About this tour
Tear across Teide National Park on a quad bike, climbing to 2,200 metres—Spain's highest point—in three hours from Puerto de la Cruz. You'll navigate volcanic craters, ride above a sea of clouds, and finish in an otherworldly terrain that looks lifted from another planet. The descent drops you back through cloud layers while your legs are still buzzing from the ascent.

What to expect
You'll mount a quad and spend the morning climbing steadily into thinner air and rockier terrain. The park's volcanic geology shifts as you gain elevation—first through darker lava flows, then into lighter, almost alien landscapes. Around the 2,200-metre mark, the views open dramatically; on clear days you see the island sprawl below. The return trip is faster and more thrilling, especially where you dip back through cloud cover. Expect dust, wind, and a genuine sense of exposure at altitude. A snack and drink station halfway through lets you catch your breath and review footage.
Good to know
Drivers must hold a valid licence and wear closed shoes; passengers aged 7+ can ride without a licence. Bring sunscreen and a light layer—it's cool at altitude despite Tenerife's warmth below. The total three hours includes travel from town, so actual riding time is roughly 2.5 hours.
