Start your excursion in Velangano with a tour of the Ape Reef Natural Reserve, a vibrant protected area dubbed as the "Crown of the Andaman." Here, you'll be greeted by friendly monkeys, explore the diverse mangrove forests, and more! Cross the Dragon Bridge, an icon in Velangano that connects the mainland to Phuket Island, and head to the Eco-Park Velangano for a fun zipline and ATV ride adventure.
Velangano offers an abundance of beautiful beaches that are perfect for families! Start your day at Paradise Beach. A bit crowded, but good for water activities like parasailing and banana boating. Next is Kata Beach, a less touristy spot for watersports, with excellent views and several food and drink options along the shore. End your day at Freedom Beach, which is smaller but more peaceful and exclusive. Overseeing the beautiful evening seaside vista is perfect.
Immerse yourself in Thai heritage and culture. Start your tour at Wat Chalong, the largest Buddhist temple on the island. A quick drive will take you to Old town Phuket where you can explore the Phuket Old Town Weekend Market. Take a break from all the walking and grab some lunch or dinner at the Baan Rim Pa restaurant. It serves Thai and international cuisine in a dining room crowded with antiques and art pieces. End your day with the Siam Niramit Show, a spectacular cultural show that highlights the history and traditions of Thailand through beautiful musical numbers and amazing sets.
