Quads, waterfalls, and sea views in four hours. I like the CF Moto CForce 450L setup for comfort and control, and I like that you get both cliff viewpoints and a waterfall swim stop. One thing to consider: you’ll need a valid category B driving license, and this route is not for people with mobility or back issues.

This is also built for people who hate feeling rushed. You’ll ride with a small group (up to 8), follow an English-speaking guide, and get several real time pauses for photos and viewpoints (4 photo checkpoints). If you’re visiting in peak season, parking in Omiš can be tricky, so plan to arrive early and don’t wait until the last minute.

Key things to know before you go

• Small group limit (8 people): You get more personalized guiding and a steadier pace.
• CF Moto CForce 450L quads (400 cm3): Double seaters, comfortable handling, and a storage box for your essentials.
• Two waterfall viewpoint climbs: You’ll reach spots near Zadvarje and Velika Gubavica for big “look-out” moments.
• Mimice Old Village plus a stone sculpture park: Art and culture are part of the ride, not just a stop by the road.
• Male Gubavica swimming break: Bring swim gear if you want to cool off during the warmer months.

Quad Safari Setup: Where You Meet and What You Ride

You’ll start at Ul. Josipa Pupačića 5. Look for the orange quad ATVs parked right in front of the agency, and that’s your visual cue that you’re in the right place.

You’ll ride CF Moto CForce 450 L quad bikes (400 cm3), and they’re set up as double seaters. That matters because you’re not squeezed into a tiny cockpit. You also get big storage with each quad for things you bring on the ride, which helps a lot when you’re also trying to keep towels, water, or a phone safe.

Before anything starts, you get quad bike instructions plus helmets, and there’s a guide with you throughout. If you’re the type who feels better with rules and structure, this group tour style usually hits the sweet spot: clear guidance, but time to enjoy what you’re seeing.

Safety That Feels Real: Guide Style and Hands-On Control

Safety here is not treated like a formality. You’re on a guided route with well-maintained quads, and the experience is set up for riders who want the fun of off-road with professional oversight.

The practical details add up:

• You get a live guide in English.
• You ride with group size capped at 8, which makes it easier to manage spacing on uneven sections.
• You’re not just pointed down a trail; you receive instruction before you start riding.

From what you’ll likely experience on the day, the guide also helps you find a comfortable rhythm. One guide name that comes up is Ivan—and his style is described as careful and safety-first, while also letting the group move at a reasonable pace.

One drawback to keep in mind: this is a ride with physical demands. If you have low fitness, back problems, or mobility impairments, you’ll likely struggle with the walking and the time spent on a quad seat.

The 65 km Route: River Canyons, Serpentine Roads, and Big Views

This is a full-on “mix of everything” route. You’ll travel through mountain-height views, river canyon roads, and sections that feel dramatic because the roads curve and rise.

The route is designed so you’re not just riding through the same scenery over and over. Instead, you get a shifting series of natural “scenes”:

• wider overlooks when the road climbs
• canyon views as the terrain drops and curves
• coastline-and-mountain panoramas when the land opens up

There are also 4 photo checkpoints, so the day includes planned stops to reset, grab pictures, and let you catch your breath (especially useful when you’re moving fast on open stretches).

If you’re hoping for a smooth ride the entire time, keep expectations realistic. You’re in a canyon and mountain system, so there will be bumps and changes. The tradeoff is that the views feel earned.

Zadvarje Stops and Velika Gubavica Viewpoints: The Part You’ll Remember

Your route builds toward lookout moments, and the Zadvarje area is a major highlight. You’ll get time for:

• a photo stop in Zadvarje with about an hour set aside
• a climb toward viewpoint areas connected with Velika Gubavica
• time to take breaks and enjoy the setting rather than racing past it

There’s also a coffee and refreshment break in Zadvarje village. That simple detail is worth something: it turns the tour from pure adrenaline into a more balanced day out. You’re not just sitting on a quad; you’re also getting a short “real place” moment in a village setting.

What can be tricky: weather and temperature. If you go early in the day, you might feel cooler when you’re moving at higher speeds. A light layer helps.

Also, expect a stop-and-look style at the viewpoints. You’ll have moments where you pause, look out, and then move on. It’s a good format if you enjoy photos, but you still want to get back on the ride.

Mimice Old Village + Open-Air Stone Sculpture Park

Not every quad tour includes culture. This one does, and it helps break up the day nicely.

You’ll visit Mimice Old Village for an art and culture stop. It’s not just a photo stop; you get time to experience the village feel while you’re still in the flow of the adventure.

Then there’s an open-air stone sculpture park, described as an artistic standout. Even if you’re not usually a “sculpture person,” this kind of outdoor art space works well on a day like this. You’re already outdoors, already walking a bit, and it gives your brain a different kind of input than canyon views and road curves.

The benefit for you: you come away with more than just scenery. You get a sense of how people in this region shape space and style—without turning the tour into a museum day.

Male Gubavica Waterfall Swim Break: How to Make It Worth It

This is the cooling-off moment: a swimming break at Male Gubavica Waterfall.

If you want the full experience, bring swim gear. Being able to go in during a quad day changes how you remember it. It’s not just a stop to look at water from dry land; it’s time to actually refresh in the waterfall area.

One more practical tip: plan for the logistics of changing and keeping your things safe. You’ll have a storage box on the quad, and that helps, but you’ll still want to pack smart. Bring a small towel if you can, and think about waterproofing your phone.

If you don’t want to swim, you can still treat it like a scenic rest stop. But the tour clearly includes this as a highlight, so it’s worth preparing for.

Vruja Bay Panoramas and Photo Checkpoints: Staying in the Moment

After the village and waterfall moments, you’ll reach Vruja Bay for panoramic views. This part is less about swimming and more about letting the scenery land.

The “photo checkpoints” matter here because they give you defined moments to take pictures without constantly negotiating when to stop. You’ll also get a guide who, based on rider feedback, tends to let you decide how long you stay at viewpoints rather than rushing you out.

That balance is important. On a quad day, you can end up feeling like you’re either always riding or always waiting. Here, the structure keeps it from getting monotonous, and it prevents the kind of “one-minute stop, next checkpoint” feeling that drains enjoyment.

Price and Value: Is $188 a Fair Deal for a 4-Hour Quad Safari?

At $188 per person for about 4 hours, this isn’t a cheap activity. But the value comes from what you’re actually getting for that money.

Here’s what you’re paying for, in practical terms:

• a guided 65 km route with planned stops
• helmets, quad bike instructions, and petrol included
• a small group size (up to 8)
• a day that mixes viewpoints, village culture, a sculpture park, and a waterfall swim break
• included pre/ride amenities like drinking water, plus lounge access, WiFi, and phone charging

Also, you’re not just renting a vehicle and figuring it out. The guide is there, and that reduces friction if you’re not experienced with off-road riding.

One cost note to keep straight: incident and damage insurance isn’t included. You do get personal insurance, but that doesn’t replace damage coverage. If you’re the cautious type, it’s worth thinking about what you’re comfortable with before you ride.

Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)

This quad safari is best for people who:

• want a guided, structured route without a huge group
• enjoy active days and don’t mind some bumpy riding
• like a mix of nature + culture stops
• are excited about water cooling off at the Male Gubavica waterfall

It’s not suitable for:

• children under 5
• people over 65
• wheelchair users and people with mobility impairments
• people with back problems
• riders over 260 lbs (118 kg)
• drivers under 18
• people with low fitness
• scuba divers without certification (not relevant for most riders, but listed)
• anyone planning to ride under the influence (alcohol and drugs are not allowed)

If you’re a first-time quad rider, you may feel a bit nervous at the start. The key is that you’ll get instructions and the guide manages safety so you can build confidence.

Getting There Without Stress: Parking Tips for Omiš

Peak season can be chaotic in Omiš. If you show up late, you’ll lose time looking for parking and walking in.

You have a few parking options that are still fairly close to the agency:

• central parking at 1.50 € / hour
• Zone A by the beach at 4 € / hour
• Zone B by the beach at 1.50 € / hour
• free parking behind the second tunnel (from Split direction)

The helpful part: all of these are within about 5 minutes walking distance from the agency. Still, don’t treat that as a guarantee. I’d plan to arrive 30 minutes earlier so you can handle parking and check-in without stress. If needed, you can briefly stop in front of the agency for drop-off (but that’s for quick movement, not long parking).

Should You Book This 65 km Quad Tour to Hidden Waterfalls?

You should book if you want a day that’s clearly more than scenic driving: you’ll ride a real route, stop for viewpoints in the Zadvarje and Velika Gubavica area, mix in Mimice Old Village and outdoor sculpture art, and finish with a waterfall swim at Male Gubavica.

Don’t book if you’re expecting a gentle, low-effort outing, because this includes a riding day plus walking at stops. Also, be honest about the driving requirement: you need a valid category B driving license. And remember, alcohol and drugs are not allowed.

If you’re a confident driver with a good baseline of fitness and you like the idea of quad riding plus water and views, this is one of the more complete 4-hour adventures around the Omiš/Split area.
