Exciting

We went on the 1st of June . Me and my family, we were impressed by the professionalism and customer service. We had an amazing experience , driving quads on a rocky terrain with quite some speed. Quads are extremely easy to use in my opinion , with automatic transmission there is little to do apart from speeding up and slowing down where required. Your guide will take photos for you .

Fabulous experience and amazing scenery

Our quad experience was fantastic. We got picked up from our Riad and it was just the 2 of us. We were driven to the desert and had a private 2 hour tour, it was amazing. We stopped for tea and had a backdrop of the Atlas mountains. Our guide took us through villages, desert tracks and parts of the area we would never see by car. The quad is easy to drive and it was one of the best trips we did during our stay. Thank you all.

Fab ride through the mountains!

This was one amazing ride!! We got picked up from the hotel and driven an hour away to meeting point, where we were instructed on how to use the bikes and then off we went. We had 2 bikes for 2 adults and our son who is 8 was sitting behind us. Through the desert, small villages and even a bit of the highway! The stop was amazing views where we had some tea and drove off again. Definitely a highlight of our tour and highly recommend!!

Great desert trip, but no mountains.

We have done quad biking in other countries but this was the best. It's arid, bumpy and hilly, which, presents more of a challenge with the bikes which makes it more fun, we didnt see much mountains it was more of a desert trip. Pick up and drop off was perfect, organised really well. Great way to see the desert but no mountains, not like the advert picture, but still a great couple of hrs out the hotel. Highly recommend.

Do it, it’s excellent!

We hadn’t ridden a quad before and were both a little nervous, but it was super easy and the awesome guide helped us when we, well I, got a little stuck on a hill. No drama though. It’s absolutely beautiful and a really great way to see the desert in the morning- I highly highly recommend doing it! We wanted to do it again straight away. Thank you so much!
