All Tours & Activities
A day trip to Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand's oldest rainforests. Two programs to choose from, with an early hotel pick-up.
A half-day loop around Phuket: the Big Buddha, Chalong Temple, viewpoints, the Old Town and a night market. 11 programs to choose from.
An Andaman-legend themed water park with slides and a wave pool for the whole family — or choose Blue Tree Phuket instead.
Live Muay Thai at a Patong stadium, buzzing until midnight. Choose a stadium seat or VIP ringside.
A seaside beach club — lounge by the pool, enjoy the music and the sunset. The day pass comes back to you as food & drink credit.
Speedboat or catamaran to the Phi Phi Islands, see Maya Bay from The Beach, snorkel the coral at Pileh Lagoon, and stop by Monkey Beach and Viking Cave. Lunch and snorkel gear included.
A Krabi island-hopping day trip: walk the sandbar of Talay Waek where the islands connect at low tide, snorkel off Poda Island, and take in the famous limestone cliffs of Railay.
Snorkel over some of Thailand's healthiest shallow-water reefs, relax on white-sand beaches with crystal-clear water, and visit the Moken sea-gypsy village.
Cruise to Koh Hong in Krabi to swim and snorkel in a sheltered emerald lagoon, relax on quiet white-sand beaches, and take in the towering limestone cliffs of Than Bok Khorani National Park.
Sea-canoe through hidden lagoon caves, take in James Bond Island (Ko Tapu) and stop at Koh Panyee, the floating village. Choose a speedboat, a big boat or a catamaran.
The closest white-sand beaches and crystal water to Phuket — great for families and first-time snorkellers. Choose a catamaran or a speedboat.
A full day into the evening: snorkel at several spots, watch the sunset out at sea, and finish with glowing bioluminescent plankton in the water.
World-class clear water, snorkelling at the top spots, and the famous Island 8 viewpoint. The park is open October–May only, so book ahead.
Ride your own jet ski across 8 islands around Phuket with a guide leading the way — 4–5 hours, insurance and all gear included.
What to bring: swimsuit, beach towel, sunblock lotion, extra clothes, hat & sunglasses, pocket money
No licence needed. A one-to-two instructor stays with you, and you dive for real at the coral spots around Racha Island. Gear and underwater photos included.
Parasailing, banana boat and sea walker — pick single activities or a bundle. Book through us for the same price as on the beach, with no haggling.
A popular combo for the adventurous: 5 km of white-water rafting followed by a zipline across the valley. Transfer and lunch included. Prefer it calm? Pick a bamboo-raft trip instead.
Ride your own ATV along dirt trails through rubber plantations and forested hills, finishing at a viewpoint with the Andaman Sea in full view. Choose 1 or 2 hours.
Pick as many platforms as you dare, from a short course for first-timers to the full course with rope bridges and a climbing wall. Hanuman World also has a luge, roller and sky walk.
Choose from visiting and feeding, bathing, or swimming with the elephants. We only work with camps that treat their elephants well.
What to bring: towel, sunscreen, swimsuit, change of clothes, sandals, personal medicine, insect repellent, camera (optional)
A world-class Thai cultural show with elephants and spectacular stage effects. The 21:00 show runs 70 minutes, with an optional buffet add-on.
Phuket's newest light-and-colour theme park, with a parade and a big-stage show. The 20:30 show runs 1 hour.
Phuket's most famous cabaret show, with performances every day. Choose a VIP seat near the stage or a standard seat.
An indoor dolphin show, great for families with young kids. Several shows a day, closed every Monday.
A Thai cultural show on a huge stage, with a Thai village to explore before the theatre. Add an optional dinner buffet.
A downtown Phuket aquarium — walk the underwater tunnel among thousands of sea creatures and catch the stunning underwater mermaid show. Great for the whole family.
Walk the Old Town with a guide who grew up here, eat Hokkien noodles at the shop locals queue for, hear the stories behind the Sino-Portuguese houses, and finish at a café inside an old home.
Head out early to the market where locals buy their own food, then on to the Rawai sea-gypsy village to hear the stories straight from the community.
Your driver waits at the arrivals gate with a name sign. A flat price per vehicle, not per head — choose a sedan, a van, or a large van.
Boat tickets to Phi Phi, Krabi, Ao Nang and Railay, plus Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. Pick a budget ferry or a fast speedboat, with optional hotel pickup.
