About this tour
Take the wheel of your own 800cc buggy through Gran Canaria's Fataga Natural Park on this self-drive adventure. Over two hours, you'll navigate paved roads to the Pedro González viewpoint for panoramic shots, then drop down through bamboo groves and cacti-studded valleys before tackling red-dirt off-road tracks. The route balances scenic stops with genuine dirt-flinging sections—bring your own momentum and a valid driving licence.
Highlights
- Drive your own automatic two-seater buggy solo or with your group
- Pedro González viewpoint with valley panoramas across the park
- Bamboo and prickly pear descent through narrow gullies
- Off-road dirt track sections for genuine terrain driving
- Cross-protection goggles and insurance included throughout
- Hotel pickup available; no sharing vehicles with strangers
What to expect
You'll pilot an automatic buggy—no manual shifts to juggle. Start on tarmac winding toward the Pedro González mirador; pause there to shoot the valley. Then the road tightens: you'll thread between bamboo stems and descend past cactus patches, feeling the landscape close in. The final stretch shifts to loose dirt track where you'll feel the buggy work under you, dust rising as you carve through natural terrain. It's rough enough to feel real, controlled enough to stay safe. Two hours total, with the actual driving rhythm broken by the viewpoint stop.
