What’s the route?
The usual route departs towards the Monte Leon area and then goes to the Barranco and Presa de Ayaguares, two of the most beautiful and charming sites on the island. A section of the route is off-road so you can enjoy driving the buggy on this type of dirty and stony surface.

No, the Dunes of Maspalomas is a protected natural area and, therefore, driving buggies there is forbidden.

If you stay in these areas, the best option is to book this other buggy excursion since it includes both the pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation, and the tour is 100% off-road.
Will I be picked up in Playa del Ingles or Maspalomas? What are the collection points? What time will I be picked up?
f you want to be picked up in the Bahía Feliz, San Agustín, Playa del Inglés or Maspalomas areas, you only need to state the name of your accommodation when booking. Once we know where you’re staying and the day you want to do the excursion, we’ll inform you of the pick-up time at your accommodation.
What’s the best time to do the tour? What does the departure time depend on? Can I choose the departure time?
Throughout the year, we usually depart at 9:00 while at certain times of the year that involve greater demand, we make an additional departure at 13:00. In summer there’s also a third departure in the afternoon.
Therefore, we’ll usually offer you the first departure time, but if you tell us that you want to leave at another time in the comments field of the reservation, we’ll try to place you in that other time slot if that departure is being made and there are seats available.

No, both to rent a vehicle and to drive a buggy, insurance only covers drivers who have a minimum of 2 years of experience.
