THE ROUTE

Arguineguin–Mogán valley drive

The core of the safari is the valley run: open tracks that run alongside the Arguineguin–Mogán corridor, offering expansive views of the southwest coast and the terraced slopes that define this side of Gran Canaria.

THE SENSE OF ADVENTURE

Two hours of controlled off-road excitement

Planned as an approximately two-hour safari, the outing compresses a lot of terrain and variety into a short, intense loop — an accessible way to feel the island’s volcanic contours without an extended commitment.

SAFETY & REQUIREMENTS

Reliable, supervised fun with clear rules

The operator emphasizes safety: the experience is presented as very safe and runs under guided conditions, but it does require drivers to meet specific licensing and deposit requirements before departure.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

You spend about two hours on a guided buggy safari that keeps a brisk pace across off-road tracks. The short window concentrates the sensory pieces — wind, dust, island light and rapid landscape changes — into an immediately rewarding circuit along the valley and close to the Anfi del Mar area.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this is for — and who should rethink it.

1
Independent driversIdeal for travelers who can legally drive in Spain and want an active, hands-on off-road experience; drivers must meet the license-age/antiquity requirements.
2
First-time off‑roadersSuitable for novices as the operator frames the tour as very safe, but participation still requires a qualifying driver and adherence to deposit rules.
3
Families with qualified driversFamilies can enjoy the scenic, short-duration format if a member holds the required B licence (minimum five years) and can meet the deposit conditions.
4
Non-driversNot a match for visitors who cannot or will not drive; the experience requires a valid driver’s license to operate the buggy.
