Tourists who have indulged themselves in a Phuket island tour package, have always come away from the experience with fond memories to last a lifetime.
The islands around Phuket are world-famous for their unspoiled beauty. They have been the backdrop for countless movies over the years. This movie exposure has made them a top tourist attraction for visitors to Phuket.
The rugged cliffs, lush vegetation and turquoise waters surrounding the islands are utterly enchanting when you see them close up for the first time. But a visit to the islands also offers you a chance to explore them on foot and bask on their pristine beaches. For ocean lovers, you can also snorkel the reefs surrounding the islands or explore the many caves and hidden lagoons in the islands by sea kayak.
Preparing for Your Day of Exploration and Discovery
When you join one of the Phuket island tour packages, your day will begin early. Most of the tour operators will pick you up in a minibus at your accommodations wherever they are on the island of Phuket. They will drop you off at the pier where you’ll be whisked out the islands you’ve chosen to visit and then bring you back to your accommodations at the end of your day of adventure.
Be sure to come prepared. Pack a bag or a small backpack with a camera, change of clothes, swimsuit, towel, plenty of sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. If you visit the floating Muslim village, you should bring along some money for snacks and souvenirs.
You won’t need to carry water with you as the boat will provide it, as well as fruit juices, sodas and lunch, depending on which tour you book. For footwear, it’s best to wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, as you’ll be hopping on and off the boat in shallow water. Waterproof sandals suitable for walking are the best choice of footwear.
Islands of Phang Nga Bay
The islands of Phang Nga Bay are mainly part of a national marine park in Thailand. Depending on the specific island, there is no development allowed. This means that some of the islands feature plenty of birds and wildlife to see. Macaques, gibbons, monitor lizards, and turtles and other wildlife are the only full-time inhabitants on the islands within the marine park.
The crystal-clear waters surrounding the islands are home to an abundance of colorful reef fish, anemones, and both hard and soft corals. The government of Thailand has done an excellent job policing and maintaining the pristine quality of the islands.
Maya Bay on Ko Phi Phi Le, one of the Phi Phi islands, has famously been closed to all tourists by the authorities to allow for the survival of the marine life in the bay.
But there are still plenty of stunning areas left to visit and areas to explore. Indulging in a Phuket island tour package will provide you with some of your most favorite memories on your holiday.
