What to expect

Discover the laid back side of Phuket island as you trek through the lush jungles and learn more about Buddhism from your professional English speaking guide. Choose either a Tuesday, Friday or Sunday tour, put your walking shoes on, and head out on your half day activity! Make your way through the tropical forests of Phuket and discover local flora and fauna until you arrive at a breathtaking viewpoint that offers incredible views of Karon. You'll then make your way to the island's very own Big Buddha where you can take time to explore the area on your own and meet monks to receive blessings. Then you'll be off to Wat Chalong, the most important of the 29 Buddhist temples in Phuket, and also the largest one in the area. Here, you'll learn more about the history and origins of Buddhism and the local way of life, before heading to an organic farm to enjoy a fresh lunch with a view. At the end of the tour, you'll be taken safely back to your hotel to continue the rest of your day as you please.

Review for: Friday Tour

Jungle trek was great, our guides were knowledgable and funny. The last item on the itiniary is a sit down meal (which tasted great), something you don’t normally get with other tours.

The trekking is very good although the slope is very steep. I enjoyed the climb. The big Buddha is very fascinating and wat chalong is very interesting where there were firecrackers to signify good luck and to drive away bad luck.

Great opportunity to get in touch with nature. The incline in the first half of the hike is pretty steep - therefore you’d have to have a certain level of physical fitness to complete this activity! The guide was great and he ensured all of us were feeling fine and well taken care of throughout. There is a pit stop in the midst of the hike - where we got some rest and were served some fruits, snacks (glutinous rice etc). Nothing too fancy, but good enough to keep us satiated for the rest of the hike. Once you’re at the top, you’ll be rewarded a breathtaking view. There is a requirement to be dressed modestly at the Great Buddha - but no worries if you’re not in the right attire as the guide will make arrangements and hand you scarf-like garments to cover up.

The tour guide is very friendly, and introduces different plants growing on the mountain trail along the way, such as lemon glass, big tree pineapple, bird of paradise...etc, to gain knowledge. There should be more than one path to the Big Buddha. This time the tour guide chose a path that will make you sweat on the slopes, but it is not too hard for us. The total length is about 3km. After the trip, you can drink a cool coconut. Dry, highly recommended!

You got to have certain level of fitness to join this trekking tour-it has lots of uphill treks. We had a wonderful time and our guide, Born, was really knowledgeable and friendly. We saw many different plants along the way and he explained how the Thais use them. We had refreshing coconut juice at the rest stop and proceeded to the Big Buddha. After that we were driven to the local market to shop around and visit the temples.
