Quad Biking Adventures

Beyond the hotels and the long beach, the land around Agadir turns to sand, scrub and argan country. Guided quad rides follow suitable, designated tracks where riding is permitted, giving you open horizons, a little dust and plenty of laughter. Beginners can learn the controls before setting off; confident riders can enjoy a livelier pace where conditions allow.

Highlights

• A guided ride — always following a guide on designated tracks, never across protected land or beaches where riding is not allowed.
• Open landscapes — sandy tracks and scrubland outside the city, with views that change with the light.
• Single or double — ride your own quad or share one, depending on what the organiser offers.
• A short briefing first — controls, braking and hand signals explained before you start.

What to expect

Rides usually begin with helmets, a safety briefing and a few practice turns. The group then sets off in line behind the guide, with stops to rest, take photos and enjoy the view. The pace is set by the guide and adapted to the least experienced rider.

The exact area depends on the organiser and on local rules about where vehicles may ride. We will tell you where your ride would take place when you enquire.

Where it is

Quad rides around Agadir use open land outside the city. The landscapes of the Souss — sandy coastal tracks and low hills dotted with argan trees — make a striking contrast with the resort seafront.
