Full description

Explore the Pearl of the Andaman on a half-day tour of Phuket, one of Thailand’s most iconic islands. Admire Wat Chalong Temple, and explore the buzzing Phuket Town.

After being picked up at your hotel, you’ll have the chance to take in the natural beauty of the island as you drive along scenic beach roads.

Stop at a famous viewpoint, taking in incredible panoramic vistas of Phuket's coastline. Admire the aqua-blue sea meeting the lush green rainforest trees which make Phuket a tropical paradise.

Next, you'll visit Wat Chalong, Phuket’s largest temple where locals and tourists alike go to pay their respects to late, revered monks, including Luang Pho Cham and Luang Pho Chuang. Admire the beautiful artworks adorning the temple walls, and the peaceful grounds surrounding the site.

Experience the beauty and tradition of a Buddhist monk blessing during your tour at Big Buddha or Wat Chalong. Your friendly guide will share how these blessings cleans karma, create happiness and breed good luck as you watch monks chant, sing and pour water in celebration.

After a quick stop at a cashew nut factory, we soak up some of the local culture with a tour of Phuket Town. We enjoy a stop at a local food stall and enjoy some popular and delicious flavors of Phuket's locals. From here, you will continue walking into Phuket Old Town, discovering the incredible Sino-Portuguese colonial architecture, hip art galleries, and classic cafés and restaurants.
