What makes it 79% Couple-Friendly: Two adults share one quad for one fee, enjoy guided stops at ghost village and Fodele café, and can choose sunset timing for a scenic, mildly adventurous date.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: The morning (09:30–12:30) and sunset (15:00–17:00) tours last about 2–3 hours, allowing time for off-road riding and two main stops.
Morning Safari:
Ride at 09:30 to enjoy cooler temperatures and clear morning light over olive-covered valleys.
Tip: Arrive 15 minutes early for the safety briefing and practice field lesson.
Sunset Safari:
Choose the 15:00 slot to catch golden-hour views over rugged hills and valleys.
Tip: Bring a light jacket—temperatures drop quickly after sundown.
Explore the Ghost Village:
Wander the empty alleys of an abandoned mountain settlement and hear its history from your guide.
Tip: Wear closed-toe shoes for uneven ground and loose stones.
Relax at Fodele Café:
Pause under ancient olive trees to sample fresh orange juice, honey, baklava or pita gyros.
Tip: Try the local honey with yogurt for a sweet energy boost.

Wow...what can I say, what an amazing time with George and his Ela family from start to finish. Firstly making sure we understood the machines and had all the preparations for safety, then off we went on our safari in single file down dusty roads, through picturesque villages and even to a deserted town up in the hills..what a great morning we all had, so great we went back and had another go!! 😂...

The quad safari in Heraklion was an absolute highlight of our vacation! My boyfriend and I had an amazing time – the route was varied and offered stunning views of the Cretan landscape. On top of that, there was a surprising but really interesting stop with a short tour, which made the experience even more special. An adventure we can highly recommend to everyone!

We really loved this! From the moment George picked us up from the hotel until we were dropped back later on - fantastic experience! Certainly a different way to explore a little corner of Crete. If you are thinking about it but not sure… do it! It’s great fun.

Would highly recommend!!! One of the best experiences you can do to truly see Crete’s inner beauty. If you have the chance, definitely don’t miss out on an amazing experience. All the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable,

Had the best time with ELA Quad Safari! The hosts were so welcoming, funny, and easy to get along with. It felt really personal, like we were spending the day with friends. The safari was the perfect mix of adrenaline and culture, riding through beautiful Cretan landscapes, learning loads about the local history and stopping at a peaceful village for a drink and snack with the locals and hosts, wh...
Tours run daily from April to October. In July and August, favor the 09:30 or 15:00 start to avoid midday heat and enjoy softer light.
