The Experience in Detail: What You Can Expect

When you sign up for this tour, you’ll first meet your guide—whether at Cami Plá del Cuartel, or one of the other convenient starting points. The guide will give a thorough safety briefing and training. This ensures that even beginners can feel comfortable behind the quad’s handlebars. Helmets are provided, and you’ll get a chance to familiarize yourself with your vehicle before hitting the off-road trails.

The route takes you through a mix of dirt tracks, jungle paths, and riverbeds, giving you a taste of Spain’s less-traveled landscapes. We loved the way the guide explained the terrain, making it easier to appreciate the natural environment rather than just seeing it pass by. The off-road driving is the core of the adventure, and you’ll be navigating bumpy tracks, some quite steep, with the river bed experience adding to the thrill.

The Algar Waterfalls: A Natural Marvel

One of the most cherished parts of this tour is the stop at the Algar Waterfalls. The guide will lead a guided visit, providing insights into the area’s geology and flora. You’ll have the chance to get close to the falls, snap some photos, and enjoy a snack (if you opt for the included stop). Several reviews highlight how spectacular and beautiful the waterfalls are, with some describing it as a highlight of their holiday.

It’s worth noting that the Waterfalls Tour includes a stop for a snack, but the Jungle tour does not have this break, which might matter if you’re particularly hungry or seeking a more relaxed experience. Still, the swift pace keeps the adrenaline flowing and the scenery constantly changing, which many travelers find invigorating.

The Return Journey: Scenic and Unpaved

As you head back to Altea, the route mostly follows unpaved roads, adding to the feeling of adventure and connection with nature. The final stretch along the beach promenade offers a more relaxed, scenic view as you return to your starting point, often feeling exhilarated and a bit dusty.

The Itinerary Breakdown

• Starting point: Flexible locations, typically Cami Plá del Cuartel or similar, with options to suit your schedule.
