Which would suit you?
Does the buggy cost more for two people?
The daytime buggy costs €40 more per vehicle than the daytime quad (€139 versus €99). Both prices cover one or two people. For two occupants, that works out at €69.50 each for the buggy or €49.50 each for the quad; you book and pay by vehicle.
Can beginners join?
You do not need previous quad-riding experience for the quad tour. Every driver must follow the guide’s briefing and instructions. Tell us if you are unsure about either vehicle, and confirm passenger ages and suitability before booking. Neither choice removes the need to meet the driving requirements.
Can a group mix quads and a buggy?
Quad and buggy tours can run together with a shared guide. Check that both vehicle types are available for the same departure before paying. There is a maximum of one buggy per departure. Ask us to help coordinate a mixed group.
Which has the better route?
Choose based on the vehicle you want to drive, rather than a promised trail or stop. These are outdoor experiences in the Costa da Caparica region; the route and stops depend on the day’s terrain, weather and safety conditions. Three hours is the whole experience, not continuous driving time.
What about sunset or a private departure?
The daytime prices and durations above do not apply to every format. Sunset tours last 1 hour 45 minutes, with quads from €89 and buggy pricing on request. Private tours are quoted individually. Both start with an enquiry.
Before you choose a date.
Both vehicles depart from Rua das Quintinhas, Charneca da Caparica, Portugal. The exact house number is shared only after booking. Transport from Lisbon is not included. Check the journey and return plan, then review the booking conditions.
