Corralejo: Buggy Safari Tour

Corralejo: Buggy Safari Tour – An Off-Road Adventure in Fuerteventura’s Unique Landscape

Imagine zooming across vast sand dunes, winding through volcano craters, and enjoying sweeping ocean vistas—all in a rugged open buggy. For those seeking a mix of adventure and spectacular scenery, the Corralejo Buggy Safari offers an ideal 3-hour escape. Priced at about $112 per group, this tour is designed for families, friends, or solo explorers eager to discover Fuerteventura’s wild side in a fun, safe way.

Two things we really appreciate about this experience: first, the knowledgeable guides who keep safety a priority while sharing interesting tidbits about the landscape; second, the stunning panoramic views of Lobos and Lanzarote islands that you get to enjoy during the stops. The tour’s focus on exploration rather than just riding makes it genuinely rewarding.

One aspect to consider is that this activity involves off-road driving, so it’s best suited for those comfortable with a bit of dust and dirt. Also, unaccompanied minors are not allowed, and full driver’s licenses are required, so it’s not an activity for everyone. Nevertheless, if you love outdoor adventures and are ready for a dynamic way to see the island’s rugged terrain, this tour is well worth considering.

This tour is especially perfect for adventure seekers, nature lovers, and those wanting a unique view of Fuerteventura’s volcanic landscape. It’s also a great choice if you’re traveling with older kids or teens who crave something more active than lounging on the beach.
