What you'll see

This ATV tour of Koh Samui runs twice daily, in the morning and afternoon. When booking, select either a 1- or 2-hour tour for either departure time, including round-trip hotel transfers to the northern part of the island where the ATVs are located. Transport takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your location.

On arrival, you will receive instruction on how to steer the all-terrain quad bike, as your safety is a top priority. Low-pressure tires help with handling a wider variety of terrain than most other vehicles. Do a few test rounds to get accustomed to riding before you set off.

The 1-hour tour follows a trail through the lush jungle, winds straight across a river, and continues past scenic coconut groves. The 2-hour tour takes you even further into the jungle to visit a secret waterfall hidden deep within the forest. Expect to get wet, especially on a rainy day.
