The quad bike is part of the ATV (All Terrain Vehicles) category and is perfect for riding dirt roads through countryside, mountainous areas and terrain of all kinds. It enables stable and safe driving and can be used by anyone with a B license.
Outdoor centers organize tours with different levels of trails so that everyone can have a fun and exciting experience. Before setting off, a briefing and test drive is always given to get familiar with the vehicle.
Quad bike tours can be done year-round. You must wear sneakers and comfortable clothing you’re okay with getting dirty. Taking place mostly off-road, in fact, it is impossible to finish the hike without a few mud splashes on you!

A wonderful experience – definitely one to repeat
A wonderful experience, with extremely friendly instructors who were more than happy to answer any questions and provide further details about the area. What’s more, there was no one else there at the time I’d booked, which meant I could enjoy the experience to the full, at my own pace and in complete relaxation. We made our way along rocky paths, through a rushing river and across small streams before arriving at a rather picturesque (and somewhat hidden) spot with several waterfalls and crystal-clear water. I’d recommend wearing non-slip beach shoes if you’re not particularly sure-footed.

Amazing!
Big 5 stars! Everyone was very friendly. There was a restroom to use (and for fresh up after) and a machine to get drinks.nGot a private quad tour, it was absolutely perfect. Enjoyed it so much, I wish it lasted longer (my own fault only booking an hour). Will absolutely come back!

A fun activity to do as a couple
A fun experience riding a quad bike. A varied route with sections where you cross water and others on rough terrain. The icing on the cake is the stop at the gorges, where you can cool off and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
