Overview

Start your morning with a moment of true peace.

This private or shared tour takes you to the island's most beautiful heights to watch the sunrise over the Andaman Sea. While the city is still quiet, you will head to Wat Chalong for a traditional monk blessing—a powerful, spiritual experience that most travelers miss. From the calm of the Big Buddha to the vibrant flavors of a local fresh market, this is the most authentic way to begin your day in Phuket.
