Quad or buggy, driver or passenger, and how the options compare.
29 posts
Nervous about your first ride in Side? The two-seat buggy at €30 is usually the gentler start: steering wheel, seat belts, roll cage and someone beside you. The single-rider quad at €25 suits guests who want their own machine. Both begin with a safety briefing and a supervised test drive at our base, and anyone who would rather not drive can do the whole route as a belted passenger from age 6. Free transfer, book free, pay on the day.
