    It was an awesome experience for a leisurely and not-so-adventurous ATV experience. Suitable for families with elderly and young kids. The staff are friendly ..they even offered to record the videos .. snap photos .. recommended to tick as your bucket list in Phuket.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had an awesome experience and that the ATV ride was suitable for a relaxed, family friendly adventure. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again in Phuket in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    Muddy Fun!

    The guides were so friendly and helpful…you can film or use your phones while riding but our guide took my phone and videoed us all riding thru the jungle for a good 10min while he drove in front of us (that’s skill!! The track was super muddy so one tip would be to plan ahead and don’t wear anything you don’t want to clean or potentially have stained. Also, if you’re visiting Big Buddha, make sure ladies have knees and shoulders covered. They do sell sarongs up there if you need them but to save money, plan ahead!

    Awesome experience, super fun!

    This was an awesome experience. Amazing viewpoints from the Big Buddha, and I absolutely loved the ATV ride - it was super fun and the guide was great! For me, the downside of this experience is that we rode past elephants in small enclosures, and elephants being ridden by people who were using hurtful tools to control their movements. This made me really uncomfortable and took some enjoyment out of my experience. In future, I would research/ask about this beforehand, as I would like to avoid this if possible.

    1 hour ATV with Big Buddha trip

    I booked through tripadvisor the night before at 8pm for next day ride at 9am and confirmation was fast We were picked up by the tour agency from the hotel with a lorry, like tuk tuk at 8.50am. The journey from Patong to the venue is around 30 mins. The driver was driving fast along the curly road and suggest to wear a mask as pollution along the journey. There were 2 guides for the ATV ride which they were very helpful though very rushing, I guess one should book 1.5 hours. I notice 2 guide accompany 3-4 vehicle. The terrain looks dangerous as it's very bumpy with up and down slope narrowly. I would suggest the tour not suitable for young teens and below. Suggest to put on a mask as ATV ride is closed to one another inhaling the gas from the front. The Big Buddha has nice view and luckily the stairs are not too long. Need not wear cover shoes if it's raining the day before as my kids shoes are splashed with mud.

    1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.

    How much does 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.

    Is 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Phuket?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Phuket?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Phuket?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 1 Hour Phuket ATV on Tour + Big Buddha?
