Description
Explore Phuket’s highlights in a half-day tour. Visit the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, and Old Phuket Town. Enjoy panoramic views and join a fun photo quest.
Start your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Patong, Karon, or Kata. Head to the Nakkerd Hills and stop at Karon Viewpoint for sweeping vistas of Kata Noi, Karon, and Kata Yai beaches. Capture your first photos of the day.
Next, visit the Big Buddha, a monumental statue offering panoramic island views. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and take in the stunning scenery.
Continue to Wat Chalong, Phuket’s largest and most venerated temple. Learn about local traditions and admire the ornate shrines.
Make a quick photo stop at the Windmill Viewpoint for coastal panoramas and a chance to spot paragliders on clear days.
Drive through Old Phuket Town to admire the colorful Sino-Portuguese architecture and pass local landmarks on Thalang, Dibuk, and Phang Nga roads.
Visit a local craft or cashew-processing shop for souvenirs before returning to your hotel.
Throughout the tour, participate in a fun on-tour photo challenge that turns sightseeing into a game. You’ll get a simple 3×3 challenge card with items to capture (e.g., “silhouette at sunset,” “local snack close-up,” “group selfie with a stranger” — examples only). Complete a row to earn a small surprise gift from the guide. Play solo or in teams. Optional: post your favorites on social media.
