Tour Description:

Let us invite you on a journey soaring over the “Pearl of the South.” Now you can enjoy the grand spectacle of Phuket Island like never before. Your Phuket journey begins at the Phuket heliport located in Sakoo close to Nai Yang beach, just minutes from the Phuket International Airport.

Just after take-off, you’ll pass Nai Thon beach before encircling the “Millionaires' Mile,” home to the millionaires of Phuket. From there, your captain will take you along the coast of Layan and Bang Tao beach before flying over to Surin and Kamala beach. From Kamala beach, you will head over to Kalim and cruise along the coast of Patong beach at a lower altitude.

Next, we’ll hop over to gaze at the beautiful bays and white sand beaches of Karon, Kata, and Kata Noi. Upon this advancement, you’ll get a glimpse of the “half-moon” bay of Nai Harn beach. At the southern tip of Phuket, you’ll have the opportunity to observe Phrom Thep Cape like never before. This romantic sunset hotspot is a must see destination, as busloads of visitors gather to watch the sun slowly kissing the ocean.

Our flight then takes you atop the “Big Buddha, “encircling this magnificent piece of artwork. This Phra Puttamingmongkol Akenakkiri Buddha – to give it its official name, will be one of the best photo opportunities ever. This Buddha statue, 45 meters high and 25 meters wide, hence the “Big Buddha,” was built entirely off of donations.

While your mind is still revolving around this grand monument, your pilot will cruise over the Chalong temple or “Wat Chalong,” the 29th and one of the most ornate Buddhist temples on Phuket Island. The temple was dedicated to two highly revered monks, Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Pho Chuang since 1876. It now stands as one of the “must see” locations for visitors of Phuket.

Your journey continues with Phuket’s newest hilly golf course, Red Mountain Golf Course, officially launched July 2009. You may notice different elevations for this golf course, with cliffs and canyons, which makes it one of the new challenges for golfers on Phuket Island. Looking ahead, you’ll notice a structure that resembles medieval architecture or a castle from afar, The British International School, Phuket. This is a well-established international educational institution, which is absolutely marvelous to see from the sky. Here you will have a glimpse over the Royal Phuket Marina, overshadowed by the beautiful Phang Nga bay.

Your captain will breeze through Phuket’s tropical rainforest heading directly back to the Phuket heliport. On this last stretch, you’ll get a glimpse of how the local Thai live along with the plantations of the Thalang district.
