ATV Riding in Khao Sok: 1.5 Hours Through Jungle Trails

Ninety minutes of dirt trail, limestone cliffs and river views on your own ATV.

ATV riding in Khao Sok National Park near Surat Thani, Thailand: you operate the vehicle for 1.5 hours through jungle trails, rubber plantations and scenic viewpoints framed by limestone cliffs. Hotel pickup within 10 km of the camp is included, along with a professional guide, water, seasonal fruit and a mid-ride break. You can ride solo or bring a passenger. Children ages 4–15 may ride as passengers only under adult supervision, and drivers must be at least 16 with good physical and mental fitness.

The experience

You pick up the ATV at the base after hotel transfer, get a safety briefing from the guide, and then spend 1.5 hours navigating winding dirt trails that cut through dense jungle and rubber plantations. The route reveals hidden viewpoints where towering limestone cliffs frame the landscape, with serene rivers visible below. Every turn brings a new stretch of terrain: some tight and technical, others opening onto wider vistas where you can pause and take in the surroundings.

The ride includes a mid-point break where you recharge with water and seasonal fruit in the shade before heading back out. A professional guide leads the way and stays with you throughout, enforcing safety rules and pointing out the landscape as you go. Whether you're riding solo or with a passenger sitting behind you, the pace stays steady enough to soak in the natural detail without rushing through it.

Hotel transfers work within a 10 km radius of the camp, so confirm your accommodation falls inside that zone when you book. The operator provides a raincoat, insurance and all the gear you need to ride. You just need to be at least 16 years old, in good physical condition, and hold a valid driver's license. If weather forces a cancellation, the operator reschedules you for another date, offers an alternative activity, or refunds in full.
