How the Tour Unfolds

Once we book the tour, you’ll be picked up from your Krakow hotel, making it a smooth start. The driver, who speaks English, will take you out to the countryside, where the adventure begins with a safety briefing. Our guide, perhaps named Lukasz or Anna, explained how to operate the quad safely, which was reassuring even for newcomers.

The core of the experience involves riding in the forest and open fields, with the option to select either a 30-minute or 60-minute track. We opted for the longer session, and it was well worth it. The tracks are designed to be both fun and challenging, featuring mud puddles, uneven terrain, and gentle slopes to test your skills. You’ll learn basic or advanced riding techniques depending on your choice, with instructors offering tips along the way.

The Scenic Landscape

This region of Lesser Poland doesn’t just offer thrills; it also presents gorgeous views that are easy to miss from a car.

The Muddy Challenge and Riding Experience

If you’re worried about getting dirty, don’t be. We loved how the quad splashes mud and dirt with every turn — you’ll want to wear clothes that can handle a bit of a wash. The instructor showed us how to control the quad on tricky terrain, which added a sense of achievement when we successfully navigated a muddy patch or a slope. One participant remarked, “It was an exhilarating challenge — I loved how muddy I got, and it felt totally worth it.”
