One Hour Quad Safari in Mijas

This activity is a welcoming introduction to quad biking in the hills behind the Costa del Sol, and you will share a two-seat quad with a friend or partner while an experienced guide leads the convoy. We keep the pace steady and the briefing thorough, so first-time riders can focus on the views over Málaga province rather than worrying about the machine.

🛞 What to Expect

You will arrive a little early so we can run through check-in, helmet fitting and a clear safety briefing before anyone leaves the yard. Your guide explains how the quad handles on gravel and dust, demonstrates braking and spacing in convoy, and only then sets off at a calm pace that lets nervous riders settle in quickly.

On the trail you follow a scenic loop with planned photo stops overlooking pine slopes and open valleys. The route uses gentle terrain and wide tracks where the group can stay together, and your guide points out landmarks while reminding everyone how to ride responsibly through the countryside we share with walkers and wildlife.

📍 Location

Las Lagunas de Mijas sits just inland from the Mediterranean, with quick access to trail networks in the Mijas hills, so you reach open countryside within minutes of leaving the base. That makes the session easy to slot into a beach holiday whether you are staying in Fuengirola, Mijas pueblo or further along the coast.

The landscape mixes rolling hills, forest edges and distant sea views on clear days, and it feels like classic Andalusian backcountry: quiet tracks, big skies and a sense of space that contrasts with the busy coastal strip below.

✅ Prerequisites

Anyone who plans to drive must hold a full Category B car licence and bring the original document to check-in, because we verify it before helmets go on and the briefing begins. Passengers do not need a licence but should be comfortable sitting on the quad for the full hour over dusty, uneven tracks.

Wear comfortable outdoor clothes and sturdy closed shoes, and bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a bottle of water because the routes are exposed and the sun can feel strong even when there is a breeze. A light layer helps in cooler months, and a bandana or dust mask can make the ride more pleasant when the trails are dry.
