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 got picked up on time and as this took place near Sal Town, the journey was not even 10 minutes from out hotel which was a bonus. Once we got there, the guide didn't waste no time, Nick explained how to use the quads and how long we would be out. We had helmets for protection which felt really safe. This was a 3 hour quad bike experience and it is so worth the money. The views you see are unreal. A fantastic way of seeing Sal whilst enjoying the thrill of the quads.

At least two hours over 3+ of fast pace, up down, hairpin turns on sand, rough terrain and stone. First time on a quad bike at 68 yrs old - far exceeded expectations. Having a full motorcycle licence and being an adrenaline junkie certainly helped me enjoy this fantastic morning out from the mundane hotel. Excellent value for money, many thanks.

Fantastic trip. No complaints

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.
