Overview

Travelers to Crete tend to stick to the well-worn paths between major towns and attractions, like Knossos and Rethymnon. This tour, operated using a four-wheeled all-terrain-vehicle, unlocks the Cretan backroads and off-road trails. See parts of Crete that most visitors to the island miss, steal a glimpse into local life away from the main tourist routes and learn how the storied past of the Melidoni Cave stretches back through time.

Avoid the constraints of a slow tour bus or hailing taxis: this tour is fast-paced and action-packed
Start your day with this off-road experience, or close out your day with an afternoon and evening ride
It's hard to get lost: just follow your guide and fellow group members, all on distinctive ATVs
Helmets provided so you can ride safely and with confidence

We had an awesome time on this tour! The quads were easy to use and in great shape. We saw some amazing views, the Melidoni cave, and toured the olive farm. Worth every penny. Our guide was so friendly and accommodating. You would be a fool to miss out on this tour? 10/10

Lovely people, clear instructions and a fun morning out. We all liked it a lot. Some of us hadn't been on quads before but the trip was tailored so it was doable but not too scary. Doing 40kph on roads and then over some dirt tracks across the countryside for some variety.

Terrible

Courtney_R, Jul 2022

Tour location is not the same as advertised in the app. I had to call the tour operator to receive correct location. Tour did not start as advertised time. Tour operator was rude after I expressed my concerns. I do not recommend this tour. There are plenty of other great quading experiences in the area.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hello You are the first customer since we started that decided to leave while waiting with the rest of the group to prepare for the departure.We start at 09:30 but we say 09:00 to give people more time to locate the starting point. You also received a location map with pin on the meeting point and all the instructions one day before. Our quad safari is excellent you should spend some time to read the reviews. Best regards Nostos Safari.

Beautiful way to discover crete

Julian_R, Oct 2021

The route of the tour was perfect - different kinds of streets with different difficulties and 2 very well picked stops during the tour.

Thrilling experience

Ziad_A, Aug 2021

This was a great experience, thoroughly enjoyable. We did the afternoon tour to avoid the heat. Only deducting one start because we did not visit the pottery workshop in Tsika Lario which was advertised as included in the tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Hello and thank you so much for your nice words. We did not stop to tsikalario because we did the route 1 that includes the stop to Melidoni cave.The stop to tsikalario is included in route 2. We will make it more clear to the description of the tour thanks to your review. Thank you once again Michalis Nostos safari.

Perfect tour

Thim_H, Jul 2021

Nice tour with a nice combination between off road and on the road. Nice stop by a cave where can also have a drink. Perfect time of around 3 hours ( depends on the speed) Some trips are a whole day but in my opinion this is way too long. Friendly guide and good quads. Recommended!

Excellent experience

Mike, Aug 2020

This was an excellent and enjoyable experience. The gentleman was polite, friendly and professional. The quad was in excellent condition and I was shown clearly how to operate it although I had never driven one before. Overall we really enjoyed it.

perfect und funny experience with friends

linderholti2, Aug 2019

I made this tour with a friend and we enjoyed it a lot. It was a perfect mixture of fun, getting a knowledge of the landscape and driving-experience with the quads. We visited also a cave and had time to stay there for a drink. Next time when I will be on Kreta I will do this tour again.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

It is really our pleasure!!! Thank you for your feedback... Thank you for your kindness...

Adventure and a lot of fun

Merci beaucoup!

Coole Tour - aber ausbaufähig ...

Daniel_G, Apr 2023

Also generell hat es Spaß gemacht und es lief auch alles glatt. ABER: der Link den man bekommt vom Treffpunkt ist NICHT der Treffpunkt sondern war 1,3 km davon entfernt. Es hieß 9:00 Uhr geht es los - also waren wir 10 vor 9 da und saßen dann 40 min. rum weil eine andere Trupp 9:30 Uhr gebucht hatte und wir auf die warten musste. Nicht cool. Die Fahrt war klasse und der Guide ist erst langsam und später etwas flotter gefahren. Der Besuch im der Höhle war okay und man hat viel vom Hinterland gesehen. Das war toll. Der guide hätte mal kurz stehen bleiben können damit man sich eine Jacke anziehen kann, da es kühler als erwartet war, aber dazu hatte man erst 90 min. nach Start Gelegenheit. Trotzdem war es eine schöne Aktivität um diesen Tag zu füllen.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you very much for your nice words.We have the time 09:00 listed because we want our customers to have more time to find our location and park because usually like come from far away. We checked the pin again and it's on the right location. Thank you once again for choosing our activity. Best regards Michalis Nostos Safari

Gepflegte Fahrzeuge, schöne Strecken. Für eine Fahrt für „Fortgeschrittene“ wenig herausfordernd. Keine Möglichkeit von individuellem Fahren. Kompetenter Giude, leider mit Werbeveranstaltung 😢
