About This Experience

Samui Quad Motor has been running quad tours on the island long enough to have collected more than 1,600 reviews on GetYourGuide, roughly three times the next-busiest ATV operator. That volume is why this tour is the default answer to “which ATV tour should I book on Koh Samui” — not because it is the most polished product on the island, but because more people have ridden it and reported back than any other.

You are collected from your hotel, briefed, and put on a Japanese-built automatic quad. The one-hour route climbs into the jungle behind the coast and stops at viewpoints looking down over the mountain and the sea. The two-hour route keeps going: dirt tracks under coconut groves and rubber plantations, river crossings, a mountain viewpoint with light refreshments, and — in the wet months — one of the island's smaller waterfalls.

Two things are worth knowing before you book. The operator states plainly that the waterfall stop is seasonal and runs roughly November to January, so a dry-season booking is a jungle-and-viewpoint ride rather than a waterfall ride. And their own listing says the activity is not suitable for absolute beginners: riders over 12 are tested on the machine before departure and only drive if they can control it. If you have never driven anything, an operator with a dedicated practice area is the better first ride.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.7/5 by 1,601 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

Great tour with fantastic guides. After a few kilometers, they even divided the group according to riding skills, so that we had "worked through" enough in a good hour. We had a lot of fun and got our money's worth. I can only recommend it.

The tour was just right at one hour. There were only 7 of us that morning, so we had a private tour. Two guides accompanied us and after a certain time split the group so that those who already had experience could do a more challenging tour. But even as a beginner, the route was challenging. I wanted to give up at first, but that was just the fear of not making it. I drove for the first time, and the guides were super nice and helped when you needed help. I recommend the tour. But I would choose the one-hour tour, especially for beginners.

The pick-up worked out great. They were more than on time! The ride was great. On the quad tour, they take great care of you. They are considerate. One teenager stopped, and that was OK too. They cater to everyone and help at all times and never leave you alone! But I have to emphasize here that, in my opinion, this route is not for beginners! I rode for the first time... and it was very difficult for me and also for my children (14 and 15). You ride steeply up and down hills over huge rocks and absolutely uneven paths! Nevertheless, it was a challenge and worth the experience! A video and photos were also taken.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Samui Quad Motor ATV tour?

You choose between a one-hour and a two-hour route when you book. The one-hour ride covers jungle trails and panoramic viewpoints; the two-hour route adds coconut and rubber plantations, river crossings, a mountain viewpoint with refreshments and, in the wet season, a waterfall stop. Hotel transfers sit on top of the riding time in both cases.

Will I actually see a waterfall on this tour?

Only in season. The operator states that the waterfall visit runs roughly November to January and is weather-dependent. If a waterfall is the reason you are booking, choose a tour that lists the waterfall as a guaranteed inclusion rather than a seasonal extra.

Is this tour suitable for beginners?

The operator's own listing says it is not. Riders over 12 are tested on the machine before departure and only allowed to drive if they can control it, and there is no dedicated practice area built into the itinerary. Nervous first-timers usually do better on a small-group tour that includes a training session before the trail.

Can children come along?

Yes, as passengers. Children under 12 ride free behind an adult driver. Above 12 they may be allowed to drive their own machine, subject to the pre-departure control test.

Is hotel pickup included?

Yes. Pickup and drop-off from anywhere on Koh Samui are included in the price, and you are given a pickup window when your booking is confirmed.

What should I wear?

Closed-toe shoes and clothes you do not mind getting filthy. Samui's jungle trails are dusty in the dry months and genuinely muddy in the wet ones, and a quad throws everything it rides over straight back at you.
