| Can anyone recommend a good Quad Bike Safari company in Sharm as we are going in May 2008. Any tips would be appreciated as I have a 12 year old and 6 year who I would like to bring along as we are a family of four.
Thanks

| We stayed at Coral Sea last year but First Choice will not do quad bikes for under 16's which we did not know in advance - as we did not want to risk going to beach boys with our 7 year old we missed out!
This year we are returning and having done some research will be booking a trip with Longwood for a double dune buggy as will take passengers from 6 years old and can also do proper quad bikes for adults
Hope this is of some help

| You definately need to ask the right questions - we shopped around last year as some only covered 50cc which is totally inadequate and most would not cover at all - eventually got cover and then could not go quad biking as son too young!!
This year our bank account insurance covers quad biking so no need to take extra cover but have checked the small print to be on the safe side

| You won't be able to to book thru Thomson, Thomas Cook etc but the hotel or local vendors will onlige; unsure about Longwoods. They have a website if you google them & an office on the main rd thru Na'ama, next to the Jolie Ville Resort & Casino, upstairs in shopping mall 8.
Plz ensure you have adequate ins cover for risky sports. Think insuremore.co.uk (or similar sp?) do it.

| hi,
me n my husband went quad biking in sharm last year. We booked our trip through one of the kiosks on the beach. the trip was very well organised and great value for money. There were teenagers driving the quads although the tour guides made it quite clear that any rule breaking the offenders would travel in the pick up. You can also share a quad with your teenager. I dont think there was an age limit on this. I hope this was of some help to you.
enjoy your holiday

| My daughter rode a automatic quad at the age of 14. She was never asked her age or her ability to be able to ride one!!
Take a look at our photos.

| hi, when we went last there was a boy probably about 10 or 11, so it shouln't be a poblem, however you will have to book with locals or your hotel, just ask about age when your there, they will tell you....quad biking is great, we cant wait to go again soon x

| Two years ago I paid £12 per person booking direct with an agent in Naama Bay. There was some other people on the trip that paid £25 through their travel rep!!
We were out on the bikes for about 90 mins from what I remember.
Have a look at my photos for some piccys of us on quads.
Petrol in Egypt was 7p a litre two years ago, so I guess it's gone up a little now and that might put the price up a teeny weeny bit!!...hehe

| They take kids from from the age of 4 but they get placed on the quat together with the father or mother.
When the kid want to drive by them self he or she should let see that they can drive, most times around the 10 years?
