Two buggy tours cover the same volcanic terrain around Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, but the gap in price and duration is real. WATERSPORTS LUISMOLINA runs a 2h circuit from Anfi del Mar into the Arguineguin hills for 149 €: tighter loop, lower price, ideal if you want a hard dose of off-road without a half-day commitment. Buggy Pirates adds a full extra hour on Can-Am Ryker buggies for 170 €, covering a wider route through Arguineguin, Playa Cura, Taurito and Puerto Mogán. Both tours are rated open to all fitness levels and run in Spanish and English. Pick the 2h option to keep costs down. Choose the 3h route if you want more track time and a broader sweep of Gran Canaria's southern coastline.
Buggy Tour from Anfi del Mar to the Arguineguin hills in Gran Canaria
At 149 €, the WATERSPORTS LUISMOLINA 2h circuit into the Arguineguin hills delivers the core off-road punch for the lowest entry cost.
Buggy tour Canam Rykers in Gran Canaria Island
Buggy Pirates runs a full 3h route across Arguineguin, Taurito and Puerto Mogán for 170 €, covering more terrain than any other option on this list.
Both tours cross the volcanic hills above the southern coast of Gran Canaria, which means steep inclines, loose gravel tracks and sharp turns. You're not on a flat road. That said, both operators list the physical level as open to everybody, so prior off-road experience is not required.
On the WATERSPORTS LUISMOLINA tour, the climb from Anfi del Mar into the Arguineguin hills is the sharpest section, with exposed ridge tracks above the coastline. On the Buggy Pirates tour, the extended route through Taurito adds more elevation changes and longer descents.
Both tours are listed as open to all, but check directly with the operator about solo vs. shared buggy options when booking, as vehicle configuration can vary by group size.
The 2h tour covers the Arguineguin hills and delivers the core off-road experience. The 3h tour at 170 € simply extends the route, adding more varied terrain. If raw intensity per minute is your metric, both deliver comparable thrills.
Requirements vary by operator and vehicle type. Contact WATERSPORTS LUISMOLINA or Buggy Pirates directly before booking to confirm licence requirements for their specific buggy models.
