If you’re obsessed with capturing perfect shots for your Instagram feed or just love exploring gorgeous spots with a camera in hand, the Private Phuket Selfie Instagram Morning Tour promises a fun, tailored experience. While we haven’t personally joined this tour, from all the info available, it looks like an excellent mix of sightseeing, culture, and photography, all wrapped into a flexible half-day adventure.
What really draws us in are three standout features: the opportunity for airplane spotting at Mai Khao Beach, the multitude of themed photo booths at the Selfie Museum, and the chance to wander through Old Phuket Town’s colorful streets. Plus, the private aspect means a more personalized experience, which is often worth the slightly higher price. That said, one thing to consider is the tour’s focus on Instagrammable moments — if you’re after a more cultural or nature-heavy experience, this might feel a bit curated. This tour appears ideal for social media lovers, first-time visitors seeking iconic shots, and anyone wanting a fun, flexible half-day in Phuket.
