We booked our 2 teenage sons onto a 2hr quad biking session after being recommended to try it by friends and our lads absolutely loved it. Gavin was really friendly and professional and we felt reassured that our boys were in safe hands. Our sons really enjoyed riding the quad bikes on the trails in the national park and learning about the local area from Gavin who is very knowledgeable. They greatly appreciated the cooling swim in the beautiful blue lake half way round and they are keen to return for another trip next time we visit our friends in the area. We are very happy to recommend Gavin and all the team at La Mariposa Hotel where we enjoyed a delicious and very reasonably priced lunch as a family.

Amazing experience, fantastic out of this world food and service, gorgeous setting, definitely worth a consideration to stay a night or two to take it all in…
We did the two hour quad biking adventure on double quads with two teens under 16, so as passengers.
Gavin was funny and knowledgeable and took everyone’s safety and well-being very very carefully and with respect.
Easy to book, easy to find (when you follow the Hotel Mariposa!!! We didn’t by complete mistake and followed the Sierra espuna mountain range 😂)
If you want a day out, this is defiantly one to consider with two alternative routes for less experienced or more experienced quad bike riders.
Plenty of sun cream and water and so much fun…
Swim in the lake half way if you want to cool down and clean up - dusty, face masks handy for this!!
Helmets provided!!!

Absolutely brilliant!!
What a really great experience from start to finish. We booked the quad biking trip and an overnight stay in the hotel mariposa. The quad biking tour was ran by Gavin who was professional and friendly and made sure everyone was happy and safe during the tour. Afterwards we had dinner in the restaurant, the food was really good and lucy the waitress was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and it was refreshing to see someone who actually enjoyed their job. The Espuna adventure and hotel mariposa is a really relaxed, fun and enjoyable experience that we will 100% be back again. The owners of this business should be really proud of their staff and services.

Great tour with gavin as personable, helpful and professional guide. 2 hours with spectacular scenery. Would definitely recommend to others and the menu del dia at the end (which was included in the price) was just delicious. Thanks for a great excursion.

I cannot rate this place, it’s staff, excursion or food highly enough. I am completely blown away with what a fantastic professional set up this is. I am not easily impressed but this place knows exactly what they are doing and they run like clockwork. Do not hesitate to book with them you will not be disappointed. Leisurely couple of hours quad biking and taking in spectacular scenery with exceptionally professional guides. Just book it’s fabulous safety and value. Wonderful part of our holiday.

How unfortunate, what a beautiful area and great potential. Me and a friend, took a wrong turn and we where 20 minutes late for a 2 hour Quad session. No phone call asking where we were. (Lost in the mountains). We put our hands up and explained we where late once arriving, it’s understandable they started the session with out us. No worries.
I leave the 1 star review due to the customer service. What abysmal customer service. We where greeted with nothing but aggression and a feel for us to just leave and not come back. No offer to sit in the restaurant and enjoy some food, nothing. We where obviously upset for missing the trip however the day could have been saved if we where treated with an ounce of hospitality.
Just another money grabbing experience, no interest in forming a relationship for a return visit.
I would advise if you are after the relaxing, tranquil atmosphere. Then this is not the place to visit.

This is the second time we have been to The Espuna adventure and stayed at the Hotel Mariposa and it did not disappoint. The activities were fantastic. River rafting was great fun we thoroughly enjoyed it and the quad biking a new experience also enjoyed very much. The homemade food was awesome and plenty of it. Thanks to Tom, (chef, waiter and barmen) and the lovely dancing waitress Lucy.

Fantastic. 2 hour quad bike tour around espuna national park, barrancos de gebas. Incl lunch 65 euro
Friendly staff. Brad our guide explained safety procedures ensuring confident to proceed. Great scenery, exciting and followed by a great lunch. Now feel I'm a qualified biker chick. Lol
Also do music nights, walking tours and much more. menu del dia. Sunday lunches. Closed wednesdays. Free wifi.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day. If you fancy something different with fabulous views give it a try.

We went for Valentines Sunday lunch. Food was nice but the real enjoyment was in the service. Our waitress, Lucy was so attentive and couldnt do enough, all with a great sense of humour, accidentally offering us black forest ghetto 😂. Prices extremely reasonable too. All covid precautions in place and it seemed they were also dog friendly.

Not one to write a bad review often but feel others should be made aware of this companies attitude should a problem arise with your booking. I cannot comment on the hotel or the actual quad biking experience as sadly we never made our booking (which was to celebrate my husbands 50th) due to a very stressful few days. This was made so much worse by the attitude, lack of understanding & communication of this company who treated us like uneducated tourists who had deliberately planned for the misfortune. I actually work within the travel industry so am pretty well travelled & know the industry well.
Not only were we charged for the missed tour (which we completely accept!) we were also charged for one extra quad which we had previously cancelled and for the additional people we had added for the dinner reservation after ! I have never heard of being charged 15euro per person for a cancelled restaurant reservation !?!.
Personally I would be very cautious if you book with this company.
