Three hours at the wheel of a buggy along the southern coast of Tenerife, finishing at a traditional banana plantation. You drive yourself, with a guide leading the convoy and keeping the route on track. No experience is needed, just a category B driving licence.<\/p>\n
The route follows dirt tracks along the south of the island, across volcanic slopes with the ocean in view. You ride in convoy behind the guide, with short stops for photos and a breather. The whole tour lasts about 3 hours<\/strong>, including the plantation visit.<\/p>\n Before setting off you get a short briefing on handling the buggy. The controls are simple and intuitive, so people who have never driven one are usually fine within minutes. Safety gear is provided on site.<\/p>\n The most interesting stop is the Canarian banana plantation<\/strong>. You see what the crop looks like from the field, why bananas from the Canaries are smaller and sweeter than the supermarket kind, and what part they play in the local economy.<\/p>\n There is also a tasting<\/strong> at the plantation. You try local products and traditional sweets made with Canarian banana, which makes a natural break in the middle of a dusty day.<\/p>\n It suits people who want to drive themselves and see a piece of the island beyond the resorts. It works for couples and for families, since the buggies come in two-seat and four-seat versions.<\/p>\n Only a person carrying a valid physical category B driving licence may take the wheel.<\/strong> Children ride as passengers: from age 8 and over 135 cm in a two-seat buggy, and from age 2 in a four-seat one. If dust and noise are not your thing, take a minibus tour instead.<\/p>\n The transfer is free and covers El M\u00e9dano, Los Abrigos, Costa del Silencio, Las Galletas, Golf del Sur, Amarilla Golf, Playa de las Am\u00e9ricas, Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje, Fa\u00f1ab\u00e9, Torviscas and La Caleta. Pickup takes place between 1 hour and 45 minutes before the start<\/strong>, depending on your resort. You can also make your own way to the Las Chafiras area.<\/p>\n Two-seat buggies have a 330 kg load limit and four-seat ones 480 kg. Your ticket with the details arrives by email within 24 hours. Cancellation is free up to 72 hours before the start<\/strong> with a 100% refund, and the operator may change the route because of weather or road conditions.<\/p>\n Write to us if you want to work out which buggy type suits your group better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three hours at the wheel of a buggy across southern Tenerife, with a stop at a banana plantation and a tasting of local products.
