ATV Riding Phuket: 200cc Quad Bikes on HilltopsATV riding in Phuket puts you on a 200cc quad bike at the camp on the island's highest point, where you ride through jungle dirt roads and over hilltops after basic instruction from a guide.

Sessions run 30 minutes to two hours, with options to add a Big Buddha visit.Is it for me?Choose this if you want to ride the ATV yourself rather than sit as a passenger, and pick the longer option if you need time to explore the hilltop terrain beyond the initial dirt roads.
