seba1013 Posted February 6, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi! My family (me and my wife and our 4 year old daughter) is going on a cruise with royal caribbean (Voyager of the seas) from 15.6. to 19.6. and we will stop in Penang and Phuket. Ship does not offer many shore excursions and they are also expensive. I would like to know if there are some local tour agencies in the port who offer tours in Penang? What do you recomend? On Phuket we would like to do an elephant camp and tiger kingdom and do some sightseeing and a beach if we have the time (we will be there from 9am to 8pm). Is it the best option to take a private taxi for the whole day? What would that cost? Or is there a tour provider with that kind of itienarity? What about Phang Nga bay? Is it fun and nice to see? How long does it take to see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted February 9, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I was at both of these this past month. For Phuket, does your ship offer a snorkel tour to phi phi island? I highly recommend that, several on my cruise didn't get off the ship for Phuket. For Penang, it's pretty walkable, if you want the train or to see the temple you would need to take a bus or hire a taxi. There's also upside down museum and the komtar tower.

Mrs f. Posted February 11, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2020 In Phuket we used Tours by Locals. I "advertised" on Our roll call and immediately got my small group together. Our ship was half a day late getting into port and TBS rewrote our contract and refunded part of our money. We had a great e.5 he tour (was supposed to be 7 hrs).
