Full description

This is a 9-hour experience in Phuket, built around Royal Phuket Marina, Speedboat and Bamboo Island. It is run by V. Marine Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Arashiyama, on Kyoto's western edge, is the bamboo grove, the Togetsukyo bridge over the Katsura river, the gardens of Tenryu-ji and the monkey park on the hill above. The bamboo path is about 500 metres and is photographed empty in every guidebook because those photographs are taken before 7:30; by mid-morning it is a procession. Rickshaw runs, the Sagano scenic railway along the gorge, and boat rides down the Hozu rapids all start here. Autumn colour peaks in the second half of November and cherry blossom around the first week of April.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off from Phuket, Buffet lunch at a 4.5-star resort, Seasonal fruits and soft drinks, Accident insurance and Restroom on board. It does not cover Alcohol, Towel and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Phuket. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with V. Marine Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

It’s was amazing day trip with a boat and all the famous locations, we were lucky with the weather and the water was crystal clear. It was very crowded everywhere, but I think it’s common for Thailand

We just finished the tour and had the most AMAZING time! The boat, staff, and experience is truly top-notch. From the moment we stepped on the boat, we were treated like VIPs. The lead tour guide, Ray, and his staff pay attention to even the most minor details throughout the trip. I can certainly say it is a very premium experience. They were constantly providing snacks, cleaning up any trash you may have, setting up towels for your return onto the boat, giving detailed explanations of the sites we were seeing, and ensuring every single guest was having an amazing time. I’ve never had a tour g

We really enjoyed this trip run by V Marine. It was run and organised really well. You could tell that they have been running these trips for a long time and just know what they are doing. Hotel pick up was bang on time, the refreshments and equipment provided on the day were great. The guides knew all the good snorkelling spots and were really helpful throughout the day. The boat itself was spacious for our trip and felt like it was not very old at all. All together a great day out thank you so much!!

Ray and his crew were incredible!!! I can’t recommend this enough it was truly the highlight of our 3 weeks in Thailand. I would also highly recommend the photography session it was worth every penny. They went above and beyond at every stop and on the boat to make sure we were having the best day. The crew worked very well together and you could see how much they enjoyed their jobs.

Our tour was really good, especially given the cost for how much you get. We started by travelling in the National Park on canoe with a guide who took us inside many caves and around the park. Then we went to James Bond Island, where we were able to swim, shop, and sightsee, with our guide taking lots of pictures of us by the famous view. Afterwards, we went for lunch at a sea view restaurant on the Floating Village, which was very nice and had lots of options. We then had time to shop on the island and take pictures. The final stop was at the Monkey Temple, where we had time to go inside and

Frequently Asked Questions

The price does not cover alcohol, towel and tips. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.

The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
