Phuket Tours and Excursions: Everything on the Island
Phuket packs temples, rainforest, reefs and a 19th-century mining town into an island you can drive across in an hour. Whether you came for the beach, the history or the diving, there is a day trip that fits.
Ways to Spend a Day
🛕 Temples and the Big Buddha The 45-metre Big Buddha looks out over Chalong Bay from the top of Nakkerd Hill. Below it, Wat Chalong is the island's most important temple and the best place to understand how Buddhism is actually practised here. Both are on the Beautiful Phuket tour.
🏝 Viewpoints and beaches The west coast is a run of bays, each with a different character — Patong loud, Kata surfable, Nai Harn quiet. A sightseeing route links the best viewpoints between them; top 8 beaches in Phuket explains which is which.
🌿 Rainforest and ziplines Hanuman World runs ziplines and skybridges through genuinely old rainforest in the island's interior — the most active way to see the jungle without leaving Phuket.
🤿 Diving and snorkelling The reefs off Racha and the Similans are the reason divers come to the Andaman. Diving in Phuket takes certified divers and complete beginners, and sea fishing works the same waters.
🍜 Food and markets Phuket Old Town is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. Street food, the Sunday walking market and Peranakan cooking you will not find elsewhere in Thailand — usually added to a private sightseeing day.
🚤 The islands Most first-timers also give a day to the boats. That whole catalogue is under island tours from Phuket.

The tour exceeded all our expectations!
It was absolutely brilliant, interesting and fascinating
Our guide Konstantin was a real gem 🤍
Such a lovely and cheerful chap!
We loved all the locations, but Maya Byi was our favourite 😍
The transfer was excellent, everything went smoothly
A huge thank you to your team for a fantastic holiday
We are incredibly grateful to you for recommending and organising our trip, and of course a huge thank you to another wonderful member of your team – Nikita, our guide. We loved everything; I have never seen such beauty before. Thailand is love for life ❤️
It was brilliant. Our guide, Nikita, was absolutely brilliant. He explained everything in detail and in a way that was easy to understand. And everything was safe.
We’ll definitely be booking more tours with Slontour
I was with two teenagers, and they were absolutely thrilled, even though they’re usually hard to please.
Hats off to our guide Konstantin!
We were also lucky to have such a great boatman, Captain Chok and his crew, and our guide Konstantin – thanks to him for his sense of humour! And Rosita! The team worked seamlessly together; everything was organised perfectly. We managed to take photos, go for a swim, relax and even get a bit tired. We sailed back at low tide; at the last two spots the water was almost hot and a bit murky, but the fish were clearly visible, and we saw crab-eating macaques coming out of the mangrove thickets to feed.
I think everyone appreciated the advantage of an early departure.
And also the breakfast, lunch (and feeding the monitor lizards), chilled drinks on board, and pineapples on the way back. Everything was wonderful. Thank you!
