This tour takes us on a cultural and scenic exploration of Phuket, otherwise known as the ‘Pearl of the Andaman’. We take in the natural beauty of the island as we drive along scenic beach roads passing through Patong, Karon, Kata and Rawai. Away from Phuket’s famous beaches, we are taken to the lesser known eastern side of the island where normal life away continues and where ancient cultural traditions are kept alive.
We complete this island exploration with a visit to Phuket Old Town which is brimming with Sino-Portuguese architecture. Rich cultural heritage and quaint colonial mansions takes us back to yester year when Phuket was in the midst of a tin boom that initially brought its wealth and the finance to build such beautiful buildings. This historic corner of Phuket completes this island adventure nicely as we admire the detail in the design of the surrounding buildings.
PIK-UP INSTRUCTIONS:
Pickup - Drop off available in Phuket Hotels or staying along Phuket’s main beaches such as Patong, Kata, Karon, Kalim, Kamala, Surin, Bangtao and Phuket Town only.

This early bird tour takes us away from the crowds so that we can enjoy the stunning setting of Phang Nga Bay in the seclusion it deserves. Boarding a speedboat, we cruise among the limestone karsts that are scattered across the waters.
We visit the legendary ‘James Bond’ island which featured in the film The Man with The Golden Gun. We take to kayaks to explore hidden caves and lagoons and glide through waterways framed with mangroves. Next we visit the unique Panyee Village which is an impressive engineering feat since the whole village is built on stilts above the shallow waters. Please note that there will be plenty of time to stop for swimming throughout the day.
