Zakopane Quad Ride, Gubałówka and Krupówki Day Trip from Krakow


About This Experience
The low price buys the transport, a driver or tour leader, and a small vodka and cheese tasting. Everything else is paid on the spot, so the real cost of the day depends on what you add.
The coach leaves from Bosacka 18, Krakow's main bus station beside the railway station, and drives about 1.5 hours to a traditional highland village. Then it continues to Gubałówka, the ridge above Zakopane, and to Krupówki, the town's main pedestrian street, for about two hours of free time.
The listing describes two variants: a quad adventure or an afternoon at the thermal baths. It says the two cannot be combined on one tour, and the quad variant includes no time at the baths. When we checked, the only bookable option was the quad one ('Extreme Outdoor Experience with Quads').
Paid on the spot, according to the listing: the quad at 400 PLN per quad (also given as 200 PLN per person), the Gubałówka funicular at 44 PLN per person, and on the baths variant, baths entry at 98 PLN per person. A reviewer also found the sauna was an extra charge.
The itinerary on the listing ends at Chochołowskie Termy, which is closed from 19 to 30 October 2026 for building work, so check which baths your date uses if you choose that variant.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.5/5 by 19 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
Very good excursion; Driver Pavel and Tour Guide Eric were excellent. The only thing is that it wasn't made clear that there was a separate charge for the sauna, and they wanted the towel to cover the entire body or for there to be 2 towels. Even so, the value for money was excellent.

It was a well planned trip. Our tour guide Antoni is very knowledgeable and knows so many things about Kracow, Chocholow and Zakopane. Very accommodating as well, he helped us with our queries. The driver is very safe and professional, I felt safe and I was able to sleep. 5 stars for both. Will definitely book again from Discover Cracow on my next visit.

The excursion is very well organised. The guide, Antonio, is a young man who is very friendly and helpful; he helps you with everything you need and speaks Spanish very well. If I had to mention one drawback, I would have spent more time in Zakopane and a little less time at the thermal baths. The excursion is highly recommended.
