Very good experience and great value for money! The safari lasted around 3 hours, including stops and each stop was beautiful! I’m quite a nervous driver so very glad we opted for one quad bike for two people. The tour guides were great and checked-in with the group often!

A really fun experience with lots of self-driving, but the quads were a bit outdated unfortunately..There were 2 technical problems on the way but otherwise a cool trip! Put on old clothes because the yellow sand gets everywhere 🥴
Lots of great views, lots of dusty back roads we all had a great time. Our guides were experienced , professional and knowledgeable of the area
Booking and contacting the organizer was super easy. About a week before, I was messaged via WhatsApp and asked if we wanted a pickup at the hotel. The quad tour began at 9:30 a.m. with an orientation and we were back at 1:30 p.m. Tip: if you have a neck gaiter at home, pack it. Otherwise you can buy one on-site for 2€. A bandana or neck gaiter is urgently necessary because it gets quite dusty and you otherwise get problems with breathing. In our group there were 3 quads and 3 buggies. So a manageable group. The guide was super nice and there were two short breaks and one 30-minute break. The guides had water and sandwiches with them for everyone. I recommend choosing clothes that can get dirty and sturdy footwear. You definitely get to see places in Crete here that are not accessible with a rental car.
Great experience very friendly staff a must do while in Rethymno
Such a fun way to see the area! A few stops with spectacular views. A great way to spend the day. Unexpected sandwich and photos taken which made it more than expected!
Nice quad outing. Very good organization. Magnificent landscapes and incredible views. I recommend it
Very nice quad bike outing. Hotel pickup. French-speaking guide. Superb landscapes but very dusty. A must-do to discover the Cretan hinterland.
Absolutely an incredible experience. A great way to see Crete’s beautiful landscapes while experiencing the adrenaline rush you were looking for.
We did the half-day quad safari with our two children, aged 7 and 10, and it was easily one of the highlights of our holiday. They absolutely loved it, and so did we. What really surprised us was just how much time you actually spend on the quads. We were driving for pretty much the whole experience, covering loads of different terrain. We drove through water, headed right up into the mountains and had some absolutely stunning views along the way. The scenery was fantastic throughout. As well as the mountain views, we stopped at a lovely little village and got to see the river and some beautiful parts of Crete that we probably wouldn’t otherwise have seen. The guys running it were really friendly and kept an eye on everyone throughout, checking in whenever anyone seemed to be having an issue with their quad. A genuinely brilliant experience and something a bit different to do as a family. Our 7- and 10-year-olds had an amazing time and we’d definitely recommend it.
