the quad
From age 6, up to 14.
Since the park was created in 1987, the quad has been the founding activity — the one that hooked the first visitors, and that now brings back their children. Four sand tracks designed for children and teens aged 6 to 14.
On arrival, the instructor gives the instructions on the practice circuit: steering, brakes, handling the sand, safety. Barriers line the track to cushion any run-offs. After a few practice laps, you move to one of the three other tracks — chosen for your age and level.
Careful on the sand: it slides fast, which is exactly what makes the activity fun. Enjoy!
the mini moto
Cross mini moto,
Cross mini moto,
for real riders.
A different format from the quad: the cross mini moto on sand takes some skill. A few laps on the practice circuit with the instructor, then you ride according to your level.
For ages 8+ — open to children, teens and adults. Falls are easy on the sand, you scrape and burn your calves quickly: trousers and closed shoes are essential, come well equipped.
- Automatic vehicles — no need to know how to use a clutch.
- One person per vehicle — no doubling up, for safety.
- Approved helmet provided — you can bring your own if it meets the standards.
the strengths
Why it's worked since 1987
Landes sand tracks
Four circuits built on the sand typical of the southern Landes coast — it slides, it launches, it's what makes the place special.
Safe closed circuit
Barriers along the track edge to cushion run-offs — you ride in a closed, controlled space, never on an open road.
Automatic vehicles
Quads and motos with automatic transmission — no need to know how to declutch or change gears, you accelerate and brake.
Level-by-level progression
The four tracks are graded by difficulty — you move up as the instructor validates your riding.
First thrills
The perfect activity for a first ride — those who started with us at age 8 come back with their own kids. A great birthday idea.
how it works
From welcome to first slide
Twenty minutes to get set up, then track time — plan for one short session per child, and don't forget the trousers and closed shoes.
Welcome & kit
The instructor gives you an approved helmet, checks your outfit (trousers and closed shoes required), and explains how the vehicle works.
Briefing & rules
A hands-on demo: throttle, brake, riding on sand, direction of travel. A quick Q&A to check everyone's understood.
Practice circuit
A few laps on the training circuit under the instructor's eye — they check you've got the basics before letting you onto the other tracks.
Free tracks
Depending on age and level, the instructor sends you to one of the three other tracks — longer, more technical, more relaunches.
frequently asked
Before you hit the throttle
From what age can my child ride a quad or moto?
The quad is open from age 6 up to 14. The cross mini moto starts at 8 and stays open to teens and adults. Note: the quad is reserved for children and teens — over 14, it's the moto.
What should I wear?
You need trousers (no shorts) and closed shoes. Falls are easy on the sand, and you scrape or burn your calves quickly if you're not well covered. The helmet is provided by our team.
Can two people ride the same machine?
No, one person per vehicle. For safety and weight distribution — everyone their own quad, everyone their own moto.
Do I need riding experience to sign up?
Not at all: our instructors supervise and advise you. All vehicles are automatic — no need to change gears. The circuits are graded so you can progress at your own pace.
Can I bring my own helmet?
Yes, as long as it carries the approval standard. Otherwise we lend you ours — well disinfected between each use.
What are the peak-season hours?
Note: in July-August, the quad and moto activity does not open in the morning — only from 2 pm. This is due to noise and heat constraints for the machines. In mid-season, the hours are wider.

« My 7-year-old son did his first quad session on the sand tracks of Moliets. A supervised introduction led by an instructor, helmet and gloves provided — he still talks about it. »

★★★★★
« A long-standing quad activity at the park since 1987, and it shows: perfectly maintained tracks, very good instructors. Ideal after a morning of tree climbing. »

★★★★★
« Quad from age 6 in Moliets, that's rare. My youngest dared to drive under the instructor's watchful eye — an unforgettable memory. The Landes in riding mode, we love it. »
