Brilliant buggy tour, starts off with an amazing scenic tour through the mountain and then the through an off road bit where you’re allowed to really get in to it. All staff were brilliant, especially the two tour guides on our trip, Sebastian and Carmelo (Speedy Gonzales), they were unbelievably funny.

This was a fantastic way to get up to the higher part of the island and see lots, and was great fun to drive and not worry about potholes! There is about 10 mins of driving on the roads, but you are in a convoy, so there is no real issue there if you are not confident of driving abroad.
The team were great fun and kept the energy high. We've received our (bought) video which does include everyone on the same trip, so very little of it is us, but hey, we're not likely to be doing this again, so a great way to remember it.
There are spare buggies following, so on our trip, one broke down, so they swapped them into the spare, so no time was lost on the event.
Opportunities were given for swapping drivers a few times, so we both got roughly equal time.
The only negative we had in the whole event was the Viator app - it gave a grid reference and map showing exactly where we had to stand to be collected. We were there early but no-one showed up. Messaged the company via the app, no reply, so phoned the number stated, ended up speaking with Viator. They got hold of Buggy Pirates who contacted me to find out where we were - well, right where we were told to stand as per the app! They sent Lucian out to collect us, so we missed the group safety briefing, therefore received individual briefing quickly before setting out.
It is great to be picked up and delivered back, but if you book this, do ask for a what3words reference or exact road/hotel spot.
You need to be prepared to get dusty and dirty, possibly muddy if it's been raining (very rare!) But do not wear white, and cover as much of the skin as possible - sunburn and windburn, plus possibly stones and gravel kicked up. The dust gets everywhere, so wear a snood and if you can, something over your hair - felt so dry afterwards.

Absolutely brilliant tour. By far the best off road buggy experience ive had. Sebastian our guide was great and encouraged us to have a laugh. Plenty of off road where you can really test the buggies.

Great atmosphere, enthusiast team, the thrill and enjoyment off driving around wind through you hair and the off road sections, just what I wanted. Great way to spend several hours.

This adventure was fun, Elon was very interested actively and very engaging to his clients. And so the owners. Our photographer is also nice. The buggy tour if you have back problems, neck or any disability is not for you. It was a nice rough ride through the hills and the routes was very steep.
Sharon_G, Apr 2026
It’s a lot of fun and very well managed.We had a problem with our buggy and they were right there with another car for us.
Irakli_K, Apr 2026
The Tour was ok but it was only 15-20 minutes Off Road . Thats to little. Too many Interruptions and stops . Not really recommand .
Pam_H, Mar 2026
Whilst we appreciate the weather was an issue there was no off roading. We travelled up the mountain on the road and back again. We were not given the opportunity to cancel due the conditions and no partial refund offered. Having done many buggy rides around the world, what we did could have been done in a car. Hopefully this is not what to normally expect but we were very disappointed with the experience.
Nick_G, Feb 2026
Great fun with entertaining, knowledgeable and multilingual guides. Would have liked more of the experience to be off-road but great fun nevertheless.
Chris_H, Jan 2026
This is a fantastic experience where the team try their best to get you to share their passion for the buggies.
Furthermore the scenery is breathtaking and everyone went the extra mile.
I've done lots of these tours and this one is by far the best.
Drea_R, Dec 2025
It was excellent from start to finish. I would highly recommend this excursion. My friends had the best time ever.
Regan_T, Dec 2025
Fun! But there wasn’t as much dirt riding as expected. There’s an hour scenic drive on roads then the dirt track and the dirt track is only two loops that you go at from different angles a few times. It’s fun but I thought there would be more going on. We had a ton of fun driving and riding in the buggy either way but if you’re expecting a lot of off roading there isn’t that much.
Victoria_W, Nov 2025
We did a buggy tour today and loved it, Sebastian was absolutely amazing! Speedy Gonzales was absolutely hilarious too!
Phillip_C, Nov 2025
Excellent day out, really well organised and amazing fun staff. The buggies where excellent and brilliantly organised. Great way to spend a day.
Anita_J, Oct 2025
Well managed trip. good Communication from team re driving the buggies before hitting the road. Wonderful scenery on route saw the really wild beautiful side of Gran Canaria. The off road part was great fun but watch out for flying stones. All in all great time was had.
Caroline_H, Oct 2025
Loved it. Friendly staff. Picked up from hotel in Tauro as part of cost and then after dropped in maspalomas for us to get bus of taxi. Nice tour of island. The off road part is good fun

We had a really enjoyable time on the Buggy Tour in Gran Canaria. Pick-up from the hotel was right on time and we were taken straight to the starting point. The group was quite large on the day, so the ID and disclaimer process took a little longer than expected, and I noticed a few impatient faces, but once the engines started it was well worth the wait.
The staff were fantastic – welcoming, professional, and full of energy. A special mention to “Speedy” who definitely lives up to his name. He zooms around on his moped keeping spirits high and really adds to the fun of the day.
The tour itself is very accessible, something anyone can take part in. Most of the drive is along winding tarmac mountain roads with amazing views, before switching onto a short dirt and gravel stretch for a taste of off-road driving. Personally, I enjoyed the tarmac sections most, but it was nice to get a little mix of both.
It’s not a free-for-all but a structured drive in a convoy of 10–15 buggies, which makes it safe and easy to enjoy. Altogether, it’s a few hours of beautiful scenery, fun driving, and plenty of laughs with the group. Simple, safe, and great fun a brilliant way to see a different side of Gran Canaria.

What an amazing trip, made so much fun by the staff. Highly recommended. Would definitely do this again. The video is well worth purchasing
Alexandra_V, Sep 2025
I think we had high expectations based on the previous reviews so we were slightly disappointed. We were in a large group, at least 20 other buggys so approximately 40 other persons, and it really impacted the quality of the experience for us. There’s like 10-15 minutes max of “off road” and it’s basically going in a cercle 2-3 times while you wait for the others because as I said we’re 20 other buggys and not a lot of space/sandpit to cover. The rest of the time was on the road and the view was just okay except for like one very pretty spot. It’s still a nice adventure and the guides were really energetic and fun but I think it would be beneficial to lower the group size to make it a nicer experience ! ☺️

They picked us up from our Resort and even called our room as a courtesy (which was muy bien :)
Tour is organized and professional!
We purchased the video and picture!

Fab time, great staff, really fun time. 2 hrs in the road including off road stuff too. Amazing views up the mountains. Highly recommended and superb value.

Would HIGHLY recommended to do with partners and/or friends. My partner and I were picked up by Sebastian and dropped off after the activity. The entire event was insane and driving on the local roads and up through the mountains was breathtaking. There's 2 stop off points (1 during the road driving and 1 during the off road driving) so if you're driving as a duo, you can swap over. There were hardly any cars on the roads making it very safe and easy for UK drivers to navigate if you're unfamiliar with driving on the other side like myself. The off road driving was a lot of fun, be prepared to get VERY dusty! They have washing facilities at the venue to clear any dirt you will get on your clothes, shoes, bags and self! Speedy was insane whipping through the roads to get good footage and photos of the whole day. We purchased the edited footage and it's worth it! Ours was 16 minutes long and we got sent all 750+ photos taken, plus a bonus it was sent the same afternoon. Overall I would highly recommended participating in this activity as you get to see parts of Gran Canaria that you may not have access to on a large tour bus.
Ray_S, Apr 2025
This was an absolute brilliant tour
Did not know what to expect the guys that run the place were fantastic
Give you a chance to see The Hills and the surrounding area little bit of driving on the road and a little bit of driving off road which was a lot of fun special thanks to our tour guide and the cameraman who was well brilliant
Will do it again if I have a chance
Soren_V, Mar 2025
This is a great excursion, which will take you through the interior of Gran Canarie Island. The first leg is on roads. The second part is off road. You should be prepared to get dusty. Absolutely an amazing excursion with very friendly guides.

This experience was just perfect from the beginning to the end. The staff was so friendly and caring about our group. We started with some introduction (with music) what made the start and the rest of the day much more enjoyable. The plus was that they speak many languages for a more personable experience. Thank you again for all !
Natalia_S, Feb 2025
Fantastic experience. Had a brilliant time. Not for the light hearted 😜. Well organised and very professional company.

Omg absolutely loved this trip... from getting picked up (with the singing sombrero man) to getting dropped off! So much fun. Definitely worth doing!!! 👌
Luke_h, Oct 2024
The whole team of staff were very energetic, organized, and really got you ready for a tour! Amazing greeting and prep and a fantastic tour, gentle bit of off road to towards the end which was just enough to avoid becoming uncomfortable or painful. The duo taking the tour out was HILARIOUS! Speedy Gonzales if a really funny character and totally made the day 100% would book again if we had enough time this holiday. A must try for any visitors!

I recently had the chance to experience the Gran Canaria Buggy Pirates tour, and it was hands down one of the most exciting and fun-filled activities I’ve ever done! From start to finish, this adventure exceeded all my expectations.
The Buggy Pirates team were friendly, professional and their energy was contagious!
Whether you’re an adventure seeker or just looking for a fun way to explore the stunning landscapes of Gran Canaria, the Buggy Pirates experience is a must-do. It’s a fantastic way to see the island from a whole new perspective, and you’re guaranteed to leave with a huge smile on your face!
Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Gran Canaria—you won’t regret it!
