Phuket Explorer - Half Day Tour

The largest island in Thailand, Phuket is frequently referred to as the "Pearl of the Andaman" or the "Pearl of the south." Phuket offers guests much more than what most people think of when they hear about our island: serene blue waters, miles of white sand beaches, bright sunshine, a rainforest for hiking, and world-class scuba diving. Phuket City is a popular tourist destination because of its breathtaking Sino-Portuguese architecture. Travelers from all walks of life have always been impressed by the island's unique culture and way of life.

Discover Phuket Island's hidden gems by taking a full- or half-day trip that takes you through our rich history, distinctive culture, and picturesque landscape. Off-the-beaten-path locations and people are carefully concealed behind all the newest resorts.

Old Phuket Tour, a local business founded in 1992 with the goal of organizing tours that promote the culture and way of life of the inhabitants, is in charge of The Phuket Explorer. Our products have been highly successful for over 20 years thanks to our beneficial collaboration with renowned Phuket locals and history professors at the local university. We take great pride in the fact that we work to promote and educate tourists from all walks of life about the history and culture of the amazing island of Phuket. Not what most tourists see, but how Phuket used to be before its numerous resorts became the primary source of income for its residents.

Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions

We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!

Excellent day!

Excellent day by boat to visit the 4 islands, the guide was super friendly and welcoming. The day was rhythmic but lorgic with 4 islands to visit! And end around 2:30 pm so it’s rather nice to return quietly to the hotel not too late! Nice discovery, I recommend!

Excellente journée!

Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!

Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
