A valid driving licence with at least two years experience is required to book.

The experience

So you actually get to drive the thing yourself. That's the whole point, and yeah, it changes how the tour feels. You're not sitting in a passenger seat watching someone else navigate the volcanic roads around Costa Teguise. Instead, you're behind the wheel of your own buggy, following the guide in convoy through Guatiza, El Mojon, Teseguite and Las Nieves. The route is something the company runs exclusively, which means you won't see the same tracks everyone else is doing. Two hours sounds short until you're actually out there on the terrain, dust flying, trying to keep pace with the vehicle ahead while the landscape shifts from one volcanic formation to the next.

The old quarry at Tinamala is one of the stops. It's the kind of place that makes you realize how much of Lanzarote's geology is right there in front of you, not hidden behind a museum wall. Goggles come with the tour, which is necessary because the dust is real, and you'll want a jacket even if it's warm when you start. Bring water too, though they include bottled water, so you're not completely on your own out there. The whole thing moves at a pace that works for different drivers. It's not a race, but it's not a crawl either. You need a full driving licence with at least two years on it, and if you're traveling with kids, they need to be at least 1.35 meters tall (usually around 12 years old) to ride along.

One thing worth knowing: the route can change. Sporting events, road closures, repairs, stuff beyond anyone's control, might mean you're not hitting exactly the spots listed. It's not a refund situation if that happens, so go in knowing the company's working with what's open on the day. Still, even if the specific villages shift around, you're getting the same experience: driving your own buggy through volcanic Lanzarote with a guide who knows where the terrain is stable and where it gets interesting.
