Phuket: Bangla Road Pub Crawl & Club Night with ShotsYou’ll jump right into Phuket’s wild nightlife on Bangla Road with a local guide leading you through two bars (free shots included) before ending up at a club for more dancing and another round. Expect sticky tables, neon lights, new friends—and maybe losing your voice before sunrise.
Snorkeling in Phuket: Private Longtail Boat to Banana BeachA private longtail boat charter from Phuket takes you to Banana Beach Koh Hey and the reefs around Coral Island for snorkeling and fishing, with an onboard jacuzzi, towels, snorkeling gear and a live English or Thai-speaking guide included. The boat departs from Phuket, runs 7 hours, and ends at Promthep Cape for sunset. Pickup from your hotel is included; tacos, sparkling wine and seasonal fruit are served on board.Is it for me?Book this private charter if you want to snorkel and fish on your own schedule without joining a group—the boat is yours alone for the full 7 hours, and you choose how long to spend at each stop. Choose a shared group tour instead if you prefer to meet other travelers or want a lower price.
Phang Nga Bay: Private Sea Canoeing & Bioluminescence TourYou’ll paddle through caves and lagoons in Phang Nga Bay with a local guide who knows every hidden spot, watch monkeys on Koh Panak, catch sunset at James Bond Island, enjoy fresh seafood for dinner, then see bioluminescent waters glow beneath your hands after dark. If you want a day that lingers long after you’re home—this is it.
Phuket: Private Island Tour with Big Buddha & Old TownYou’ll ride in comfort as your local guide leads you from Patong Beach’s energy to Karon Viewpoint’s sweeping coastlines, pause for quiet moments at Wat Chalong temple, sample fresh cashews straight from the source, wander Old Phuket Town’s colorful streets, then stand beneath the Big Buddha with all of Phuket spread out below you. The day feels both lively and peaceful—something you might carry home long after.
Phang Nga Bay: James Bond Island & Canoe Tour with LunchYou’ll paddle through secret caves in Phang Nga Bay, set foot on famous James Bond Island, enjoy freshly cooked Thai lunch on a big boat, and swim or relax as limestone cliffs drift past. With hotel pickup included and a local guide sharing stories along the way, expect moments of laughter—and maybe a little awe—between each stop.
James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay canoe tour from PhuketThis full-day canoe tour from Phuket explores Phang Nga Bay's limestone islands, James Bond Island and two mangrove cave systems by paddle and motorboat, with hotel pickup, buffet lunch on Panyee Island and a swim at Naka Noi beach. Two separate canoe sessions—one through Hong Island's lagoon and another through Mangrove Cave and Diamond Cave—let you paddle into places the larger tour boats cannot reach. The tour runs about six to seven hours and includes an English-speaking guide, soft drinks, fresh fruit and water.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to paddle into caves and lagoons yourself rather than watch them pass from a larger boat—the two canoe sessions are what set this trip apart from standard Phang Nga Bay sightseeing tours. The fixed schedule and included transport mean the whole day holds together without you arranging pickups, timing or logistics.
Phuket Catamaran Cruise: Coral & Racha Islands Water ActivitiesA full-day catamaran cruise from Phuket to Coral Island and Racha Island combines snorkeling, paddleboarding, water slides and a floating pool with an onboard sunset party featuring a live DJ. The boat departs at 11:00 after hotel pickup and returns by 18:30, with lunch, snorkeling gear, island fees and a professional photographer included. Choose the option with hotel transfers or arrange your own way to the pier.Is it for me?Book the option with hotel transfers if you're arriving by air or prefer not to navigate to the pier yourself; choose the no-transfer option if you're staying near the waterfront or have your own transport arranged. Either way, the eight-hour window from pickup to return means you're back at your hotel by evening, leaving the rest of your day free.
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.
PADI Open Water Certification in Phuket: Learn to DiveA three-day PADI Open Water Diver Certification course in Phuket combines pool training in Chalong Bay with two full-day dives at Racha Yai and Racha Noi islands. You learn the basics in confined water, then practice skills on 50-minute dives in clear water with weak currents and abundant marine life. The course includes all instruction, equipment, certification materials, insurance and hotel pickup for the island days.Is it for me?Book this course if you're new to diving and want to earn your certification while diving two different islands—the pool day builds your skills safely, and the two island days let you practice in real conditions with weak currents and excellent visibility before you dive on your own.
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.
Phuket Airport to Hotel: Private Transfer & Meet-GreetYou get picked up by name at the airport exit, driven directly to your hotel in an air-conditioned car, and avoid arranging transport or haggling over fares. The fixed price and flight tracking mean you can land and go, whether you arrive at noon or midnight.Is it for me?Book this if you want to skip the taxi queue and arrive at your hotel without arranging transport or haggling over a fare—the fixed price and flight tracking take the uncertainty out of getting from the airport to your door.
Patong Stadium Muay Thai: Live Fights & Ringside SeatsYou’ll feel the pulse of real Muay Thai at Patong Boxing Stadium in Phuket — from the smell of liniment in the air to live matches with local fighters. Watch up close from stadium or ringside seats as athletes perform rituals and battle it out. It’s raw, loud, sometimes funny, always unforgettable.
Scuba Diving Racha Yai Island: 4:1 Divemaster RatioA scuba diving day trip to Racha Yai Island from Phuket includes hotel pickup, two dives up to 20 meters with a 4:1 divemaster ratio, breakfast and lunch cooked onboard, and access to a covered sundeck. Certified divers, intro divers (no certification needed) and snorkelers all go on the same departure. The boat is the operator's own, staffed by 5-star multilingual guides and an onboard chef.Is it for me?Book this if you want to dive deeper than the usual resort boat allows — the 4:1 ratio and the operator's own boat mean you're not one of a dozen divers on a line, and intro divers can go without certification. If you're certified and want to see wrecks and deeper reefs in one morning, or if you're bringing a snorkeler and want one boat instead of two, this solves both.
Phi Phi Island & Maya Bay yacht cruise with gourmet lunchThis yacht cruise departs Royal Phuket Marina and sails the Andaman Sea to Maya Bay and Monkey Beach, with a maximum of 18 guests aboard a modern luxury vessel.

Phuket: Krabi Islands & Phang Nga Bay Yacht Tour with LunchYou board a small-group yacht at Royal Phuket Marina with a welcome cocktail and fresh towels; swim and snorkel at Hong Islands' lagoon and beach; eat gourmet lunch on deck overlooking the water; explore Phang Nga Bay at sunset with a drink in hand; and return to your hotel by evening without arranging any transport yourself.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full day on the water with swimming, snorkeling, and sunset views without managing multiple boat transfers, lunch logistics, or park fees — the yacht handles all of it, and the small group size means you're not competing for space or the crew's attention.
Krabi Islands: Private boat tour with guide & lunchOn this private Krabi Islands day trip, you’ll swim off white beaches at Koh Yao Yai, snorkel near Chicken Island’s coral reefs, enjoy lunch at Railay Beach among locals and travelers, and explore Hong Islands’ hidden lagoon with your guide. It’s an easygoing day full of small surprises and moments you’ll remember long after you’ve rinsed off the salt.
Snorkeling in Phuket: Racha Yai with PADI instructorsSnorkeling and scuba diving at Racha Yai Island departs from Phuket with PADI-certified instructors, full equipment, and hotel pickup from Patong, Kata, Karon and nearby areas. You choose between a Discover Scuba experience in shallow water, a certified fun dive on coral reefs, snorkeling only, or a refresher dive if your certification has lapsed. Breakfast, lunch, drinks and activity insurance are included; the trip runs seven hours.Is it for me?Book the Discover Scuba option if you want to earn your first certification in shallow, protected water with an instructor watching every move. Choose Certified Fun Dive if you already have your card and want to explore deeper coral reefs on the same boat. The Non Diver option suits anyone who wants to snorkel alongside divers without getting certified, or who prefers to rest on deck while others are in the water.
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.
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.
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.
