About this tour
Tear across Tenerife's backcountry on a quad bike for 90 minutes of genuine off-road riding through lava fields, abandoned settlements, and clifftop vistas few tourists reach. You'll navigate rough terrain at your own pace with a local guide, fuelled by water and snacks, leaving the paved world behind. Suits groups and families after proper grit and adrenaline without the polish of standard tours.
Highlights
- Raw lava-field terrain, genuinely remote from main roads
- Coastal overlook spots for standout photographs
- Explore derelict buildings tucked into volcanic landscape
- Free collection from southern resort towns
- Local guide navigates hidden trails most visitors miss
What to expect
You'll get a quad and helmet, then head straight into uneven ground—expect dust, noise, and your arms to work. Trails wind through volcanic rock, occasional soft sand, and steeper sections that demand concentration rather than technical skill. Stops break up the riding so you can catch breath, drink water, and absorb the barren, dramatic scenery. The guide leads the pace; you follow your own line. Bring sunscreen and wear sturdy shoes; your knees and elbows will appreciate the coverage.
