Do I need quad biking experience to join?

No. The tour is designed for all skill levels, including complete beginners. You'll receive a safety briefing and instructions before setting out.

What's included in the EUR 35 price?

The quad bike rental and guided 2-hour tour are included. Clarify with the operator whether safety gear, photos, refreshments, or transport are also covered.

How difficult is the terrain?

The route mixes forest trails, rocky sections, and stream crossings. It's challenging but manageable for anyone in reasonable fitness; not extreme technical riding.

Wear comfortable, quick-dry clothing, closed-toe shoes or boots, and long trousers to protect from scrapes. You'll get muddy and wet, so bring or wear clothes you don't mind soiling.

Is hotel pickup included?

This varies by operator. Confirm meeting location and any transport arrangements when you book.

What's the group size?

Groups are typically small to ensure personalised instruction and a safer, more enjoyable experience.

our guide Mehmet had so many stories and a massive herd of elephants crossing in front of us was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Spot on for a couples day out, and spotted maybe 30 species, and spotted maybe 30 species. Would book again no question, 10/10

our guide Carla had so many stories and a cheetah on the hunt was the highlight, and honestly better than the safari we did in Lisbon last year.

our guide Kemal had so many stories and a leopard up a tree near the river was the highlight, and blew our Phuket one out of the water.
