Quad & Buggy in Albufeira

Behind Albufeira's beaches the Algarve rises into dry hills and orange groves, and a quad or buggy is the fun way to get up into them, off the resort strip and onto the dirt tracks where the views open back over the coast. You drive your own machine in a guided group, kicking up dust through the backcountry villages and almond orchards.

The quad and buggy tours on this page are ones we picked by hand, run by guides who keep it safe and know the trails. From Albufeira, most trips head inland to the hill villages, viewpoints over the coast and a stop at a local spot for a drink, on a mix of tarmac and off-road track. Quads put you solo on the throttle; buggies seat two, so one can drive and one can hang on. Most run a couple of hours to half a day, brief you first, and suit beginners as much as anyone who has ridden before.

For an active break from the sunlounger, a quad or buggy is the easy adrenaline pick. Wear closed shoes and clothes for dust, and expect to come back grinning and a little dirty.
