Buggy Tours In Tenerife

A guided drive in an open two seat off-road vehicle, where you drive your own buggy behind a local guide along a planned route. In Tenerife the routes go along the southwest coast with a short off-road section, up through the national park toward Mount Teide, or through the green north from Puerto de la Cruz. Club Canary compares every buggy tour on the island on one page.

No. Private buggy hire without a guide is not available in Tenerife. Every buggy tour is guided: you drive your own buggy, the guide leads the convoy, sets the pace and stops at the viewpoints. If you want the same idea with a roof and four seats, Club Canary also offers a self-drive Jeep tour that follows a guide in the same way.

For most guests of Club Canary it is the Buggy Safari in the south: real off-road action, coastal views, free pickup and the most reviews. If your dream is Teide, the Top Buggy route into the national park is the one. If you stay in the north, the Buggy Trip from Puerto de la Cruz saves you the drive across the island.

Yes. The driver needs a valid full car driving licence and must bring it on the day. The minimum age differs per tour, from 18 on some routes to 21 on others, and some operators ask for one or two years on the licence. A UK provisional licence is not accepted. Passengers do not need a licence.

Yes, as passengers. Each tour has its own minimum age or height for passengers, listed on the tour page. For a family that wants to ride together, the Tenerife Ultimate Buggy has a 4 seat buggy, and the self-drive Jeep tour takes up to four people in one car.

Only partly. The Buggy Safari in the south has a real off-road section with dust and sand. The Teide routes and the north route run on sealed mountain roads because the national park does not allow off-road driving, so those are about scenery and altitude rather than dirt. Club Canary says on every tour page which one it is.

Fast enough to be fun, not fast enough to be scary. The buggies are automatic and the guide sets the pace, usually between 45 and 65 km/h depending on the route. The off-road parts are slower and bumpier, the mountain roads smoother.

Comfortable clothes you do not mind getting dusty, closed shoes, sunglasses and sun protection. Bring a jacket for the Teide routes, it gets cold at altitude even in summer. Goggles are provided on the off-road tours. Leave white clothes at the hotel.

Some do. The Buggy Safari and the Top Buggy include free hotel pickup in the south of Tenerife. The other tours meet at a fixed point in Las Américas, Playa Paraíso, Costa Adeje or Puerto de la Cruz. The exact meeting point is on your e-ticket, and Club Canary helps you choose the easiest option for your hotel.

Yes. The Buggy Trip from Puerto de la Cruz starts in the north and drives through the green side of the island with a banana farm stop and panoramic viewpoints. It is the right choice if you stay in Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava or Santa Cruz, with no need to cross the island first.

Yes. Buggy tours work very well for company outings, incentive trips and birthday or stag groups. Club Canary checks buggy numbers across the different operators, arranges group discounts, and can combine the buggy day with boats, jet skis or an evening show. Message us with your group size and date.

Because we compare them all and tell you honestly which one fits. Club Canary is a licensed local booking agent in Costa Adeje, not the operator, so we recommend by location, group and budget rather than by commission. Every booking comes with a Best Price Guarantee, a confirmed e-ticket, and a real person to call every day if something changes.

Bring your physical licence card if you can, that is accepted everywhere. A digital licence is accepted by most operators when it can be checked live in the official app of your country together with your passport. A photo or screenshot of a licence is not enough, because the buggies drive on public roads and the police can ask the driver for it. Non-EU licences such as Malaysian, American, Canadian or Australian are accepted when the card is in Latin letters; bringing an International Driving Permit as well is the safe option. All buggies are automatic, so an automatic-only licence is fine. Anyone without a licence can still join as a passenger.
