Great experience
Beautiful views along the way. Some of the mountain paths were along roads without guard rails which was a little scarry for beginners.
via Tripadvisor
Fantastic trip!
Absolute incredible trip! Had so much fun, felt safe and had a great guide. The views were phenomenal and we had such a brilliant time!
via Tripadvisor
Incredible tour....
Incredible tour. Personalized and very very well done. The weather happened to be rainy most of the trip, and although I feel we made the most of it, this tour still tops the list. Such a well organized day that truly opened our eyes to the history and influence of Greek culture back home. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about Crete, and have curated wine and olive oil tours that make you feel the most welcome!

Would recommend!
Very good experience and great value for money! The safari lasted around 3 hours, including stops and each stop was beautiful! I’m quite a nervous driver so very glad we opted for one quad bike for two people. The tour guides were great and checked-in with the group often!

Why this scores 94
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.
Is Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 528 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari?
+
Around 185 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chania?
+
On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cretan Safari – 4x4 Adventure to Preveli Beach with Lunch, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Wine & Olive Oil Tour with Lunch at Milia Mountain Retreat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; and Souvenir photos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari include hotel pickup?

What languages is Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari offered in?
+
