Thai Island Hopper West – September 13 to April 18, 2026 (8 Days) - From £523

8 days of exotic lands and those much hyped perfect Thai beaches sit ahead of us. The high-on-life vibes will be inevitable as we join forces in Phuket, start getting acquainted and allow ourselves to start slipping into island time. Hotel hangs and pool time will be high on the agenda.

Well good morning explorers, it's your first full day so time to get movin' and shakin'. Choose to spend some of the day with rescued elephants at the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary or if you'd rather, take to Phuket Town and admire the Chinese influenced local architecture - swing high or lay low, the choice is entirely yours. The bright lights and wild antics of Bangla Road can take things up a notch this evening!

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.

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.

Although we're leaving Koh Phi Phi and heading to mainland Thailand today, our sun-kissed 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, then enjoy an included dinner with the crew tonight.

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.

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

After one final morning in paradise it's back on the coach to Phuket where our adventure comes to an end. Have one final goodbye with your travel fam, then take our transfer either to the airport or back to our start hotel. Note: The Phuket Town Street Food Tour takes places on the last day (after the trip ends), finishing in Phuket Town around 5pm. You can choose to take part if you're staying in Phuket on this day/night. And afterwards, you can also choose to catch a transfer to the airport, or back to the hotel in Patong.
