Phuket Adventures
Phuket has proved to be a popular center for adventure tourism, with several operators offering various programs. In fact, the one sight not to be missed around Phuket, Phang Nga Bay, is best seen by sea canoe, which classifies as an adventure in my book. John Gray Sea Canoe is one of the most respected operators of this type of tour, and they have several other trips on offer.
Listed below are several other adventurous day trips that you can book in advance. Booking in advance helps to ensure you get exactly what you want, without having to worry about dealing with a hotel tour desk or searching out a tour operator once you get there.
