MONCHIQUE · ALGARVE
A quad tour through the Monchique mountains
Even if you've never been on a quad
A guided tour through the Serra de Monchique, with hilltop views, an old watermill, the little town of Monchique and a Portuguese lunch. No racing, no rush. Just the Algarve most visitors never get to see.

You've done the beach. Now see the Algarve from the mountains.
Most holidays in the Algarve look the same: beach, boat trip, beach again. Lovely, but it's not the whole picture.
A 25 to 40 minute drive from the coast, the Serra de Monchique rises to the highest point of the Algarve. Cork oaks, an old watermill, quiet mountain tracks and views that reach all the way to the coast. It's a side of the Algarve one guest called "this bit of the Algarve 99.9% don't see".
Not everyone in your group is sure about quads? That's normal.
Maybe someone has never ridden one?
Maybe someone doesn't like speed?
Maybe you're wondering whether it's OK for the kids?
Maybe you think you'll spend the whole day being shaken about in a cloud of dust?
Our guests have the same doubts before the tour.
This is what they say after:
"I'm not a lover of extreme things and I was nervous going into this but you take a slow leisurely ride through the mountains stopping off along the way learning about the history of the area."

"We were shown very clearly how to operate the quads (much more straight forward than I was expecting!)"
— Sarah B. on Tripadvisor
"The trip was mostly off road but not crazy, some bumps here and there which our 9 year old loved! So much fun, absolutely fantastic. Can’t recommend it highly enough."
— Helen S. on Tripadvisor
Why it feels easy, even the first time
A proper briefing before you start
We show you how the quad works and let you get the feel of it before we head out.
Quads looked after in-house
Every quad is maintained by someone who has spent a lifetime working on engines, and more than 40 years riding motorbikes.
A guide who stays with you all the way
Right beside your group, from the first meter to the last, ready to help.
Everything taken care of
Helmet fitted to you, insurance, fuel, drinking water along the way, and lunch.
A pace that leaves time to look around
We stop for the views, the photos and the stories. "the tour is not a racing tour, so there is enough time to take photos.
Just your own group, most of the time
A maximum of 5 quads for guests, and the tour runs from just 2 quads, so it's often only you and your party.
