Phuket Sightseeing Tours: the Island in a Day
A sightseeing tour is the efficient way to see Phuket itself — the viewpoints, the temples and the old town — without renting a scooter and working out the roads yourself. It is the tour most guests book first, usually on day one.
What a Sightseeing Day Covers
Our Beautiful Phuket tour is the classic route, and private versions follow the same landmarks at your own pace:
📍 Viewpoints — Promthep Cape, Karon and Windmill viewpoints, timed so you are not there with every bus on the island. 📍 Temples — the Big Buddha on its hill above Chalong, and Wat Chalong, the island's most revered temple. 📍 Phuket Old Town — Sino-Portuguese shophouses, Thalang Road and the Chinese shrines, the part of the island most visitors never see. 📍 Beaches and bays — the west-coast stops worth pulling over for, with time to swim. 📍 Markets and local food — optional, and the best part of the day if you like eating.
Each route is built so the driving is short and the stops are long enough to be worth making.
Tour formats
🔹 Group tours — a fixed itinerary with an English-speaking guide, shared with other travellers. 🔹 Private tours — your choice of stops, your pace, your vehicle. 🔹 VIP — small groups, premium vehicle, personalised service.
Why take one
✔ You see the highlights in a single day — useful if you are on the island for a week or less. ✔ It covers nature, religion, history and the modern town in one trip. ✔ No shopping stops. Most of our itineraries do not include gem shops or factories. ✔ Air-conditioned transport and hotel pickup included. ✔ It works on a rainy day, when the boats are not sailing.

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!
