Detailed itinerary

Morning Pickup: 8:00–8:30 AM / Afternoon Pickup: 1:00 PM - Ready for a whirlwind adventure through Phuket’s most iconic spots? Hop in—we’ve got the perfect mix of culture, views, and good vibes waiting for you.

Stop 2

First stop: the Big Buddha. Perched on a hill with views that make you pause (and maybe even reflect), this colossal statue isn’t just impressive—it’s peaceful. Stretch out, take it all in, maybe even try a yoga pose for the camera (we won’t judge).

Stop 3

Next, step into Phuket’s most cherished temple. Locals come here for blessings; you’ll come away with stories—from golden monk statues to echoes of a time when temples were more than places to pray—they were safe havens.

Triple bays, turquoise waters, and lush hills—this spot knows how to show off. Line up the perfect shot or just stare quietly for a moment. It’s allowed.

A quick stop, but a favorite. There’s something calming about the sea breeze and wide-open sky here. You’ll want to breathe a little deeper.

Stop 6

We'll cruise through the heart of old Phuket, where pastel buildings and quirky cafés tell tales of a different time. It’s a glimpse into the island’s soul—no filter needed.

Before we wrap up, a quick visit to a souvenir shop or the local cashew factory—because what’s a trip without snacks and keepsakes?

Then, it’s back to your hote.
