What Phuket Offers Luxury Travelers Looking for Adventure
October 14, 2016
Imagine a place where crystal clear blue water meets beautiful, several hundred meters high mountains. Imagine yourself there and think about what you would like to do.
Would you hop on a bike and explore the hills? Would go scuba diving to explore a sunken ferry? Or would just sit on the sand with a cocktail in your hand?
Let's see what
Phuket
has in store for travelers
looking for adrenaline
.
Water Sports for Luxury Travelers
In Phuket, tourists looking for water sports have three options, based on the time of their vacation. The island has calm waters from November to April and rough waves from May to October.
•
Scuba Diving or Snorkeling
From November to April, you can go scuba diving or snorkeling.
Luxury travelers will find dedicated services in Phuket.
They can provide guidance, gear, and transportation to some of the best places to see.
For example, you could explore the MS King Cruiser wreck. This car ferry sank in 1997. Now, it is part of the ecosystem, and
it looks stunning
.
•
Surfing
From May to October, Phuket is
a great place for surfers
. Rough and wild waves - though not as big as in Hawaii - make for great fun.
There are many instructors and gear shops available to luxury travelers looking to ride some waves. You don't need to be experienced to surf in Phuket.
•
White Water Rafting
Get your friends together and experience some intense moments. Phuket has a few of the best brooks and creeks for rafting. Luxury travelers can get gear and instructions from local specialized shops and instructors.
White water rafting is one of the most adrenaline packed activity you can find in Phuket. After you're done, make sure to visit the waterfalls as well.
A Thrilling Moto Experience
If water is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of activities you can do on land as well. 70% of Phuket's surface is covered with mountains. The highest elevation point is
over 500 meters
above sea level.
That makes a great environment for
motocross
. Luxury travelers don't need to bring their own bikes. There are local shops that can hook you up with the gear.
For a small fee, you will also get
one-on-one training
. The tracks are great and offer adrenaline-packed challenges even for the most experienced riders.
Jungle Bungee Jumping
Phuket also has to offer two stunning places for bungee jumping from heights of over 50 meters. While it's not a sport for your average luxury travelers, it does pump the adrenaline through your veins.
After your body is
filled with adrenaline
, you can just sit back and enjoy some Thai cuisine. Or maybe grab a cocktail and plan your next luxury adventure.
There are many
luxury accommodation options in Phuket
for you, your family and friends.
