Quad safaris
Up into the hills on paths you would never find on your own.
The view you cannot get from the shore
Behind the village the plain stops and the hills begin, and within twenty minutes you are high enough to see the whole shape of the lake: the reeds, the channels, the open water and the mountains on the Albanian side behind it.
We ride farm tracks and old paths, not tarmac. Nothing technical, nothing fast unless you want it to be. If you have never been on a quad, you get a briefing and a slow start, and the guide rides in front on a second machine the whole way.
Groups stay small. Two to four machines is normal, which keeps the dust down and means we can stop whenever somebody wants a photograph.
One winter run
Thirty-nine seconds of winter here: the tracks behind the village, the climb into the hills and the view over the lake. Winter on Skadar Lake stays mild, the grass stays green and the tracks stay open.
How far you go
The short loop
Around two hours, up to the first ridge and back down through the villages. Enough for the view, easy for beginners.
The long loop
Three to four hours, deeper into the hills with a stop somewhere with a view and something to drink.
Combined with a boat
A morning on the quads and an afternoon on the water, which is the way to see both sides of the lake in one day.
Quad safari questions
Do I need a driving licence?
Yes, bring a valid driving licence. Tell us in advance how many drivers there are so we have the right machines ready.
Can two people share a quad?
Yes, our machines take a driver and one passenger. That is often the best option for couples and for families with older children.
What should I wear?
Long trousers, closed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dusty. Helmets are provided.
What if I have never ridden one?
That is normal, most of our guests have not. You get a briefing and a slow section to practise on before we go anywhere interesting.
