Island Tours, Phuket, Thailand
In my research for Phuket, I found many options for island day trips. Some people advised to wait till we got to the island and decide what islands to see. Others said to book the trips before we left. I wanted the easiest possible vacation, so I booked three island tours spaced out over our last week in Phuket. I used a site to book all tours, but each was a different vendor. The four of us experienced many amazing things for the first time during these trips and we’re thankful for each tour.
Tour of Phi Phi and Khai Islands
This speedboat tour took us to Phi Phi Islands. We saw Maya Beach, Monkey Beach, Phi Phi Don Island, Khai Island, and we snorkeled in Pileh Lagoon. It was an amazing day that was only marred by the loss of my glasses when I jumped off the boat too fast and forgot to take them off, oops. But I had another pair back at the apartment, so it was not a total disaster.
Tour of James Bond Island
This tour took us to the James Bond Island by a large cruise boat. It was slower than the other tour, but a smoother easier ride that allowed for some fun stops along the way. We walked through Ice Cream Cave filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Then we canoed around a lagoon in Hong Island before going to the famous James Bond Island. After lunch we had time to jump off the boat and swim around a bay near Naka Island.
Tour of Coral Island
On New Years Day, we took an afternoon tour to Coral Island. We had a few hours to explore the beach, snorkel, and relax in the beauty of Coral Island. It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. On the way back to our apartment, our cab driver made a stop at a lookout point to enjoy the sunset.
