The Experience

You get picked up from your hotel in Phuket and driven to the ATV camp, where a guide walks you through the safety information before you swing onto the bike. The riding itself is the day -- you control the throttle and the line through Phuket's landscape for your chosen duration, with the guide leading and a tour leader on hand. A refreshing drink and cold towel wait at the camp when you finish, then it's back to your hotel. The whole thing runs between 2 and 4 hours depending on which package you pick.

Three departure times work around your schedule: 9am, noon, or 2pm. The transfer back and forth is included if you're staying in Kata, Karon, Tri Trang, Patong, Kamala or Phuket Town; if you're further out in Nai Yang, Nai Thon, Mai Khao or Ao Por, there's a transfer charge you can add at checkout. The guide speaks English or Chinese, so you get the safety rundown and any questions answered in your language. Helmets and the full ATV bike are yours for the ride, and insurance is built in.

The Big Buddha stop comes after the riding, so you're not splitting your energy between two things at once. It's suitable for all fitness levels, and if you're traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available -- just mention it when you book.

When can I do this if I have a free afternoon?
