What only applies in Ibiza
- In Spain a quad classed as a heavy quadricycle needs a category B driving licence, and helmets are compulsory. The quad and buggy operator here also sets a minimum driver age of 25 for the quad and 21 for the buggy, and takes a €100 deposit.
- The classic Es Vedrà viewpoint at Torre des Savinar was closed by the landowners, who also shut the parking. The 4x4 route in this list looks at Es Vedrà from Cala d'Hort instead.
- Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell and the Illots de Ponent form a nature reserve under Decree 24/2002, which is why the rock is seen from the shore and never visited.
Who this is not for
Not for pregnant travellers or anyone with spinal injuries, all three operators advise against it. Not for anyone who wants to stay clean, the tracks are dusty in summer.
What to bring
- Driving licence, an international permit is recommended from outside Europe
- A card or cash for the €100 deposit on quad and buggy
- Closed shoes
- Sunglasses for dust
- Swimwear for the 4x4 day
Best time
May, June and September, when tracks are dry but the midday heat is lower. The 4x4 day ends at sunset, about 19:38 at the end of September and 21:23 in late June.
