Greece · QUAD SAFARIS IN HERAKLION
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 quad safaris in Heraklion worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before committing.
You’ll learn to handle a quad, then follow quiet coastal and mountain paths from Agia Pelagia to Achlada and a local olive-oil mill. Taste olives, honey, and oil before watching sunset over Heraklion Bay. English, French, German, and Greek guides lead groups of up to 10.
Ride a quad, 1000cc automatic buggy, Monster 800cc, or Jeep through the hills around Heraklion. Creta Quad Safari provides instruction, helmets, guides such as Harry and Dylan, lunch, hotel or port pickup, and a route mixing dusty tracks, olive groves, villages, a historic cave, Karteros Gorge, and a beach stop.
“I had a great time getting to see a different side of Crete. Getting to see the gorges and caves were amazing to see. The guides are really friendly and do a great job of getting you to the sight and to the port/airport on time.”
Ride a solo or shared CF450cc or CF520cc quad from Malia through olive groves and vineyards to an olive oil factory, Milatos Cave, Milatos Beach, Sissi, and Milatos. You’ll get instruction, a helmet, transfers, lunch, and an English-speaking guide. Madi is one guide praised for making the day fun.
“Best tour ever. Got picked up on time, great guides, never rushed, great lunch. Very well maintained equipment and the facilities were modern and clean.”
Spend six hours riding into Crete’s mountains in a small group of up to eight. Your guide, such as George, Kosta, Chris, or Yiannis, takes you along rocky roads to quiet villages, local tastings, and a high sunset viewpoint with prosecco and fruit. Finish with a Cretan dinner, unlimited wine, and possibly Greek dancing.
“It was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend. The highlight of our trip. Had the most lovely experience tasting the oils and olives. Food was delicious and the scenery was memorising. Had the best time.”
Spend four hours riding an ATV from the Hersonissos area to Skotino Cave, Voritsi village, an olive mill and rakokazano, then a mountain viewpoint and Aposelemis beach. English-speaking guides such as Andreas and Haris lead small groups, with safety gear, fuel, water, snack, and hotel pickup included.
“This was an amazing experience, we got picked up on time from our hotel, demo for quads excellent and wow the trip was great from start to finish, particular highlights were the off road experience,views from the top of the mountain and the brilliant tour of olive oil production …. We laughed throughout the 3+ hours and Harris was a great guide highly recommended thank you We did the evening tour and hope to do the day tour next year”
Spend six hours driving an ATV through Hersonissos, olive groves, mountain roads, and coastal scenery with guides such as Alex or Haris. Stops include Gouverniotisa Monastery, Aposelemis Dam, an olive oil factory, a village taverna, the Cave of Agia Fotini, and a beach swim. Hotel pickup, lunch, fuel, and safety gear are included.
“Our guide was awesome and made the whole experience a lot of fun. He shared history of the places we visited, offered to take our photos at the highlights, and kept us in great spirits. First time driving an ATV and we want to do it again soon! It's not too hard to learn, after a couple short rides you get used to it. The local lunch was great as well and there was pickup/dropoff at our hotel. All included. Thanks for a great day!! Cheers from Canada 😃”
