This was a birthday excursion for my bestie. This was her first time riding an ATV. The staff was friendly and our guide took pictures of us and made sure we had a good time. Unfortunately we did not so the Big Buddha due to construction however they gave another suggestion which was the swing. Sh had a wonderful time!

🚐 Pickup Service • There was a slight confusion. (Seemed confused due to pickup time and vehicle confirmation issues) • However, there were no major problems with the overall schedule, and the staff responded kindly upon arrival. ⸻ 🧑‍✈️ Guide • The guide from Myanmar was very kind and professional. • Gave a good explanation before the ride. • Good sense to take care of us at photo spots. • Comfortably helped those riding an ATV for the first time. • Basic English communication is possible. ⸻ 🛞 60-minute ATV Experience (Beginners can easily manage) • A truly highly recommended experience. • The course is more diverse and thrilling than expected. • Unpaved mountain course. • A panoramic view of Phuket from the viewpoint! • Exhilarating as you can ride roughly through dirt, dust, and puddles. • Equipment is in good condition; safety gear is essential.

loved this experience. we went with our 8 and 12 year olds. keep in mind this course will be difficult for children and beginner drivers. there’s some sharp turns and dips and deep mud puddles that made this very challenging for me. my 12 yo was glad she chose to be a passenger and not a driver. we did the one hour ATV and ended with the rope bridge and ziplone (twice). the portion about the rubber tree was very interesting and the guides were extremely friendly and helpful. it ended with fresh fruit and drinks. amazing memories and experience. highly recommend

A fantastic experience. Staff ensure you are adequately equiped and briefed. A quick quad bike tutorial followed by an assessment to make sure you can handle the bike then you are off on the trail. Started to rain once we set off which made the ride more exhilerating but no less of an experience. Staff really helpful and willing to make your experience as pleasurable as possible.

Everything was great. Except the constant climb uphill for activities. would have been convenient if they offered a buggy ride to the attraction entrance. the facilitators were experts and safety oriented. food was hot, fresh and tasty. variety of food and activities to spend half day at max. very efficient pick up and drop. highly recommended.

Oh my gosh what an incredible experience! I booked this excursion hesitantly, because I LOVE elephants, and don't want to partake in anything that has to do with abusing an animal. I was impressed with the introductory speech Nancy gave, giving us a background on the elephants history, where they're rescued from, appropriate activity and actions around the elephants while we're near them. It was saddening to hear the stories of some of the elephants and what they have been rescued from, but also so heartwarming to see them thriving in an environment where they're clearly loved and cared for. Feeding the elephants was so fun! Each elephant has their own personality, and you can see that through their behavior. I spent the washing time petting them instead, and don't regret any of it for a second. When we come back to Thailand to Chiang Mai, we'll visit their sister locations in the northern part of the location. Thank you Nancy, Eddy, and Mr M! We had a wonderful time!

The activity includes 5km of whitewater rafting. You can extend it to 7km for THB 500 or 9km for THB 1000. The more exciting rapids are really only found on the 7km to 9km options, so seriously consider the length you want to raft. Also, the ATV ride lasts about 30 minutes. If you wear long pants, they may get dirty, but there's water available to rinse them off afterwards.

This is one of the best activities I did in Phuket and worth every cent but I felt sorry for the guys walking with the horse at the beach while I’m on the horse😮‍💨. But he was very helpful in many ways, very kind too-I forgot his name. I did the 4pm slot though I wanted the sunset slot, it was fully booked. And apparently you can also request to ride a white horse-just state it on your booking details before hand.

Old Phuket Town

Old Phuket Town is the cultural heart of Phuket, filled with colorful Sino-Portuguese buildings, charming cafés, and art galleries. You can walk along Thalang Road to see beautiful architecture, browse local markets, and try authentic Thai food and street food.

Phang Nga Bay

A trip to Phuket isn’t complete without exploring Phang Nga Bay, one of the most natural attractions in southern Thailand. You can take a boat tour through emerald-green waters, visit caves, and see the famous James Bond Island. This area’s limestone cliffs and hidden lagoons make it perfect for kayaking and taking incredible photos.

Kata and Karon Beaches

Avoid unlicensed motorcycle taxis; use apps like Grab for safer travel around Phuket Island.

4. Protect Yourself from the Sun

Bring sunscreen and a hat, and stay hydrated, especially on Phuket’s west coast beaches.
