Phuket City Tour – Big Buddha, Wat Chalong & Old Town
Phuket's Best Half-Day Highlights: 7 Programs to Choose From
Discover the best of Phuket in one easy half-day trip. Every Phuket City Tour program visits the island's two must-see landmarks — the giant marble Big Buddha and the sacred Wat Chalong temple — and then branches into a different mix of activities so you can pick the pace and experience that suits you.
Choose from 7 programs ranging from a relaxed sightseeing route with Kata Viewpoint and Old Phuket Town, to a more active day with ATV riding, elephant trekking, or the playful monkey and snake shows. One program even opens with the Promthep Cape sunset. All programs include a stop at the honey bee farm, cashew nut factory and souvenir shop, and run in air-conditioned comfort with an English-speaking guide.

Big Buddha Phuket
Sitting atop the Nakkerd Hills, the 45-metre Big Buddha is covered in white Burmese marble and is one of the most important and beautiful landmarks of Phuket, offering panoramic views over the south of the island.
Wat Chalong
The largest and most revered temple in Phuket, enshrining the gilt statues of monk-heroes Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Pho Chuang, both much respected by local people for their roles in quelling the miner rebellion of 1876.
Old Phuket Town
Wander the colourful Sino-Portuguese shophouses of Thalang and Dibuk roads, a legacy of the tin-mining era when Chinese and European traders settled and built this distinctive architectural style.
Kata Viewpoint & Promthep Cape
Kata Viewpoint, locally called "Khao Saam Haad" (Three Beaches Hill), looks out over Kata Noi, Kata Yai and Karon beaches. Promthep Cape, at the island's southern tip, is famous as one of the best spots in Phuket to watch the sunset.
