Phuket Island not only blessed with beautiful beaches, Phuket has numerous other attractions to make any holidays in Phuket Island an experience to remember for a lifetime. On the island or off, a visitor's days can be easily filled with a wealth of exciting excursions, entertaining, educational and enjoyable encounters with the history, culture, and natural wonders that have helped make Phuket a holiday tour destination unsurpassed for its beauty and diversity. From a few minutes by speedboat to a day's sailing away, Phuket is surrounded by so many tropical islands, of such outstanding natural beauty, that literally weeks can be spent exploring. At the far north of Phuket's cruising grounds lie the nine islands of the Similan islands.

At the South east the most popular and populace of the islands off Phuket is a group of Phi Phi islands “Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Ley Island”. The latter of these was the stage for the recent Hollywood movie “The Beach” while the former has become a busy tourist destination, offering a range of accommodation and water sport activities. 20km southeast of Phuket, the Phi Phi islands also afford visitors some excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities. The sheltered waters of Phang nga Bay have their own gifts of nature peculiar to this region alone. Scattered around the bay, craggy, hollow limestone escarpments thrust up from the sea like primordial fortresses. Caves, cut through the friable rock by salt water and usually only accessible at certain times of the tide, allow access to remarkable microcosms of nature. It was in this region that part of the James Bond movie, “The Man with the Golden Gun” was filmed. Nowadays Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island became one of the most famous tourist attractions in Phuket. Best explored by yacht, private charters, day cruises and sea cave canoeing tours around Phang nga Bay are readily available from Phuket, while ferry transfer services, snorkeling and dive trips run to Phi Phi daily.
