The Route You Book: North Tenerife

If you are spending your holiday in Puerto de la Cruz and want more than the beach and old town, this buggy tour is one of the more exciting and easy choices.

It is a fun, social way to explore places like Icod and the green north of the island without worrying about the route, fuel or parking, guided the whole way by a local team, and one of the standout north Tenerife excursions for families.

Club Canary's Honest Take
Real talk from your local team in the Canary Islands
This is the easy way to explore the green north of Tenerife from Puerto de la Cruz. You start locally, drive your own buggy behind a guide, and skip the long transfer from the south. The route we run most days is the north coast, the countryside and a Canarian banana farm, finishing at an Orotava Valley viewpoint.
Two honest things. It is a small fleet, so buggies sell out in busy periods, book ahead. And it is self-drive, so you need a licence and closed shoes, and you make your own way to the base. Sharing a buggy is the cheaper way to ride, and a group of up to 8 can book in one go.
Drive the green north the fun way and make the day legendary.
