Ideal for — Visitors looking for a more powerful experience than a quad who want to compare rates before booking.
The buggy is the most engaging activity in the Agafay desert: a four-wheeled vehicle with roll cage, bucket seats and more power than a quad. But rates vary between operators, and the per-vehicle rather than per-person pricing structure is worth explaining clearly before booking.
Our buggy rates, in detail
At Agafay Ride, buggy pricing is set per vehicle and per slot, not per hour or per person. The Solo Buggy (individual vehicle, 1 person) is €150 per session. The Tandem Buggy (two-seater, 2 people) is €160 per session — so €80 per person for two, which remains the most economical package.
Unlike the quad, billed by the hour (€50/h solo, €60/h tandem), the buggy is offered on a fixed time slot. This means you have the entire slot without time pressure — the guide adapts the pace and route to the day's conditions.

What's included in the price
The displayed price is the final price, with no hidden surcharge. Here's what it covers:
- Return transfer from your hotel or riad in Marrakech (~30–45 min depending on address)
- Solo or tandem buggy depending on the chosen package
- Helmet and safety harness for each passenger
- Safety briefing and familiarisation before departure
- Guide leading the convoy from start to finish
Why the buggy costs more than the quad
The price gap between the quad (€50–60/hour) and the buggy (€150–160/session) is explained by the nature of the vehicle itself: a buggy is a four-wheeled machine with integrated roll cage, bucket seats and harnesses, significantly more expensive to acquire and maintain than a quad.
The format is also different: where the quad is billed by the hour with limited duration, the buggy is offered on a full time slot that gives more time on the trails. In terms of duration-to-sensation ratio, the gap is justified for those seeking a more sporty and immersive experience.
Solo Buggy or Tandem Buggy: which to choose
The Solo Buggy (€150) reserves an individual vehicle — you're alone at the wheel, with full control over pace and sensations. This is the package favoured by those who want to push the sensations further than on a quad.
The Tandem Buggy (€160) seats two people on the same vehicle: one drives, the other enjoys as a passenger, with the option to swap roles during a break. At €80 per person, it's the most popular package and the best value for money.
How to compare buggy offers in Agafay

- Actual time on the trails — some packages count the transfer in the advertised time
- The type of vehicle — a proper buggy with roll cage is nothing like a quad with a light body shell
- What's included — transfer, safety equipment, insurance: a low price can hide extras
| Package | Price | Capacity | Time slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo Buggy | €150 / session | 1 person | 10am, 2pm, 4pm |
| Tandem Buggy | €160 / session (€80/person) | 2 people | 10am, 2pm, 4pm |
| Solo Quad (reference) | €50 / hour | 1 person | 10am, 2pm, 4pm |
| Tandem Quad (reference) | €60 / hour | 2 people | 10am, 2pm, 4pm |
The buggy is often seen as "too expensive" compared to the quad, but the direct comparison isn't fair: you're not comparing a full time slot to an hourly rate. For two in a Tandem Buggy at €80 per person, the gap with a Tandem Quad at €60/hour becomes much more reasonable — and the sensations are incomparably stronger. If you're hesitating, the Tandem Buggy remains the best value in the buggy range.
