The experience

You get picked up from your hotel and driven 25 minutes to the Palmeraie, where the guide walks you through the quad bike controls before you head out. The ride itself runs about an hour and a half to two hours through the palm groves. You're operating the machine, not watching from a seat, so the pace and line are yours to set within the guide's route. A few stops break up the ride for photos and to catch your breath.

Midway through, you pull into a traditional bivouac camp for a break and Moroccan mint tea. The camel ride happens near the end of the excursion, a slower counterpoint to the quad time. Safety gear and helmets are on you from start to finish. The whole outing runs three to four hours door-to-door, and you're back at your hotel by early afternoon.

The guide speaks your language (English, Spanish, Portuguese, French or one of several others), so instruction and route notes come through clearly. Children from age 5 can ride quads with an adult accompanying them. Younger kids can come along in a stroller if someone in your group wants to ride solo.

How long does the quad biking part actually take?

The quad ride through the Palmeraie runs about an hour and a half to two hours, with the guide setting the route and pace. You stop a few times for photos and to rest.

What happens if I've never ridden a quad before?

The guide explains how to operate the machine before you leave the camp, so no prior experience is needed. The route is designed for mixed skill levels, and the guide stays with you throughout.

Can my five-year-old ride a quad, or do they have to sit with me?

Children from age 5 can ride their own quad with an adult accompanying them on the route. Younger children can come along in a stroller or pram if an adult in your group wants to ride solo.

Is the camel ride a long one, or just a short experience?

The camel ride is a shorter experience that happens near the end of the excursion, after the quad biking and the tea break. It's a traditional ride in the camp area, not a long trek.

What's included in the price, and what do I need to bring?

Hotel pickup and drop-off, the guide, safety equipment, helmets, and Moroccan mint tea are all included. Bring sunscreen, water and comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dusty. The guide handles everything else.
