Phuket ATV & Zipline to Big Buddha: Jungle Trails and Panoramic Views
Ride through rubber-plantation trails to the Nakkerd Hills and view the Big Buddha from a high ridge, then switch gears on a zipline through the canopy. This 90-minute combo packs scenery, culture, and adrenaline into a short, family-friendly outing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
ATV tracks are dusty and can be slippery after rain; sturdy trainers or hiking shoes improve control and protect your feet.
Bring sun protection
Sunscreen and a hat under your helmet keep you comfortable between shaded stretches and exposed viewpoints.
Know the weight and health limits
Maximum participant weight is around 110 kg and the tour isn’t recommended for pregnant guests or those with spinal/heart issues.
Hydrate before and after
Tropical heat makes short activities unexpectedly taxing; drink water provided on the tour and carry a small bottle if you feel warm-prone.
