Best excursions in Phuket in summer 2025 - where to go in the rainy season
Summer in Phuket coincides with the rainy season, which lasts from May to October. Despite this, the resort remains attractive to travelers due to its warm climate, green landscapes and fewer tourists. The main thing is to choose the right excursions that are suitable for this time of year. Below we will tell you about the best options for vacationers in the summer.
Excursions to the nearest islands without waves
In summer, the west coast often experiences waves, so it is better to choose destinations where the sea remains calm all the time.
Coral Island (Koh He)
Located just 15 minutes from Phuket, this is an ideal option for families with children and those who do not tolerate seasickness. There is white sand, clear water, snorkeling and beach relaxation. You can choose a full-day or half-day program.
Yao Yai Island
A lesser-known destination that is suitable for both active travelers and those who just want to lie on the beach. There are programs with quad biking and jet skiing. A great place for relaxation and photo sessions. There is only one downside - at low tide the water becomes muddy.
Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island Tour
Due to the peculiarities of the bay, the sea here is always calm - even during the rainy season. This is a unique place with limestone cliffs, caves and mangroves.
There are programs on a speedboat , on a large ship and a catamaran (with extended time for beach relaxation).
Excursions to the islands of Krabi province (including Phi Phi)
These programs visit bays without waves, where you can swim. But on windy days - you can be caught by waves on the road, so it is better to choose excursions on catamarans or large speedboats. On such transport, the rocking is felt less and you will not have to sacrifice your comfort in order to see famous places.
Bus excursions with scenic routes deep into the mainland
When the sea is rough and boat excursions are suspended, bus routes come to the rescue, which are especially popular with families with children and those looking for a holiday without the rocking and sea spray.
Khao Lak National Park
An excursion to Khao Lak National Park is suitable for those who want to enjoy the silence, greenery and nature of mainland Thailand.
The route is leisurely and very picturesque, perfect even for travelers with children.
Rafting and Jungle Adventures
For those who are looking for an active holiday even in summer, a one-day tour with rafting on an artificial mountain river is suitable. In addition to whitewater rafting, quad biking, ziplining, swimming under a waterfall and a visit to a cave with a reclining Buddha are included (depending on the program).
Amazing Phang Nga + Mai Khao
This is one of the most intense and picturesque excursions, which is ideal in case of rainy weather. This program can be found under the name "Avatar".
