What people are saying about Lanzarote

Overall rating

4.5 / 5

based on 13,089 reviews

What a fantastic experience. 2 hours of bumpy thrills and spectacular views. The guide was cool, taking pictures whilst operating a buggy doesn't look easy but he managed to do just that. You get your own 5 minute photoshoot where you follow in your buggy behind him and he takes pictures at various angles. It's breezy out there and whilst they do provide a jacket and goggles, I'd recommend wearing warm clothing (and clothes you don't mind getting a bit mucky). A fantastic experience to add to our memories of a great holiday

Nice trip with Maverick Buggy in on- and off-road with beautiful views. With Maverick Buggies the group was quite small of 5 bugs so speed was quite ok and not too much waiting.

Famara beach was nice place to surf also for a beginner and instructors were excellent. Eveything was well organized from the warm-up to the end.

It was worth taking this tour. Covers the 3 popular attractions in south Lanzarote, not rushing through and the tour guide Andre was very good.

The castle and gardens are well worth seeing. the audio guide is okay, but not outstanding
