We had a great day, the jet ski activity is done on the lake, great scenery, very nice team. The quad right next to the first activity, a beautiful ride that lasted a good 2 hours, magnificent landscapes with a tea break under the Berber tent, everything just between us (family of 4), our 14-year-old daughter was able to drive the quad with the guide (normally from 16 years old), we loved the two tailor-made activities we highly recommend.

Perfect from start to finish. Very good experience, very good service, top team, very friendly driver, a big thank you to Hamid who made us spend a superb morning with the family, the Quad, it was really great! Speed, sensations, good equipment! The landscape is breathtaking, the small tea break halfway was a good surprise as well. We highly recommend.

Such a great experience going over all the dunes in the desert. The team was very helpful, especially big thanks to our guide Hamid who look after us, He even helped a cautious group member gain confidence with the quad and terrain, jet ski was great. Highly recommended

A magical place, the lake just for us, instead of doing 15min of jetskiing we did almost 30 minutes!!!

Hamza was an amazing guide. I would highly recommend him. Very attentive, informative and friendly.
