How to choose a tour among countless options? Insider can help you discover what’s truly worth seeing in Phuket and beyond.
Not sure where to start? Start with the basics: a sightseeing tour that takes you to all the must-visit locations in Phuket, including its most important temples.
Phuket is not just about beaches and the sea – it’s also home to incredible natural beauty: mangrove forests, wild jungles, exotic animals and birds, waterfalls, rivers, and lakes. You can experience this nature on tours to national parks like Phang Nga, Khao Sok, and Khao Lak.
If you’re curious about Phuket’s wildlife, take a tour to visit elephants – but make sure it’s an ethical sanctuary, where these sacred animals have been rescued from tourist exploitation and now live their best lives.
Not far from Phuket, you’ll find smaller islands with white sand, crystal-clear water, and untouched nature – like Coral Island, the Similans, and Phi Phi. These spots are perfect for snorkeling, with underwater worlds that rival Discovery Channel documentaries.
Want to go further? You can explore Thailand’s vibrant capital or even neighboring countries. A great way to learn more about Asia is to visit Bangkok, Singapore, or Kuala Lumpur.
Craving adventure? No problem! You can fly over Phuket in a light aircraft or dive down to a sunken ship. For something a little less extreme but just as exciting, try a jet ski island tour or deep-sea fishing.
Choose based on your mood: quiet time in nature, sea adventures, cultural discoveries, or a shot of adrenaline. We recommend seeing as much as you can – so you can confidently say, “I’ve seen it all in Phuket!”. Use the feedback form below to find the best option for you.
