Full Description
Ciovo Island
Ciovo is a green island in the Adriatic, joined to the old town of Trogir by a short bridge. Most visitors know it for its beaches and villages, but the hills and old tracks inland are ideal for off-road riding. The quad tour on Ciovo Island shows the quieter interior, with dry stone walls, olive trees, pine and views across the water.
Because Ciovo is so close to Trogir and a short drive from Split, it is easy to reach for a half-day activity. People searching for things to do near Trogir often choose a quad tour, since it combines an active ride with scenery. The meeting point is near Trogir, and it has free parking.
Off-road trails and viewpoints
The route follows dirt tracks, rocky paths and gentle climbs, and stops at viewpoints with sea and islands in front of you. The guide leads at a steady pace and stops for photos, so the group stays together. The fully automatic quads are easy to handle, and you do not need previous experience of riding.
Dust is part of the fun, and you receive a dust mask as a gift. Wear clothes that can get dirty, closed shoes and sunglasses if you have them. The ride is about two and a half hours in all, with riding time of two hours, and it can be adjusted for weather and trail conditions.
Safety briefing and equipment
Before setting off you receive safety training from the guide and instructor, who explain the controls, the rules of the group ride and hand signals. You wear a helmet and safety equipment, and each guest receives a half-litre bottle of water. Raincoats are provided if it rains.
Participant accident insurance is included, giving peace of mind on rougher ground. Please listen carefully to the instructor and follow the guide's line, because trails can be uneven. Check the age categories in the booking panel and ask us about requirements for younger riders and passengers before booking.
Trogir after your ride
Trogir is a compact walled town on its own islet, and its old centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a Romanesque cathedral and narrow stone streets. It makes an easy add-on to a quad tour, before or after your ride, and there are cafés and restaurants along the waterfront.
Hotel pickup is not included, but it can be arranged for an extra fee. Food and tips are also not included. Morning riders meet at 09:30, and afternoon riders at 13:30, at the meeting point we confirm after booking.
