What To Expect

Discover the natural wonders and unbeatable scenery of the Algarve on this guided buggy trip from Albufeira. Pass by Paderne's local farms and orange fields, stop to see the castle, and visit a café.

Your buggy expedition starts at the tour headquarters in Albufeira, where you’ll gear up on buggy, if riding in a pair, you’ll have the option to switch drivers in between the journey.

For optimal safety during our adventure, you’ll ride alongside a licensed guide and all drivers must be adults with driver's license.

Taking off from the headquarters, enjoy a safe, low-speed ride along streets and some dirt tracks where only off-road vehicles can go.
