How much does the quad tour cost?

€45 per person if you share a quad with someone else (two per bike), or €65 per person if you ride solo (one person per bike).

Do I need a driving license to ride the quad at Bovilla?

Only if you're the one steering. If you ride as a passenger (the €45 shared-quad option, two per bike), no license is required. Riding solo (€65, one per bike) means you're the operator, so you'll need a valid driving license.

Do I need prior ATV experience?

No, our guides provide a safety briefing and hands-on training before the ride. This tour is suitable for complete beginners.

What time does the tour start?

There are three departures a day: 9:00, 13:00 and 16:30. Hotel pickup is not available for this tour, you make your own way to our base camp on the road to Bovilla Lake and we confirm the exact meeting point when you book.

What happens if it rains?

Light rain is fine. If a thunderstorm is forecast we reschedule to the next dry day or refund in full.

Do I pay now, and what if I need to cancel?

You pay nothing to send a request. Once we confirm your date, a 30% deposit by bank transfer or card link holds your seat, and you pay the rest to your guide on the day. Cancel more than 7 days ahead for a full refund, or 3–7 days ahead for 50% back. Inside 48 hours it isn’t refundable, but we can usually move you to another date. If we cancel for weather, you get a new date or a full refund.

★★★★★ Quad tour

A great time on this quad tour — everything is well organized and you feel safe, and let's not forget the amazing view over Lake Bovilla. In short: highly recommended, no hesitation.

★★★★★ Quad tour

One of the best things we did in Tirana — 100% worth the money if you're a bit of a petrol head and a nature lover. Sorry for the power slides, lads, it wasn't me, ha ha. — Chris & Ellie, Ireland.

i. About this experience

This is the quad and ATV ride people mean when they search for quad biking near Tirana. Our journey kicks off at our base camp, nestled in a charming village on the road that climbs from Tirana up to Lake Bovilla.

Following a quick safety induction, you'll gear up, jump onto your ATV, and embark on an exciting 40-minute off-road trek along spectacular mountain tracks. We'll pause at Lake Bovilla to snap some beautiful photos and admire the stunning panoramas.

Next, we take a 10-minute ride uphill to reach the main mountain restaurant and panoramic overlook. Here, you will have a full hour of leisure time to explore the surroundings at your own pace:

• Unwind at the restaurant and enjoy local drinks or snacks

• Take a brief 10-minute hike up to the observation deck for spectacular, sweeping views of the lake

• Wander through the nearby natural park and breathe in the crisp mountain air

Once the group is ready, we'll begin the 45-minute return trip along the same scenic trail, stopping for extra photos and videos to capture the memories of your adventure.

Quads are shared two per bike at €45 per person, or ridden solo (one person per bike) for €65 per person.

Before you book: read our honest take on whether Lake Bovilla is worth visiting, check the getting there guide, and skim our practical tips. And if you'd rather hike than ride, see the Mount Gamti trail guide.
