Off-road adventure is the name of the game on this action-packed excursion. Spend four adrenaline-pumping hours carving up the sands and exploring the trails of Boa Vista's stunning south coast.

Choose whether you want your own quad or whether you're happier to be a passenger – and let your partner do all the hard work. You'll be fully instructed in how to safely ride these very powerful machines, before a quick test drive. Then we'll speed off to the village of Povoação Velha, where you can have a wander round and stretch your legs. Next, jump back in your quads for a drive over to the beautiful Santa Monica beach.

After exploring the beach, you'll drive over to Varandinha. Here the ocean has bitten chunks out of the coastline to form impressive seaside caves. Explore these intriguing rock formations before setting off along the magnificent Morro de Areia shoreline back to base, stopping for photos on the way.

The transport to and from the hotels became an issue on our return journey. Despite the driver indicating for us to come on the bus (with the same people we came with) it turned out he wasn’t going to our hotel and he only went to Toureg. He became verbally aggressive and argumentative with us on the journey back. Really bad show.

We’ve been on this tour 5 times and it’s always been great fun. This time, however, we didn’t spend as much time in the sand dunes or driving along the beach by the water’s edge which we loved on previous occasions.

Language barrier at the beginning was a little anxiety provoking as no information given - although the stall keeper outside was really helpful. Once on the quads staff were great in keeping us safe even separating us into two groups of fast and slow. The experience was the most amazing adventure over the sand dunes. Scenery was incredible - we even saw turtles! The advice about wearing old clothes was spot on! Would certainly do time and again

A really fun filled 4 hours , so much put in amazing experience, 5 stops and fantastic places we really enjoyed it.

The Quad staff are amazing and I felt very safe with them throughout the journey. Only point to work on is the TUI staff could be there at the front of the hotel to support and ensure the process of starting your trip is smooth as there are a lot of trips going on at the same time and a lot of people waiting it’s a bit confusing on where to go
