• Phuket half-day tour with round-trip transfer

    • Discover Phuket, the pearl of the Andaman Sea, on a half-day tour – one of Thailand's most famous islands. Enjoy the view from the Big Buddha, admire Wat Chalong temple, and explore vibrant Phuket Town.

    After being picked up from your hotel, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the island as you drive along scenic coastal roads.

    Stop at a famous viewpoint and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view of Phuket's coastline. Admire the azure sea meeting the lush green rainforest trees – a sight that makes Phuket a tropical paradise.

    A highlight of your half-day tour is a visit to the Great Buddha, one of the island's most revered landmarks. The enormous statue sits atop the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata, and at 45 meters tall, it's even visible from Phuket Town and Karon Beach.

    This elevated viewpoint offers the best 360-degree panoramic views of the island, with sweeping vistas of Phuket Town, Kata, Karon, Chalong Bay, and much more. Discover the statues and intricate mosaics that adorn the spot, and keep an eye out for cheeky monkeys hiding in the trees.

    Next, visit Wat Chalong, Phuket's largest temple, where locals and tourists alike pay their respects to deceased, revered monks, including Luang Pho Cham and Luang Pho Chuang. Admire the beautiful artwork on the temple walls and the peaceful surroundings.

    Experience the beauty and tradition of a Buddhist monk's blessing during your tour to the Great Buddha or Wat Chalong. Your friendly guide will explain how these blessings purify karma, bring good fortune, and prosperity as you watch the monks chant, recite, and pour water.

    After a brief stop at a cashew nut factory, we immerse ourselves in the local culture with a walking tour of Phuket Town. We stop at a food stall and enjoy the popular and delicious specialties of the Phuket locals. Afterwards, we stroll through Phuket's Old Town and discover the impressive Sino-Portuguese colonial architecture, trendy art galleries, and traditional cafes and restaurants.

    Important Notice: Please be aware that the Great Buddha complex in Phuket is temporarily closed from September 2nd, 2024, by order of the Phuket government. Therefore, guests will not have access to the entire Great Buddha area. However, our tour offers an alternative viewpoint during the drive to ensure you have a memorable experience.
