Begin on the green slopes of Kata and make your way to where the towering Big Buddha statue sits. This is a more advanced trek (approximately 95 minutes, four km) that takes you through the habitat of diverse plants and wildlife that call this area home.
At the observation point, you can enjoy fresh coconut water and seasonal Thai fruits as you admire the view of Karon Beach, one of Phuket’s longest beaches with f ive kilometres of white sand. Your guide will give you a private tour of the Big Buddha when you arrive, and you have the option of receiving blessings from the monks at the White Big Buddha Temple – Phuket’s largest Buddhist temple – or donating to them. For all routes, we take care of any transfers to and from COMO Point Yamu, as well as entrance fees where necessary. We also arrange for the services of a professional guide, along with refreshing beverages and nourishing snacks for the journey.
