About this tour
Pilot your own 4x4 buggy through the whitewashed villages and scrubland hills of Mijas, just inland from Málaga's coast. This one-hour off-road adventure swaps beach scenery for rugged mountain terrain, giving you genuine control of the vehicle as you navigate dirt tracks and rocky paths. A guide accompanies you throughout, handling logistics while you focus on the driving experience.

What to expect
You'll meet at the Rangers Safari Tours base and receive a safety briefing before climbing into your buggy. The route takes you away from developed areas into the hills surrounding Mijas, where you'll navigate uneven ground, dust clouds, and tight turns. It's not technically difficult driving, but requires focus and moderate fitness; the vehicle bounces and jolts throughout. Allow time to get properly dirty. The guide stays with your group to monitor safety and point out landmarks, and you'll have water stops built in.
Good to know
Bring a valid driving licence and wear sturdy closed shoes—trainers or boots, not sandals or heels. Arrive on time so the guide can deliver the full route. Expect considerable dust on clothes and gear. Not suitable if pregnant, with spinal issues, or cardiovascular concerns. Infants can ride in specialised seats.
