1st time in Phuket

Ten great Tours/Activities to discover

Phuket has so much to do that it's impossible to fit everything in one visit. It's also impossible to know exactly what to do without good background knowledge of what, where, when and how, so here are some pointers to help you get the max out of your holiday in Phuket.

Phi Phi Islands

You've seen it in the movie, now it's time to go… Is Maya Bay really as beautiful as portrayed in 'The Beach'? Find out by taking a speedboat over to these enchanted islands and exploring the turquoise and indigo waters. Visit beautiful island nooks and crannies and marvel at the teeming tropical fish just below the surface of the smooth sea. (See our Phi Phi Island Website or See Photos of Phi Phi Island). Phi Phi by Speedboat has been voted #1 Phuket Best Tour

Similan Islands

The Similan National Park is a group of nine islands some 90 minutes by speedboat from Phang Nga Province. It is one the most beautiful places in southern Thailand as their remote location has protected them from mass tourism. They also offer some of the world's best dive sites (from November - April). Go on a Similan Stopover tour (voted #2 Phuket Best Tour) for snorkeling and sightseeing or try out one of the many liveaboards available if you are a diver.

Yacht charter & Sailing Cruises

Phang Nga Bay, Phuket and the Phi Phi Islands offer perfect destinations for cruising. You can book a sunset cruise or go day sailing or charter a yacht for longer cruises. There are many different options available. Try the Magical Phang Nga Bay Cruise (daytrip) or the Ayodhaya Sunset Cruise evening trip – respectively voted #3 & #10 Phuket Best Tours. Watch the sun setting behind the hills of Phuket while enjoying a delicious glass of wine.

Golf in Phuket

Phuket has four world-class golf courses, with another in nearby Phang Nga Province. Many golfing visitors are astounded at the lush greenery and natural designs of the courses here, along with luxurious and well-appointed clubhouses, some of which have adjacent hotels with excellent facilities. Tee off in Phuket and discover tropical golfing at its finest . Blue Canyon Country Club has been rated #5 Phuket Best Tour.

Sea Canoeing in the Phang Nga Bay

The 'Hongs' of Phang Nga Bay are the result of millennia-long erosion, making the roofs of sea caves collapse in and thereby creating an almost perfect micro-environment where wildlife and flora can exist in peace. You can access these sea caves with the help of a kayak and this forms the basis of the Phang Nga Bay kayaking tour experience.
Hong by Starlight has been voted #6 Best Phuket Tour.

Adventure Sports

Whatever makes your heart beat faster, you will find it in Phuket. Why not try Whitewater Rafting (voted #7) up in the swollen watery arteries of Phang Nga Province where adventure and adrenalin run high? Closer to home there is ATV riding (voted #8) through the jungle and along the beach in an environmentally aware, specially designated piece of land in which you will learn about Phuket's flora and fauna.

Eco Tours and Elephant Trekking

Join an Eco tour and learn from the experts about what makes this place tick. Learn how to cook and enjoy a jungle curry made with the plants found around your camp. Trek through the jungle on the back of an elephant, raft or paddle downriver and let your guide point out the fauna on the riverbanks. Recommended daytrip:4-in1 Safari Tour. Or try an overnight tour in Khao Sok with the Elephant Hills Safari which has been voted #9 Phuket Best Tour.

Phuket Scuba Diving

Phuket is a great diving destination. Some of the world's most famous dive sites are located only one hour away by boat. There are many diving daytrips and dive courses available on the island and for the more experienced, you can go out to sea on one of the many liveaboards operating from Phuket. Checking out the marine life that surrounds the island gives you a whole new perspective on what's happening on land here.

Hit the road: Rent a Car

Hire a car and explore Southern Thailand's roadside attractions. There are many scenic roads, particularly on the west coast of the island. It's fun, easy and best of all it's inexpensive. Next door Phang Nga Province is a lot quieter than Phuket in terms of traffic and there are some fantastic vistas only one hour's drive away. Forget tuk tuks and taxis and make your Declaration of (mobile) Independence by getting away from it all! See the photos of a daytrip by car in Phang Nga Province, and check out car rental prices...

Game Fishing

Game fishing is fun! Even if you are not hooked on this sport you can enjoy a grand day out with friends at sea. Simply follow the seagulls, they will tell you where the fish are... Charter a boat with friends for the day (or longer) or join a fishing trip. Live out your own Hemingway adventure and battle a big one.
