Buggy tours outside Corralejo: why €140 can be cheaper than €69.50
Updated October 1, 2026 · 8 min read
Travelling alone or with a child beside you, book the Caleta de Fuste Guided Buggy Explorer Tour: €69.50 per person for three hours, with fuel, insurance and hotel pickup in the price. Two adults sharing one buggy in the far south pay less with the Jandía Natural Park & Puertito Buggy Tour, where €140 covers the vehicle for up to two people. From Costa Calma the best-rated option is the Costa Calma Buggy Safari at €99, and if you want a Can-Am rather than a classic buggy, the east-to-west Can-Am adventure runs three hours for €159 per vehicle.
Anything starting in Corralejo is a separate decision, and we have made it in the Corralejo buggy safari compared.
The four tours side by side
| Tour | Duration | From | What the price covers | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caleta de Fuste Guided Buggy Explorer Tour | 3 hours | €69.50 | one person | 4.7 from 737 reviews |
| Jandía Natural Park & Puertito Buggy Tour | 2 hours | €140 | one buggy, up to two people | 4.2 from 1,467 reviews |
| Costa Calma Buggy Safari | 3 hours | €99 | one participant | 4.8 from 885 reviews |
| Can-Am adventure east to west | 3 hours | €159 | one buggy, up to two people | 4.5 from 250 reviews |
The buggy and quad page lists 18 offers from €60 with a median of €109.
The price tags are not the same kind of number
This is the one thing worth knowing before you compare anything else. On the Jandía tour, €140 is the price of the buggy and it carries two people, so a couple pays €70 each. On the Caleta de Fuste tour, €69.50 is the price of a person. On the Costa Calma safari, €99 covers a single participant, and a second seat is a question for checkout.
Lined up that way the picture inverts. The cheapest-looking tour and the dearest-looking tour cost two adults almost exactly the same, and the one that reads as mid-priced is the expensive one for a couple.
For one adult travelling alone it inverts again: €69.50 against €99 against €140, and now Caleta de Fuste is the clear buy. There is no single right answer here, only a sum you have to do with your own party size before you click.

What three hours in the middle of the island look like
The Caleta de Fuste tour splits its route about evenly between tarmac and dirt, which is less exciting than it sounds and more comfortable than it sounds. It crosses volcanic ground and dry valleys, stops at a goat farm for a cheese tasting and takes in the salt pans at Las Salinas, with pickup from the Caleta de Fuste hotels.
Fuel and all the insurances are in the price, which is not true everywhere and is worth checking line by line elsewhere. According to the booking page the driver has to be 18 with a valid licence, passengers are accepted from the age of 4, and the whole vehicle is limited to 200 kilos. Pregnant women are listed as unsuitable.
That passenger age is the reason this tour turns up in family planning at all. Most buggy operators here are stricter.
Two hours on the Jandía peninsula, and the rating to go with it
The Jandía tour is the most-booked buggy outing on the island with 1,467 reviews, and it also carries the weakest score of the four at 4.2. Two hours, a safety briefing, dust goggles, pickup from Jandía, Costa Calma, Morro Jable or Esquinzo, and a route through the natural park to the village of Puerto de la Cruz and the lighthouse at Punta de Jandía.
Two hours is short for that much ground, and the group runs up to fourteen people. According to the booking page children under 7 are not accepted, pregnant women are listed as unsuitable, and there is an upper limit of 140 kilos per person.
If the southern tip is what you came for, the slower way to see it is a jeep — compared in which Cofete jeep tour to book.

Costa Calma: the best-rated of the four
Three hours from Costa Calma at 4.8 stars from 885 reviews, which is the highest score on this page. The route goes through dry hills and riverbeds to the black sand of Playa de Ugán, stops at a bar, passes La Pared and finishes with the view over Sotavento.
The listing is unusually specific about what you are buying: pickup and drop-off at your accommodation in Costa Calma, one guide per six vehicles, a helmet, and insurance covering driver, passenger, third party, accident and rescue, taxes included. The driver needs to be 18 with an original photo licence; children have to be accompanied by an adult and pregnant women are listed as unsuitable.
One guide to six buggies is the number to notice. It tells you the group is small and that you are driving, not being driven.

Can-Am or classic buggy
Costa Calma also has two Can-Am options, machines rather than the older open-frame buggies: the east-to-west Can-Am adventure runs three hours at €159 per vehicle on roughly 80 per cent unsurfaced track, and the Can-Am Buggy Experience in Costa Calma takes two hours at €119 per vehicle in a four-seater, for which the booking page states a minimum age of seven and more than a year with a driving licence.
They are quicker, more comfortable and better sealed against the dust. Whether that is worth the difference depends entirely on how much of the three hours is actually off the tarmac — and on that point the 80 per cent figure is the operator’s own.
The part that is not about fun
Every one of these routes runs on unsurfaced roads, and hire contracts on this island commonly forbid exactly that. One local company writes it out in full: driving off any surfaced road is prohibited. Others permit it for a surcharge, in writing.
So this is not a case of paying for a guide you could do without. You are paying for a vehicle that is allowed where you are going. If a car is part of the week anyway, the clauses are laid out in excess, deposit and what gets added at the desk, and you can compare hire cars for Fuerteventura there.
Dust is the other thing nobody mentions in the pictures. On a windy afternoon the second and third buggy in a line drive through what the first one throws up, and the goggles are not decoration. Sunglasses are not goggles.
When to book none of them
When the forecast says calima. An open vehicle in a dust episode is the worst seat on the island.
When you were hoping to take a small child along. Only the Caleta de Fuste tour names a passenger age as low as four on its booking page; the Jandía tour and the two-hour Can-Am start at seven, and the Costa Calma safari states no age at all.
When nobody in your party holds a licence. Every one of these tours is a self-drive outing; a jeep safari or an island tour does the same scenery with a driver.
And when two hours is all you can book. For the money, three hours is not fifty per cent more tour, it is roughly twice as much of it once the briefing is done.
Otherwise: one person, Caleta de Fuste at €69.50; two sharing in the far south, the Jandía buggy at €140 for the pair; and if you are in Costa Calma, the safari with the 4.8 rating.
