After you're picked up from your hotel, make your way to Patong Beach—one of the most popular beaches in the area. Take in the view of blonde sands framed by turquoise waters and framatic rock formations just offshore. From there, continue to Karon Viewpoint, where you can enjoy panoramic views of 3 beaches—Kata, Kata Noi, and Karon.

Proceed to Promthep Cape, at the south end of Phuket Island, to snap photos of the breathtaking scenery of the coastline. Make your way to the neighboring Wat Chalong, one of the most venerated temples in Phuket. A further stop will be made so you can admire the magnificence of the island's Big Buddha.

Lastly, head back to Phuket Town. Pop into a cashew factory to taste and shop for nutty souvenirs, and then cruise through the streets to admire the well-preserved and historic Sino-Portuguese architecture of the city. Your outing ends at the Gems Gallery, where you can opt to stay and shop before hopping back to your Hotel.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Patong is a beach resort town on the west coast of Phuket Island, facing the Andaman Sea in the southwest of Thailand. Its sandy, crescent beach is lined with cafes, restaurants and bars
2.
Well-known destination for picturesque views of the ocean, beaches & lush island surroundings.
3.
Karon Beach refers to a beach, and the town adjoining it, on the west coast of Phuket, Thailand. The beach is a popular destination for tourists. Generally quieter than neighbouring Patong, it is popular with families and couples
4.
Picturesque cape & lookout point known for its stunning sea views, especially at sunset.
5.
The most important of the 29 buddhist temples of Phuket is Wat Chalong or formally Wat Chaiyathararam, located in the Chalong Subdistrict, Mueang Phuket District.
6.
Phuket City, on Phuket Island, is the capital of Thailand’s Phuket Province. In the Old Town, Thalang Road is lined with colorful 19th-century shophouses and Sino-Portuguese buildings.
7.
A visit to the cashew nut factory in Phuket is a must for cashew nut lovers. The Cashew nut is a native produce that is grown in Phuket and other provinces of Southern Thailand, and are relatively cheap compared to prices in Western countries.
8.
Phuket's Big Buddha is one of the most important and revered landmarks on the island. The huge image sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and, at 45 metres tall, can be seen from as far away as Phuket Town and Karon Beach.

I really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide Nui (I don’t know how to write correctly) was amazing, very knowledgeable and very kind.
I’d booked in last minute and at the end, it was a VIP tour (only my family). The van was super clean and comfy. They gave us fresh water and a cold towel to refresh ourselves.
Really recommend it.

Nice half day tour with lots of variety. Got to see a bit of everything with the right amount of time. This was exactly what we were after. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

The only negative feedback is the sales people at the cashew nut factory souvenir store and the gem factory. At both places the staff were extremely pushy which made it an unpleasant experience. If it wasn’t for this, I would’ve rated this tour 5 stars.

Four of us did a private half day tour in Phuket. Yoh was our tour guide and she was excellent. We allowed Yoh to plan out our itinerary and she took us to 5 different sites that gave us a great taste of the Thai culture. The sites were varied and memorable. From the intricate architecture of the Wat Chalong Temple, to the panoramic views of the city from look-out points, to the immense and impressive Big Buddha statue, we thoroughly enjoyed this short tour of Phuket. Yoh was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. The tour bus was comfortable and the driver is to be commended for his driving on the many narrow winding roads. Yoh also gave us recommendations for other places to visit around Phuket (including places to eat and massage parlors).
We would definitely recommend this tour company and specifically the tour operator.

Thank you very much our guide Bonus/Anas was excellent best guide we had in Thailand so far! Good English, knowledge and takes care of you all the time! You will see phukets highlight in 5 hours.

Would recommend to skip the jewelry it has a bad reputation (just check google) for such a great tour and spend more time on old town phuket or somewhere else.
