PLANNING YOUR RIDE

Find the right trip.

Both. Check our tour dates and availability to join a planned group.

A gap in the calendar can also be the start of a new tour. Three or more riders? Request your dates. Two riders? Ask us well in advance and we’ll see what we can arrange.

Always confirm your tour with us before booking flights.

Yes, where places are available. Use “Join for one day” on the tour calendar and select the exact riding day you want. Day riders do not need to stay at the house.

We mainly ride from September through June. Riding is more limited in July and August because of the heat, wildfire risk and trail conditions. Ask us about your dates before making travel plans.

Absolutely. Non-riders are welcome at the house. They can relax by the pool, explore the area or take it easy while you ride. Tell us who is coming and we’ll check accommodation and provide a quote.

GETTING READY

The practical details.

Yes. Every rider needs an unrestricted Category A or A2 motorcycle licence. With an A2 licence, you ride our KTM 250 Freeride, with approximately 22 horsepower. Tell us your licence category when you enquire so we can match you to the right bike.

If your licence was issued abroad, check the current rules for driving in Portugal and whether you need an International Driving Permit.

  • Valid travel documents: check the current entry requirements for Portugal for your nationality.
  • Your motorcycle licence: unrestricted Category A or A2, plus any additional permit required for your licence.
  • Long boot socks and base layers: comfortable clothing to wear under the protective gear.
  • Suitable travel insurance: we strongly recommend cover that explicitly includes off-road motorcycling, medical treatment and repatriation. Confirm the activity and bike with your insurer.
  • Your EHIC or GHIC, if eligible: bring a valid card where applicable. It does not replace travel insurance.

We provide the riding kit: helmet, boots, armour, jersey, trousers and gloves. You are welcome to bring your own gear.

Packages with accommodation include transfers between Faro airport and our base in Rasmalho from 08:00 to 22:00. A surcharge applies outside these hours.

For a single-day ride or a different pickup location, ask us about arrangements and any additional cost before booking.

Our prices and invoices are in euros.

Single-day rides: pay the full amount in cash in euros on arrival. No deposit is required.

Multi-day packages: pay 35% at booking and the remaining 65% before the tour, using the payment instructions in your booking confirmation.

If you want to pay from a GBP account or need another payment arrangement, contact us first. Any currency conversion and fees depend on the agreed payment method and your payment provider.
