A 1-hour ATV riding experience in Bansko where you drive your own 450cc quad on a mountain track following an instructor. The activity includes a 15-minute transfer from the rental shop to the starting point, short safety training, helmet, gloves and goggles.

The experience

You start at the rental shop in Bansko, then get driven 15 minutes to the trailhead where your instructor waits. Before the ride begins, you get a short training session on the terrain and full safety instructions, plus the helmet, gloves and goggles you'll wear. The instructor stays with your group the whole time, watching for safety as you drive the ATV on a marked track through the mountains.

The ride itself lasts an hour. You're operating the quad the entire time, not sitting behind someone else: the instructor leads from their own ATV and sets the pace. After the hour ends, you get driven back to the shop where you started. Groups stay small, and the instructor speaks English.

What’s included

• Helmet, gloves and goggles.
• safety training on the terrain.
• 1-hour guided ride on a mountain track with an English-speaking instructor.
• 15-minute transfer from the rental shop to the starting point and back.
