The tour sets off late morning and covers, in one loop, everything Phuket is known for away from the beaches. The van picks you up at your hotel between 11am and 11.30am, and drops you back between 4.30pm and 5pm.
The Big Buddha opens the route, a white marble statue set on the Nakkerd hills, with the whole southern half of the island laid out below. Then comes Chalong Temple, the busiest on Phuket, followed by the Nak-Kerd Sea Viewpoint and, later, Karon Viewpoint looking down over the three west-coast bays. In between, a stop at the cashew nut factory to taste the different flavours, and a walk through the Sino-Portuguese old town, the one place on the island where the souvenirs are worth carrying home.
Good to know: the tour ends at Chillva night market, which is at your own expense. Transport, site entries and the guide are included.
