Big Game Fishing in Phuket: Andaman Sea Deep Sea AnglingA big game fishing day trip from Phuket puts you on the water in the Andaman Sea with a guide, fishing equipment and lunch included. The trip runs between one and seven hours depending on conditions and your choice — you can fish actively or join as a non-angler and watch from the boat. Pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, coffee and tea round out the day.Is it for me?Book the Big Game Fishing option if you want to actively fish and have done it before or are ready to learn on the water; the Non Fishing option suits anyone who wants to spend the morning or afternoon on the Andaman Sea without holding a rod, or who wants to bring children to watch without the pressure of catching something.
Banana Beach day trip from Phuket: private speedboat with lunchA private speedboat day trip from Phuket takes you to Banana Beach on Koh Hey island for five hours of swimming, snorkeling and kayaking in clear water. The boat leaves from Kan Eang pier, and the day includes snorkeling equipment, a clear kayak, lunch at Hornbill Restaurant, bottled water, fresh fruit, a beach chair and a life jacket. You choose between a 3-engine or 2-engine speedboat at checkout.Is it for me?Book the 3-engine speedboat if you want to maximize time on the island; the faster ride means more hours at Banana Beach itself. The 2-engine option works just as well if you're not in a rush and want a more leisurely pace on the water.
Scuba Diving in Phuket: 3 Dives, All Gear IncludedScuba diving in Phuket with Blue Divecenter is a full-day activity on a dive boat visiting three sites—Racha Islands, Phuket Marine Park, and Phi Phi Islands—with three guided dives, all equipment, meals, and hotel pickup from Kamala, Patong, Karon, Kata, Rawai or Chalong. Groups stay small so each diver gets personalized attention and can set their own pace underwater. Children from age 10 are welcome; non-certified divers pay an additional 1,000 THB per person.Is it for me?The guide speaks your language—English, Spanish, Italian, French or one of six others—so the safety briefing and underwater commentary are clear without translation. Small groups mean you're not competing for the instructor's attention, which suits divers who want to move at their own pace and feel confident in the water.
James Bond Island Day Trip: Sea Canoeing & Monkey CaveThis day trip from Phuket combines island sightseeing and sea canoeing in Phang Nga Bay, with stops at Wat Suwan Kuha temple, James Bond Island, and a local fishing village. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with a professional English-speaking guide, lunch, life jackets and insurance. The national park fee (300 THB per adult, 200 THB per child) is paid separately in cash at the site.Is it for me?The nine-hour commitment means you lose most of a day, but it packs five separate stops and two different ways of moving through the landscape—boat and canoe—into one trip. If you want to see the famous limestone islands and the Monkey Cave without renting a car or arranging guides separately, the fixed schedule and included transport make it possible.
Racha & Coral Island Day Trip from Phuket with LunchA full-day speedboat tour from Phuket visits Racha Island for swimming and snorkeling in calm bays, then Coral Island for lunch and optional water activities like parasailing or banana boat rides. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with snorkel gear, life jacket and a Thai meal; the tour runs eight hours and departs at 8 a.m. from Chalong Pier.Is it for me?Choose hotel pickup if you're based in Patong, Kata or Karon; choose Chalong Pier meeting if your hotel is elsewhere—this tour splits time between Racha Island's quiet beaches and Coral Island's water sports and restaurants.
Phi Phi Snorkeling Day Trip from Phuket: small group speedboatA small group speedboat snorkeling tour from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands with a maximum of 18 passengers, departing early to reach the best sites before other boats arrive. The day includes two snorkeling stops among colorful coral and tropical fish, sightseeing at Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Monkey Beach, Viking Cave and Bamboo Island, lunch at a beachside restaurant on Phi Phi Don, and all snorkeling equipment. An English-speaking guide leads the tour, and hotel pickup from Phuket is included.Is it for me?The early departure and small group size mean you're moving at a steady pace and spending real time in the water before the afternoon rush, but it also means an early start and a full 9 hours on the boat and in the islands — book this if you want the reefs at their best, not if you prefer a slower morning.
Phuket Scuba Diving Day Trip: Small Group, Certified Divers OnlyA full-day scuba diving excursion from Phuket for certified divers aboard M/V Matcha nu, a boat that holds a maximum of 12 divers. You choose how long to stay at each site within the day's span, dive with a live guide in English, French, German or Dutch, and move between multiple dive sites with coral gardens, walls and shipwrecks. Lunch and snacks are included; snorkeling gear comes with the boat, and you bring or rent scuba equipment at checkout.Is it for me?The seven-hour day and repeated water entry ask for moderate fitness and comfort with a full immersion schedule — if you prefer shorter dives or fewer entries, a half-day trip or a single-site dive suits you better. The small group and flexible timing mean you are not locked into a rigid itinerary, so the pace adapts to how you want to spend the day underwater.
Phang Nga Bay: James Bond Island & Sea Kayaking Speedboat Day TripYou get picked up from your Phuket hotel, speedboat through Phang Nga Bay's limestone islands to James Bond Island, paddle sea kayaks through hidden cave systems in Koh Panak and Diamond Cave, eat Thai lunch in a stilt village, and finish with beach time on Koh Rang Yai. The guide and crew manage the boat, the kayaks, the timing and any weather changes — you just show up and move through the day.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see Phang Nga Bay's main attractions — James Bond Island, the hidden cave rooms, a working stilt village — without arranging your own boat, timing the tides or figuring out which islands are worth the paddle. The fixed schedule and included guide are what make all four stops fit into one day.
Cheow Lan Lake & Samet Nangshe Day Trip from PhuketA full-day tour from Phuket combining Samet Nangshe viewpoint and Cheow Lan Lake with a longtail boat cruise, lunch and national park entry. Hotel pickup starts at 6am; you return by early evening. The guide speaks English and Thai, and the itinerary holds two distinct landscapes—mountain panorama and lake—inside one carefully timed route.Is it for me?If your Thai is limited or nonexistent, request the English-speaking guide at checkout—the commentary on the limestone formations and the temple history carries the experience, and a guide speaking your language makes the long drive and the viewpoint stops land properly.
Snorkeling Surin Islands: 3 Reefs & Moken Village VisitA full-day snorkeling activity from Phuket to Surin Islands with three separate reef stops, meals, full equipment and a visit to Moken Village.
