Customer Reviews
The actual experience of driving the buggies is super fun - would rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars. The buggies seemed fairly well maintained. Had a top speed of +40mph and the track that the team took us on was fun and fast with some amazing views! There’s also some good photos of us going around which is an extra cost but appreciated. Unfortunately the experience was marred by a few points. Firstly, we arrived as expected at 8:45 and there was a lot of waiting around with no communication before we were told that a group were late and we were waiting for them.. then finally heading to the buggies at around 9:45 and driving out of parking at 10am.. Then after 2 hours of driving we realised we were heading back - problem was that we paid for the 3hr tour. So after 2:15hr the 3 hour tour we were walking back to the start point. When I asked why it was shorter I was told that it’s because we “drove faster than usual”. Apparently 15/20kph faster than usual so we completed the track faster - surely a 3hr track should be 3hrs.. Hope the company take the above as constructive criticism because the activity and track itself is really fun.
I took the 3-hour tour and really enjoyed it. The trail is very interesting. The guide is excellent and doesn't let you get bored.
Wow the buggy tours here are amazing. We did a 3 hour tour yesterday with our instructor Saul. What an awesome exciting tour of the North of the Island. Saul was very professional and knowledgeable and was a great guide. It does obviously get bumpy off road which we loved. Some really challenging tracks to drive on. Its a Fantastic experience its really worth doing. Goggles and face mask and jacket provided. Take a drink with you. We booked with TravelON.World because we were in Playa Blanca. Only €10 extra to pick us up and drop us off after ! Amazing value. Try it you won't be disappointed 😁👍
