A tourist trap Zero thrills, quads in a deplorable state (brakes, idling...) 50% ride on asphalt road 2 to 3 hours advertised, 1 hour 20 minutes performed
We had such a brilliant time on the 3-hour Algarve quad bike tour and would absolutely recommend it! Francisco was our guide and was fantastic from the moment we arrived. He was friendly, welcoming and incredibly attentive throughout the whole experience. He took time to explain Portuguese history and tell us about the different areas we visited, which made the tour feel much more personal than simply riding around on quad bikes. He was very safety conscious and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident, while still making the experience great fun. A genuinely lovely man and an excellent guide! As for the quad biking itself — fun, exhilarating and VERY dirty! 😂 Definitely wear clothes you don’t mind getting covered in dust and dirt. One little tip: if you’re wearing shorts, be careful with your left leg, as the exhaust area on the quad can get extremely hot. We would definitely recommend doing the 3-hour tour. It gives you plenty of time to really enjoy the experience and see more of the Algarve. Our only tiny criticism would be the final stop at the cafés. It would have been nice to have had another 10–15 minutes there, as some of us hadn’t quite finished our drinks and ice creams before it was time to get going again. It certainly didn’t spoil the experience though. That small point aside, we would happily do the whole thing all over again! Thank you, Francisco, for making it such a fun, interesting and memorable experience. 🇵🇹❤️🏍️
Exhilarating torture! Hot muffler blowing on legs. Wear pants. Buy the mask. SOOOO DUSTY!!! Nice guys. Pretty olive groves were seen. Big group. About 15 quads. Just FYI.
The safety briefing was comprehensive and thorough, in fact safety was the number one priority for the whole trip. We visited a castle, an organic farm and a popular local swimming area with cafe. The trails were varied ( and dusty!) with bumps but throughout our guide, Francisco, was knowledgeable and engaging. If you haven't experienced any off road driving then as a 78 year old driver, I cannot recommend it enough.
Thank you Rúben, our guide who was exceptional. It is a great moment to share with your loved ones. Between sensations and discovering hidden spots, we had a wonderful 3-hour morning on a quad. We will return.
Yesterday we took a 4 bike ride with the Algarve Raiders and it was simply amazing! We love the experience. The staff was super friendly and professional from the beginning, explained everything calmly and made us always feel safe. I want to leave a special thanks to the monitor Francisco, who was extremely patient and attentive to me, at first I had some difficulty getting out with the bike from the park, even after the first explanation, and he had the sympathy to explain to me again with all the calm. From then on I felt much more comfortable. The route through the area of Paderne is spectacular, with off-road trails, beautiful landscapes and a lot of adrenaline mixed. One of the highlights was the stop in the middle of the walk, next to a kind of “laguna” a quiet and perfect place to relax a little, take photos and enjoy nature. The whole experience was very well organized. It was a perfect combination of fun and adventure. We recommend 100%! No doubt an experience to repeat in other options that exists in the Algarve Raiders. Thank you to the Algarve Raiders team for this amazing day!
Unforgettable experience with very nice trails and visit places you could never find for yourself , I recommend it 100%.

3 hours of quad excursion with Rùben our guide. Very nice excursion, guaranteed thrills and Rùben is very professional, speaks very good French, very human and allowed us to discover beautiful places. Rùben has adapted to our conduct and he is very attentive, he explained the safety rules very well and enriched us with his knowledge of all the places visited. I highly recommend this experience with Rùben.

It was an overall great experience. We’ve gone on several ATV tours. The landscape was limited but I think the tour did their best with choosing the stops and creating a fun environment with some culture and history.
Dear Jeannine_S, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you had an overall great time and appreciated the effort our team put into creating a fun and engaging tour. While the landscape can be a bit limited in some areas, we’re happy that the stops, culture, and history helped make it memorable. Hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
