5.00We had an amazing quad tour from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, and we got to see so many beautiful places and stunning views along the way. A special thank you to Kostas, who was friendly, professional, and always made sure everyone was having a great time and felt comfortable. You could really tell that he put a lot of effort into making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The tour was a perfect mix of adventure, sightseeing, and fun. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Crete. Thank you for a fantastic day!
An absolutely incredible experience with Adventure Beyond the Beach!

5.00We took the quad tour in the afternoon, and it was simply magical. The course is really varied, a bit 'radical' as we like, with breathtaking landscapes throughout the journey. A huge thank you to our instructor who was top-notch: professional, reassuring, and super nice from start to finish. You feel safe while fully enjoying the adventure. The value for money is excellent for such a complete and memorable experience. This is clearly one of the best moments of my stay! I recommend it 100% without hesitation 👌
An unforgettable experience

5.00This was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Our guide reassured us and taught us how to use the quads quickly and easily though it was our first time. The actual journey itself was breathtaking. We first went to the cave of St. John the Hernit and learned a ton of history from the region. Journeying along the roads were not busy and allowed us freedom to ride. The sights were beautiful and our guide gave context to everything we saw. The beach at the sanctuary of Diktina was amazing and a wonderful stop to refresh. The way back to Kolymvari was so beautiful m. It reminded me of Highway 1 in California except more beautiful and on quads. We really got to go fast which was fun. This was an amazing experience. Don’t forget a coat if you get chilly and sunscreen!!
Brilliant quad biking tour

5.00Such a beautiful way to see this side of Crete. Fantastic tour guide with a friendly and safe approach to quad biking for the first time! Stopping in the most beautiful spots with refreshments and stories of history. Thank you for a brilliant time!

5.00I did this tour with my partner and we shared one quad bike between us. There was plenty of opportunity to swap the rider. The groups are very small 3-4 quads in total so it is very intimate. The tour itself was amazing, it is the perfect way to see the true beauty of Crete! We stopped at a hidden beach for swim that is only accessible via a dirt track. The instructor lets you go at your as fast or as slow as you want and we would do it again 100%!
Unforgettable experience!

5.00I had an amazing experience with this company. As a person who had never driven a quad before I highly recommend. Kostas, our guide was very friendly, professional and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The pace of our trip was adjusted to our group. Views were breathtaking. Everything was explained clearly and the equipment was in very good condition. Kostas provided us with cold refreshments.

5.00Really great tour! We were a small group (4 people, 3 quads plus our guide Kostas). We chose the day tour (from Kolymbari to the hidden beach). The quads were very good, the guide excellent and very friendly, the trip a nice combination of small roads and dirt roads going up and down the peninsula and national park, with interesting stops and a quick swim in the hidden beach. Kostas was quite knowledgeable on the sites and history we met, thought of everything (masks for the dirt roads, water and even a very welcome surprise at the end of the trip..) My husband and I absolutely recommend this trip!! Thank you Kostas!!!
Amazing!
