Phuket Paradise ATV and Zipline Adventure — Jungle Trails, Big Buddha Views & Treetop Zipline
Throttle up and clip in for a three-hour assault on Phuket’s jungle: ATV tracks that cut through rubber plantations, a panoramic stop at the Big Buddha, and a treetop zipline that pushes you across the canopy. Practical, fast-paced, and guided for mixed abilities.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early and hydrate
Morning departures beat the heat and provide better visibility at the Big Buddha—drink water before departure and take the provided bottle on the tour.
Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants
ATV trails are muddy and abrasive; long pants protect against brush and zipline harness chafing.
Secure electronics
Use a wrist strap or waterproof pouch—phones should be stowed during high-speed zipline runs unless mounted safely.
Follow the guide’s instructions
Guides can stop risky riding; obey briefing and harness checks to keep the group moving and safe.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Karon Viewpoint (Three Beaches) for a quick detour with coastal panoramas
- •Quiet rubber plantation tracks where local workers harvest latex—great for mellow photo stops

Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails, avoid feeding wildlife, and minimize single-use plastics—guides often emphasize leaving the jungle as you found it to protect soil and native species.
The Big Buddha was constructed in stages with donations beginning in the early 2000s; its white marble facing was chosen for durability and luminous views across the island.
