half day tour is amazing to cover the spots that I wish to go - which transport can be complicated. Tour guide is friendly and take care of us, even borrow the shawls for covering shoulder and knee for Buddha visit. Recommend the ATV to mountain top city view. Each spot staying 30 mins is enough, though old town can be spending more time.

was a lovely experience starting with an ethical elephant tour where you get to feed them! you can tell the workers really care for them. the zip line course and atv was amazing as well but i would say that taller people beware as you may struggle a bit with the zip line course. the guides were lovely as well , we asked them to take pictures for us with their packages and they went above and beyond to get good shots!

Had an amazing experience on the Phuket Discovery Tour thanks to our wonderful guide Annie! She made the whole half-day trip so enjoyable — from Chalong Temple and the Big Buddha to Phuket Old Town and Khao Rang Viewpoint. Her explanations were clear, interesting, and full of fun facts, and she was super friendly and attentive the entire time. Annie also helped us get the best photo spots and answered all our questions patiently. The hotel pickup and drop-off were smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Annie as your guide. Will definitely book again!

It was a busy and fun day. Be prepared for a sales pitch at Gems Gallery, but it's still a good stop. Also dress appropriately for visiting temples (no tank tops, shorts). Our guide was very personable and kept things moving at the right pace.

This area’s limestone cliffs and hidden lagoons make it perfect for kayaking and taking incredible photos.

Avoid unlicensed motorcycle taxis; use apps like Grab for safer travel around Phuket Island.

4. Protect Yourself from the Sun

Bring sunscreen and a hat, and stay hydrated, especially on Phuket’s west coast beaches.
