Quad Biking · Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria
How to choose
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.

Frequently asked questions
How intense is the driving on these buggy tours?
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.
What's the most adrenaline-heavy moment on each tour?
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.
Can I drive solo or do I need a co-pilot?
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.
Is the 149 € tour significantly shorter in terms of sensation?
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.
Do I need a driving licence for these buggies?
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.
