Leisure Experience Full Day Program

With a custom Phang Nga Bay tour, 5 Star Marine will guide you around hidden coves and lagoons, as well as stopping off at the iconic James Bond island which became a major attraction after featuring in the 1974 Bond movie, The Man With The Golden Gun.

Phang Nga truly is one of natures’ spectacular works of art; where the vast karst rock scenery presents a visually stunning location. In fact, with the sheer number of unique formations, you could explore here for days. However please note this is not for those looking to go snorkelling. This trip is all about the seascapes, canoeing, caving and exploring.

5 Star Marine runs a respectful dolphin spotting programme which can be tailored to your requirements. They offer a combination dolphin spotting experience at Mai Ton Island by adding on a trip to Coral Island or the Khai Islands.

At 5 Star Marine, we understand that nothing compares to seeing dolphins in their natural habitat, and getting the opportunity to witness them in the wild is a spectacular experience. So, our dolphin spotting tour gives you the chance to potentially see a pod of dolphins breaching out of the waves and as naturally inquisitive creatures, they often come right up and swim alongside our speedboats to state their curiosity, giving you a unique close-up experience like no other.

Ko Hong Krabi and the smaller Krabi province archipelagos are typically quieter than the more popular Phi Phi or Phang Nga Bay area tours. However, the sheer natural beauty you get to encounter really is something else. This area provides you with everything you could want from a day out with your friends or family – whether it be snorkelling, discovering white sandy private beaches, hiking or sightseeing – there is something to keep everyone happy.

Ko Hong sits in-between the Koh Yao Islands and Krabi mainland, and already had a great name for itself with its stunning lagoon. Entering through a narrow passageway you are greeted by the scenic and mesmerising Ko Hong Lagoon. This striking turquoise body of shallow water is surrounded by high rock walls lined with lush mangroves giving a forgotten world feeling to it. Only accessible by small boat or longtail, some areas are so clear and shallow you can easily see your feet on the underwater sand.

The two idyllic Racha Islands; Koh Racha Yai and Koh Racha Noi, are also sometimes referred to as Raya Island and provide the ideal destination to enjoy nature. With some of the best snorkelling reefs in Thailand and quiet, tropical white powdery beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, they provide a balanced combination of relaxing, tranquil locations with amazing sea life.

It is most popular to explore Koh Racha Yai (situated just 20km south of Phuket, and a mere 45-minute speedboat ride away); however, to experience the plethora of marine life on offer, 5 Star Marine can take you a little further to its smaller twin, Koh Racha Noi – An uninhabited rocky island, with plenty of fantastic snorkelling bays.

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. The Khai Islands is made up of 3 separate islands:

1. Khai Nai
2. Khai Nau
3. Khai Nok

Each of the three Islands offers something slightly different for you to experience; Khai Nai offers clear, shallow water and snorkelling which is perfect for families with young children. Khai Nau is also an excellent spot for some snorkelling right off the boat, and has a great variety of coral and marine life to explore. Finally, Khai Nok has some good off the beach snorkelling and offers you the opportunity to relax on the beach.

Coral Island, also known locally as Koh He, is an easy and family friendly day-trip destination from Phuket.

This beautiful island has 2 main beaches (Long Beach and Banana Beach), where you can find a handful of restaurants, enjoy a few different snorkelling spots or just relax on its sandy beaches.

Enjoy the tropical island paradise of Koh Lipe on our exclusive 3 day and 2 night tour. This area is famous for its white powdery sand beaches and coral rich turquoise waters. It is located in the Andaman Sea, close to Malaysia’s border.

Perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle, enjoying a slower paced few days, excellent snorkelling and a selection of rich dive sites – there is sure to be something for everyone at Koh Lipe, and enough to do for a few nights there.

Enjoy a memorable boat trip to the renowned Similan Islands; a stunning archipelago in the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand, which is made up of 9 islands (please note that the Similan Islands are only open from October 15^th to May 15^th each year).

This is one of the best-known island groups in this area, and its fame is heavily due to having some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world. When you first come to these islands, you will see huge boulders sitting on the shores on several of the islands, and these create a distinctive feature for this area.

If you are looking for something a little more exotic, lesser known and arguably as beautiful, (if not more), than the Similan Islands, then this private tour is for you. These small islands are situated just south of Koh Lanta in the Mu Ko Lanta National Park.

For a very special experience, these two islands combine stunning water clarity with a diverse range of colourful marine life and corals, and therefore offer some of the best snorkelling opportunities you can find. In season, you can also regularly see whale sharks between these islands too.

Peaceful vibes, emerald lagoons and stunning beaches greet you at these 3 small and lesser-known islands. Add in an abundance of impressive snorkelling spots and reefs, and this makes for an extra special day out.

The relatively untouched island of Koh Ngai has crystal clear waters, colourful corals and marine life, and thus is a great option to start your private tour for some serious snorkelling.
