The one-hour quad bike tour is for the adventurous who want to explore the immediate surroundings of the Ranch de Diabat (near Essaouira). Nature is still intact here and we attach great importance to respecting the animals, plants and people we encounter. Before you set off, we will help you choose the right helmet and there will be a short test ride to try out the quad bike and get a few valuable tips. We start in Diabat and drive towards the beach, past the Sultan's palace, which is almost submerged in the sand. Once on the beach, you should follow the guide's trail. We pass fishermen's huts and reach freshwater springs that spring directly from the beach and help the animals to quench their thirst. The way back leads along a winding track further inland over dunes and through the mimosa and eucalyptus forest. Only the most experienced guides will lead you on the sand dunes and through the small forest of eucalyptus and mimosa.

Our adventure starts in Diabat, a village near Essaouira. Our pick-up service will take you there. Here you can choose a suitable helmet and there will be an introduction to the use of the quad. You will then take a test drive to make sure you are comfortable with this vehicle.
The sultan's palace, half submerged in the sand, looks magical and inspires the imagination to visualise what this building might once have looked like.
Evade over beaches, dunes, freshwater springs until the big dunes of Cap Sim. The beach south of Essaouira is kilometres long and you meet less and less people the further you get away from Essaouira. Quad biking is great fun here!
The tour ends again in Diabat, from where our drop-off service will take you back to Essaouira.

Excellent experience. The circuit we went on was amazing with very beautiful landscape. The bikes had absolutely no problem and the guides were very kind. The ranch itself is a cozy place with loads of animals. They took the time to explain everything about the bikes and were very attentive with all of us during the ride. Would completely recommend to anyone who’d want to do a quad bike trip in essaouira, or horse/camel riding as well.
Unforgettable quad bike excursion! Everything was perfect: the beauty of the Ranch, the welcome, but also the safety. Magnificent sunset excursion. A big thank you to Younes.
I was on the camel ride at sunset and the quad bike tour. Both activities were great and the guide was super motivated!
Absolutely catastrophic experience. The behaviour of the personnel was simply unacceptable: total lack of professionalism, aggression and disregard for our safety. Worse still, they put my 5-year-old daughter at risk, which is unacceptable and unforgivable. We felt mistreated from beginning to end, without any listening or respect. An outing that was supposed to be a pleasant time with the family turned into a real nightmare. Absolutely fleeing.
Madame, Aucune demande d’excursion privée n’avait été faite lors de votre réservation. Vous l’avez exigée en découvrant que l’activité se ferait avec des participants marocains, déclarant publiquement ne pas vouloir sortir avec eux étant Belge et propriétaire d'un hôtel. Malgré notre proposition d’une sortie privée sans supplément, vous avez continué à hurler de laisser un avis négatif, nous filmer sans consentement, publié la photo de votre enfant de 5 ans avec son visage visible, et crié des insultes au visage de responsable lors du remboursement intégral avec transport offert. Ce comportement donne une image injuste des voyageurs belges que nous recevons pourtant chaque jour avec plaisir et respect. Depuis plus de 25 ans, le Ranch de Diabat accueille toutes les nationalités dans un esprit d’hospitalité et de respect mutuel.
Walk in the dunes and on the beach. Beautiful setting! Very nice guide! Very professional agency that offers many activities at very attractive prices
