The Experience

Before You Go

Heed the weight limit

Providers cap riders at 120 kg—check weight requirements when booking to avoid last-minute issues.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet on ATVs and during platform climbs.

Hydrate and pace during heat

Bring a refillable water bottle and avoid the midday sun; take breaks between runs.

Tell guides about any worries

If you’re new to ATVs or uncomfortable with heights, notify staff—routes and line order can be adjusted.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Karon ‘Three Beaches’ viewpoint for panoramic shots with fewer people than Patong
  • Small roadside stalls near the ATV camp serving local fruit shakes and savory snacks

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques
  • Monitor lizards

Conservation Note

Stick to established tracks and don’t feed wildlife—off-road expansion and trash are the main local impacts; operators often run briefings on Leave No Trace and limit group sizes.

The ridge roads and viewpoints were historically used for coastal observation; nearby temples like Big Buddha reflect Phuket’s long-standing Buddhist traditions and maritime trade links.
