The Experience

Wheels hum and salt air finds its way through the helmet vents as the group rolls away from a sleepy coastal village, the Mediterranean opening ahead in wide bands of turquoise. The ride threads low dunes, pine copses and pale sand tracks—each bend revealing another cove or lagoon where the sea seems to dare you closer.

Before You Go

Charge and confirm battery range

Ask the operator to confirm battery charge and assist settings at least 72 hours ahead so the e‑bikes are prepped for the full 6‑hour loop.

Hydration and sun protection

Bring a 2–3L hydration pack and reef‑safe sunscreen—exposure on dunes and beaches is high and shade is limited.

Shoe choice for sandy sections

Wear sturdy closed shoes that can handle sand and occasional rocky footing near coves.

Respect protected areas

Stick to marked tracks in the Bidderosa reserve to protect dunes and nesting birds; don’t leave waste behind.
