ATV/Quad Bike Tour

Compare Mallorca's best ATV, quad, and buggy tours side by side: guided rides to coves, caves, and mountain viewpoints, with real prices, durations, meeting points, and the licence rules.

What You Should Know

  • Most Mallorca ATV and buggy tours are guided rides of about 2 to 3 hours, around €52 to €95 per person, on automatic quads or two and four-seat buggies, with stops to swim or snorkel at a cove and take in a mountain or coastal viewpoint.
  • The tours run from two main areas: the south and southwest around Palma, Magaluf, and Llucmajor, and the north around Port d'Alcúdia and the Formentor peninsula. Pick the launch point nearest where you stay.
  • To drive, you need a full car (B) driving licence carried as the original card; minimum driver ages run from 18 to 21 depending on the tour. On the buggy tours, anyone without a licence can ride along as a passenger, and there is a separate kids buggy track for ages 8 to 14.
  • The biggest choice is quad versus buggy: quads are single or double and you drive solo, while buggies seat two or four and let a non-driver come along, which makes the buggy tours the easier pick for couples, families, and anyone without a licence.

ATV and Quad Tours in Mallorca

Looking for the best ATV tour in Mallorca? Quad and buggy tours are one of the most popular ways to get off the beach and into the island's backcountry, swapping the resort strip for dirt trails, mountain viewpoints, and hidden coves. An ATV tour in Mallorca is a guided ride, usually 2 to 3 hours, on an automatic quad or a two or four-seat buggy, following a lead guide along country roads and off-road tracks with stops to swim, snorkel, or take in the views. This guide compares the 7 most popular ATV, quad, and buggy tours in Mallorca side by side on price, reviews, duration, meeting point, and what you need to drive, so you can match the right ride to where you are staying.

The tours launch from a couple of main areas: the south and southwest around Palma, Magaluf, and Llucmajor, and the north around Port d'Alcúdia near the Formentor peninsula. From what we've seen in reviews, the two big choices are quad versus buggy and whether you have a driving licence, since you need a full car licence to drive but can ride along as a passenger in a buggy. To plan the rest of your trip, browse our Mallorca travel guides, and for a day on the water, compare a Mallorca catamaran cruise, a sea-cave kayak tour, a wine tour, or an early dolphin watching trip.

What to Expect on a Mallorca ATV Tour

Whether you drive a quad or share a buggy, a Mallorca ATV tour follows a simple, beginner-friendly shape. Here is how it usually goes.

  1. 01At the start

    Check-in and licence check

    You meet at the operator's base, where the team checks the drivers' licences. Bring the original physical card; photos and copies are not accepted, and an unlicensed driver cannot drive.

  2. 02Briefing

    Safety briefing and gear

    After a short briefing on the automatic controls, you are fitted with a helmet and matched to your quad or buggy. The vehicles have no gears, so the learning curve is minutes, not hours.

  3. 03On the trail

    The guided ride

    You set off in a convoy behind the guide, along country roads and off-road tracks. The pace is steady and beginner-friendly, with the guide setting the speed and the route. Most people don't realize much of the route is on paved country roads, with only short off-road and gravel sections, so it is more a scenic ride than a hardcore off-road bash.

  4. 04Stop

    Viewpoint and swim

    The tours pause at a mountain or coastal viewpoint and, on most, a cove or bay to swim and snorkel. This is the highlight and the best photo stop.

  5. 05Back

    Return to base

    You ride back to the meeting point, typically 2 to 3 hours after starting, about 2.5 for the mountain tour and 1 to 2 for the short coastal buggy run.

Our experience (bring the original licence): The single most common booking problem is the driving licence. You must show the original physical card or an official digital licence to drive; photos, photocopies, and provisional licences are turned away, usually with no refund. If you are not licensed, book a buggy tour and ride as a passenger.

Our experience (they are genuinely easy to drive): The quads and buggies are automatic, with no gears or clutch, so even first-timers are comfortable within a few minutes of the briefing. Wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dusty, and bring sunglasses for the open cockpit.

Best ATV, Quad and Buggy Tours in Mallorca

1

Mallorca ATV / Quad Bike Tour

Our top pick and by far the most booked, with more than 2,800 reviews at €65. This 2 to 3-hour guided quad tour runs on brand-new automatic MXU 300 quads and loops through six districts around Palma, climbing the Randa mountain for panoramic views and, in summer, stopping to snorkel, swim, and cliff jump in the sea. You drive solo on a single quad or share a double, and you need a full car licence and to be at least 18. For the classic Mallorca quad experience with the most reviews behind it, this is the one we'd book first.

2

Buggy Tour Adventure with Cove Swimming

The best value and the easiest pick if not everyone has a licence, at €52. This 1 to 2-hour buggy tour from the Palma coast drives the rural Llucmajor coastline to a cove at Bella Vista, with a 30-minute stop to swim and sunbathe. The two-seat buggies let you change drivers along the way, or ride as a passenger if you are not licensed, and the group is capped at eight for a more personal trip. A short, affordable adventure with a beach built in.

3

Magaluf Mountain ATV Sightseeing Tour

A 2.5-hour mountain ATV tour from Magaluf at €88, on automatic LINHAI M 210 quads along a more challenging route of turquoise coves, sea caves, cliffs, and Mallorcan countryside, with a refreshing swim at each stop. You drive a single-seater or a double quad, and a full B licence is required to drive (no provisional licences). Best if you are based around Magaluf, Palmanova, or Santa Ponsa and want more trail and scenery than a short coastal run.

4

Alcudia: Scenic Quad Tour to Formentor Viewpoint

The most scenic tour and the best from the north at €95, a 3-hour guided quad ride from Port d'Alcúdia up to the Es Colomer viewpoint on the Formentor peninsula. You ride a single or double quad past the Alcúdia old town walls and the Es Barcares coast, with plenty of time at the panoramic walkway over the Mediterranean. Drivers must be 21 or over and hold a B licence, and passengers from age 7 can come along. Best for the views if you are staying in the north.

5

Off/On Road Buggy to Llucmajor & Randa

The most flexible buggy tour for a group, at €240 for a buggy of up to two people (four-seaters available). This 3-hour on and off-road trip from the Palma area heads inland through Llucmajor and toward Randa, away from the crowds, with a stop near the end for toilets and a coffee or ice cream. You need an original B licence to drive. Priced per buggy rather than per person, it works out better for two, or for a family in a four-seater, than for a solo rider.

6

On Road Buggy + Panorama + Snorkeling

A 3-hour on-road buggy tour at €180 per buggy of up to two, starting in Son Oms near Palma. You cruise scenic coastal and mountain roads with panoramic viewpoints down to the bay of Badia Blava, where you stop to snorkel or relax by the water, with snorkel gear included. A B licence is needed to drive. A good middle option if you want the buggy format and a snorkeling stop without going fully off-road.

7

Mallorca Kids Buggy (Track)

Not a road tour but the family option, at €50. The kids buggy lets children aged 8 to 14 (and at least 120cm tall) drive a small 200cc automatic buggy on a purpose-built track after a short safety briefing, with an adult alongside for the first laps before they go solo. It is supervised throughout and runs about 20 minutes. The easiest way to let younger kids have their own go behind the wheel while the adults watch.

Best Quad Tours in Mallorca

If you specifically want a quad tour in Mallorca, the quads (also called ATVs or quad bikes) are single or double machines that you drive yourself, so every driver needs a full car licence. They suit confident drivers and anyone who wants to handle their own vehicle. Three of the tours here are quad rides, and these are the best quad tours in Mallorca.

  • Mallorca ATV/Quad Bike Tour (€65, 4.8): The most-booked quad bike tour on the island by a wide margin, a 2 to 3-hour ride on automatic MXU 300 quads around Palma and the Randa mountain, with summer snorkel, swim, and cliff-jump stops. Our overall pick for a quad tour Mallorca trip.
  • Magaluf Mountain ATV Tour (€88, 4.6): A 2.5-hour ATV ride from Magaluf on a more challenging mountain route of coves, sea caves, and cliffs, with a swim at each stop. Best if you want more trail and are based in the southwest.
  • Alcudia Scenic Quad Tour to Formentor (€95, 4.8): The most scenic quad tour, a 3-hour ride from Port d'Alcúdia up to the Es Colomer viewpoint over the Formentor peninsula. The pick if you are staying in the north and want the views.

All three are automatic and beginner-friendly, and every driver needs an original car licence; passengers can come on a double quad (from age 7 on the Alcúdia tour). For the classic quad bike Mallorca experience, we'd start with the most-booked tour and choose the Magaluf or Alcúdia ride if you want a specific region or more dramatic scenery.

Best Buggy Tours in Mallorca

A buggy tour in Mallorca is the easier choice if not everyone in your group has a driving licence, since the two and four-seat buggies let a passenger ride along. The driver still needs a full car licence, but a partner, friend, or child can come for the ride. Four of the tours here use buggies, and these are the best buggy tours in Mallorca.

  • Buggy Tour Adventure with Cove Swimming (€52, 4.8): Our value pick and the cheapest tour here, a 1 to 2-hour two-seat buggy run along the Llucmajor coast with a 30-minute cove swim, capped at eight buggies for a small group. You can change drivers along the way or ride as a passenger.
  • Off/On Road Buggy to Llucmajor & Randa (€240 per buggy): A 3-hour on and off-road buggy tour inland through Llucmajor, in two or four-seat buggies priced per vehicle, so it is the best buggy tour Mallorca option for a couple or a family sharing a four-seater.
  • On Road Buggy + Panorama + Snorkeling (€180 per buggy): A 3-hour on-road buggy tour from near Palma to the Badia Blava bay with a snorkeling stop and gear included, also priced per buggy of up to two.
  • Mallorca Kids Buggy (€50): Not a road tour, but a supervised track where children aged 8 to 14 drive a small automatic buggy themselves, the only way for younger kids to get behind the wheel.

Because two of the buggy tours are priced per vehicle, they often work out cheaper than the per-person quads when two or more of you share. For families, couples, and anyone without a licence, a buggy tour in Mallorca is the more flexible choice.

Where Mallorca ATV and Buggy Tours Run

Mallorca's quad and buggy tours cluster in two parts of the island, so the most practical first step is to pick a launch point near where you are staying.

  • South and southwest (Palma, Magaluf, Llucmajor): The busiest area, with most tours leaving from around Palma, Magaluf, and the Llucmajor coast. The terrain mixes coastal roads, the rural Llucmajor interior, and the Randa mountain, with swim and snorkel stops at coves like Bella Vista and the bay of Badia Blava. This is the most convenient base if you are staying in or near Palma or the southwest resorts.
  • North (Port d'Alcúdia and Formentor): The northern tour runs from Port d'Alcúdia up toward the dramatic Formentor peninsula and the Es Colomer viewpoint, with the Alcúdia old town walls and the Es Barcares coast along the way. It is the most scenic route and the natural choice if you are based around the bay of Alcúdia.

The riding is similar in both areas: automatic, beginner-friendly vehicles on a guided route with a viewpoint and usually a swim stop. What changes most is the scenery and the drive to the meeting point, so we'd choose the area nearest your base.

What You Need to Drive an ATV or Buggy in Mallorca

The rules for driving a quad or buggy in Mallorca trip up a lot of visitors, so it is worth knowing before you book. The short version: to drive, you need a full car driving licence, but you can almost always ride along without one.

  • Driving licence: Every adult tour requires a full car (category B) driving licence, carried as the original physical card or an official government digital licence. Photos, photocopies, and provisional or learner licences are not accepted, and a licence in a non-Latin alphabet needs an International Driving Permit alongside it.
  • Minimum age: The minimum age to drive runs from 18 to 21 depending on the operator, and some require you to have held your licence for a set period (one tour asks for two years). Always check the age rule on the specific tour.
  • Passengers: On the buggy tours, anyone without a licence can ride as a passenger, and the two and four-seat buggies let couples and families share a vehicle. On the quad tours you can take a double quad, but on some you are not allowed to switch drivers mid-tour.
  • Kids: Children cannot drive on the road tours, but the dedicated kids buggy lets ages 8 to 14 drive a small automatic buggy on a closed track, and most quad tours carry passengers from age 7 upward.

The vehicles themselves are automatic, with no gears or clutch, so they are genuinely easy to drive after a short briefing, even if you have never driven a quad or buggy before.

Best Time for an ATV or Buggy Tour in Mallorca

Quad and buggy tours in Mallorca run from spring to autumn, roughly April to October, and the timing is mostly about heat, dust, and whether you want to swim at the stops rather than whether the tours operate.

PeakJun–Aug

The warmest sea for the swim and snorkel stops, but also the hottest and dustiest on the trails, and the busiest. Morning departures are far more comfortable than midday, and popular tours fill up, so book a day or two ahead.

ShoulderMay, Sep–Oct

Our pick: warm enough to swim, cooler and less dusty on the trails, smaller groups, and easier booking. Early autumn keeps the sea warm while the heat eases.

Off-seasonNov–Apr

Cooler and quieter, with some tours on a reduced schedule and the sea too cold for swimming. The trails can be muddy after rain, but a dry winter day is still fine for the scenery and viewpoints.

Whatever the month, we'd book a morning departure: the trails are cooler and less dusty, the light is best at the viewpoints, and you beat the midday heat on an open vehicle.

How Much Does an ATV or Buggy Tour in Mallorca Cost?

An ATV or buggy tour in Mallorca costs about €52 to €95 per person for a guided quad or buggy ride, with the vehicle, helmet, and a guide included. Two of the buggy tours are priced per vehicle instead, at €180 to €240 for a buggy of up to two, which can work out cheaper for couples or families sharing. The kids buggy track is €50.

Per person€52–95

Most tours. The buggy cove-swim trip is €52, the flagship quad tour €65, the Magaluf mountain ATV €88, and the Alcúdia Formentor quad €95, all per person with the vehicle and guide included.

Per buggy€180–240

Two of the buggy tours are priced per vehicle for up to two people: the on-road panorama tour is €180 and the off-road Llucmajor tour €240, with four-seaters available, so they often beat per-person pricing for couples and families.

Kids track€50

The kids buggy is €50 for a supervised drive on a closed track, the only option for under-18s to get behind the wheel themselves.

For most travelers the €52 to €65 tours give the same core of a guided ride with a swim stop, so we'd choose by location and whether you want a quad or a buggy. The per-buggy tours are worth the maths if you are two or more sharing, and the per-person quads suit solo riders.

From Our Experience

We've found the licence is the thing that catches people out, not the driving: you must bring your original physical car licence to drive, but the automatic quads and buggies are easy enough that anyone licensed can ride them after a five-minute briefing, and non-drivers can always ride along in a buggy.

Tips for Your Mallorca ATV Tour

  • Bring your original driving licence: A full car (B) licence is required to drive, as the physical card or an official digital licence. Photos, copies, and provisional licences are refused, usually with no refund.
  • Check the minimum age: Driver age minimums run from 18 to 21 by tour, and one asks you to have held your licence for two years. Confirm the rule before booking.
  • No licence? Book a buggy: On the buggy tours you can ride as a passenger, and the two and four-seat buggies suit couples and families. The quads are drive-yourself.
  • Pick the area nearest your base: Most tours run from around Palma, Magaluf, and Llucmajor in the south, with one from Port d'Alcúdia in the north. Choosing the closest saves a long drive.
  • Expect to get dirty, and protect your eyes: The off-road sections kick up real dust and there can be a short muddy stretch, so wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind ruining. Bring sunglasses or goggles, mainly to keep the dust out of your eyes, plus a swimsuit and towel for the swim stops.
  • Be ready for a brisk, bumpy ride: The pace picks up once the group settles in, and the gravel and off-road tracks are genuinely jolty. It stays beginner-friendly with the guide setting the speed, but passengers in particular should be comfortable with a bumpy ride.
  • Go in the morning: Morning departures are cooler and less dusty on the trails, with better light at the viewpoints, especially in summer.
  • Do the maths on per-buggy tours: Two of the buggy tours are priced per vehicle, so they can beat per-person pricing if you are two, or a family sharing a four-seater.
  • Kids can drive too: Under-18s cannot drive the road tours, but the kids buggy track lets ages 8 to 14 drive on a closed course, and most quad tours carry passengers from age 7.

Why You Can Trust This Guide

We compared every bookable ATV, quad, and buggy tour in Mallorca across GetYourGuide, Viator, and operator websites to build this guide, weighing review volume, ratings, the meeting point, the vehicle and licence rules, what is included, and value for money rather than marketing claims. We focus on what actually shapes a quad or buggy day: where the tour launches, whether you need a licence and what age, quad versus buggy, how long you ride, and whether there is a viewpoint or swim stop. Where details were thin, we checked across multiple platforms and recent reviews to confirm the real picture. Our recommendations are independent. We are not paid to feature any operator, and the comparison reflects the pricing, ratings, and traveler feedback as we found them, so you can book the ride that fits your base, your licence, and your group with confidence.

How We Selected These Tours

The Spain Travel Insider team built this list around what matters most on a Mallorca quad or buggy tour: a convenient meeting point, a safe and beginner-friendly automatic vehicle, a guided route with a real viewpoint or swim stop, and clear, honest information on the licence and age rules. Every tour here is a verified, bookable experience with a solid rating and a real volume of recent reviews. We left out tours with thin feedback, vague meeting points, or unclear requirements, which matter most when a missing licence can stop you driving on the day. We also spread the picks across the island and the formats, from the most-booked quad tour and a budget buggy with a cove swim to a scenic northern quad ride, per-buggy group tours, and a kids buggy track, so there is a fit whatever your base, budget, licence, and group.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ATV tour in Mallorca?+

For most visitors, the Mallorca ATV/Quad Bike Tour is the best all-round choice and by far the most booked, rated 4.8 from more than 2,800 reviews at €65, with a 2 to 3-hour guided quad ride and summer swim, snorkel, and cliff-jump stops. For the best value, the €52 buggy tour with a cove swim is a great cheaper option, especially if not everyone has a licence.

How much does an ATV tour in Mallorca cost?+

A Mallorca ATV or buggy tour costs about €52 to €95 per person for a guided quad or buggy ride with the vehicle and guide included. Two buggy tours are priced per vehicle at €180 to €240 for up to two people, which can be cheaper for couples or families sharing, and the kids buggy track is €50.

Do you need a licence for an ATV tour in Mallorca?+

To drive, yes: every adult tour requires a full car (category B) driving licence, shown as the original physical card or an official digital licence, not a photo or copy. The minimum age runs from 18 to 21 by tour. If you do not have a licence, you can ride as a passenger on the buggy tours.

Where do ATV and buggy tours in Mallorca run from?+

Most tours run from the south and southwest around Palma, Magaluf, and Llucmajor, with one scenic quad tour from Port d'Alcúdia in the north toward the Formentor viewpoint. Choose the meeting point closest to where you are staying to save a long drive.

What is the difference between the quad and buggy tours?+

Quads are single or double and you drive yourself, so every driver needs a licence. Buggies seat two or four and let a non-driver ride along, which makes them the easier choice for couples, families, and anyone without a licence. The routes and scenery are similar; the vehicle and who can come are the main differences.

Can kids do an ATV or buggy tour in Mallorca?+

Children cannot drive the road tours, but most quad tours carry passengers from about age 7, and there is a dedicated kids buggy track where ages 8 to 14 (at least 120cm tall) can drive a small automatic buggy on a closed course with supervision. For families, a four-seat buggy or the kids track are the best options.

Are Mallorca ATV and buggy tours suitable for beginners?+

Yes. The quads and buggies are automatic, with no gears or clutch, so after a short safety briefing even first-timers are comfortable within minutes. A guide leads the convoy and sets a steady pace, and the routes mix easy country roads with gentle off-road sections.

When is the best time for an ATV tour in Mallorca?+

Quad and buggy tours run from about April to October. June to August has the warmest sea for the swim stops but the hottest, dustiest trails; May, September, and early October are cooler and less dusty with warm water. Morning departures are the most comfortable in any month.
