A great experience! - Great experience! We chose the 3-hour route, ideal for enjoying the varied landscapes of the region. Between the passages in the dunes and the long stretches on the beach, the circuit is perfectly balanced. An activity that is both exotic and dynamic, which offers super sensations while allowing you to discover Essaouira differently. Little more appreciated: the photos taken by the guide throughout the 3 hours and sent at the end, a great idea to keep beautiful memories of the experience.

An excellent morning spent zooming through the beaches and dunes south of Essouira - An excellent morning spent zooming through the beaches and dunes south of Essouira. Our guide was superb, knew the dunes like the back of his hand. Felt safe the whole time and 12 yr old son found it brilliant also - started slow and built up. Amazing views of the coast and then back towards the Medina. Great value and would recommend to anyone.

Very good service and vechiles which we got on a stunning ride through the desert - We arrived and they greeted us and welcomed us and got us kitted out with all the gear to go on the quad bikes. Our guide Karim was very kind and helped us when we got sticker along the way. He took us to some stunning places in the desert and forest. The quad bikes were very good and went fast. They even provided quad bikes for kids 12 min age which was slightly slower than the adults but less risk of an accident. At the end of our ride, the provider Aymen even showed the photos on a screen of our trip that was took on the way. They also had a big sofa to chill on after that long tiring ride Overall great experience and would recommend it

Friendly, safe and very enjoyable - From the moment we walked into Parma Quad on the beach front, we experienced a friendly and professional crew who explained the tour choices on offer and booked us in for our quad tour the next morning. Safety is very much a feature and we were provided with gloves, a helmet and jacket and shown the quad controls and best way to ride before being led by Karim to our bikes waiting for us on the beach opposite. Karim eased us novices along to allow us to get used to the bikes then after around 30 minutes he adjusted throttle settings to give us more power... happy that we were comfortable riding quads among the dunes. From then on it was a fun ride through the forest and along the shore and among the dunes, even taking what seemed vertical descents in our stride. Parm Quad also provided chocolate bars and water at a couple of breaks. Karim ensured we were always comfortable at whatever pace we went at, and by the time we were racing along the beach to our finish, we were experienced quad bikers! A great time, well looked after by a very good Parma Quad team whom we highly recommend.

Simply Spectacular! Professional, Super Fun and Phenomenal Guide. Experience Of A Lifetime - Phenomenal experience and a first class operation with superb equipment, safety and guides. The terrain is varied and beautiful, from spectacular dunes as you would find in the Sahara, the surf of the ocean and forest as well). We had a private guide for two of us, the ride was tailored to our speed preference (you can choose leisurely all the way to expert). I cannot thank Palma enough, just wow.
