Koh Samui: 2-3 Hour ATV Adventure by Xplore ATV


About This Experience
Xplore ATV holds the highest rating of any Koh Samui ATV tour with more than a hundred reviews behind it: 5.0 from 131 riders. That is an unusual number, and it is worth understanding what produces it. The operation is small, the briefing is unhurried, and guests are given a few minutes to get comfortable on the machine before anyone starts an engine.
The route begins at a base camp up in the hills rather than at the coast, so you are on dirt within minutes. Winding tracks run through coconut plantations and up gentle mountain slopes with ocean views appearing through the palm canopy, then get more demanding as you head into the island's interior — small stream crossings, rocky climbs, and the deep green that gives Samui's inland its character.
About halfway through there is a stop with a cafe, a zipline and a waterfall, where you can photograph, cool your feet or simply sit still for ten minutes. The return descends through forest paths past local villages. Note the price is quoted per group for a single rider, which matters when you compare it with the per-person listings around it.

Good to Know & Caveats

What Travelers Say
Rated 5.0/5 by 131 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
A full-throttle tour through the jungle. It was super, super cool.

It was absolutely incredible! We loved every minute, and 2 hours was the perfect length with a nice break in the middle of the tour. We are so pleased with both our tour guide and Xplore ATV

Our guide was a real treasure. We were lucky to have our own guide as a family, who adapted to our child's pace. At first, our son was still a bit hesitant, but he became more confident over time. Then the guide adjusted the routes, and so the whole thing became an extremely wild, awesome ride for everyone. Definitely recommended! The zip line was also awesome!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 5.0 rating on 131 reviews believable?
It is the real figure on GetYourGuide at the time of writing, and it is the highest on the island among tours with meaningful volume. Small operations with unhurried briefings tend to score this way — there are fewer riders per guide and fewer ways for a day to go wrong. It is still one operator's rating rather than a guarantee about your particular morning.
Is hotel pickup included?
It is optional rather than included. You can add a transfer from the main areas of Koh Samui when you book, or make your own way up to the base camp in the hills.
How old do you have to be to drive?
Twelve to drive, eight to ride as a passenger. That is one of the lower driver minimums on the island — several Koh Samui operators set 16 or 18.
What is at the halfway stop?
A cafe, a zipline and a waterfall. You can photograph, dip your feet, add the zipline, or just sit down for ten minutes before the return leg.
Why is the price shown per group?
GetYourGuide lists this activity as priced per group for up to one person, which is effectively a single rider's price. It is worth reading the price basis on every Koh Samui ATV listing before comparing — some are per person, some cover two people on one machine.
