The experience

You drive your own buggy for the entire 3 hours, staying in convoy behind the guide through villages and across the volcanic landscape that defines northern Lanzarote. The route passes through Guatiza, Teseguite, Charco del Palo, Cocoteros and Mala: a sequence this operator runs and no other does. You'll see the old quarry of Tinamala along the way. Goggles are provided to keep dust out, and you bring a jacket for the wind and sun exposure.

The pace is set by the guide ahead, so you're not navigating or deciding the route. You're operating the vehicle and taking in the terrain. A full driving licence held for at least two years is mandatory, and the minimum height requirement is 1.35 metres (roughly 12 years old). Suitable for all fitness levels, though the activity is not recommended for travellers with spinal injuries or pregnant travellers. Bottled water is included to keep you hydrated during the drive.

Hotel pickup from Costa Teguise is included in the booking. The route may occasionally differ due to road closures, sporting events, roadworks or other circumstances beyond the operator's control. The itinerary is flexible to keep the tour running safely. Transport to the starting point costs an extra 5 euros per person if you're not already in Costa Teguise.
