Thinking about exploring Croatia’s beautiful island of Ciovo in an active way? The Off-road Quad Adventure Tour from Trogir might just be what you’re looking for. This guided small-group experience promises a mix of scenic views, off-the-beaten-path landmarks, and the chance to get a bit dusty— all on a trusty quad bike. Designed mainly for those craving a little adventure, it’s an accessible way to see parts of the island most visitors miss.
What we love about this tour is its focus on scenic vistas and local landmarks combined with knowledgeable guides who really keep things engaging. Plus, the inclusion of safety gear and training makes it feel approachable, even if you’re new to off-road riding. On the flip side, the activity is mostly about getting muddy and dusty, so don’t expect a pristine experience— think more “adventure” than “luxury.” It’s a tour that suits those who enjoy outdoor fun, aren’t afraid to get a little dirty, and want a memorable way to see the island beyond typical tourist paths.
If you’re considering this adventure, keep in mind that hotel pickup isn’t included, so you’ll need to get yourself to the meeting point. Also, while it’s very family-friendly for those over 13, younger kids will need to ride with an adult on a separate quad. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for a fun, scenic, and safe outdoor activity that adds a bit of adrenaline to a Croatia trip.
