Imagine zipping through rugged mountain trails, feeling the cool air on your face as the sun dips behind the peaks. That’s what this Sunset Quad Tour in Marbella promises. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just after a scenic escape, this 2-hour guided ride offers a unique way to see the Andalusian landscape in a way that’s both exciting and authentic.
What we really like about this experience is how it balances thrilling riding with the chance to soak in some of Marbella’s most spectacular views—particularly at sunset. Plus, the addition of a natural swimming pool in Ojén offers a refreshing break. On the flip side, it’s worth noting that the tour requires a minimum of 2 quads to run, so if you’re traveling alone or in a small group, you might need to wait for a future date or a larger gathering.
Designed for a wide range of riders, the tour is suitable for those with no prior experience and even caters to more seasoned riders. It’s particularly perfect for travelers who want a mix of adventure, scenic beauty, and a taste of local nature away from the busy coast. If you’re looking to add some excitement to your Marbella visit and enjoy some memorable mountain vistas, this tour could be just the ticket.

What Makes This Quad Tour Stand Out
This guided quad experience offers more than just a ride. It’s a carefully curated adventure that combines the thrill of off-road riding with some of the best views in the area. We loved the way the tour emphasizes both safety and fun, making it accessible to a wide audience, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned rider.
The guides are described as knowledgeable, which makes a difference when navigating the rocky trails and mountain paths. They are fluent in both English and Spanish, ensuring clear communication regardless of your language preference. On top of that, the small group size means you won’t be lost in a crowd—you’re likely to get personalized tips and attention, making the experience more enjoyable and safer.

The Itinerary and Experience
The adventure begins at a designated starting point in Marbella, where you’ll see a big window with the “Rutas Marbella” banner. Upon arrival, safety gear such as helmets with protection and a small water bottle are provided, along with a bag to carry your belongings during the ride. It’s a good idea to bring your driver’s license and ID or passport, as these are required for participation.
Once geared up, your guide will lead you through various terrains—ranging from rugged mountain trails to picturesque forested paths. The ride itself lasts about two hours, with plenty of stops for photos and scenic viewpoints. These pauses are not only photo ops but also chances to appreciate the panoramic vistas and the changing colors of the sunset.
The highlight of the tour is the moment you reach an elevated spot just as the sun begins to set. Here, you’re surrounded by vibrant hues and sweeping views of Marbella’s landscape, making it a perfect setting for memories and photos. The guides will also take professional photos and videos, which are included in the price, so no need to worry about capturing every moment with your phone.
The Natural Pool in Ojén
One of the tour’s standout features is the stop at a natural pool in Ojén. After riding through the mountains, you’ll have the chance to cool off in this serene spot, adding an extra touch of refreshment to your adventure. If you wish, you can bring a towel and swim attire (they suggest sunscreen and a towel), but you should be prepared for a brief dip rather than a full-day swim.
This stop is particularly appreciated by reviews, with one traveler noting it as part of the “amazing view and a lovely tour guide.” It’s a genuine taste of nature, away from the urban environment, and offers a peaceful respite after the more energetic riding segments.
Practical Details and Value
The tour costs are reasonable when considering what you get: a two-hour guided adventure, safety gear, professional photos, and the chance to experience Marbella’s scenic beauty from a new perspective. The small group setting enhances the experience, providing a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere.
Booking is flexible, with the option to cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can reserve your spot now and pay later, which is especially convenient for travelers with unpredictable plans. The tour runs at various times—check availability for your preferred slot.
Remember to bring closed shoes, sunscreen, and a towel if you plan to swim. The activity is not suitable for children under 7, pregnant women, or drivers under 18, and all participants must have a valid driver’s license.
