THE VEHICLES
Buggy or quad?
Both come with a guide. Here is how they differ.
012 OR 4 SEATS
Buggy
A buggy drives like a small off-road car: a steering wheel, two pedals and a roll cage over your head. You sit side by side, so you share the ride and the views. The easiest choice for couples, families and first-timers.
2-seat buggy from 600 DH
4-seat buggy from 900 DH
02HANDLEBARS
Quad
A quad is a four-wheeled motorbike. You steer with the handlebars, work the throttle with your thumb and lean into the bends. It feels faster and more physical than a buggy, and it is the classic way to ride the Agafay hills.
Quad from 200 DH
03WITH A GUIDE
The ride
After a short safety talk, your guide rides in front and leads you along the dirt tracks and over the hills, with stops for photos. You drive behind at a pace you are comfortable with. The longer the ride, the more of the hills you see, with the Atlas mountains on the horizon.
04BEST TIME
Ride at golden hour
The hour before sunset is the most beautiful time to ride: the light turns gold and the hills glow orange. In summer, avoid the middle of the day.

QUESTIONS
Buggy and quad questions
How much does a buggy cost in Marrakech?
With us, a 2-seat buggy costs 600 DH for 30 minutes, 1,000 DH for 1 hour and 1,600 DH for 2 hours. A 4-seat buggy costs 900 DH, 1,600 DH and 2,300 DH. Prices are per vehicle, with free pickup from our meeting points in Marrakech.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. A 4-seat buggy costs the same with one person or four.
Do I need experience or a licence?
No. You get a safety talk before you set off and your guide sets the pace. You do not need a driving licence: adults drive and children ride as passengers.
Buggy or quad: which should I choose?
Pick a buggy if you ride as a couple or a family, want to sit together or have never driven one before: it drives like a small car. Pick a quad for the classic, more physical ride on handlebars.
Can children come?
Yes, as passengers. A 4-seat buggy is the easiest way to ride with kids. Tell us their ages when you book.
Is pickup from Marrakech included?
Yes. It is free from our 9 meeting points in Marrakech. Hotel or riad pickup costs a small extra.
