All-terrain​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ vehicle (ATV) rides in Kerala are predominantly brief and extremely exhilarating circuits established on the shore, where tourists are allowed to drive quad bikes on sand and tracks that have been prepared. Such rides are normally a part of an extensive adventure or watersports plan, so you can intersperse them with other activities like jet skiing, speed boats, and towable rides during the same visit.


Presently on the Kerala Tourism accredited list, ATV tours through a single operator based near Kovalam in the district of Thiruvananthapuram are the only ones available.


These kinds of rides are created as fast experiences, which makes them very handy if you intend to spend a half-day at the beach or go for a sunset visit.


Due to the fact that ATV tracks are usually on the environmentally fragile areas of the coast, the operators normally monitor the route very closely and speed is limited for safety reasons. Basic instructions are given to the riders; they are also provided with helmets and, in some instances, knee or elbow guards.
