Quadricycle tour in Canela: 15km off-road ride with guide

Ride 15km through three hilltop viewpoints on a quad bike built for one

A 90-minute quad bike tour in Canela for one rider, led by a trained guide through 15km of off-road trails in the Serra Gaúcha. The route passes three natural landmarks (Morro Pelado, Morro Dedão and Morro Queimado) with stops to view the landscape and take photos. Helmet, goggles and a disposable raincoat if needed are provided. You must contact the operator via WhatsApp to confirm your preferred time after booking, as departures run Tuesday to Sunday, 9am to 6pm.

The Experience

What makes this different from a standard sightseeing tour is that you're the one controlling the quad bike. After reading the liability terms and receiving instructions from your guide, you gear up with a helmet and protective goggles and ride the 15km route yourself. The guide stays with you throughout, trained to keep the pace safe and the experience focused on the terrain and the views rather than on rushing through stops.

The trail climbs through three named hilltops (Morro Pelado, Morro Dedão and Morro Queimado) each one a viewpoint where you stop to take in the landscape and photograph it. Between the main hills, smaller forest trails wind through the woods, breaking up the ride and adding variety to the 90 minutes. The route was designed by the operator, who has run quad tours for over 18 years and is the only company in the region with a protected area and medical team on site.

You'll need to arrange your departure time after you book. Contact the operator via WhatsApp at (54) 98137-4994 to confirm availability. They operate Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 6pm, and specific start times depend on their schedule. Bring a valid ID and wear closed-toe shoes. The quad accommodates one rider at a time, and the operator provides all safety gear.

Is this one for you?Solo riders get their own quad bike and full control of the route, making this suited to anyone who wants to ride rather than be driven. The 90-minute loop keeps the pace manageable for a first-time rider while still covering enough ground to reach three separate viewpoints.
