North Lanzarote Buggy Tour — 2.5-Hour Costa Teguise Off-Road Adventure
Drive across black lava trails and past the Tinamala cone on a 2.5-hour buggy tour from Costa Teguise. Small groups, multilingual guides and rugged northern scenery make this an efficient way to experience Lanzarote’s volcanic north.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring windproof layers
Atlantic winds pick up quickly; a light jacket cuts chill and dust when speeds rise.
Use provided dust goggles
Goggles reduce eye irritation on exposed stretches—bring a soft case to keep them clean.
Closed-toe shoes only
Expect dusty, rocky ingress and egress; sturdy shoes protect ankles during quick climbs in and out of the buggy.
Arrive with ID for drivers
Drivers must present a valid driving license with at least two years’ validity—no exceptions.

Conservation Note
The island’s arid ecosystems are fragile; stick to established tracks, avoid disturbing vegetation and carry out all waste to protect soil and native species.
Lanzarote’s landscape is dominated by volcanic activity; repeated eruptions over the last few centuries shaped the north, and artist César Manrique later helped integrate architecture with the island’s raw geology.
