We had a great experience and would totally recommend this. The pickup and drop off from the hotel was on time and easy. The guides were great and provided a really fun experience. We did the 1 hour which was good for the day we went as it was really hot outside but we would have liked more time at the statue.

enjoyable experience in the jungle

Kerry_D, Apr 2024

We enjoyed our time on the bikes. We had a guide for our party of two who was patient and made sure we had a good time and really maximised our time in the jungle and captured pictures and videos for us. Our only feedback would be that it would have been better to visit the Buddha first when you’re not dusty from the jungle to get better pictures!

Quite a rush!

Rohan_S, Apr 2024

This trip is a total rush. It's not for young children as the ATVs need strong hands to keep them steady along the potholed jungle course. There are umpteen twists and turns, steep hairpin bends and narrow paths; it is incredibly fun. I nearly veered off the path at the start as I was not controlling the steering firmly enough. But I learnt from my mistake and absolutely loved the rest of the ride. We also went on the swing at the top which was fun. We had already seen the Big Buddha before so we stuck to the 1 hour "ride only" and don't regret it one bit.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear... Rohan_S Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the adrenaline rush of our ATV adventure.

Your cautionary note about the need for strong hands to handle the ATVs is duly noted. It's great to hear that despite the initial challenge, you quickly adapted and embraced the ride, ultimately loving the rest of the journey. We're delighted that you also had fun on the swing at the top! Thank you for choosing our "ride-only" option and for joining us on this adventure. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for more thrilling experiences in the future. Best regards, Nick

Great fun and value for money

Jonathan_S, Mar 2024

Great value for money. Plenty of time spent on the ATV and they provide water all along the trip. Only thing I’d say is maybe an extra ten minutes should be given to hangout at the big Buddha to take in the views as we only had 20 mins that went by too quick. I’d definitely do it again!

Dear Jonath, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're delighted to hear that you found our ATV tour to Big Buddha in Phuket to be great value for money and that you enjoyed the ample time spent riding the ATVs.

Newbies on an ATV wild ride

jerrellalittle, Feb 2024

It’s my daughter’s birthday and she wants to be adventurous. My husband and I negotiated her down to ATV from zip lining. We selected the 30 minute ride to Big Buddha. The price included transportation from our hotel. However, when I received confirmation, it stated transportation would be extra. For the distance between Paradise and our hotel the cost was fair. We had a wonderful guide that we followed around in the jungle and he recorded most of the trip. Living in an Ig, TikTok world the video and pics were perfect for posting! We are newbies and found the ATVs easy to ride. The path level was not difficult and had both ‘roller coaster’ and Sunday morning vibes. 10 out of 10 would recommend! I’m not saying you have to go, but for real YOU HAVE TO GO! Although, we didn’t actually ride up to Big Buddha, the 30 minutes we rode were absolutely awesome!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Great time- Money well spent

Benjamin_S, Feb 2024

This was a great excursion. My wife and I went on a 90 min ride. We saw Big Buddha, saw/got elephant kisses, and tons of pictures. The guide was helpful and nice. Always checking in on us. The guide also gave us cold water throughout the trip. He was easy to follow and was easy to understand. If you are not comfortable riding a bike or have never been on a quad before be careful. Both my wife and I have ridden quads before and there was challenging uphills and steep rutted downhills with leafs where the quads would start to slide. Although, still highly recommended!
