About this experience
Get ready for a thrilling short adventure combining excitement and history in just 1.5 hours. After a full safety briefing, you’ll jump into a rugged buggy and explore scenic off-road trails winding through the Algarve countryside.
Your ride includes a visit to the historic Castle of Paderne, a 12th-century Moorish fortress perched above the valley — a dramatic spot for photos and a taste of local history. Then enjoy a scenic drive back through beautiful rural landscapes to the base.
Perfect for those short on time but big on experience: a quick, fun, and unforgettable taste of Algarve’s outdoors.
Important: Each vehicle must have at least one adult with a B driver’s license and a €150 refundable deposit.
