The quads were fun to ride with amazing views. We had a small group so we were able to drive pretty fast. The weather was a bit cloudy and rained a bit at certain locations but did not deter from the experience at all.
Awesome quad adventure

My husband and I just did the tour with Philipe. He took us through winding country scenic roads and up and around the crater lake of sete cidades with amazing views. We had several stops along the way to take photos and enjoy the scenery. We would highly recommend this tour. Philipe is very welcoming and pays attention to us while on the quads. Felt safe and had a blast touring the countryside!!
Super tour with very nice and tried guide.

The guide was really great and tried very hard despite cold wet weather. A lot of interesting stories were told and stopped at a beautiful vantage point. If you don't think you can take a quad bike, you can take a buggy. We would even do it again to have vllt in better weather more of the view. Great value with a sympathetic guide.
Thanks Bruno

Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, this tour was so great! There so many amazing viewpoints and opportunities for unique photos. I would highly recommend bringing layers and gloves as the temperature and wind can drastically change as you gain altitude. We would 100% do this tour again!
