Quad Safari
From start to finish it was such a great day and experience. Fantastic sights, excellent tour guides who were so informative and to end the day, some lovely food! Definitely recommend!
via Tripadvisor
Great Value. Don’t worry if you’re inexperienced on a quad!
Great value for money. Very safe and guided tour to various sites. If you’re inexperienced on a quad, don’t be! They will guide you and you’ll be with many other riders in a convoy.

Fabulous. Very informative and enjoyable. The guide was really good and made us all laugh. It was a great day.

Terrible experience with guide
We booked this quad tour as part of our honeymoon and were genuinely excited for it — instead it turned into one of the most disappointing parts of our trip. After signing the waiver, showing of licenses and confirming we understood the risks, the guide decided I wasn't "safe" to drive, citing my hand movement as the only reason. I've ridden quad bikes several times before without any issue, and I even offered to let my wife be the main driver instead. He refused that too, with no real explanation, while every other guest on the tour — none of whom were Black — was allowed to ride without question. As the only Black couple in the group, we couldn't help but wonder whether that had something to do with how we were singled out, especially with no clear or consistent justification ever given. Even if we are not safe, we signed a risk waiver absorbing them from any responsibility of injuries and for us to pay for any damages. We paid in full, prepared properly, and still had our honeymoon activity ruined with zero accountability. When we asked for a refund, we were offered only 50% back, with no real justification beyond "safety reasons" and "trust in the partner's judgement." This also contradicts their own policy which I highlighted to them. If you're booking here, be aware that a guide's subjective, unexplained call can end your experience on the spot with no fair resolution afterward. Very disappointed, and would not recommend based on how this was handled.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. Safety is always our absolute priority. Signing a waiver does not oblige us to allow someone to drive if our trained guide considers it unsafe. A quad safari involves real off-road conditions and cannot be treated like ordinary road driving. The decision was based solely on safety, never on race or any personal characteristic. You completed the tour, enjoyed the food and activities; only driving was restricted. We cannot compromise safety simply to satisfy a customer.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.
How much does Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $71 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Heraklion is not rushed.
Is Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers 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 590 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Heraklion, 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 Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers?
+
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 Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers?
+
Around 207 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 Heraklion 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 Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers 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 Heraklion 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 Heraklion?
+
On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Private Tour-Knossos Palace Zeus Cave Pottery Olive Mill & Wine. 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 Heraklion?
+
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 Heraklion?
+
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.

+

Does Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 200 listed pickup locations in and around Heraklion. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
