Phuket: Axe Throwing with Optional Knife, Shuriken & Archery

Imagine unleashing your inner warrior in the heart of Patong, without leaving town or worrying about the weather. For just $15 per person, you can spend up to 90 minutes trying your hand at axe throwing, knife throwing, shuriken (ninja stars), and archery at Axciting Phuket. This indoor experience offers a lively atmosphere, guided coaching, and plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself or your friends. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned thrower, you’ll find something to enjoy here.

Two features particularly stand out: the professional instruction that makes beginners feel confident and the indoor setup, which keeps the experience accessible regardless of rain or shine. We also appreciate the variety of activities — because who wouldn’t want to try shuriken or archery alongside axes? The main downside? It’s a short session if you opt for just 20 minutes, but the 90-minute package offers a comprehensive, skill-building experience.

This tour suits adventurous travelers, groups of friends, or families with older children (8+) who want a fun, active break from typical sightseeing. If you’re looking for something different, a little adrenaline rush, and helpful guidance, this is a solid choice.

A Closer Look at the Experience

What to Expect at Axciting Phuket

When you arrive at Axciting Phuket, you’ll find a lively, indoor space designed for fun and safety. The staff, including instructors like Liam (if mentioned), greet you warmly and quickly get you set up with safety gear and a brief explanation of the rules. This safety briefing is thorough yet straightforward, making it clear that safety comes first — no alcohol is allowed, and closed-toe shoes are a must.

Once prepared, you’ll learn how to grip, aim, and throw axes at wooden targets. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, often offering tips that help even complete novices hit the bullseye. As one reviewer noted, “Our instructor was super helpful in explaining the basics and kept us laughing throughout.” That combination of professionalism and good humor makes the experience accessible and enjoyable.

Activities and Options

You have two main options to choose from. The 20-minute package is perfect if you’re just curious or short on time. It’s a focused session where you primarily master axe throwing, with plenty of time to practice your throws and perhaps win a friendly contest.

The 90-minute option unlocks a full spectrum of activities: axe throwing, knife throwing, shuriken (ninja stars), and archery. This longer format allows you to try each activity, get personalized coaching, and participate in various challenges. We loved that this setup offers unlimited throws, so you can really work on your technique and see improvement, which is satisfying and motivating.

The Atmosphere and Environment

The indoor venue is lively, with music, cheers, and friendly competition. You’ll be encouraged to play games and challenge friends, making it a social highlight of your trip. The environment is designed to be inclusive, welcoming beginners and experienced throwers alike.

The Practical Side

The location is convenient in Patong, with operating hours from 2 PM to midnight daily, allowing flexibility in planning your day. Arrive 15 minutes early to check in, sign a waiver, and get your safety gear. The cost of $15 is incredibly reasonable, especially considering the all equipment and coaching included, and the fact that you can throw as much as you want during your session.

While there’s no included food or drinks, on-site snacks and beverages are available, and the activity is indoors, so it’s perfect even if the weather isn’t cooperating. Spectators are welcome but are asked to stay outside the throwing lanes for safety.

Many reviewers emphasize the friendly and professional guides. One noted, “The staff was very attentive and made sure we understood what to do, which made me feel safe and confident.” Others appreciated the variety of activities, with one stating, “Trying shuriken and archery added a fun twist — it’s not just about axes.”

A common theme is how accessible the experience is for beginners, with many saying they left feeling more confident and eager to try again. The cost-benefit ratio is also praised, as the price is low relative to the variety of activities and quality coaching.
