About this tour
Pilot your own buggy across Lanzarote's most compelling terrain in three hours, navigating everything from volcanic badlands to coastal dune fields. Based from the Lanzarote Safaris centre, you'll thread through La Geria's wine region, skirt Timanfaya National Park, cross rust-coloured volcanic slopes with island views, and loop back via the southern resort towns. It's the kind of driving experience most holidays don't offer.

What to expect
You'll handle the buggy yourself through a mix of paved roads and rough tracks, starting from the Safaris centre. The route sweeps past La Geria's whitewashed bodegas, then climbs toward Timanfaya's edge where volcanic soils dominate. Expect jarring terrain as you cross the red volcanic zone near the coast—it's rough but navigable—before dropping into sand dunes and the small settlement of Soo. You'll stop for refreshment and photos partway through. The final leg smooths out as you return via the southern coastal strip. Dust and wind are constants; the pace alternates between steady driving and stationary viewing.
