Select participants and date
By the time the minibus eases off the coastal road and into a rutted dirt track, the Mediterranean has already fallen away behind you—blue turned to a silver edge. In front, the trunks of umbrella pines line a narrow canyon carved into limestone; the engines hum and the guides move with practiced calm, checking helmets and throttles. For the next hour the trail will demand attention: tight switchbacks, shallow stream crossings that dare you to open the throttle, and dusty berms that throw sprays of grit like confetti against your goggles.

Adventure Tips
Wear old, sturdy shoes
Closed-toe hiking shoes or boots protect your feet from mud and rocks and are easier to clean than sandals.
Bring a small dry bag for electronics
Phones and cameras get splashed—waterproof pouches keep them safe while you shoot action shots at stream crossings.
Listen to the safety briefing
The guide will cover vehicle handling and passing rules—follow them to avoid collisions on narrow tracks.
Mind passenger weight rules
If two people share one quad the operator may require an ageband discount for the second rider—check at booking.
