Both tours rate 5/5 across 24 reviews, so the choice comes down to format and terrain. At 160 €, Bourbon Excursions delivers a 2.5h quad rental from the Carrefour Grand Large car park in Saint-Pierre, a straightforward session ideal for getting your first taste of off-road riding on Réunion Island. At 300 €, Crazy Adventures Réunion takes you deep into the Mont Vert forest on a buggy for 3h to a full day, covering dense volcanic terrain that the shorter rental simply can't match. The 140 € price gap buys you a guided forest excursion with significantly more mileage and immersion. Pick the rental if you want freedom and a quick rush. Book the buggy if you want the raw landscape of Mont Vert as your backdrop.
