Quad & Buggy in Azores

5 tours · €80–€198 per person · ★ 4.8

A quad or buggy is the playful way to reach the corners of an Azorean island the coach tours miss, bouncing up dirt tracks to crater rims, along the coast and through the back-country pasture where the cows outnumber the cars. You drive your own machine in a guided convoy, so it is as much about the ride as the views.

The quad and buggy tours on this page are ones we picked by hand, run by guides who keep it safe and know the routes that pay off. On Sao Miguel, a quad trip climbs to the Sete Cidades crater rim and the Lagoa do Fogo overlooks on tracks a car cannot take; buggies seat two and suit anyone who would rather be driven part of the way. Most run half or full day, brief you before you set off, and grade the route to the group. They mix tarmac with off-road, with stops at the headline viewpoints.

For an active, hands-on half-day, a quad or buggy turns the sightseeing into the fun. Wear clothes you do not mind getting muddy, and expect dust, splashes and a grin by the end.

5 Azores quad and buggy tours from EUR 80. Handpicked guides, crater rims and off-road viewpoints, half and full day with free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
