Get behind the handlebars and ride through the mountains surrounding Mijas on an unforgettable guided quad tour. With small groups, you can take it at your own pace while soaking up the beauty of rural Malaga. Family-run and welcoming, these tours let you discover hidden trails and scenic views far from the usual tourist spots. All quads have automatic transmission.
Your adventure begins with a short orientation and safety briefing, where the guide explains how to handle the quad and navigate the trails. You’ll start on quiet roads through the traditional streets of Mijas, giving a sense of the village charm before heading off the beaten path.
Once on the off-road trails, the landscape changes dramatically. Rugged hills rise ahead, valleys open below, and wild vegetation lines the routes. As you ride, your focus will be on controlling the quad and taking in the scenery. The guides choose routes that balance excitement and safety, with gentle climbs, narrow tracks, and open viewpoints where you can pause to appreciate the countryside.
On longer tours, expect to explore deeper into the Mijas mountains. You may ride through shaded groves, along narrow ridges, and across open plains that provide a bird’s-eye view of the coast in the distance. Regular photo stops allow you to capture memories and enjoy quiet moments away from the crowds. A refreshment break at a local garden centre on the 3-hour tour adds a relaxed pause, letting you enjoy some local flavours before continuing into the hills. Every route is designed to highlight authentic rural Malaga while making sure everyone enjoys a comfortable and engaging ride.
With over 10 years operating as the oldest quad tour company on the Costa del Sol, the family-run team prioritises small groups, safety, and local knowledge. Tours focus on exploring the hidden corners of rural Malaga, giving a personal, authentic experience rather than high-speed thrills. Discover valleys, mountains, and coastal views with an insider’s perspective that only locals can provide.
Children can ride on the back of a quad from 7 years old. They must always be seated securely behind a responsible adult.
Riding on the back allows younger riders to experience the adventure safely while you focus on driving. Guides ensure that seating and safety measures are correctly applied before leaving the base. Families often find this setup encourages shared excitement, with children enjoying views of the mountains and valleys that would otherwise be inaccessible.
No previous quad experience is needed. Before the tour begins, the guide explains how to start, stop, and manoeuvre the quad safely.
Even first-time drivers quickly gain confidence, guided every step of the way. The trails are chosen to suit your skill level, allowing you to enjoy the route without pressure. Experienced riders can also enjoy more varied terrain and off-road tracks that test handling and control.
A full, valid driving licence is required to operate the quad. International licences are accepted if valid in Spain.
The guide will check your licence before the tour starts. Driving without a licence is not permitted for safety and insurance reasons. Anyone without a licence can still join as a passenger, so the whole family or group can enjoy the experience together.
Tours are limited to 4 quads and 8 people.
This ensures you get personal guidance, enjoy a steady pace, and have opportunities to stop for photos without feeling rushed. Small group sizes also make it easier for the guide to manage safety while exploring narrow mountain trails. Many customers comment that the relaxed pace and intimate group size make the experience feel more like a personalised adventure than a commercial tour.
Yes, designated photo stops are included along the route to capture mountain views, valleys, and the coastline in the distance.
The guide will advise the best spots for photography and safe places to pause. Riding on a quad allows access to locations that are not accessible by car or on foot, offering unique perspectives for photos. It’s worth bringing a secure case or strap for your camera or phone to keep it safe while riding.
Comfortable outdoor clothing and sturdy, closed-toe shoes are recommended.
Helmets are provided, and wearing a bandana is optional to protect from dust. Long sleeves and pants are ideal to protect against sun and minor scratches from vegetation on the trails. Dressing in layers can be helpful, as temperatures in the mountains can change during the day.
Yes, free parking is available outside and inside the venue.
Step-free access allows easy preparation before the ride, and bathroom facilities are available for convenience. The base is well organised to make arrivals and departures smooth, particularly for families or groups carrying extra gear.
Absolutely. Children from 7 can ride safely on the back of a quad, and groups of friends or couples can all enjoy the same experience.
Guided tours are designed to be flexible, allowing the group to move at a comfortable pace. Safety measures are in place for all ages, making it a fun and memorable activity for everyone. Many families return to try longer tours once they see what the mountains have to offer.
