Discover the Magic of Mijas at Sunset on a Quad Bike Tour
Getting a different view of the Costa del Sol is always a good idea, and this Sunset 1-Hour Quad Tour with Atv Adventures Costa del Sol offers just that—an exciting way to see Mijas and its beautiful surroundings from the saddle of a modern quad bike. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with a friend, this tour promises a memorable sunset adventure with some impressive scenery along the way.
What we really like about this experience is its blend of adventure and relaxation—driving through winding roads and paths among lush vegetation, then pausing to take in panoramic views at the perfect golden hour. Plus, the fact that it’s timed for the hottest part of the day makes it more comfortable and enjoyable, especially if you’re not a fan of the midday sun.
On the flip side, a potential consideration is that this tour is quite short—just one hour—which may not satisfy those looking for a longer, more in-depth ride. Also, since it’s a group of up to two people per quad, it might feel a bit limited if you’re traveling with a larger group. Still, for a quick, scenic escape, it hits the right notes.
This experience is best suited for adventure seekers, sunset lovers, or anyone wanting to add a fun twist to their trip to Mijas. It’s a great way to enjoy the local scenery without too much commitment or time investment, and it’s accessible for most travelers with a valid driver’s license.

What to Expect from the Sunset Quad Tour

This one-hour tour offers a well-rounded experience that balances scenic sightseeing with the thrill of driving a quad. Once you arrive, you’ll be briefed on safety and given a modern, last-generation quad, ready for an adventure. The route takes you up winding roads to reach the charming town of Mijas, famous for its narrow streets and stunning viewpoints.
We loved the way the tour blends the physical activity of riding with the opportunity to see Mijas from above, especially as the sun begins to set. The panoramic views from the balconies and viewpoints are truly impressive, and the timing of the tour ensures you’ll catch the sunset in its full glory. As you navigate among vegetation and along paths, you’ll get a taste of off-road riding that’s both fun and manageable for most skill levels.
The highlight is definitely the sunset itself. As the sun dips behind the mountains, the sky lights up in shades of orange and pink, casting a warm glow over the landscape. This is when you’ll want to pause and soak it all in, perhaps even snapping some photos. The tour’s timing makes it a fantastic way to avoid the heat, especially if you’re exploring Mijas during the warmer months.
You’ll appreciate that the tour is conducted with safety in mind, with helmets provided and a guide leading the way, speaking both English and Spanish. Since it’s a relatively short ride, it’s perfect for those who want a quick dose of adventure without a long commitment. The inclusion of water helps keep you refreshed, especially if the weather is warm.

The Itinerary Breakdown

The tour starts at the shop, where you’ll meet your guide and get a quick safety briefing. After that, it’s a short ride to the starting point where your quad awaits. The routes are designed to be accessible, with winding roads leading up into the hills. As you ascend, views of Mijas and the surrounding mountains become more spectacular with each turn.
The road to Mijas is a highlight—driving through its narrow, cobbled streets (though the tour itself stays outside the town centers) gives you a taste of local life and architecture. Your guide will likely point out interesting sights along the way, although the main focus remains on enjoying the ride and the view.
Once you reach the vantage points, you’ll have some time to stretch your legs, take photos, and simply marvel at the sunset. The descent back to the starting point is equally scenic, as the fading light creates a beautiful atmosphere for the return trip.
The Riding Experience

We found the quad bikes to be easy to handle, even for beginners or those with limited experience. The bikes are newer models, which provides confidence and comfort. The path is a mix of dirt tracks and paved roads, but nothing too challenging—more about enjoying the ride than testing your skills.
The guide’s English and Spanish instructions ensure everyone stays safe, and the group size keeps the experience intimate. You’ll be riding with one other person per quad, which means more space to relax and enjoy the scenery.
The water included is a thoughtful touch, helping you stay hydrated, especially during warmer days. Helmets are standard safety gear, and the overall safety measures are thorough enough that even nervous first-timers can feel comfortable.
Price and Value
At $91 per group for up to two people, this tour is a reasonable price considering the limited duration and the scenic payoff. The experience offers a perfect snapshot of Sierra de Mijas at sunset, which is a special moment most visitors don’t get to experience often. The inclusion of a guide, water, and helmets adds to the overall value, making it a manageable option for most budgets.
It’s worth noting that this is a short, focused experience rather than a lengthy tour, so if you’re craving more off-road riding or a longer adventure, you might want to consider other options. But for a quick sunset excursion, it provides good bang for your buck.
