“Great day out on the buggies, it absolutely poured with rain which made it muddier so added a lot more fun to the experience. Had a lot of laughs. You could get on a quad bike or a dune buggy , we chose a buggy which is great fun, couple of the quads broke down. The only downside was they were very late in picking us up ,1 hour and 15 minutes late. I did manage to get hold of them and they reassured us they were on the way but just wished they’d messaged me first so I wasn’t waiting around for them. Overall a good day out”

“Very disappointing – not recommended Uncomfortable and unsafe transport (safari truck without air conditioning). Upon arrival, you’re pressured into buying overpriced accessories. Then, over an hour of waiting in 34°C heat due to poor organization. The buggy was in bad condition and hard to drive. The route was interrupted by several commercial stops. The sites visited were either overcrowded or not worth it (a dirty beach, a packed cave). Too many people, too many forced sales, and not enough real experience. I do not recommend this activity.”

“The riding experience was really good but i absolutely hated the upselling part. So many leeches begging and tour guide takes you to all these shops and they almost force you to buy stuff you don’t need. The worse part was the beach, as soon as we got to the entrance, the guide handed us over to these aggressive waiters who took us to a table and gave us an expensive menu which I politely declined. On the way back they took us to another place where they forced us to buy stuff. During the tour , the guide was constantly reminding us to tip him at the end which…”

“Em primeiro lugar somos obrigados a deixar o telemóvel fora da experiência num cacifo por questões de segurança, quando o passageiro pode muito bem levar o tele na sua mão. Não se preocupam eles com a segurança dos buggy, o volante tinha muita folga na direção, o cinto de segurança não apertava, a distância entre assento e volante era gigante e não temos possibilidade de qualquer ajuste, os pedais são feitos a mão e sem qualquer tipo de segurança também, o travão do buggy era péssimo, ou seja eles dão nos para a mão um buggy da idade da pedra mas dizem que é para vossa segurança deixar o telemóvel…”
