Quick safety briefing.
Pit stop at the beach. Here we will see the fishing vessels that still employ the 'arte xávega', a traditional way of fishing that has been used in this region since the XVIII century.
As soon as we get confortable with the bikes, we head inland to explore the sandy off-road terrains. We get to visit upclose the great fossil canyon, it was once the bottom of the ocean and it is full of fossils, some of them millions of years old, if you're lucky you may even find yourself a souvenir.
Visit to the Capuchos convent. Built in the XVI century by an important portuguese family, it has been a conspicuous landmark of this region ever since. Today, it preserves it's beautiful gardens and a magnificent view over the atlantic.
We then head to the forest for some challeging trails, discovering the hidden secrets that hide between the trees.
Visit to the 2ª bateria da trafaria, an abandoned military compound built in the 19th century to protect the city of Lisbon, although it doesn't have a military use, it still has some amazing views of the river, belém and sintra.
Visit to the abandoned 'ondaparque' waterpark. It was open only from 1988 until 1996, but it still was one of the most imponent waterparks in Portugal. Now, almost 30 years later, the vegetation is taking over wich gives it an unique vibe.
We set out to cova do vapor, the village where the river Tejo meets the atlantic ocean, from there we enjoy a beautiful view of the bugio lighthouse, located in the midle of the river Tejo.

What a fun activity! You see places you wouldn't go yourself. The guide (David and Assen) tells a lot of fun facts and is very nice. Highly recommended👍
Frankly amazing and funny, thank you MANUEL you are the best guide I could have had
We had a great time with manual and another couple in buggy
It is a new experience for us. Manuel is a great guide, communicates well and takes care of the whole group. We had a blast!
The tour was fantastic! Rodrigo and Diogo were wonderful guides—knowledgeable, attentive, and made us feel very safe throughout. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone!
Really fun once in a lifetime experience. Manu, Rodri and David were all so fantastic and accommodating. Thrill seekers will have a blast! A great way to view parts of the area you wouldn’t see otherwise.
Would highly recommend to anyone whatever experience you have, the guides were so friendly and the views were amazing. Definitely worth the visit.
A very nice team. Especially the two guides (Thomas and Garcia?) made the tour quite varied and exciting. It started quite relaxed to get used to and then increased in the last half of the tou to a fast-paced ride, great, well organized and planned. The guides also offered to take photos. Thank you guys, you were great.
Safe and fun way to experience quad biking. Friendly team running it and some interesting sights along the way. Great fun. Highly recommend.
Our time was fantastic!! The quads were very easy to maneuver, and we drove on roads with beautiful sights. We saw a abandoned military base, the house of former king, we witnessed the sunset while driving on rural dirt roads. I can only recommend it, the guides were very nice and helpful, and the next time we'll be in Lisbon, we'll definitely come back.
