Buggy Safari Marbella This month we thought we would try something completely different and what could be more different than a buggy safari. Buggy Safari Marbella are new to the coast and offer either three and a half hour or six hour trips. You get to be the driver,on these great fun tours. No experience necessary but you will need to hold a full drivers license as these buggys are road legal. The buggies have 250cc motorbike engines and are capable of carrying two people at speeds of up to 70 kph. After meeting at their office in Elviria and being given a brief tutorial, we set off on the back roads heading up a mountain to our first stop which was the fire look out point for the whole of the coast. The views from here were spectacular. Our guide for the day was Mark who pointed out many points of interest and even some nature facts. From here we continued along off road dirt tracks through some really beautiful countryside which you would never believe was only 10 minutes inland from the bustling coast of Marbella. Eventually we arrived at the small village of Ojen where we were grateful of the chance to grab a drink from a local bar whilst others decided to have a wander around and soak up the atmosphere of a typical Andalucian village. After a quick drink it was time to head back and my turn to have a go at driving. The buggies are extremely easy to operate with a pedal to go and a pedal to stop and once you get used to the heavy steering they are a pleasure to drive and very comfortable, they even have drinks holders. The driving is definitely the best part of this day. If you take part in this experience I guarantee you will want to know how much the buggies cost so you can add one to your wish list. We had a really great time and I would definitely do it again. The good thing about this experience is that the whole family can participate. As long as there is one drivers license holder per buggy, children as young as four can ride in a buggy in complete safety. Buggy Safari Marbella also offer corporate days to companies and can accommodate groups of up to 10 people at a time.
