What an adventure! The ATV tour in Chania was such a blast—bumpy trails, gorgeous mountain views, and plenty of dust and laughs along the way. Our guide kept it fun and safe, while sharing local stories. Riding through the countryside with the sea in the distance was unforgettable. If you’re looking for something active, exciting, and a little different from the usual sightseeing, this is a must-do!

Anthony made our tour absolutely unforgettable! The whole experience was so much fun, from riding through incredible terrain to taking in the most breathtaking views. Everything was well-organized, and Anthony was beyond helpful and friendly the entire time, making sure we felt comfortable and had the best experience possible. Highly recommend…such an amazing adventure!

    Such a beautiful way to see the mountains!

    Hanna_H, Apr 2026
    This is so much fun! I booked this tour with a friend and we both had a blast. The quads are very easy to navigate, and the guide gives you options for insurance if you have a fear of crashing before hand. Luckily they are very easy to maneuver. This tour probably isn’t the best if you have a fear of heights, as you really go up the mountain with some very narrow roads. The guide was very friendly and ensured we knew what we were doing before we began. We would recommend doing this with friends, maybe not young children.

    Great tour

    Friendly guide, fun way to see the island. Our kids, 11 and 14, had a fun time too! Some off roading but nothing difficult, even for a beginner. Thanks so much!

    It was fantastic the tour...

    It was fantastic the tour guide was so nice He was patient and I don’t have any bad report on our experience

    Quad Safari- a must do!

    Violet_M, Jul 2025
    Excellent excursion! For cruise passengers, it is an excellent choice! Beach Bums will pick you up and drop you off at the port. Well worth the money! 3 hours of driving on different terrains with beautiful sights! I do not recommend this for novice drivers. It's a long excursion with 2 short breaks. Adrian was the best guide and very patient. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful Fun!

    Adrian was a great guide. We really were able to see the countryside of Crete from the mountains, the olive groves, the seaside, and small towns in between. The ATV ride itself was a bit challenging navigating some of the rocky dirt roads, but nothing the average person can’t handle. Also, we had just a gorgeous weather day which made the journey extremely enjoyable!

    Awesome!

    Our guide was awesome! The trails were really fun but not hard and we even learned some cool Greek history! Afternoon well spent

    Great Tour!

    Absolutely brilliant experience! With scenic routes and a fantastic guide, we enjoyed every second of the tour. 10/10 recommend to those wanting to explore in a fun and engaging way.

    Warning, don't trust

    We had confirmation for 7 single passengers. after pick up (pick up was difficult) and paper work and extra charges were paid for we were told we added an other person and there was not enough quads for our group. quads were in poor condition, mine broke down after difficulty going the spead limit. l felt we should have at least one person refunded.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    We are grateful for feedback to our company, as we take pride in who we are and what we do. We would like to make it clear that many of these disputes are false and made by a very challenging client who clearly finds pleasure in defacing companies. If you are one of these people we would rather you do not book an experience with us. Our staff are hard working and polite and do not deserve mistreatment from rude ungrateful individuals. From the start of this experience where she states that the pick up was difficult. The owner personally collected them from the port. He was the only van parked right in front of the exit of the boat. The collection was at 9:00am. The client was called at 9:01 and at 9:05 and did not answer her phone. If it is difficult to answer your phone that is out of our power to help. Client departed from the port at 9:06am, as someone in the group had used some common sense to walk to the only van waiting in front of the ferry. We would also like to clear that there was no extra charges. This comment was made for fee of the collection from the port which is located 40min drive away from our start location. This was confirmed by a Viator employee over the phone with the owner before the booking was made. It was also accepted by the client. On behalf of the ‘quad short’. We did have a quad that went to the mechanic the day before. Our guide happily offered his quad to one of the individuals in their group, who drove in the front and the guide directed him. He was happy to be the front quad and did not have a problem with that. Where she states a quad ‘broke down’ she means cut-out, which all machines do. A simple press of the button and the quad restarted. This lady further went on to judge the owner about his choice in clothing. After our guide trying his best all day to please her. While extra happily dropping half of their group in a separate city. He received hate comments only from this individual. She clearly has a lot of anger held in her due to something out of our control. The rest of the group complemented the guide for a good day. This individual decided after all the efforts that our team provided to give us a one star review. This is clearly an act of a troll and this comment should be removed. At the end of the day we wish her love.

    Just brilliant!

    We are a family of five, two adults and three teenagers. We absolutely loved the quad bike tour. Adrian our guide was brilliant and made it very special for all of us. The views are stunning and it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our holiday.
