One-Day Itinerary: Jet Ski + ATV to Big Buddha (Phuket)

Q: Is temple dress code required at Big Buddha?

Yes. Shoulders and knees should be covered for both men and women when visiting Big Buddha. Sarongs are usually available on-site, but bringing a light cover-up or scarf is recommended so you are prepared.

Q: Do beginners join the Jet Ski route?

Yes, beginners are welcome on the Jet Ski route. All guests receive a safety briefing first, groups are kept small, and the guide sets a relaxed pace with planned photo and snorkel stops. This makes the day suitable for first-timers and families.

Q: What if weather changes midday?

If the weather changes during the day, the route can be adjusted, paused in sheltered water, or rescheduled with safety as the top priority. Wind and sea conditions are monitored, and guests are informed of any changes according to the rainy-season safety and rescheduling policy.

All-inclusive package — hotel transfers & lunch included. No hidden costs.
