Its an ATV experience with a car ride up to the Big Buddah in between, you don't take the ATV's up there. Instead the ATV part is going around in circles in a small area that has lots of different tracks and terrain you are not 'exploring' from Point A to Point B just looking at the same things 10-15 times as you go around the narrow paths. There are two stops at scenic look outs & the Big Buddah visit where you have about 20-30 mins to look at it. We did 1.30 mins on the ATV which was way too long for what it was in a confined area going around and around the same tracks. We got to experience lots of puddles and mud as well as heavy downpour so was a great experience from that point of view but not a scenic tour on ATV's as you may imagine.
Dear Paul_D, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for choosing our ATV Tour with Big Buddha Visit. We're glad you enjoyed the muddy trails, puddles, and the adventure despite the heavy rain! We'd like to clarify that our ATV route is intentionally designed to be beginner-friendly and suitable for first-time riders. Safety is our highest priority, especially since ATV riding is an extreme activity. Rather than riding on public roads or steep mountain trails, our purpose-built track offers a variety of terrain and obstacles in a controlled environment, allowing guests to enjoy the experience while minimizing risk. The Big Buddha visit is included as a separate sightseeing stop and is reached by vehicle for safety reasons, so guests have time to explore the landmark comfortably. For guests booking the 1.5-hour ATV option, we also offer additional activities, such as our swing experience, which can be added to make the session even more enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps future guests better understand the nature of this experience. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back to Phuket for another adventure! Regards, Nick

It means a lot to us that you’d recommend the tour, and we’d love to welcome you back for another ATV adventure in Phuket. See you again soon! Regards, Nick
The zip lining and ATV ride were amazing! Once getting to the Big Buddha, the group was then stuck waiting for over an hour. This was because the driver of our vehicle had no license and there were police at the bottom of the hill patrolling…. So once an hour had passed another company came to pick us up and took us back to the ATV park where they wanted us to continue with another ATV ride. At this point it is pouring rain. After telling them no NUMEROUS times and telling various staff we were all done we then waited another 20 minutes for another car to pick us up to take us to our hotels. The beginning of the day was not too bad but make sure the drivers of your cars have licenses!
Dear Macy_H, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’d like to clarify that the delay was not because the driver had no license. The issue was related to the vehicle’s operating classification, which required us to arrange an alternative transfer to ensure compliance with local regulations. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the long wait, especially with the heavy rain. We understand how frustrating that must have been. As a gesture of goodwill, we have already provided compensation for the inconvenience. Your feedback has been taken seriously, and we have already reviewed and improved our transportation procedures to help prevent this from happening again. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you all the best on your future travels. Sincerely, Nick

Just wanted to share my experience — overall it was amazing thanks to the tour guides. They truly made the day fun, safe, and memorable. My only real critique is the check‑in and checkout process. It feels rushed when they want you to sign paperwork, but then you end up waiting forever when it’s time to go home. This excursion was great. Definitely wear something you don’t mind getting dirty because you will get dusty. We even got dusty before taking pictures at the Big Buddha, but honestly it all flowed together and didn’t ruin anything. The tour guides were incredible — bring cash to tip them because they work hard to make sure you get good memories, great photos, and feel comfortable, especially during the zip lining. My only “grow” is better communication with drop‑off. We waited about 20 minutes for a ride back, asked about it, and were told it would be another 15 minutes. At that point we were tired, dirty, and ready to go, so we just used Grab (their version of Uber). The price of the excursion is absolutely worth everything you get to experience, but we didn’t use their transportation again since we already had a ride there and didn’t want to wait 40 minutes to get home, especially being an hour away.
Dear Faith_B, Thank you so much for your detailed review and for sharing your experience with us. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the activity and that our guides helped make your day fun, safe, and memorable. Your kind words truly mean a lot to our team. Regarding the transfer, we would like to clarify that our transportation is shared and follows a fixed schedule. Occasionally, waiting time may occur. In your case, as you chose to come to the location by yourself, the return timing may have been slightly different from the main transfer schedule. That said, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. We will continue working closely with our team to improve communication and timing to ensure a smoother experience for all guests. Thank you again for your understanding and for your valuable feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, Nix
