Ride an automatic quad through the jungle hills above Maenam with X-Quad Samui, a small-group ATV park on the north side of Koh Samui. You get a helmet, a briefing and practice laps at the base, then a guide leads the group out on the trail. No driving licence is needed, because the whole route runs on private trails. Choose your trip length when you book. The 2 hour tour is the easy start: jungle tracks, a waterfall stop and soft drinks, running twice a day in the morning and afternoon.
Pickup from your hotel or villa
We'll meet you at your hotel, villa or pickup point. The 2 hour Waterfall Tour runs twice a day, with pickup around 09:30 for the morning session or around 14:00 for the afternoon session. Prefer to come by yourself? You can also meet us at the X-Quad base on Maenam Soi 4.
We arrive at the X-Quad base camp above Maenam. Fit your helmet and get comfortable on your automatic quad. After a quick intro and the safety briefing by our guides, we ride out.
We set off on wide and easy tracks through the jungle, with plenty of viewpoints along the way. Our multilingual guides ride with you and help out whenever you need it, so beginners are in good hands.
We ride deeper into the jungle to reach a hidden waterfall. Time to relax, cool off and take a swim in the fresh jungle water. Bring your swimwear and a towel if you plan to take a dip.
This is where the 2 hour Waterfall Tour turns back. We ride to the base camp for a soft drink, and our driver takes you back to your hotel. The 4 hour Mountain Tour continues uphill from here.
Prefer to make your own way there? You can skip the pickup and meet us directly at the start point.
X-Quad Samui, Maenam Soi 4
Maenam
Ride to X-Quad Samui's base on Maenam Soi 4. Look for the X-Quad sign at the entrance and check in at the reception hut before your tour time.
A relaxed, guided ride rather than a race. Our guides lead the group at an easy pace on wide jungle tracks, so first-timers and nervous riders are comfortable. The quads are automatic with no gears, and no driving licence is needed. Expect dust in the dry season and mud after rain, a cool-off swim at a hidden waterfall, and on the 4 hour tour the highest viewpoints on the island plus a Thai buffet lunch.
No. The quads are automatic and the whole route runs on private trails, so no licence is needed. Drivers must be at least 11 years old and get a short briefing and practice laps at the base before the group heads out.
The 2 hour Waterfall Tour is the easy start on wide jungle tracks with a waterfall stop and soft drinks, running twice a day with pickup around 09:30 or 14:00. The 4 hour Mountain Tour leaves around 09:00 and returns about 15:00, climbing to the highest point of the island for panoramic views over Lamai Bay and the Big Buddha, a swim at a hidden waterfall, and a Thai buffet lunch at the jungle restaurant.
Yes. Children from 11 years can drive their own quad after the ability check. Younger children ride as a passenger behind an adult on a double quad, with a small supplement of 200 THB on the 2 hour tour or 300 THB on the 4 hour tour.
A single quad is for one rider. A double is a larger 450cc or 520cc quad that carries a driver plus one passenger behind them, and the 520cc adds power steering. Prices are per machine, so a couple sharing a double pays the double price.
The tours run in most weather, and many riders say the muddy months are the most fun. If conditions become unsafe we will move your booking to another day or refund you.
Yes. Every booking comes with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour starts. To move to another date, just message us and we will reschedule you subject to availability.
We offer hotel and villa pickup across Koh Samui, included in the price. If you prefer, you can also make your own way to the X-Quad base on Maenam Soi 4 and meet us there.
For safety, the tour is not suitable for pregnant women, anyone with a serious back, neck or heart condition, or anyone who has been drinking alcohol. Riders must be at least 11 and there is a weight limit per quad. If any of this applies to your group, message us before you book and we will help.
Yes. Each ATV has a combined weight limit of 140 kg and carries a maximum of two people, so the driver and passenger together should weigh no more than 140 kg. If your pair is close to that limit it is better to take a quad each. If you are not sure, message us before you book and we will help.
Wow wow wow we loved this. They made my first time worth every cent. What an amazing life changing experience. Riding through the jungle was sick. We did the Xquad 2 seaters and it was so much fun. Felt like a roller coaster, exhilarating and you still fill safe with the roll cages. The guides stop and a few amazing viewpoints. Klar was our guide and he was a real cool dude, knew all the trails amazing and even got video footage for us! The lunch was also great authentic food. 10/10
My family and I booked a 4-hour ATV and buggy tour, and it turned out to be a truly unforgettable experience. The tour was organized at the highest level — everything was perfectly planned from start to finish. The route was very diverse and rich in impressions: • a stunning viewpoint overlooking the northeast coast of Samui, • a high-altitude viewpoint with panoramic views of the east coast, • a stop at a beautiful and cozy bar for refreshing drinks, • lunch at the top of one of the mountains with breathtaking views, • and, of course, a visit to one of the most beautiful places on the island — Tan Rua Waterfall. The emotions and sensations from the tour are simply indescribable. It is a perfect combination of adrenaline, nature, and comfort. I would also like to especially highlight the excellent safety standards — the briefing, equipment, and professional guidance were outstanding, which is extremely important when traveling with family. Many thanks to the X-Quad Samui team for their professionalism, attention to detail, and for providing such an amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Samui from a new perspective and enjoy truly unforgettable moments.
We booked the 4 hour tour and had the most amazing time from the pick-up to the last moment. The guides and whole team is amazing and has the best kind of humor and they are really good at explaining nature. Our guides showed us snakes and spiders and it was so much fun to learn more about Samui. Hands down the best experience ever!!! We even stopped at a temple and a super cute restaurant spot, lunch was fantastic! Would do it again tomorrow; worth every penny!
This was by far the best experience we had on Koh Samui! Trip through the jungle to view points with lunch in a Xquad which was loads of fun. Instructors were very clear with the controls, knowledgable about the area and information and generally made the whole day fun and enjoyable! Chris was following at the back on a scrambler and Cala (i think that was his name) guided at the front on a quad to set the pace and make sure it’s safe for everyone! You will get dirty so dont wear nice clothes, lunch provided which was nice, waterfall dried up due to no rain but that cant be helped! 100% recommend this, well worth it!!
What a fantastic morning. From the time we got there till the very end, everything was amazing. Thanks to Chris and the up front guide (who's name i didn't get) for being just the best and making the day fun. Highly recommend this place for a great adventure
