ATV-ing was a ton of fun! It's thrilling and so exciting! We got picked up from Patong and straight up to the facility. The place seemed like a family run business and the staff were super sweet. Our guide was great and he's an expert photographer too! would definitely recommend this!

Amazing experience. Pickup was slightly delayed. Tour guide was awesome. Pickup was slightly delayed - but guide was in touch. Karen view point and Chalong temple was really nice. Not so enjoyed the bee factory. And you will miss if you don't see the old town - though 1 hour is not enough.

I'm a beginner who can't even swim. The instructor, 'woody'? was very kind and taught me safely, so it was a really fun and wonderful experience.
