Phuket – the quintessentially luxurious seaside vacation that we all wish to experience. Phuket can certainly spice up your life and present you with soulful memories. But, what are the top Phuket tours? From island hopping along Phi Phi to sailing in Phang Nga, there are so many things to do. Let’s take a look at some of the top picks for Phuket tours.
Phi Phi Islands are open to visitors and remain just as gorgeous as ever. The blue-green depths and colossal limestone hills are still stunning. If you are staying at a 5 star resort in Phuket, book a speedboat tour to Phi Phi islands. Places like the Saii Laguna Phuket help guests with booking tours. Immerse yourself in the clear waters of Maya Bay and visit the Viking Cave. The Monkey beach is just as enchanting. You can spend the day and get from one point to the other faster on the speedboat.
You can discover the hidden beauties of Phang Nga Bay as you weave through the limestone caves on your canoe. The tour operators offer guides, so there is no need to worry. You can either choose to self-paddle or request a guide to do the paddling. Explore ‘hong ‘ – a collapsed cave complex in Phang Nga Bay. You can go through here in low tide on purpose-designed canoes. Once inside, discover a lovely haven of monkeys, fish and birds. Each hong comes with different sights.
You can enjoy a half-day tour of the southern side of Phuket Island. There you will find some lovely viewpoints, and temples. The city tour is your chance to immerse into the true nature of Phuket. The Wat Chalong is arguably the most popular temple in Phuket. The stunning Promthep Cape is located at the southern point of the island. Don’t forget to capture some vistas from the Kata Viewpoint and take a walk in Phuket town.
The thriving Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary and rainforest is where you’ll find mesmerizing views. You can cruise along the raging rapids to explore this landscape. Take a tour on a 4X4 along rough tracks to feel like a voyager to strange lands. After you test your stamina, visit a local rubber plantation.
Get on another speedboat to spend a day of tranquillity in the Coral and Raya islands. The heart-capturing blues of the Andaman Sea and the silky white sand of the beaches make this trip soul soothing. You can slip into the sea and snorkel for a bit to meet sea creatures.
You can spend an entire day pedalling away amidst serendipitous Koh Yao Noi. This is a quiet island where nature reigns and people live a slow-paced life. You can wind your way through pleasantly green or golden (depending on the season) paddy fields and visit small market towns.
Go on a full-day tour of the Similan Islands. Drink in the blue hues and sunshine. You can go for lengthy dips in the salty, sensual sea and snorkel. This island is where you’ll find some of Phuket’s best snorkeling spots. You can only visit Similan Islands from October to May. So, make the most of your time near the turquoise depths in the golden sunshine.
