Fun tour

The tour was a great way to see different parts of Algarve. The staff makes you feel like safety is a top priority. All vehicles seemed to be well maintained

This is was a well...

Off roading

Naomi_S, Sep 2024
Great experience for a bit of off road adventure. Good for those wanting something other than tourist sights and a bit more of unique experience

Disappointed

William_V, Jul 2024
Was hoping for a buggy tour that took it's time and took in the local history and sites. Instead the tour was focused on how fast you drive the route. At one point I was told if I didn't speed up we wouldn't finish the route. I explained I couldn't see the road from the amount of dust being kicked up from the buggies in frt of us. A dangerous situation given the roads we were on. The couple behind us claimed they nearly missed a turn due to the dust and almost went off the top of a hill. We did stop at a quint village halfway through although we had no time to explore it. I wouldn't recommend this excursion unless you just want to ride as fast as you can on dirt roads.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hello William, thank you for your review. I am sorry the tour didn't match your expectations, but i think it's unfair to say that we do reckless driving and go fast considering our speed in the trails is 25/30 km per hour on straight line and our vehicles are electronically limited on speed. I understand that for you might be too much and that's ok. We work with drivers of all ages, levels of experience and expectations and we do our best to please everyone which sometimes is impossible and that's also ok, we are at peace with that reality. Hope you enjoyed your time in Portugal! Best regards Paulo

Best buggy tour

Well, this was an excellent experience and Pedro was a fantastic guide. We were the only 2 people on this tour so it ended up being a private, customized tour for our preferences. We went to a small village, saw lots of animals, and went through rivers. It was wonderful.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you! :)

Fun for the entire family

tinacardoso, Jun 2024
Our family had a great day. We did the three-hour tour and it was a mix of traveling on paved roads and mountain trails. The highlight of the day was the river crossing, make sure you wear shoes that can get wet!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you very much Tina!!

What a great experience.

Jeremy_D, Jun 2024
Wow - what a superb experience this was. The tour took us up some serious inclines and down some huge down hill drops, through various river crossings… not to mention the different terrains- rocks, gravel, mud, roads and tracks. Really a bit of everything. Paulo started off with a very clear health & safety, and run through of the does & don’ts. Edwardo the tour guide certainly knew the bests places to go. Without doubt the hi light of our short trip away. Well worth taking the time out of a holiday, for an experience you won’t regret.

Thank you very much Jeremy!!

My husband and I did the 3 hour safari tour and had such a great time. Our guide gave us all the knowledge and equipment needed to feel safe and comfortable while driving the buggy. We would 100% do it again!

Amazing and challenging experience and the guide went above and beyond, they speak multi languages and made sure you were safe at all times. First time I ever drove one and it will not be the last. Would highly recomend this to anyone who travels to Algrave

Beautiful discovery for young and old

Clarisse_D, Aug 2025
Superb buggy ride with our two daughters 5 and 7 years old. The whole family loved it! Welcoming was very warm and the whole team very helpful and professional. They speak French, which is a real asset. A very nice way to discover the hinterland and walk many trails. I highly recommend!

Ongelooflijk en onvergetelijk avontuur

Michael_F, Sep 2024
Geweldig onthaal, prima uitleg ivm de regels en de buggy. Heerlijk parcour, zowel lasg als steil. Prachtig parcours.

Super sensations

Jocelyn_S, Aug 2024
Alors déjà l'accueil est très agréable. Le patron est une personne vraiment très arrangeante. Il parle un excellent français pratique pour les règles de sécurité. Le guide en quad était vraiment parfait le rythme était idéal. On a pu voir des paysages magnifiques des animaux. Les buggy étaient de bonne qualité. Des descentes impressionnantes mais faisable avec un enfant de 11 ans. Et petite pause agréable dans un café. En revanche prévoyez des habits aux quels vous ne tenez pas trop.

Trop bien, on s’est bien...

Tsioriniaina_R, Jul 2023

Ha sido una grata sorpresa ya que hemos sido un grupo de 8 personas y así hermos disfrutado más ya que se cuida así mejor al cliente. Todo perfecto y recorrido muy bueno. Tres horas de ruta y más de 60 km. Increíble. Repetiremos si volvemos al Algarve. Buggys nuevos y monitor y demás personal excepcional. Gracias

Superbe expérience

Mathilde_L, Jun 2022
Tout était super. Les chemins perdus, les paysages très sauvage, l’arrêt pour boire un café. Le guide. Je recommande

Une découverte "Fun"

NgocDuc_C, Jun 2022
Réception : Accueil chaleureux de notre guide en langue française. Briefing :Très professionnel. Prend le temps nécessaire pour nous informer des mesures de sécurités à prendre. Donne de nombreuses informations concernant l'équipement et la conduite du Buggy. Equipements : Outre le casque et les lunettes de protection, il est fourni une charlotte, un masque anti poussière ainsi qu'un sac de protection pour nos affaires. Notre guide nous ouvrira la route avec son Quad. Le parcours : Très varié avec de beaux paysages et une petite halte dans un charmant village. Empruntons des routes, des chemins de terre et en rocailles. Traversons des rivières et des terrains à travers la végétation. Au retour : "Un dépoussiérage" de nos vêtement par air. Conclusion : Superbe expérience et circuit découverte. Attention : Ai fait l'erreur de laisser le volant à ma femme au départ...et qui n'a pas voulu me le rendre faute à cette expérience grisante.

super activité

Olivier_H, Jun 2022
L'accueil a été excellent. Nous avons apprécié cette activité où nous avons pas vu le temps passé....le parcours est très bien avec des parties techniques et d'autres plus tranquilles. La petite halte pour boire un coup a été appréciée. A la fin, un petit coup de soufflette pour enlever la poussière....je recommande si vous avez envie de sensation hors des sentiers battus....

Très bien

Alexandre_L, Sep 2021
Très bonne expérience en buggy avec un accueil et un personnel très agréable. Prévoir une tenue de rechange car on en ressort pleins de poussières.

Superbe expérience

Lucie_D, Sep 2021
Balade de 3heures très agréables. Moniteur à l'écoute de nos attentes, sympa, agréable,rigolo. Nous recommandons cette activité pour tout les mordus de sensation. Nous avons pu avoir une vue imprenable sur la ville,qui n'est pas négligeables.

Super expérience !

louis_v, Sep 2021
Moment super cool ! 3h de balade avec de beaux paysages. Une équipe très accueillante et sympathique ! Prix correct , je recommande !

Très bonne expérience

Yannick_J, Aug 2021
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cette balade avec nos 2 enfants de 9 et 10 ans. L’équipe est sympathique, beaux paysages, petit arrêt dans un joli village, nous recommandons !

Trop top ! Parcours à sensation ni trop long ni trop court et guides très sympa !

Stphanie_I, Aug 2021
Beaux chemins beaux paysages les guides sont très sympas. Prévoir le masque pas pour le covid mais pour la poussière et des vêtements de rechanges ! L été la rivière est asséchée mais je suppose que si vous faites l expérience hors ete ça doit bien salir les vêtements lol Il y a deux types de buggy un plus large sans marche arrière et sans clignotants (buggy orange) et les autres buggy noir (celui qu on a pris) je crois que les parcours sont légèrement différents en fonction des type de buggy et il semble que le parcours avec buggy noir est un peu plus à sensation (selon un couple qui a fait avec les deux). Nous avons fait une petite pause café. En principe on peut changer de conducteur à cet pause mais moi qui voulait faire que 10min pour essayer le guide nous a fait changer en cours de parcours. C était une activité vraiment cool. J avais peur d avoir trop chaud mais en fait non ça a été

Bonne balade

MICHEL_M, Aug 2021
Jolie petite excursion avec des guides sympas. Pour info ils parlent assez bien le Français et ils ne nous prennent pas la tête. Seul bémol, le point GPS n’est pas bon pour un plan de iPhone. Il faut le taper dans Google Maps
