Javea Buggy & Quad Off‑Road Scenic Tour to Cap de San Antoni
Strap into a buggy or quad and follow coastal tracks from vineyard-strewn valleys to the abrupt cliffs of Cap de San Antoni. This 2½‑hour off-road tour mixes scenic viewpoints, short rock climbs and the chance to spot dolphins offshore.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring eye protection
Goggles or sunglasses reduce dust and glare; the operator provides goggles but bring a comfortable pair if you have prescription lenses.
Closed-toe shoes only
Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect your feet on bumpy tracks and when stepping in and out of vehicles.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Carry at least 1 litre of water and high-SPF sunscreen — coastal wind can mask sun exposure.
Drivers must meet license rules
Drivers need a full license and meet the operator’s age requirements (typically 25–75 years); book accordingly.
