Frequently asked questions
Do I need quad biking experience to join these tours?
No prior experience required. All three tours are open to everybody, and guides brief you on controls before you hit the trail.
What is the most intense moment on these tours?
Expect the biggest rush on the open dirt tracks through the Lika hills, where you accelerate on wider stretches away from tourist areas. The 3.5h buggy tour from Grabovac delivers more of these moments due to its extended duration.
What is the difference between a quad and a buggy?
A quad is a solo four-wheel off-road bike you steer yourself. A buggy is a side-by-side vehicle with two seats and a roll cage, which makes it a better pick for pairs or anyone wanting a more stable ride.
Are these tours inside Plitvice Lakes National Park?
The tours operate in the wider Plitvice Lakes region. The Rastoke Active session departs from Slunj, and the Inspiration Resort tours depart from Grabovac, both close to the park boundaries rather than inside the protected lake area.
How far in advance should I book?
Both operators have limited vehicles, so book at least a few days ahead in peak summer months to lock in your slot.

Practical info
Equipment
Both tours welcome all fitness levels, so no special gear is required, but closed-toe shoes are essential since you are operating a motorized vehicle on uneven terrain. Bring a light layer for wind chill, sunglasses and a buff or neck gaiter to keep trail dust out during the longer 3.5h buggy session.
Getting there
The Rastoke Active meeting point is at Donji Nikšić 101, Slunj, roughly 20 km north of Plitvice Lakes National Park on the D1 highway, while the Inspiration Resort departs from Grabovac 101, directly alongside the same road heading south toward the park entrance.
