Mother Nature might as well have designed the beaches and dunes of Sal for quad biking – because they're ideal for this adrenaline-pumping activity. We'll take you to the world-famous Kite Beach in the southeast of the island for an experience that'll get your races pulsing. You can choose either a two or four-hour quad ride.

You'll be picked up from your hotel and we'll soon be making a beeline for the island's famous salt plains. Once you've trundled past Serra Negra mountains and the white salt flats, you won't be far from Kite Beach.

This beach gets its name from the legions of kitesurfers who come here for the huge swells and high winds. This excursion is almost a whistle-stop tour of the island – with a rip-roaring bit of fun in a quad being the icing on the cake.

We enjoyed the quad bike experience, booked 3h. Our guide was very good and we visited few nice places. It was just 2 of us and a guide, so was amazing, like a private tour.

We wore shorts but you should recommend long trousers as the tank becomes very hot

We (family of 3) had a great experience with this trip. The guide was brilliant and there was a photographer that is definitely worth the extra money. Not the cheapest trip, but full on fun and worth every penny. We stopped in some beautiful spots along the way. Take some euros in your pocket for a drink in a small cafe. I left my money back at the office where we started so couldn't get a drink. I didnt realise we would be stopping at any point.

Very exhilarating, loved the variety of corners and hills we went over!

Brilliant way to explore the island, great patience from the guides. Even if you're a little nervous I'd highly recommend and an absolute bargain for the amount of time and exploration. Really enjoyed it with 2 of us on a quad. Take glasses and a face mask, you can put a small bag in the quad too.

Great tour of the Island on the 4 hour quad bike ride. Visited lots of the sites and Eddie our guide was really good and lots of knowledge of the whole of the Sal and the other Islands also.
