Quad or buggy: two ways to ride

By quad (ATV). You drive an Aodes quad yourself and follow our guide. Join a group tour at a set time, or book a private tour at the time you choose. Each quad takes up to two people, so a passenger can ride with you.

By buggy, with a picnic. Our professional driver takes you along the route in the CFMOTO U1000 XL buggy, so nobody in your group needs a licence. The buggy option is always a private tour and includes a picnic.
