4 Hours Eco Safari Tour with Electric Car in Tenerife

About this tour

Climb Tenerife's volcanic terrain in a nimble open-air electric Twizy, heading inland from Puerto de Santiago towards 4,000-foot mountain passes. This 4-hour route dodges the usual tourist trail, threading through El Chinyero's lava fields and a working banana plantation before descending into quiet villages. You'll feel genuine mountain roads, not theme-park scenery. Small groups and zero engine noise mean you actually hear the landscape—birdsong, wind, the hum of the electric motor. Refreshments and a pottery workshop visit (weather permitting) anchor the experience.

Highlights

• Navigate lava flows in zippy open-sided electric car
• Stop at functioning banana plantation for insider perspective
• Visit artisan pottery workshop if operating that day
• Wind through untouched mountain villages off main roads
• Reach 4,000 feet with no tourist crowds
• Fresh mountain air, no helmet needed
• Groups capped at 10 for intimate atmosphere

What to expect

You'll spend four hours in an open Twizy that handles mountain bends with surprising agility. The ascent takes you away from coastal sprawl into genuine volcanic country—black rock fields, sparse vegetation, genuine quiet. You'll pause at the banana plantation to understand how the crop shapes the local economy, then visit the pottery workshop (call ahead to confirm it's open). The descent winds through actual villages where locals live, not curated stops. No windows means genuine fresh air and unobstructed views, though the sun exposure is real. Driving is relatively sedate—you're sightseeing, not racing.

Good to know

Not suitable if you have significant heart or respiratory conditions. Families with infants can book specialised seats. Bring sunscreen and a hat despite the open air. Groups stay under 10 people. Public transport links exist nearby if you prefer not to drive separately.
