absolutely brilliant day out! I think the guides need to assess the group before heading out though and put the slower riders at the back so the more confident riders can keep up with the guide at the front as there were times we had to go extremely slow to not reach the person infront. apart from that I would highly recommend this day out!

It’s such a fun activity! Highly recommend if you want to see dunes, secluded beach and ride with quads around the island! So much fun!

We had a really nice, interesting and great time together. Everything was as described and the schedule was very well organized👍👍👍
