PREMIUM Quad Tours

The best part of this experience is the chance to handle a new Yamaha Kodiak 450cc quad on a private route through Catalonia, rather than sitting in a large group vehicle. The ride begins in Santa Susanna and links several coastal towns with routes toward Montnegre and Montseny Natural Parks.

I like the simple one-hour format, which fits neatly into a beach-town day, and I like that one quad can carry two people for the listed price. The instructors also get high marks for clear directions, patience, and friendly help, including with a small misunderstanding during one booking.

The main catch is the paperwork and deposit. You need a current car driver’s license, and a €300 bond is blocked on your card for each quad. The ride is also weather dependent, so leave some flexibility in your plans.

Key points before you book

• New Yamaha Kodiak 450cc quads: Injection engines and room for two people per quad.
• Private outing: Only your group takes part, which makes the pace more personal.
• One-hour route: A manageable add-on to a day in Santa Susanna, Calella, or nearby towns.
• Park and coastal access: The route covers areas connected with Montnegre Natural Park and Montseny Natural Park.
• Driver’s license required: You must present a current car license before driving.
• €300 card hold: A security bond is required for each quad and is released after the vehicle check.

A one-hour quad ride with a useful sense of place

This is a short motor adventure, but it is not just a quick spin around a parking area. The route begins in Santa Susanna and reaches toward the Montnegre and Montseny Natural Park areas, with several coastal towns included along the way.

You can expect a practical introduction before setting off. The instructors explain how to operate the quad and what conditions apply. That matters because the vehicle is a full-size Yamaha Kodiak 450cc, not a small amusement-park machine.

The ride is private, so you are not joining a large public group. That gives your party more room to ask questions and get comfortable before moving out. The published experience is offered in English, which is useful if you do not speak Spanish or Catalan.

At about one hour, the timing is easy to fit around a beach morning, lunch, or another activity. It is not long enough to become an all-day commitment, but it is long enough to give you a real introduction to quad driving and the surrounding area.

What the Yamaha Kodiak 450cc means for you

The quad used here is a Yamaha Kodiak 450cc with injection and described as new. That is a strong point for anyone who wants a modern vehicle and a more substantial ride than a basic rental scooter.

Each quad can carry two people. The price is listed at $117.49 per group of up to two, and the important detail is that the amount is charged per quad. If two people share one vehicle, the cost works out more favorably than if each person needs a separate machine.

You should confirm how you want to share the ride when you arrive. The supplied information confirms that two people can ride on one quad, but it does not promise that both people will take turns driving during the hour. Only a person with the required current car license should expect to drive.

The vehicle choice also explains the need for a proper safety deposit. A €300 bond is required per quad, not simply per booking. This amount is blocked on a credit or debit card when you sign the contract and authorization conditions.

The bond is not described as an extra tour charge. It is held as security so the quad can be returned in the same condition. After the ride, IPSO Aventuras SL checks the vehicle and releases the amount. Still, you should arrive with enough available credit or funds for the temporary hold.

From Santa Susanna toward Montnegre and Montseny

Santa Susanna is both the meeting point and the end point. You begin at IPSO AVENTURAS, on Camí de la Riera de, and return there when the hour is over.

The route includes Santa Susanna, Pineda de Mar, Tordera, Calella, Malgrat de Mar, and Blanes. These names give you a clear sense of the ride’s setting: a mix of coastal towns and inland routes rather than one fixed attraction.

Santa Susanna

Santa Susanna is where you collect the quad, complete the paperwork, and receive the riding instructions. Since the starting office is also the finish point, you do not need to arrange a second pickup location.

This is also the place to deal with the practical details before the fun begins. Have your car driver’s license ready, and bring the payment card needed for the €300 bond. Taking care of those steps early keeps the departure less rushed.

Pineda de Mar

Pineda de Mar is one of the named points on the route. The available details do not promise a separate stop or sightseeing visit here, so think of it as part of the route rather than a guided town tour.

That distinction is useful. If you want a structured history walk, monuments, or a long pause in each town, this is not that kind of experience. You are here to ride through the area and enjoy the change between built-up coastal places and the park routes.

Tordera

Tordera adds another location to the route and suggests movement away from a purely seaside circuit. The attraction is the change of setting, not a listed landmark or scheduled activity.

I would treat this section as a chance to see more of the area from the quad rather than a destination with a long visit. The one-hour limit means the ride must keep moving, and the exact amount of time spent near each named place is not specified.

Calella

Calella is especially convenient if you are staying in or near the resort towns along this stretch of coast. One past rider specifically referred to returning if back in Calella, which makes the ride a practical option for visitors based there.

The route does not start in Calella, however. You still need to reach the Santa Susanna meeting point. The activity is listed near public transportation, but no specific bus or train instructions are supplied, so check the final route from your accommodation before booking.

Malgrat de Mar

Malgrat de Mar is another coastal point included in the ride. Like the other named locations, it helps define the route but does not come with a promised guided stop, attraction entry, or free time.

This is a good fit if you want to see how quickly the setting changes along the coast and nearby country roads. It is less suitable if your main goal is to spend time in each town.

Blanes

Blanes is listed as the final route point before returning to Santa Susanna. It gives the ride a wider reach than a local loop around the starting town.

The supplied details do not state whether Blanes is the turnaround point or simply one section of the route. I would not book this expecting a full visit to the town. Book it for the driving experience and the broad route between the coast and nearby natural areas.

Why the private format matters

This is a private activity, meaning only your own group participates. That is valuable if you want to ask basic questions without feeling hurried, or if one person in your party needs a little time to get used to the controls.

The private setup also fits couples and small groups well. One quad can carry two people, so a pair can share the vehicle rather than being split into separate public groups. If your party needs more than one quad, the security bond applies to each vehicle.

There is no stated maximum group size beyond the booking price being for up to two people per group. For that reason, you should not assume that a larger family or party can all be placed together under the same price.

The feedback supplied about the instruction style is encouraging. One rider found the directions easy to understand and the instructors friendly and helpful. Another praised the staff for being polite, patient during a misunderstanding, and professional throughout.

Those details matter more here than flashy claims. Quad driving has a short learning curve, but you still need clear instructions before heading out. A patient introduction can make the difference between spending the hour tense and spending it enjoying the route.

The real cost: $117.49 plus the temporary bond

At $117.49 per group of up to two, the price makes the most sense when two people share one quad. For a pair, you are paying for a private outing, a modern vehicle, instruction, and a one-hour route rather than a simple vehicle hire with no support.

The value is less clear if you ride alone, since the listed price remains per quad. In that case, you are paying for exclusive use of the vehicle and the private format, even though the second seat is empty.

You also need to plan for the €300 security hold per quad. This is not presented as money you lose, but it will be blocked on your credit or debit card until the vehicle has been checked after the ride. Make sure your card has enough available capacity.

The price may suit you if you want a compact activity with equipment included and do not want to commit half a day. It may not suit you if you are looking for the cheapest way to see the coast, since the ride is a paid driving activity rather than ordinary transport between towns.

What to bring and what to expect at the meeting point

Bring your current car driver’s license. It is a firm requirement, and you will need to present it before driving.

Bring a credit or debit card for the €300 bond per quad. The amount is blocked when you sign the contract and authorization conditions, then released after the necessary checks once the activity ends.

The activity is offered in English and uses a mobile ticket. Confirmation is provided at booking. The meeting point is IPSO AVENTURAS, Excursiones en Quad, at Camí de la Riera de, 08398 Santa Susanna, Barcelona, Spain.

The operating hours are listed as 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday, for the stated operating period. Since exact departure slots are not explained here, follow the time on your confirmation and allow enough time to find the office.

Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. Most people can participate, but you should still consider your own comfort with operating a motor vehicle before booking.

Weather, cancellations, and timing

The ride requires good weather. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the experience start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted and are not refunded.

This policy makes it sensible to avoid placing the quad ride on the final few hours of your holiday. If the weather turns bad, you will have more options when another day remains available.

The one-hour duration also gives you some planning freedom. You could place it between other activities, but remember to include time for arrival, licensing, the contract, the card hold, instructions, and the return inspection.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this to a couple or small private group that wants a motor activity with a local route rather than a standard sightseeing transfer. It is especially practical for people staying around Santa Susanna, Calella, Pineda de Mar, Malgrat de Mar, or nearby coastal towns.

It suits you if you have a current car license, are comfortable presenting a card for the temporary bond, and want to try a modern quad for about an hour. The private format is also useful if you prefer a quieter outing with your own party.

It is less suitable if you do not drive, do not have the required license, or want a long day in the countryside. The route names are broad, and the available information does not promise long stops, detailed commentary, or a set of guided visits in each town.

I would also think twice if you need a very fixed schedule. The activity depends on good weather, and the vehicle check at the end takes place before the bond is released.

Should you book the Premium Quad Tour?

Book it if the idea of driving a new Yamaha Kodiak through routes linking Catalonia’s coastal towns with Montnegre and Montseny appeals to you. The strongest reasons are the private format, the modern quads, the short one-hour commitment, and the clear, patient instruction reported by past participants.

Before you pay, make sure the cost is understood as one quad for up to two people, not two separate driving places. Have your license and card ready, and leave room in your plans for weather changes.

For a licensed couple seeking a focused outdoor activity, this is a good-value choice. For anyone wanting a full-day nature excursion or detailed town sightseeing, choose something longer and more specialized.
