Samui X Quad Premium ATV Tour (1 Driver) with lunch


About This Experience
X Quad are the premium end of Koh Samui's ATV market, and the machine is the reason. Where most of the island runs small utility quads, X Quad put you on a Yamaha 450cc automatic — a genuinely powerful ATV that behaves differently on a hill climb, and the single clearest difference between this tour and a $55 jungle ride.
This is the solo-driver version: one rider, one machine, four hours from the Maenam area with round-trip transfers included. You follow a guide along remote dirt tracks well away from the parts of Samui that appear on a postcard, with long views for most of the day.
Everything is in the price — lunch at The 360 Jungle Route restaurant, water, soft drinks, beer and fruit at the end. X Quad have run this since 2012 and it shows in the small things: the fleet is maintained, the group is not enormous, and the day is built around the ride rather than around getting you back for the next departure.

Rated 5.0/5 by 44 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
Fantastic activity! Excellent and fantastic guide! Exceptional views, we had a wonderful time!

This was possibly the most fun thing I've done on Samui. I absolutely loved this tour! The guides were great, the 4 wheelers ran fine. It was just challenging enough to keep it fun but still felt safe. Incredibly stunning views from the tops of the mountains. Gorgeous lush jungle vegetation. The lunch was delicious and also had a gorgeous view. As a 55 year old female solo traveler, I had an absolute blast and felt very comfortable. Will definitely do this again!

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the X Quad machine different?
It is a Yamaha 450cc automatic rather than a small utility quad. On a flat trail the difference is modest; on a steep muddy climb it is the whole experience. If you have ridden quads before and found the standard island machines underpowered, this is the listing to look at.
What does the price include?
Round-trip hotel transfers, the ATV, the guided route, a Thai set lunch at The 360 Jungle Route restaurant, and water, soft drinks, beer and fruit at the end. It is priced as a half-day out rather than as a ride.
How does this compare with the driver-plus-passenger version?
Same machine, same route, same lunch — but the passenger version is priced per group for two people sharing one quad, so a couple pays once rather than twice. If you both want to drive, book two solo spots; if one of you would rather ride along, the shared listing is much better value.
Do I need experience?
X Quad describe the tour as suitable for all levels of experience. The machine is automatic and the guide sets the pace, but a 450cc quad has more power under the throttle than a beginner might expect — take the first ten minutes slowly.
Where does the tour start?
It runs from the Maenam area on the north coast, with round-trip transfers from your hotel included wherever you are staying.
