Imagine tearing through rugged terrain, splashing through waterfalls, and soaking in panoramic views—without the hassle of planning all the details yourself. For anyone visiting Benidorm who craves an adrenaline-fueled day with a touch of local flavor, the Quad Tours with Quad Adventure Benidorm offers just that. With prices around $83 per person for tours lasting between 1 and 4 hours, this experience is designed to fit various interests and schedules.
What we love most about this tour is how well-managed and flexible it is. First, their local guides—like Frank, Fritz, and Lorena—bring a wealth of knowledge about the area, making every stop feel meaningful. Plus, the opportunity to see stunning waterfalls like Fonts de l’Algar or explore the charming Castel de Guadalest is hard to beat for those looking beyond typical sightseeing.
One consideration? The requirement for a valid driving license and the age restrictions mean this isn’t for everyone—drivers need at least two years of experience with a Class B license and be over 18 (or 25 for A licenses). Also, participation depends on good weather, and the cost of entrance fees like those for the waterfalls aren’t included, something to keep in mind for your budget.
This tour suits adventure seekers, group travelers, and anyone eager to experience nature, local sights, and off-road thrills all in one go. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, looking for a fun day out, or just want to see a different side of Benidorm, this quad experience offers excellent value and authentic fun.
