Phuket, Thailand is a very popular holiday destination for many different types of tourists. From the young adults looking to party hard late into the night in Patong. Luxury travelers looking to stay in a stunning villa on the hills of Phuket overlooking the Andaman Sea.

Today we are looking at what are the best 5 Star Marine Phuket boat tours for families.

Just to clarify our definition of families. Yes, of course, we know that a “family” could be many different things, but for this blog and video, we are defining families as anyone with children under 12.

So, let’s look at what are the best private boat Tours for Families.

Khai Islands, Phuket

When looking for an easy, close-by island day trip that is good for families, snorkelling, and relaxing on the beach you can’t beat the Khai Islands.

These three islands are very close together and are accessible in only 15 to 20 minutes from the 5 Star Marine pier at Boat Lagoon.

The Khai Islands are made up of 3 separate islands:

• Khai Nai
• Khai Nau
• Khai Nok

These Islands are especially good for beginner snorkellers as they offer the opportunity to snorkel straight off the beach and experience a plethora of tropical fish.

Each of the three Islands offers something slightly different for you to experience

Nothing compares to seeing dolphins in their natural habitat, and getting the opportunity to witness them in the wild is a spectacular experience.

Maiton Island is not just a place to see Phuket dolphins you can also go snorkeling there as well. There is nothing like jumping off a boat for young kids to make them feel alive, and to be fair, adults should do it to. Once you have jumped off the underwater world comes to life.
