Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1: Start Phuket

Location: Phuket

Accommodation Name: Novotel Phuket Resort (or similar)

Meals Included: Dinner

8 days of exotic lands and much hyped Thai beaches await us. The high-on-life vibes will be inevitable once we join forces in Phuket for the first of our stays. We’ll get acquainted and slip into island time. Stylish stays and a banging evening party will be on the agenda.

Day 2: Phuket

Location: Phuket

Accommodation Name: Novotel Phuket Resort (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Well good morning explorers, it's your first full day so time to get movin' and shakin'. We’ll set off on a sightseeing tour of the town and take the most perfect group pics in front of the Big Buddha. Take the rest of the day off to vibe with your new besties in the sun. After a day of relaxing, its time for an evening of partying! Let’s hit the bright lights and wild antics of Bangla Road and really take things up a notch.

Day 3: Phuket To Koh Phi Phi

Location: Phuket, Phi Phi Islands

Accommodation Name: Chaokoh Phi Phi Hotel And Resort (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

It's day three and 'mai pen rai - don't worry, be happy' is now pretty much the group mentality. Enjoy a lazy breakfast and catch some rays before we hit the Andaman Sea in search of one very famous beach... Arriving in Koh Phi Phi will leave you in a daze of love and happiness. More scenic than your wildest dreams, this island is home for the next few days. Glorious long salty days, balmy nights and endless ocean explorations are calling. Dine on the herb-filled rice salad with grated coconut that is khao yam, watch the sunset from Koh Phi Phi's highest vantage point, or stroll postcard beaches alongside playful monkeys. Definitely an evening you won't be forgetting in a hurry.

Day 4: Koh Phi Phi

Location: Phi Phi Islands

Accommodation Name: Chaokoh Phi Phi Hotel And Resort (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

The island is your playground and the day is yours to do whatever your heart desires. We're recommending our Day on the Bay Free Time Add-On - the perfect mix of island hopping, swimming and chillaxing. Afterwards, squeeze in one last beachside stroll with the flickering island lights as your backdrop, soaking up the island sounds and Pad Thai smells... this is what we call living.

Day 5: Koh Phi Phi To Krabi

Location: Phi Phi Islands, Krabi

Accommodation Name: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

Although we're leaving Koh Phi Phi and heading to mainland Thailand today, our salty seadog spirit won't change a bit. The exotic paradise of Krabi is calling our names, and who are we to resist… This afternoon we'll soak in the small town feels of Ao Nang. Friendly locals, massage haunts, local markets and seaside cocktails can perfect your day like kaffir lime to a mojito.

Day 6: Krabi

Location: Krabi

Accommodation Name: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Back on the Thai mainland we'll take in the island vistas from the charming setting of Krabi. Today you can opt for a speed boat cruise of Phang Nga Bay to see the famous James Bond Island. Local markets, cheap massages & sunset cocktails can reward us from our adventurous day out.

Day 7: Krabi

Location: Krabi

Accommodation Name: Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Rise and shine, we have a full free day to make the most of everything Krabi has to offer! Maybe you’ll chillax on Railay beach, or maybe you’ll get a sweat on during the optional rock climbing activity. Tonight, you're free to grab your crew for a sunset dinner and end the trip in style.

Day 8: Krabi To Phuket

Location: Krabi, Phuket

Meals Included: Breakfast

After one final morning in paradise it's back on the coach to Phuket where you'll have the option to visit some gentle giants before letting our adventure come to an end. It’s time for one final cuddle puddle with your new travel fam. Swap details, share all the photos, and laugh again at the memories, then we’ll transfer you back to the airport or our starting Beach Resort.

My amazing trip to Africa

13-Jan-2023

Sherif was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single small detail at each site that we visited. In addition to his great service, he has a glowing spirit that made me feel like I had family with me the entire trip. Anything that I was concerned about, he always had an answer and was there to help. I truly enjoyed my experience and will purchase a tour with him in the future
