The experience

The quad bikes are designed to be simple to operate. You need only a valid car driving license, no off-road experience required. A local guide fluent in English rides with the group at all times, leading you along trails that wind through villages and open onto the coastal scenery between Alvor and Portimão. The machines handle the terrain easily, so the focus stays on the views rather than on managing difficult terrain.

You'll stop at the main beaches and clifftop spots that frame this stretch of the Algarve, with time to take photos at each one. The two-hour ride covers the best viewpoints in the area without rushing, and the small-group format keeps things intimate. Helmets and a bottle of water per person are included. Wear outdoor shoes and clothes suited to the weather.
