Safety Briefing for Buggy and Quad Bike Tours in Gudauri

SkyAtlantida › Activities › Buggy & quad tours › Safety briefing

Important Before the Tour Starts

Buggy and quad bike tours take place on mountain and off-road terrain where route conditions may change quickly because of rocks, slopes, drop-offs, water, mud, snow, dust, and weather.

By paying a deposit and confirming a booking, you confirm that you reviewed this page and agree to follow these rules.
The person operating the vehicle accepts responsibility for careful and safe use of that vehicle.
For buggy driving, a valid category B driver’s license is required.
For quad bike driving, a driver’s license is not required, but the rider must be at least 16 years old.
Guests aged 16-17 may participate only with prior approval and with an adult responsible for them.
On arrival, participating drivers sign an additional responsibility form and must have valid ID with them.

For that reason, guests should understand in advance the group movement logic, the driver requirements, the required distance between vehicles, the right way to pass oncoming vehicles, and the need to follow instructor directions at all times.

Core Safety Rules

Safety briefing is mandatory

Every participant must attend the briefing before the start and follow the rules for the full route.

Sober condition only

Participation under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any other impairing substance is not allowed.

Distance is mandatory

A safe gap must be kept between vehicles, usually at least 15-20 meters unless the on-site briefing requires otherwise.

Speed must stay controlled

Speed must be reduced in advance on wet, rocky, dusty, narrow, steep, or otherwise difficult sections.

Dangerous maneuvers are prohibited

Aggressive riding, risky turns, sharp drifting, and other unsafe maneuvers are not allowed.

Only the approved driver may operate

Only the person approved before the start and signed into the responsibility form may operate the vehicle.

Protective equipment is required

Helmets are provided and must be worn. Closed shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are also required. Extra gear can be rented through our Gudauri rental page.

Stop when instructed

If you are told to stop, slow down, or change your position in the group, you must do so immediately.

How Group Movement Is Managed

Ride only on the established route

Route

Guests may not leave the route, cut across sections, or change direction on their own. Some areas can be rocky, steep, or exposed.

Instructors control the movement

Escort

Depending on group size, one instructor may ride in front, or the group may be managed from both front and rear. They control the movement logic.

Stay right on oncoming sections

Passing

If another vehicle is approaching, reduce speed early, move to the right, and pass calmly following instructor guidance.

Admission Conditions and Key Limits

For buggy driving

The driver must hold a valid category B driving licence (proof that you can drive a car). Before the ride, the driver signs a document accepting full responsibility for the vehicle. Only the person who signed it may drive — one driver per buggy, everyone else rides as a passenger. Swapping seats or handing the wheel to a passenger is not allowed. Previous buggy driving experience is not required.

For quad bike driving

A driver’s license is not required for quad bike driving. The minimum driver age is 16.

Guests aged 16-17

Guests aged 16-17 may participate only with prior approval and with an adult responsible for them.

Responsibility form

Before the tour starts, drivers sign a form confirming that they understand the rules and accept responsibility for operating the vehicle.

ID must be carried

Guests should bring valid ID to the location. For buggy driving, the driver’s license must also be available.

Weather and route changes

The route, duration, and riding pace may change according to weather, visibility, and terrain condition.

Insurance Recommendation

Guests should have suitable insurance

We strongly recommend arriving with a valid insurance policy that covers active outdoor experiences and adventure activities in Georgia.
