Discovery Safari runs one 4-hour quad or buggy safari from Rethymno, rated 5/5 across 33 reviews at 100 € per person. The "Everybody welcome" physical level means no prior off-road experience is required. Pick a quad if you want solo control of the machine, or a buggy if you're riding with a passenger. Book directly through Discovery Safari and confirm your preferred vehicle type at the time of reservation.
No. The tour is rated "Everybody welcome," so first-timers and experienced riders both get on track without prior quad or buggy experience.
Navigating rough Cretan terrain on a quad solo puts you in full control of every bump, slope and turn. That's where the adrenaline peaks.
The safari runs for 4 hours. That includes briefing, the trail itself and the return to the meeting point.
The guide operates in English, French, German and Greek.

Equipment
Wear closed-toe shoes and lightweight clothes you don't mind getting dusty. Sunglasses and sunscreen are essential on Crete's exposed trails, and a small backpack for water works well over a 4-hour ride.
