What Food Is Served on Phuket Tours?
By the PhuketGO tour desk on Phuket — we book and run these trips every week · Updated 13 October 2026
Lunch is included on every sea day and on the full land days — the six-hour sightseeing tour is the exception — and on the early trips breakfast is too. What you eat depends on the route: a buffet on Phi Phi Don, seafood on stilts in Phang Nga Bay, a Thai buffet on the Similan boat, or your own catch cooked on the fishing boat.

What is lunch on the island days?
Phi Phi with Khai island: a buffet on shore with vegetarian dishes. Other Phi Phi days: lunch on Phi Phi Don, at a beach restaurant on the Bamboo and fishing day. Racha and Coral: Thai lunch at a beachfront restaurant on Coral island. Coral island from Rawai: seafood and Thai dishes on the island. Krabi tropical paradise: lunch with the sea in front of you, plus a cocktail served in a coconut. The rest of the Krabi island day is on Krabi four islands tour from Phuket. Lunch on Coral island comes at 12:00 on the Rawai trip and at 12:30 on the speedboat day; the snorkel stops around it are on Racha or Coral for snorkelling. On the sunrise fishing boat lunch is cooked from the catch at Racha Yai; is the sunrise fishing trip worth it covers what happens if nothing bites.
The classic Similan day serves a Thai buffet on the boat — chicken, fish, vegetables, rice, fruit, water, coffee; the early boat hands out a lunch box on island 8.
All of these are included in the price. If an empty beach on Racha Yai sounds worth an early alarm, read whether the Racha and Coral sunrise tour is worth it. On the Racha trips lunch is on Coral island or on Phi Phi Don depending on the boat, as Racha and Coral islands: speedboat or catamaran lays out.
And in Phang Nga Bay?
Seafood over the water. On the James Bond island day, a restaurant on stilts. On the Phang Nga land days, crab, prawns, fish and squid in the sea gypsy floating village. On the eleven-islands day and the two-day trips, lunch in Panyi village. On the Phang Nga skywalk day that lunch comes at noon, after the longtail through the mangroves. If that lunch decides it, how to book a James Bond island tour covers the booking. Both Phang Nga days eat seafood over the water, in different villages; Samet Nangshe or James Bond island compares the rest.
What about the fishing boat?
Lunch is cooked on board from the day's catch: grilled fish, tom yum, chicken and rice, and sashimi when the catch includes fish suitable for eating raw. You can take the rest of your catch with you.
Is breakfast included on early trips?
Yes, where the pickup is early. Breakfast boxes on Phi Phi and Racha at sunrise (sandwiches, fruit, juice on Phi Phi). A buffet at the top of the skywalk. A buffet at the pier on the early Similan boat, breakfast on board on the classic one. Hot breakfast in a lounge at the pier on the catamaran; a full breakfast at Royal Phuket Marina on the eleven-islands day; breakfast on board on the diving and fishing days. The rest of the catamaran's day, lunch and sunset cocktails included, is weighed up in Phi Phi and Racha Yai catamaran: worth it?.
The two-day trips add a dinner and a breakfast at the hotel on Phi Phi Don — with wine on Five pearls. The hotel itself is covered on which hotel is on the Four Pearls tour.
I am vegetarian or have allergies. What should I do?
Tell us when you book. The Khai island buffet lists vegetarian dishes; elsewhere the kitchen is on an island or a boat, and there may be no alternative on the spot unless it is arranged in advance. For children who are picky, bring snacks they know. The rest of the Khai island day is weighed on is the Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Khai speedboat worth it.
What is served on the land days?
Thai lunch at a local restaurant on the rafting days and the Khao Lak safari. Seafood in the floating village on the Phang Nga days. Lunch with a view over Phang Nga Bay at the Samet Nangshe viewpoint on the elephant beach day. A traditional Thai lunch at a local café on Secrets of Krabi. Lunch at a floating restaurant in the middle of Cheow Lan lake. Thai lunch on the Avatar world day. It comes at noon, between the elephant bath and the Samet viewpoint — see the Avatar world card. The sightseeing tour includes no drinks, so bring water. Its stops and extras are on Phuket sightseeing in half a day. Lunch at the viewpoint itself is on the elephant beach day, at 13:30; Samet Nangshe at sunrise or in the afternoon lists all the times. The Avatar day for families is laid out on is the Avatar world tour suitable for children. Is Cheow Lan worth five hours on the road? Is the Cheow Lan lake day trip worth it answers that honestly. On the Khao Lak safari lunch is Thai, at 13:50, and drinks with it are extra; is the safari worth it lists the rest. If you would rather cook Thai food than only eat it, the Thai cooking class on Phuket runs in Thalang and Phuket Town.
What about the diving and jet ski days?
On the diving day, breakfast on board with coffee, tea and light food, and lunch on board — Thai food, water, tea, coffee. On the jet ski tour, lunch on a private beach on Naka Noi island at 10:45, in the middle of the four hours. How the two dives fit around those meals is on beginner scuba diving day trip. The rest of the jet ski morning, stop by stop, is on can beginners do the jet ski island tour.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes — snacks you know are a good idea, especially for children. Facilities on the Similan islands are limited, so on that trip bring what you need or count on the boat. On the other routes, lunch and drinks are provided as listed on each card. Lunch cooked from your own catch happens on the sunrise fishing day; sunrise fishing or the Phi Phi fishing day sets it against the Phi Phi lunch.
What about the two-day trips?
Two lunches, a dinner and a breakfast are included on all three. Phi Phi two days: lunch at a beach restaurant, dinner at the hotel at 19:50, breakfast until ten, lunch on day two. Four pearls: lunch in Panyi, dinner at 19:50, breakfast at 07:30, lunch on Phi Phi Don. Five pearls: lunch in Panyi, dinner with wine at 18:50, breakfast, lunch on Phi Phi Don. On Five pearls that dinner comes before the optional night swim at 19:30; glowing plankton on a tour from Phuket has the details. On the Similans, toilets and the park cafe are only on islands 4 and 8, which matters with kids: the Similan islands with children.
What about drinks?
Drinking water, and on most sea days soft drinks and fruit on board, are included. Extra drinks and alcohol are usually your own; a few Comfort+ trips add beer at the pier and wine on return. Each card lists what is included. Dietary needs are worth a line in your first message; how booking works lists what else helps. On the jet ski tour lunch is on Naka Noi island at 10:45, on a private beach: is the jet ski island tour worth it.
