Overview

This five-and-a-half-hour tour takes you to the top attractions around Phuket Island, including the magnificent Big Buddha. Join us for the Morning Tour, where you'll wind along Phuket’s southern shoreline, admiring the pristine white sands, lush tropical landscapes, and the vibrant atmosphere of Patong, Karon, Kata, and Rawai beaches. You'll have fantastic photo opportunities from two scenic viewpoints, along with stops at Wat Chalong Temple, the Big Buddha, a cashew nut factory, and a souvenir shop. The tour also includes a drive through Phuket Old Town, where you can admire the charming Sino-Portuguese architecture. Private tours operate daily, with both morning and afternoon options available, accommodating 1 to 8 passengers at the same great price, offering fantastic value for your experience.

Itinerary

  • Patong Beach (Pass By)

    Patong Beach is the true heart of Phuket, and what makes it so attractive to many. Patong is big, bold, crowded, bright and loud. And yet millions of people flock here every year like flies on honey. If Bangkok is the Big Mango, then Patong is the Big Durian: you’ll love Patong!

  • Karon Viewpoint

    Karon Viewpoint is one of the most frequented viewpoints in Phuket. From here, it is possible to take in views of Kata Noi, Kata Yai and Karon beaches. Karon Viewpoint is not visited on the Afternoon Sunset Tour. Located between Nai Harn and Kata Noi beaches, the viewpoint is busy most days of the year and is a staple of many tour itineraries. Called locally ‘Khao Saam Haad’ (Three Beaches Hill), the local municipality for some reason has officially renamed it ‘Karon Viewpoint’. It’s located just to the south of Kata Noi Beach and looks out directly out to the Andaman Sea but most people have their cameras trained due north at the undeniably impressive eight-kilometre vista of the three west coast beaches in the background.

    20 minutes

  • Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong)

    Of the many temples found on Phuket island, the Wat Chalong temple is the largest and most revered. The temple complex was built in its current location in 1837. Some remains of older structures have been found, however it is unknown exactly how old they are. The large grounds of Wat Chalong that is officially named Wat Chaitararam contains a viharn, a mondop, a ubosot, a chedi containing a secret relic, a sala and a crematorium.

    45 minutes

  • Methee Phuket

    A tour of a cashew nut factory in Phuket is a must for cashew nut lovers. The Cashew nut is a native produce that is grown in Phuket and other provinces of Southern Thailand, and are relatively cheap compared to prices in Western countries.

    20 minutes

  • Old Phuket Town (Pass By)

    Old Phuket Town, is an area of historical interest in Phuket City. The main streets of Old Phuket Town are Thalang, Phang Nga, Krabi, Dibuk, and Yoawarat. Old Phuket Town is noted for Sino-Portuguese buildings on both sides of the street. During the Afternoon Tour we will stop and this will be a Walking Tour for about 45minutes. Only during the Morning Tour will we pass through some streets without actually stopping.

  • Big Buddha Phuket

    Big Buddha Phuket is a 45-meter-tall white marble statue visible from anywhere in the southern part of Phuket. It is probably at the top of everyone’s ‘Must-Do in Phuket‘, and for a good reason. The views from up there are breathtaking. The statue is built with people’s donation and is still under construction. If you feel like doing something to help to finish the broad base of the Buddha, you can sponsor a piece of white marble for 300 to 1,000 baht depending on the size.

Published on Dec, 2024

It was very good. Our tour guide and driver were very professional and kind. The tour was four hours which was enough to stop and visit many places and we still had half of the day for us.

Great tour of Phuket

Published on May, 2024

We had a great time. We ended up being the only ones on the tour, which was very nice. They provided detailed explanations and answered all our questions.

Quick phuket tour

Published on Mar, 2024

The guide was very personable. We really enjoyed walking through old town Phuket. The giant Buddha was very impressive.

Terrific sightseeing tour of island

Published on Mar, 2024

Great way to see most of the island of Phuket. Our guide, Phone , had an excellent command of the English language and was really knowledgeable. We were given 40 minutes of free time in the old town to shop. Had a great lunch there. Would certainly recommend taking this tour.
