About this tour
When Sarah from our BugBitten team took this motorcycle tour through Anaga Rural Park and Tenerife's laurel forest, she found herself on some genuinely stunning mountain roads that don't appear in the standard guidebook loop. You're riding premium Voge bikes (900cc and 525cc options) through dramatic cliffside terrain, ancient forests, and stops with proper Atlantic views. The tour runs six-and-a-half hours, mixing technical riding with landscape that justifies the hype — this is the wilder, greener side of the island that most resort tourists never clock.
Highlights
- Ride premium Voge motorcycles on roads carved through dramatic Anaga cliffs
- Navigate laurel forest sections unchanged for centuries
- Stop at panoramic Atlantic Ocean viewpoints along the route
- Escape the typical Tenerife tour corridor entirely
- Local guide knows the backroad quirks and best photo moments
- Protective gear and helmets supplied — one less thing to sort
- Mountain scenery that shifts from windswept peaks to dense green
What to expect
You'll spend the morning on a bike you've actually been briefed on properly, not some dodgy rental. The route takes you into Anaga's rural park where the landscape genuinely feels untouched — it's steep, twisty, and requires some focus, but the guide won't push beyond your comfort level. Expect stops to catch your breath, take photos, and let the enormity of the cliffs sink in. The laurel forest section is surreal: cool, thick vegetation, and roads that feel like they're weaving through a protected relic.
Sarah noted the pacing worked — you're not flat-out racing; the guide reads the group and adjusts. Coffee and water breaks are built in, which matters when you're concentrating on riding. By mid-tour your forearms know they've been working, but that's the trade-off for roads most people never find.

Good to know
This is genuinely off-the-beaten-path Tenerife, not a theme-park version. If you're a confident rider or keen to get proper road time on quality bikes, this delivers. The gear's included, the guide's local knowledge actually matters, and you'll see landscape that makes typical island tours feel tame. Small groups means the guide can adjust on the fly.
This isn't for nervous riders or anyone who hasn't spent time on a motorbike — the roads are real mountain passes, not cruise routes. Six-and-a-half hours in the saddle is full-body work; check your back and neck can handle it before booking. The tour excludes meals, so fuel yourself beforehand. Not suitable if you're pregnant, have spinal issues, or cardiovascular concerns. Weather matters — mountain conditions change fast. Bring sun protection and layers; altitude and wind shift the temperature. Group size varies; expect a handful of fellow riders, not a solo experience.
