Quad & Buggy Tour at Teide
Explore the volcanic landscape of Teide National Park on a thrilling guided buggy tour. Race across lava fields, dust trails and mountain tracks at altitude, with views that stretch across the entire island. Perfect for adventure lovers and groups looking for something different.
Off the tarmac and into the real Tenerife
The resorts are tidy. This is not. Point a quad or buggy up a dirt track into the hills and Tenerife turns wild fast, loose volcanic gravel, pine forest, viewpoints that drop away to the sea. You bounce, you slide, you get covered in dust, and you grin the entire way. It is the most fun you can have getting properly filthy on this island.
What the tour is like
A guide leads a convoy along trails that normal cars never touch, stopping at viewpoints for photos and a breather. You drive your own quad or share a buggy, and there is a briefing first so beginners feel steady before you set off. Expect dramatic scenery, a bit of adrenaline, and a lot of laughing over the engine noise.
Who it is for
Anyone who likes a bit of grit with their sightseeing. It is brilliant for couples, friends and stag or hen groups. Line up more adrenaline with a jet ski session, or go up high instead with tandem paragliding.
Before you go
Wear clothes and shoes you do not mind getting dusty, and bring sunglasses. There is a minimum age and usually a driving licence requirement to drive a quad yourself, though passengers and buggies are more flexible. Your guide sets the pace.
What's included
- Drive through Teide lava fields
