Quad bikes were originally designed for farmers and are in essence, rugged four-wheeled motorbikes. There are a couple of different formats to choose from so have a think about which one is best for your group.

Quad trekking is superb provided the centre has the extreme terrain required to make it interesting and enough quads to cater for your group. You want to test the bikes on tough terrain to get the most from the experience and the centres do vary in quality.

Quad bike racing is challenging and competitive.

Generally, you'll be racing around a purpose-built off road course in a grand prix format with heats and a final. Again, you'll want to ensure there are enough bikes to minimize waiting around time.

A quad obstacle course is a good option for groups containing a few people who might be a bit nervous about getting on the bikes. Here the emphasis is on skill and control rather than speed and an excellent team building aspect can be incorporated.

Note
For groups larger than 10, quad biking will need to be combined with other activities. This means that the group can be split up into teams that rotate between activities ensuring less waiting around time and generating a competitive element between the teams.
