Phuket Zipline and ATV Adventure: Jungle Canopy Zips & Off-Road Rides with Big Buddha Option
Clip in above the jungle canopy and follow it up with mud-splattered ATV trails — this Phuket combo pairs zipline platforms with guided off-road rides and an optional stop at the Big Buddha. Quick to book, family-friendly, and backed by hotel transfers and safety gear.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning departures
Mornings are cooler with clearer views and less chance of afternoon showers — schedule early to avoid heat and rain cancellations.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes protect feet on platforms and when riding ATVs; flip-flops are not allowed.
Bring proof of ID for ATV drivers
Drivers must meet the age requirement (typically 15+) and be alert and sober; bring ID if requested.
Expect muddy trails in wet months
If you choose the ATV option during monsoon season, plan for wet, slippery conditions and possible itinerary changes.
