The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a valid driving license
Drivers must hold a Category B license; bring it and be ready to sign a waiver at check-in.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails are rocky and uneven — sturdy shoes improve control and protect your feet.
Hydrate and snack between stops
Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are provided, but bring a refillable bottle for the warm months.
Watch the weather for dust and wind
Strong coastal wind increases dust on exposed tracks and can affect handling — choose calmer windows if you're new to quads.

Conservation Note
Stay on designated tracks to protect fragile karst soils and olive groves; avoid lighting fires in summer and pack out all trash to reduce pressure on the coastal environment.
Perun Hill sits on karst limestone used for centuries for terraces and lookout points; the villages here reflect Dalmatia's layered Roman, Venetian and Ottoman-era influences.
