Weather
WEATHER APPS
For the most accurate and up-to-date weather information during your stay in Phuket, we recommend using specialized weather apps like Windguru or Windy. These apps provide detailed forecasts and real-time data to ensure you have the most reliable information at your fingertips.
WEATHER REPORTS
At Phuket Explore, your safety is our top priority. Before every trip, we meticulously check tides, swell charts, and weather reports. If there is any potential risk to you or our boats, we will cancel the trip well in advance. However, please note that a little rain won’t dampen our spirits. It’s common for Phuket to experience brief showers, usually lasting around 30 minutes, with the rest of the day filled with glorious sunshine.
INDIAN OCEAN
Due to the open exposure to the Indian Ocean swells, we carefully assess our Phi Phi islands tour on a daily basis, especially between June and October. During this period, there may be instances where these tours need to be canceled. Should this occur, you will have the option to receive a full refund or switch to a Phang Nga Bay tour. The Phang Nga Bay tours offer a more sheltered experience with smaller waves and reduced wind effects, making them an excellent alternative during June to October.
Rest assured, we strive to provide you with unforgettable experiences while prioritizing your safety and comfort.
