Buggy Safari, Quick Facts
A Real Adventure, Not A Free-Roam Rental
The honest bit first: if you just want to rent a buggy and explore alone, this is different. A local guide leads the group and keeps you safe, and you drive at a steady, social pace behind them, with photo stops along the way. You start on a little road to reach the trails, then enjoy the off-road sections through the barrancos.
Expect dust, expect fun, and wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dirty. This is the wild, volcanic side of the island the resorts never show.
The Gran Canaria you miss from the coach 🏜️ The buggy safari takes you to viewpoints and back roads that most visitors never see, with time to stop and take it in.
Single, Double Or 4-Seater, You Choose
Riding alone, as a couple, or with the kids? You drive a modern automatic buggy, such as a Can-Am, easy to handle from the first minute. Licenced drivers who have held their licence for 2 years can swap once during the safari.
- For 1 rider: full control, all yours, the solo adventure.
- Deposit 20€, then 90€ on arrival.
- The couples pick: a 2-seater to ride together and swap the driver.
- Deposit 30€, then 90€ on arrival.
- The family pick: up to 4 in one buggy, swap allowed.
- Deposit 50€, then 170€ on arrival.
The South Coast Barrancos And Views
The route runs through the dry south of the island: barrancos, dusty tracks and open countryside, with photo stops at scenic viewpoints along the way. The coastline and the mountains alone make the 2 hours fly by.
You reach viewpoints and back roads a normal hire car never sees, and the buggies handle it all without breaking a sweat.
Yes, you will get dusty 😄 That is half the fun. Goggles are provided for the ride, and it is smart to bring your own buff or bandana for the off-road parts.

Where To Book A Buggy Tour In Gran Canaria?
Book direct with a real local team instead of a faceless platform. With Club Canary a single buggy is often cheaper than the big booking sites, backed by our Best Price Guarantee, and booking more than 2 buggies saves you 10€ to 15€ per buggy, applied automatically. You reserve with a small deposit, pay the rest on the day, and real people who know the island answer your WhatsApp.
Book Local, Ride The Island Responsibly
Club Canary only works in the Canary Islands, and we care about them. The barrancos stay beautiful when buggy tours are run the right way, so we work with a local partner who holds the proper licences and runs the routes in a safe, organised, eco-friendly way. Book with people who care about the island, and everyone wins, you and the island.
And wherever your trip takes you, there is a Club Canary buggy adventure waiting: many tours to choose from on our home island with Buggy-Touren auf Teneriffa, popular Lanzarote buggies with routes near the Timanfaya volcanoes, and the road-and-off-road Fuerteventura buggy safari in the south. A buggy tour in La Palma is coming soon too.
Make it a proper adventure week: do the buggy safari one day, then the Blue M VIP whale watching boat trip on another. Both are small-group and fill up fast in summer, or ask us on WhatsApp and we plan your dates together.

Do I need a driving licence to drive a buggy in Gran Canaria?
Yes. To drive a buggy in Gran Canaria you must hold a valid car licence that you have had for at least 2 years, and you must bring the original licence with you on the day. This is a legal requirement, so please do not forget it, as drivers without it cannot take part.
How long is the buggy tour and what time does it start?
The buggy safari lasts around 2.5 hours and departs at 10:00, so you are usually back by about 12:30. The time includes a safety briefing, driving practice, and photo stops along the route.
Is the buggy tour guided, or can I drive wherever I want?
It is a guided safari. You drive your own buggy in a group and follow a lead guide who knows the safest and most scenic route through the south of Gran Canaria. This keeps everyone safe and means you still see the best spots without getting lost. It is an adventure at a steady, fun pace, not a free-for-all race.
Is the tour on-road or off-road?
It is a mix of both. You drive some sealed road to reach the trails, then enjoy the off-road tracks through the barrancos and countryside. The off-road parts are the fun, dusty highlight, so expect to get a little dirty.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear comfortable clothes you do not mind getting dusty and closed-toe shoes, as flip-flops are not allowed. Bring your original driving licence, sunglasses, and sun cream. Goggles for the dust are provided, and many guests like to bring a buff or bandana for their face.

Children can join as passengers when accompanied by an adult, subject to the operator's minimum age on the day. Only licenced adults who have held a car licence for at least 2 years may drive. It is a popular activity for families and works well for couples and groups of friends too.
Does the buggy tour run if it rains?
The buggy safari runs in most weather. If conditions become unsafe and the tour has to be cancelled, you can reschedule or get a full refund. Your safety always comes first.
Is the buggy safari suitable for beginners?

Real talk: a buggy safari is not a free-roam rental, it is a guided group ride, and knowing that up front is exactly what makes people love it. You follow a local guide to spots a normal car cannot reach, you get dusty, and you have a proper laugh. Bring the original licence, wear closed shoes, and you are set.
We are Canary Islands locals and we love these islands. Buggy tours are brilliant fun when they are run properly, with the right licences and respect for the land, so we work with a partner who does exactly that. Book with a local team that cares, and everyone wins, you and the island.
