"I booked this for myself and my 12-year-old daughter while celebrating my birthday in Kraków, and it exceeded our expectations! The quad biking was amazing and perfect for anyone who loves adrenaline. The off-road sections, especially driving through the water, were definitely the highlight for both of us. The thermal baths were the perfect way to relax afterwards. They were beautiful, although a little crowded. A huge thank you to our tour guide, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and always checking everyone was enjoying themselves. They made sure we had plenty of food and toilet stops, and our driver was also fantastic—professional, friendly, and made the journey comfortable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kraków. It was the perfect birthday celebration and a day my daughter and I will always remember!"

How a Quad Day from Krakow Works
Four choices that decide the real cost and the shape of your day.
Pick a ticket, then add the vehicle
Tickets run from $28 for transport only to about $151 with baths, and none of them includes the machine. Fun Tours Cracow charges 400 PLN per two-seater quad or 500 PLN per buggy, Cracow Top Tours 300 PLN per quad, and KRK-KrakowTours does not publish its ATV price. All are paid on the day, mostly in cash.
Choose your route
Fun Tours Cracow lets you pick a scenic route with Tatra views or a rougher extreme route through mud, forest and water, with a photo break in the middle. KRK-KrakowTours rides in a column behind the guide across rivers, rocky trails and steep slopes. Expect to get dirty on any of them, and wear clothes that can take it.
Ride for about an hour
Where listings give a length, the ride itself lasts about an hour, including short photo stops. Two people can share one machine and swap the handlebars at the stops, which halves the rental. Rides run on private land outside Tatra National Park, where motor vehicles are banned, so you see the mountains from the Podhale countryside.
Finish in the pools or on Krupówki
Most quad days end with two and a half to three hours in thermal baths; Fun Tours Cracow names Chochołowskie Termy, which is closed from 19 to 30 October 2026. The cheapest coach day trades the baths for Gubałówka and about two hours on Krupówki. Bring swimwear, a towel and money for food inside the complex.

QUAD TOUR GUIDE
Zakopane Quad Bike Tours from Krakow Compared
What each ticket covers, what the vehicle costs on the day, and how long you actually ride.
For a quad day with the most going on, book Fun Tours Cracow’s Zakopane Quad and Buggy Tour with Thermal Baths on GetYourGuide. It costs from $151 per person on the option with thermal baths, and the day takes in the wooden village of Chochołów, a quad or buggy ride on a scenic or an extreme route, smoked cheese you grill yourself over a fire pit, and Chochołowskie Termy. It holds 5.0 from 39 GetYourGuide reviews. The same day is sold on Viator as Full Day Zakopane Quads/Buggy and Thermal Baths Tour from about $156, with 5.0 from 19 reviews on Viator, so check both for your date (prices checked October 2026).
The vehicle is extra: 400 PLN in cash for a two-seater quad, or 500 PLN for a two-seater buggy, shared between the two riders. Know two things before you compare. Review counts on quad days are small, between 9 and 39 on the quad-first listings here, so a 5.0 rests on far fewer trips than the big Zakopane days. And one listing prices its options in an odd direction: Fun Tours Cracow’s option without baths was $178 when we checked, more than the $151 option with them.
What you pay on the day
Every quad tour from Krakow splits the price in two: a ticket online and a rental paid on the spot. Here is the second half, as each listing gives it.
- Fun Tours Cracow: 400 PLN per two-seater quad, 500 PLN per two-seater buggy, cash only.
- Cracow Top Tours: 300 PLN per quad, paid on site, the lowest rental quoted on this site.
- Discover Poland: 400 PLN per quad, which the listing also gives as 200 PLN per person, plus the Gubałówka funicular if you ride it.
- KRK-KrakowTours: the listing excludes the ATV rental and paid in cash at the base, but gives no figure. Ask the operator before you book.
Two people sharing one machine halves every figure above. KRK-KrakowTours lets passengers swap to the handlebars at the photo stops, so sharing does not have to mean riding on the back all day.
The quad days compared
Fun Tours Cracow’s quad and buggy day is the only one here that offers buggies and a choice of route. Hotel pickup is a separate option at about $210 per person; the standard option meets at a kiss-and-ride point in central Krakow. One reviewer had about two and a half hours at the baths and said it was the only place to eat, so budget for a meal there. See our full breakdown of this tour.
Cracow Top Tours’ Zakopane Quad Ride, Bonfire and Thermal Springs costs from $103 per person, priced for two travellers, and collects you from your hotel or apartment. You get about an hour on the quad with an instructor, about an hour at a bonfire with Polish sausage, snacks and alcoholic drinks, and about three hours at a thermal baths complex the listing does not name. It holds 4.9 from 9 GetYourGuide reviews, the fewest of any tour on this page.
KRK-KrakowTours’ Zakopane ATV Off-Road Ride and Thermal Pools costs from about $142 per person on Viator, or about $149 with a shooting range added (ammunition extra). Groups are capped at eight, you are lent a helmet, waterproof coat, trousers and wellies, and the off-road hour crosses rivers and steep slopes before a 2.5-hour baths ticket. There is no hotel pickup. Until 15 November 2026 it runs on Tuesdays and Saturdays, then daily. It holds 4.9 from 16 reviews on Viator.
Discover Poland’s Zakopane Quad Ride, Gubałówka and Krupówki Day Trip has the lowest ticket on this page, from $28 per person, but that buys the coach from Bosacka 18, a driver or tour leader and a small vodka and cheese tasting. The only option on sale when we checked was the quad one, which includes no thermal baths. On the spot you pay the quad (400 PLN per machine) and the Gubałówka funicular; the listing quotes 44 PLN, the summer fare, while PKL’s low-season return from 1 October is 37 PLN online or 42 PLN at the office. In exchange you get about two hours of free time on Krupówki. It holds 4.5 from 19 GetYourGuide reviews.
Snowmobile days that run on quads
Off-season, several snowmobile tours become quad tours. Krakowdirect’s Zakopane Snowmobiles, Bonfire and Hot Springs Tour rides quads in the warmer months, about an hour with a certified instructor, for 400 PLN per vehicle on top of a ticket from $108, and it has 4.8 from 1,300 GetYourGuide reviews, far more history than any quad-first listing. KRK-KrakowTours’ Snowmobile Adventure with Zakopane and Optional Thermal Pools switches to quads or buggies when the snow is thin and holds 5.0 from 310 GetYourGuide reviews. Our Zakopane snowmobile tours page compares those days in full.
How long you actually ride
On a 10- or 11-hour day, the machine takes about an hour. Cracow Top Tours, KRK-KrakowTours and Krakowdirect all give about an hour, including short stops for photos of the Tatras. Fun Tours Cracow and Discover Poland do not state a length. The rest of the day is driving, about one and a half to two hours each way from Krakow, plus food stops and the baths or town. If the ride is the only part you care about, the Discover Poland coach day leaves the most time in Zakopane itself, and our Zakopane day trip page covers days with more sightseeing and no engine at all.
Licences, age and who should skip it
Cracow Top Tours requires whoever drives to be at least 18 and to carry a valid driving licence; passengers need none, and the listing rules out under-18s altogether. The other listings set no licence rule. Cracow Top Tours’ quad service can turn away anyone who has been drinking, and Discover Poland has riders sign a document accepting the risks. KRK-KrakowTours does not recommend its ride for travellers with spinal injuries, pregnant travellers or anyone with poor cardiovascular health, and Fun Tours Cracow also excludes pregnant women.
The law shapes the routes. Polish nature-protection law bans motor vehicles inside Tatra National Park, and under the Forest Act quads may enter forests only on public roads or forest roads signposted as open to traffic. Police can fine an illegal forest ride up to 500 PLN on the spot. That is why the organised rides use private land outside the park.
The thermal baths part
Three of the four quad-first days end in thermal pools. Fun Tours Cracow names Chochołowskie Termy, where the pools are kept at 32–38°C; the other two do not name their baths. Chochołowskie Termy is closed for building work from 19 to 30 October 2026, so on those dates ask which complex your group will use. If the pools matter more than the ride, our Zakopane thermal baths tours page compares baths days with a proper Zakopane visit.
Where to go next

"From start to finish our guide Karina was amazing super helpful, made us feel very welcome, the quads were fantastic best we have ever done was definitely an experience I won’t forget."
"Brought my daughter in law for her 18th birthday to Krakow for a long weekend and booked this trip the day before as to explore more than the central square. From the moment we were picked up we were made to feel welcome and the guide was wonderful, she was chatty and went above and beyond to explain each stage as well as general conversation. We were guided through each activity without any problem and she was also very informative at each stage so we also learnt quite a bit about the local culture along they way. Highly recommended if you are thinking of doing this as an activity in Krakow."
"We had an absolutely fantastic experience with this company and cannot recommend them enough! The day started perfectly with a pickup location just 10 minutes from our apartment. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by our driver and guide, who even provided us with bottled water for the journey. Our first stop was the Sculpture Village, where our guide shared some fascinating history that really brought the area to life. This was followed by a grilled cheese tasting—it was delicious, and learning the tradition behind the cheese-making process made it even better. The highlight for us was the quad biking. The off-road track was exhilarating, especially driving through the river! We ended the day at the thermal baths. Our guide made it stress- free by explaining exactly how everything worked and—best of all—skipping the long queue to get our wristbands so we could jump right in."
"We had an excellent time on this trip, our guide was really really nice and had a lot of knowledge regarding the city on the way up to zakopane the wooden village and we also got a cheese tasting. We drove up in a small group which was very nice and very punctual , the quad biking was amazing we went through the lakes and through the woods the company took videos and pictures for us which was a nice touch! Then to end a good day in the thermal baths was unreal we had 2:30 mins there and we had access to everywhere! Really good company to book through"
"Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The guides made the day even better! Our best day in Poland!"
"Amazing experience! Thankyou! Highly recommend (even if I did crash!!! hahah!)"
"The tour was varied and exciting. I'd add a bit more time for the thermal bath, since it was the only place to eat. The guides and drivers were really nice I can recommend the tour"

Zakopane Quad Bike Tours from Krakow: Frequently Asked Questions
Rental costs, ride length, licences, routes, baths and the budget coach day on quad trips from Krakow.
Tickets run from $28 per person for a transport-only coach day to about $151 for Fun Tours Cracow's quad and buggy day with thermal baths. On top you pay the vehicle on the day: 300 PLN per quad with Cracow Top Tours, 400 PLN per two-seater quad or 500 PLN per buggy with Fun Tours Cracow. Prices checked October 2026.
No. Every quad tour compared on this site charges the machine separately on the day. Fun Tours Cracow asks 400 PLN per two-seater quad or 500 PLN per buggy in cash only, Cracow Top Tours 300 PLN per quad, and Discover Poland 400 PLN per quad. KRK-KrakowTours does not publish its ATV price, so ask before booking. Two riders sharing a machine split the cost.
About an hour on the tours that state it. Cracow Top Tours, KRK-KrakowTours and Krakowdirect each give roughly an hour on the machine, including short stops for photos of the Tatras. Fun Tours Cracow and Discover Poland do not give a length. The whole day lasts about 10 to 11 hours, most of it driving, eating and time at the baths or in town.
It depends on the operator. Cracow Top Tours requires whoever drives to be at least 18 and to carry a valid driving licence; passengers do not need one, and the tour is not open to under-18s. The other quad listings on this site set no licence rule. Bring your licence anyway if you plan to drive, and do not drink before the ride.
Yes, on most quad days. Fun Tours Cracow, Cracow Top Tours and KRK-KrakowTours all end with two and a half to three hours in thermal pools. The exception is Discover Poland's $28 coach day: its quad option includes no time at the baths, and the listing says the two variants cannot be combined. Our thermal baths tours page covers baths-first days.
Fun Tours Cracow offers both on its quad and buggy day. The scenic route is built around views of the Tatra Mountains, while the extreme route goes through mud, forest and water for more adrenaline. Both include a photo break in the middle. Reviewers mention driving through water and woods, so expect mud either way and wear clothes you do not mind ruining.
Because it covers only the coach from Bosacka 18, a driver or tour leader and a small vodka and cheese tasting. You pay the quad on the spot at 400 PLN per machine, plus the Gubałówka funicular if you ride it: 37 PLN online or 42 PLN at the office for a low-season return. It includes about two hours on Krupówki but no thermal baths.
No. Polish law bans motor vehicles inside Tatra National Park, and the Forest Act allows quads into forests only on public roads or signposted forest roads, with on-the-spot fines of up to 500 PLN. Organised rides therefore use private land outside the park, with views of the Tatras from the Podhale countryside. Some routes add a viewpoint stop.
Yes, most are built for first-timers. Cracow Top Tours says beginners are welcome and starts with a safety briefing and an instructor, and KRK-KrakowTours rides in a column behind the guide. The terrain can be rough, though: KRK-KrakowTours crosses rivers and steep slopes, and does not recommend the ride for anyone with spinal injuries, pregnancy or poor cardiovascular health.
Often, yes. Krakowdirect's snowmobile, bonfire and hot springs day rides quads in the warmer months, and KRK-KrakowTours switches to quads or buggies when the snow is thin. Krakowdirect's day has 4.8 from 1,300 GetYourGuide reviews, far more than any quad-first listing. Compare them on our snowmobile tours page.
Bring cash in złoty for the vehicle, clothes and shoes that can get muddy, and warm layers for the ride. For the baths, pack swimwear, a towel and flip-flops, plus money for food inside the complex. KRK-KrakowTours lends a waterproof coat, trousers and wellies, and Cracow Top Tours asks drivers to carry their driving licence.
