Excellent. I was contacted by Youssef by WhatsApp immediately after booking to confirm the pickup time and location. Pickup was from my hotel, on time and just a short drive to the ranch. There were only two other people booked on the activity so it was a nice small group. We covered a lot of distance, on all different types of terrain; some on-road, dirt tracks, beach… On the beach near the lagoon, we had the opportunity to really open the throttle and get some speed which was really fun and exhilarating. The instructor gave us opportunity to pose for photos which were taken on our own phone at no extra cost. An excellent activity to spend half a day on this gorgeous island. Thanks to Youssef and his team.

It was a great tour! There was really nice contact beforehand, perfectly organized transport and then we were off without having to wait long. The instructions were practical and quick. We had time to get used to the quads and then drove on regular roads and sand tracks. Then things moved on really quickly in the lagoon. It was a fantastic tour, great company and with everything that is possible for such a trip. Many thanks to the team for an unforgettable day.

Excellent. I enjoyed the camel and horseback caravan ride so much I booked for the 2h horse ride. One to one ride on a lovely well behaved horse. I have risen only a couple of times but felt very safe. Enjoyed the ride along the country trails and the beach. The instructor gave me chance to trot and canter with the horse. He took lots of photos and videos on my phone at no extra cost. A wonderful experience to enjoy the nature and scenery on horseback.

Great day at sea with the pirate ship crew!! Between local customs, a super good meal, entertainment and a good atmosphere everything was really perfect! I recommend 100%. Thanks again!

Was a great day out and very entertaining. Cannot beat it for the price.
