Who it is for

  • Riders who want to see both the interior and the ocean on one holiday
  • Riders still finding their feet off-road: no previous experience needed
  • Anyone who would rather end the day by the sea than in the dust

What to expect

This expedition has two faces. It starts in the Spanish interior, where the gravel is dusty, long and empty, and you ride for hours without meeting a car. And it ends on the Portuguese coast, where the same kind of track winds along the cliffs with the Atlantic pounding below you. The difference between the first day and the last is so stark that the photographs look like two separate trips.

That change is the best thing about it. Dry inland dust gives way to salt air, rock gives way to sand, and the evening beer comes with a view over the water. After a day in the dirt, it is exactly what you want.

You will cope with the terrain even if you have never ridden it. Four instructors look after a maximum of eight riders, everyone has an Interphone and hears what is waiting round the next bend. We build the route around the group. If somebody does not fancy a technical section, they ride around it and nobody makes a fuss.

What is and is not in the price

The price covers bike hire (insured, minimal excess), all fuel, the instructors and airport transfers both ways. You can swap machines with the instructors during the week, and they all speak English.

Flights, accommodation and meals are not included. We are happy to arrange all of them for you.

We book the accommodation for you: a single room costs from €40 per person per night, a twin or larger room from €20.

Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Arrival and bike handover

    We meet at the airport, transfer to base and introduce you to your bike. We set up the kit and Interphone, then ride a shakedown loop.

  2. Day 2

    Spanish gravel

    An easy first day inland. Loose tracks, rock, throttle control and standing position. The instructor rides ahead of you and calls what is coming over the Interphone.

  3. Day 3

    Towards the border

    The longest stage. The landscape shifts, the tracks bend west, and by evening you can smell the ocean for the first time.

  4. Day 4

    The Portuguese coast

    Routes above the cliffs, sandy sections and stops where the Atlantic breaks below you. The photos from this day end up on people's walls.

  5. Day 5

    Routes by ability

    We split into two groups, relaxed and technical. In the afternoon we wash and hand back the bikes.

  6. Day 6

    Flight home

    Transfer to the airport. Photos and video land in a shared gallery.

FAQ

What is included in the price of an expedition?

Hire of an insured motorcycle (you can swap bikes with the instructors along the way), all fuel, the instructors and airport transfers both ways. Flights, accommodation and meals are not included, but we are happy to arrange them for you. Most expeditions last 6 days (4 riding days), the Portuguese ones 7 days, and Spain can also be ridden as 8 days.

What is not included in the price of an expedition?

Flights, accommodation and meals. Budget for them on top; we are happy to arrange all of them, but they are paid separately. What you do get in the price is hire of an insured motorcycle, all fuel, the instructors and airport transfers both ways.

Do I have to find accommodation for the expedition myself?

No, we arrange it for you, it is simply paid separately. As a rough guide, reckon on about 80 EUR per person per night in a single room and 40 EUR in a shared one, and about 40 and 20 EUR on Spain and Portugal. We confirm the exact price when you book, as it varies with the destination and the date.

How demanding are the expeditions?

We build the routes around the level of the group. We ride at the pace of the slowest rider and nobody is pushed. Previous off-road experience is not needed; riders who have only ever been on tarmac manage perfectly well.

Can I manage an expedition without any off-road experience?

Yes, no experience is needed, we teach you everything. All you need is a motorcycle licence. We adapt the routes to your wishes and riding level. Our expeditions have been ridden by a man who had just passed his test, by a woman with zero off-road experience and by an 11-year-old beginner.

How long does an expedition last?

A standard expedition lasts 6 days, of which 4 are riding days. For Spain, and for Spain with Portugal, you can also choose the longer 8-day version (6 riding days). The Portuguese expeditions (Euphoria, Freedom) last 7 days, of which 5 are riding days.

Can I hire a motorcycle from you?

Yes. We have the largest BMW test fleet in the Czech Republic and bike hire is part of most courses and expeditions. All bikes are insured with a minimal excess. You are also welcome to come on your own machine.

Do you lend me a motorcycle, or do I have to bring my own?

It differs from service to service. Experience rides: we lend the bikes, you go through five of them during the ride. Off-road training: 5 500 CZK on your own bike, 8 800 CZK with our BMW. Weekend off-road training: 13 000 CZK on your own, 18 000 CZK with our BMW. Private race track training: you ride your own motorcycle, ours can be arranged in advance for an extra charge. Private off-road training: bike hire is included. Expeditions: the bike and all fuel are included.
