Dune Buggy Tour Gran Canaria: What to Expect

Many people search for dune buggy tours in Gran Canaria, but it’s important to know how it works: buggy tours DO NOT drive inside protected dunes areas.

Instead, you’ll experience:

Off-road dirt tracks
Mountain routes
Coastal landscapes

This is why buggy tours are often called a buggy safari experience!

Where to Do a Buggy Tour in Gran Canaria (Maspalomas & Puerto Rico)

All buggy tours start in the south of Gran Canaria and head towards the inland areas of the island: there are no buggy tours gran canaria, departing from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria or the nearby.

We offer different routes depending on the experience you choose, including 100% off-road tracks and mixed routes combining off-road and scenic roads.

Important to know: the 2-seater and 4 seater buggy tours follow exactly the same itinerary, so you can choose the vehicle that best suits your group without changing the experience. All tours operate with a “follow the leader” system: a guide drives at the front and sets the route, while guests follow in their own buggy (2, 3 or 4 seats). Pickup is always available if your hotel or accomodation is located in the south area of Gran Canaria, beetween Bahia Feliz and Puerto de Mogán.

Amazing Buggy Experience – Highly Recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I did the Buggy Pirates tour on 29th May and it was one of the most amazing and crazy experiences I have ever had! I enjoyed every single moment.from Flora & Anna Ireland 🇮🇪

The whole team was incredible — friendly, helpful and very supportive.

A special thank you to Alicia, who helped find my lost top that supports Irish Cancer. It means so much to me and I really appreciate her kindness and help.

Thank you Buggy Pirates for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it!

Una pasada 🤩

Lo hemos pasado super fantastico: muchas gracias a todos y hasta la proxima 🚜🤠

Meer stilstaan dan rijden

We hebben onlangs een buggytocht gedaan op Gran Canaria met gemengde gevoelens.

Het ophalen en afzetten bij het hotel verliep netjes op tijd en volgens afspraak, wat een goed begin was. Bij aankomst kregen we echter een 4-persoons buggy in plaats van de geboekte 2-persoons variant. Uiteindelijk hadden we wel gewoon één buggy per twee personen (we waren met vier), dus dat was op zich prima opgelost.

De uitleg vooraf was erg minimaal. We kregen eigenlijk alleen te horen dat we de buggy niet in de L-stand mochten zetten, maar verdere instructies ontbraken. Tijdens de tocht reden we in een groep van zes buggy’s, met een gids voorop op een quad. Hij reed voorzichtig en hield ons goed in de gaten, wat in het begin prettig was om even te wennen.

Helaas bleef het tempo gedurende de hele tocht erg laag. Na bijna elke bocht werd er gestopt zodat iedereen weer kon aansluiten, waardoor we telkens tot stilstand kwamen. Hierdoor hebben we eigenlijk nergens echt lekker kunnen doorrijden, wat wel onze verwachting was van een buggy-ervaring.

Halverwege kreeg de gids pech met zijn quad en moest hij overstappen in een buggy. Alsof dat nog niet genoeg was, gingen tegen het einde (ongeveer een half uur voor terugkomst) ook nog twee buggy’s kapot. De inzittenden moesten verdeeld worden over de overige buggy’s, waarna we alleen nog maar stapvoets terug konden rijden naar het beginpunt.

Al met al teleurstellend in rijplezier, begeleiding en materiaal.

Hello,

We are genuinely sorry to hear that the excursion did not fully meet your expectations.

At the same time, we would like to point out that mechanical issues can occasionally occur during this type of activity. Buggy tours take place on demanding terrain and the vehicles are constantly under stress, so although regular maintenance and safety checks are carried out, unexpected breakdowns cannot always be predicted or avoided completely.

Reading your review carefully, it also seems clear that the organisation handled the situation responsibly. You mentioned yourself that the hotel transfers were punctual, the guide drove carefully, kept the group under control and made sure everyone stayed together throughout the excursion. Safety is always the number one priority on guided buggy tours, especially when participants have different levels of driving experience. For this reason, guides often maintain a controlled pace and regroup the convoy regularly.

We also feel it is important to add that this operator consistently receives a very high number of positive reviews from guests who enjoy the experience exactly because of the professional organisation and focus on safety. In fact, other participants from your same tour group also shared positive feedback after the activity.

Of course, we understand that every customer has different expectations and we respect your opinion. We are sorry that the driving style and the unforeseen mechanical issues affected your overall enjoyment of the excursion.

Kind regards,
Discover Gran Canaria Team

Excellent

Superbe matinée buggy en famille
Bien organisé
Bonne accueil à refaire les yeux fermés
Jolis paysages
Beaucoup de rigolades
Et la fin est éclaboussante 😅

Es war super!!

Ich habe die Tour spontan gebucht. Wir waren zu Viert unterwegs. Meine Frau, ich und meine Töchter. Es war richtig cool. Wir hatten alle Spaß. Die Veranstalter haben super Stimmung gemacht. Wir waren zuerst in den Bergen unterwegs und haben die Insel erkundet. Dann kam ein Offroad Teil, der es echt in sich hatte. Die Buggys wurden an ihre Grenzen gebracht. Es war super cool und ich kann es auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.
