Lanzarote Buggy Tour Around Timanfaya

No, and no buggy does. Timanfaya National Park can only be entered on the official park coach, the Ruta de los Volcanes, which you buy at the park gate. No quad, hire car or private vehicle of any kind is allowed inside.

This Club Canary tour drives the public paved roads around the park, through the Natural Park of the Volcanoes that surrounds it, the crater country, the La Geria vineyards and the volcanic coast. Those are two different protected areas: the National Park is coach access only, the Natural Park around it is open road.

Our honest advice is to do both. Visit the National Park on its own morning, then take the buggy for the landscape, the craters and the freedom of driving it yourself. They are two different experiences and one does not replace the other.

You drive the scenic paved roads around Timanfaya National Park, through the crater country of the Natural Park of the Volcanoes, past traditional white villages, with a stop at the famous La Geria vineyards where vines grow in black volcanic ash inside curved stone walls.

The route also reaches the volcanic coast for a photo stop at Los Hervideros or El Golfo, where the Atlantic crashes through lava caves. Which of the two depends on the day.

The exact order can shift a little with weather, road conditions or local events like the Ironman, but the Club Canary guide always keeps it scenic.

No. This is a fully on-road scenic tour on smooth paved roads, so there is no dust, no rough terrain and no need for a bandana. The focus is the volcanic landscape and the views, driven at a relaxed pace.

If you want dirt tracks, dust and more speed, Club Canary runs that as a separate trip. See the Lanzarote bagi safari, which uses 2-seat off-road buggies including the Maverick Trail and the X3 Turbo.

Two different days out. Plenty of guests book both.

Up to 4 people ride together in one buggy, which suits a family, two couples or four friends. There is room for up to 2 drivers who can swap during the tour.

The price is per buggy, not per person, so a group of four shares the cost. A couple can also take a buggy to themselves and enjoy the extra space.

Booking for more than four? Club Canary simply reserves several buggies together, for example two buggies for a group of up to 8.

Each driver needs an original driving licence. That means a physical card, or a digital licence such as Gov.uk or DGT together with your physical passport or ID. Photos or copies alone are not accepted.

Drivers must be 21 or over and have held the licence for at least 2 years. Up to 2 people can drive one buggy.

Passengers, including children, can join from age 7. A child booster seat is provided when needed. No alcohol or drugs before driving.

The meeting point is near the camel and horse-riding centre by Yaiza, with free parking. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before departure. Standard departures run at 09:30 and 13:15.

Optional round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off is 5€ per person, paid on arrival, available from Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Puerto Calero. Pickup is usually about 35 minutes before your start time.

When booking, enter your hotel name rather than an address. If you are in an Airbnb, write the nearest hotel and the Club Canary team will confirm your exact point.

Included: your guided buggy seating up to 4, a professional local guide and convoy, the safety briefing and driving explanation, safety goggles, a child booster seat when needed, fuel, and full vehicle insurance with no security deposit.

Photos are free. The guide takes them on your own phone along the route, so there is nothing to buy afterwards.

Not included: entry to Timanfaya National Park, which is a separate visit on the official park coach, food and drinks, and the optional hotel pickup at 5€ per person.

Bring the original driving licence for each driver and your Club Canary ticket. Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, as flip-flops are not allowed for drivers.

Sunglasses and sun cream are worth having, and a light jacket is a good idea year-round because the buggy is open-top.

You do not need a bandana or old clothes for this tour, because it stays on paved roads and there is no dust. That is only needed on the off-road Lanzarote bagi safari.

The tour lasts about 2.5 hours including the briefing and the photo stops, so it leaves you most of the day free.

It works well for families. Children can ride from age 7, a parent drives, and everyone sits together in the same buggy. Because the route is on smooth paved roads rather than rough tracks, it is far gentler than an off-road trip.

It is not suitable for pregnant travellers or anyone with back or neck problems.

Yes. The price is per buggy, so a bigger group simply books several buggies together. It works well for a birthday, a stag or hen group, a family reunion or a company outing.

Club Canary can also arrange private buggy excursions and team-building days for larger groups.

Group availability shows in the booking calendar. For anything larger or tailored, message the Club Canary team with your group size and preferred date, or email events@clubcanary.com.

You reserve online with a small deposit and pay the balance on the day at the base, by cash or card. The deposit is part of the total price, not an extra.

All buggies are fully insured and no security deposit is required, so nothing is blocked on your card.

Club Canary applies a Best Price Guarantee on this tour, so you never pay more than booking elsewhere.

Cancel for free up to 48 hours before the tour, or up to 4 days before for bookings of 4 or more buggies.
After that: cancel 24 to 48 hours before and you lose the deposit only. Cancel 12 to 24 hours before and you lose the deposit plus 60€ per buggy. Cancel under 12 hours before, fail to show up or arrive too late, and you lose the deposit and still pay 90% of the balance, because the buggy and guide are reserved and paid for your group either way.
The only exception is a doctor or hospital letter dated the same day, and that covers the person who is ill rather than the whole group. If the operator cancels for unsafe weather, you choose a new date or a full refund.
