Quad in Essaouira
From gentle introduction to sporty adventure, explore the wild landscapes of Essaouira
Quad biking is the activity our guests book most in Essaouira. The dunes and the wild beach start right outside town, then, depending on the package, come the Atlantic coast and its fishing villages, the eucalyptus forest, the oases of the hinterland, the surf village of Sidi Kaouki or the Sidi M'Barek waterfalls. Every ride comes with a guide, helmet and insurance included, no licence needed, from age 10. Six packages, from 1 hour to a full day, from first try to real adventure.
