Phuket Jungle ATV & Zipline Combo — Big Buddha ATV Ride and Treetop Zipline
Throttle through muddy plantation trails to a Big Buddha viewpoint, then clip into a treetop zipline for a second helping of adrenaline. This combined ATV + zipline outing mixes hands-on driving, fast views, and local context—all with guides and transfers included.
The Experience

Stay hydrated and eat light
A light snack and water before departure help maintain focus during both the ride and zipline; water is provided.

Follow all instructions—operators will stop dangerous behavior and enforce zipline weight limits (~120 kg recommended).

Conservation Note
Stick to designated tracks to limit erosion and avoid disturbing wildlife; providers commonly emphasize leave-no-trace practices and supply water to reduce single-use plastic.
Many jungle roads follow routes developed during rubber plantation expansion in the 20th century; Big Buddha is a newer cultural landmark completed in the 2000s that commands panoramic views.
