Full description

Get your adrenaline pumping with a 2-hour quad bike adventure on Sal with a professional local guide. Begin your tour with pickup at your hotel in Santa Maria, then drive to the local partner's office. Once there, show your driving license and get your gear for your adventure.

Then, embark on your 2-hour quad discovery tour. Ride first to the salt flats of Santa Maria and admire the beautiful sand dunes. Head on to Kite Beach, the favorite beach of kite-surfers, then make your way to Serra Negra, Sal's natural reserve.

Stop at the Serra Negra viewpoint and enjoy an amazing panorama of all of the south part of the island. If the weather permits, you can also see Boa Vista island. From there, cross the desert to make your next stop at the Palha Verde oasis.

The gentleman that collected me from my hotel was super punctual with time. When I arrived at the meet up point, form filling was straightforward and well explained. The guys were super chilled and helpful - helping us all with getting the outfits on. Explanation of how to use the quads was done simply...which was good. We were told in advance the stops we'd be making. Our guide was constantly checking that we were all still with him and following in the manner he explained. Our photographer was super bubbly and got some great angles of me throughout the excursion. The views were amazing and we were taken through some really challenging parts/terrain which was fun. At the end, there was no pressure to purchase pictures at the end, very laid-back approach which is nice. Alot of pictures were taken so it really is value for money (in my opinion). The entire experience was GREAT! Highly recommend. 2 hours is more than enough I feel 😊
