About this tour
Steer your own buggy across Lanzarote's volcanic terrain north of Costa Teguise. This 2.5-hour self-drive tour winds through remote villages—Guatiza, el Mojón, Teseguite, las Nieves—on tracks few visitors find. Small groups (max 6 buggies) mean you navigate at your own pace with a guide leading the way. Dust, silence, and genuinely empty landscapes replace the resort crowds.
Highlights
- Self-drive buggy through volcanic badlands north of Lanzarote
- Remote villages and dirt tracks untouched by tour-bus routes
- Small group cap keeps things intimate and flexible
- Dust glasses and water provided; minimal hand-holding
- Desert scenery without the slog on foot
What to expect
You'll pick up your buggy, get a safety briefing, then set off behind the guide vehicle. The route loops through sparse settlements and rough terrain—expect washboard tracks, tight turns, and clouds of red dust. Your guide knows the way but won't babysit; you're responsible for staying on course and keeping pace. The landscape shifts from coastal scrub to open moorland with views back to the ridge. Two and a half hours of actual driving time means your arms and neck will feel it. Bring sunscreen and expect to arrive sweaty and caked in dust.
Good to know
Valid driving licence (minimum 2 years experience) is mandatory. Closed shoes required—flip-flops won't cut it. Passengers must be at least 135cm tall. Not suitable if you have spinal issues or are pregnant. Transport to the start costs €5 extra per person; buses serve Costa Teguise.
