Select a pickup point
Choose an early morning or afternoon departure and your required buggy numbers when you book. Then, begin your experience with a pickup from your hotel in Rethymno or Georgiopoulos Town, or alternatively, Rethymno bus station or the office of the local service provider. Once at the buggy base, meet your qualified guide and be provided with your Polaris buggy, helmet, and a detailed briefing. Then, when you’re ready, set off on your fun safari. Drive off road as you head up the slopes of Mt. Maroulas. Make your first stop on the summit and enjoy about 10 minutes to soak up the magnificent panoramic views and take some unique photos. Continue from here and make a second stop at Gidospito near the shores of the beautiful Potami Dam Lake. Enjoy about 20 minutes here to relax and refuel with a coffee at a traditional kafeneion (coffee house) located in a setting to remember. Last but not least, drive on to the picturesque village of Prassies and break here for a quick snack. Finally, return to the buggy base before a drop-off at the original starting point brings your experience to an end. You’ll come away with some beautiful photos and memories that will make your visit to Greece extra special.

Awesome tour, friendly tour guide, extremely scenic and fun. Good opportunity to go faster and advanced off roading if the rest of the group had more experience. Only way that this excursion could improve is if the would pick up and drop off at any location in Crete. Highly recommended!! Excellent!
