Full-day Phuket SUNSET by power catamaran from Phuket

-What you can expect-
You're in for an afternoon of Thai island hopping at its finest on this catamaran trip to Phuket's southern isles. You'll snorkel and splash in the shallows, take in a bit of the local culture and tuck into a sunset dinner, before a wander through the colourful old town.

Set sail from the Royal Phuket Marina and head south to Bon Island. Picture a desert island with palm trees overhanging the water and you're pretty much there. It's your first chance to take a dip in the Andaman Sea and it's a great spot for snorkelling on the coral reef – it's teeming with marine life. At your next stop, Koh Kaew Yai, you'll have free time to roam the island and visit its huge golden Buddha, which sits crossed-legged looking out to sea. There's also a small temple you can visit, complete with resident Buddhist monks.

Dinner is served on a private beach at your next stop, Koh Lone Island. There's time to relax here and watch the sunset streak the sky with soft pinks and fiery oranges. If you choose the Wednesday tour, your day ends here with a minivan transfer back. But, if you choose the Sunday option, you'll cruise back to Phuket and finish off your evening with a stroll through the old town, where you can find local products and handmade trinkets – ideal for souvenir hunting. Take in the pastel-painted houses and eclectic street art as the scent of incense and spices fill the air.
