boat rental allows you to personalize your day much more than being on a group tour and we have an amazing time with the crew.
Deborah
Taking into consideration the weather which was not great we had the most amazing day with these guys. The captain showed us around the bay as if he was showing us around his own back garden and knew every nook and cranny! Also our guide Mr.Oak was great, sharing funny stories with us and providing good service throughout the day including torches for the caves which we explored which were very interesting. Loved the stalactites formations and lagoons! If you are visiting Phuket and the weather does not look so good then a private speedboat to Phang Nga bay is the place to go.
Comfort
The private speed boat route is the way to go! Tony took us to some amazing locations and really made the experience one that I will never forget. Lunch was delicious and oh don't forget your bug spray and make sure you have a back up battery for your camera because you'll want to capture every moment!!
Laure
Nous avons privatisé pendant 3 jours un speedboat pour 5 plongeurs, c'était genial. Rien à redire! Et surtout nous vous conseillons de prédire l'option repas, c'est cuisine maison par la femme du patron et c'est délicieux. Côté plongee, c'est top, mes remerciements à notre moniteur Toni
Jacqi
This was the highlight of our trip to Phuket! The guys on the boat were great! Very fun and personable! The beaches they took us to and the snorkeling we did was a lot of fun! The food was really good also and they had plenty of refreshments for the entire day. They even had fruit as a snack that they cut up for us towards the end of the trip. If you're looking for activities to do this is a must!! Very enjoyable.
Brad
The guys from the English guys to the local captain and first mate were more than accommodating. They took us to some great spots for snorkeling. The lunch provided by the captain was delicious!!! This group is highly recommended!!!! I would use them again!!!
Coralie
Nous avons passé 3 jours formidables de plongée sous marine. L'équipage est super. Nous avons plongé avec Tony qui nous a très bien encadré. Les sites de plongée sont très bien choisis. Tout le monde était aux petits soins pour nous. Le repas de midi sur la plage ou à bord du bateau (selon la marée) était très bon. L'organisation est super et très adaptable : un taxi venait nous chercher à l'hôtel le matin pour nous amener au port et nous ramenait le soir. A conseiller +++.

Заказали этот тур и остались очень довольны! Провели целый день, наслаждаясь,солнцем, морем и красотами Пхи Пхи.Веселые тайские парни привезли нас в потрясающие безлюдные бухты, где мы ныряли с маской и трубкой, затем был вкусный обед. Вернулись домой уставшими, но счастливыми.
