Are there any interesting tours in Phuket that don’t require long trips?
Insider's Response
If you’re not in the mood to spend the whole day cruising the sea to visit distant islands, there are plenty of tours you can enjoy without even leaving Phuket. The easiest option is a sightseeing tour, which covers the island’s main spots and landmarks — a great way to get to know Phuket and spark your interest for more. For those curious about the island’s history and culture, the temple tour is a perfect choice.
There are also many scenic spots on the island that are easy to reach. One must-see is the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint, where you can soak in the natural beauty and take in breathtaking views. Families with kids will enjoy the elephant sanctuary tour, where you can observe elephants in a natural, ethical environment. And if you love fishing, don’t miss lake fishing — Phuket has plenty of freshwater lakes, so you can enjoy your favorite hobby without venturing far out to sea.
