The ATV AKA Quad Runner, or Quad Bike the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) is a 4 wheeled “bike” built for off road. The tires have low pressure, making them ideal for traversing various types of terrain, from rocks, to sand pits, to mud and clay. The seat of the ATV is like one on a motorbike, and the handlebars are also very similar. There are both hand and foot brakes and one hande will make the ATV accelerate. Ours all have automatic transmissions, making them a cinch to drive even with no prior experience.
Your clothes will get dirty, keep this in mind! You need to have on sturdy shoes with a closed toe. No flip-flops, thongs, sandals, etc.! We are in the tropics, don’t forget the sunblock. After the tour, your clothes will be dirty, and may be wet. If you want to change after, bring new clothes and you can store in the locker room, and change there, yes there are showers too! If you don’t have the right gear, or forget, there are options to purchase in our store, we have you covered!
We will give you an MX riding shirt to wear, a helmet, pairs of both gloves and goggles, and a dust mask.
Technically to drive legally on the roads you would, but we are off-road, so you do not need a license to drive an ATV on the tour.
Although a license is not required to drive, we do require all drivers be at least 15 years of age, and passengers must be a minimum of five years young.
Everyone will have their photo taken with an option to buy, and there are also Gopro Cameras available for 1000 THB ea and includes an SD memory card with footage.
Yes! Hotel Transfer Service is included from Pattaya and Jomtien. In fact the tour is all inclusive. The idea is to pay one thing, and get it all!
We are happy to coordinate transport from Bangkok. The Van is only 2500 THB and holds up to 12 passengers. The drive takes about an hour and forty five minutes each direction, depending on traffic.
No, we have found that the optimum time is about 2 hours. We’ve been operating tours locally since 2006 and feel 2 hours is the sweet spot.
Congratulations! You just got an added bonus for no extra fee. Your tour has been upgraded to a mud fest, and you now have a very good chance of seeing a waterfall.
This is Thailand. We have year round great weather. The ride is spectacular all year, however it will be different. During the dry season you won’t get to navigate any water obstacles, no sliding in the mud etc. It will be dry and dusty. You will be able to climb higher in the mountains though, and the views are unrivalled during the dry season because of this. During the rainy season there are more obstacles, more challenges and less sliding. Some of the trails disappear into boggy marshes and there is a 40 foot waterfall that comes out with enough rain.

The FUN Tour does not require any prior riding or knowledge of ATVs or buggies. These machines are incredibly simple and you will be able to master them within 10 minutes on our practice track for the FUN Tour. For the Extreme Tour you will need to have at least some prior knowledge and experience.
It depends on the tour. See the tour pages you are interested in and all pricing is clearly marked.
Yes, from 2006 - 2017. Then in 2017 we streamlined our tour, and our brand.
Base Camp is open daily from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm, but tour times are set in stone. Please do not just show up and expect to ride. The shop is open, and we can muster up a burger, but bookings are essential to go on the tour. Same day bookings are possible. Please call first.
Although rare, accidents can and do occur. Mostly when instructions are ignored. Please listen to the guides! You will have a full safety briefing and time on the practice track. If you do happen to damage a part of your ATV while on the ride you will be 100% responsible for the part that needs replacing. ATV’s are imported from the USA and are Polaris brand. Parts will be paid at the listed price on the official Polaris website. If there is a mechanical failure or something outside of your control there will be no charge. Also if a breakdown occurs you will be given the support guides ATV and the tour will go on.
Very few people damage the ATVs. When they are damaged they are expensive to replace. We can’t triple the tour price to cover a few people that ignore us. No One would book tours, and we would have no more adventures in the jungle. Also, if we included the damage, that would encourage too many people to drive it like they stole it, and we just can’t be having that. Nope! You break it, you buy it! Period.
We’re about 20 minutes outside of Pattaya on the east side. Our Google Map link is below.
