4-seater buggy tours in Lanzarote: family buggies and 6-seaters

With four of you, one four-seat buggy usually works out cheaper per head than two two-seaters. But not all 4-seaters are the same: some stay on tarmac, others are half on dirt tracks, and every operator has its own rule for children. This page helps you decide quickly, whether you are a family or a group of friends.

Which 4- and 6-seater buggies are there in Lanzarote?

All prices are per buggy, not per person. Three people in a 4-seater pay the same as four.

Price per person: the maths of a 4-seater buggy

The rates we saw on H2O's website for its larger off-road buggies:

For comparison, H2O's two-seat buggy costs from €150 (€75 each for two). So four people in a 4-seater for 2 hours pay €200, against €300 in two two-seat buggies. The trade-off is that only one person drives at a time.

Lanzabuggy's on-road 4-seater is the cheapest per head: €160 per buggy, €40 each with four. Paracraft's in Puerto del Carmen is the most expensive on GetYourGuide (€250); on its own website we saw it at €241.82, but there you cannot cancel, whereas GetYourGuide allows free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

The 4- or 6-seater mixed route from Costa Teguise

This is the H2O Sports tour that leaves from its shop in Costa Teguise. The GetYourGuide listing says about 50 % of the route is on tracks; an agency reselling it claims 70 %. Expect something in between, with more tarmac than the two-seat tour.

The route takes in Guatiza, Charco del Palo, Mala and the old dam road, climbs to the Ermita de las Nieves (about 600 m) and the island's highest area, around 670 m, then drops down through Teseguite and El Mojón and visits the old lime kilns of Teguise. From sea level to the top of the island in one morning.

• 4.5 out of 5 from nearly 700 reviews on GetYourGuide.
• A maximum of five buggies per group.
• 2 to 3 hours depending on the option.

The product title on GetYourGuide mentions the 6-seater option, but the price shown is for the 4-seater. We saw the 6-seater priced on H2O's own website (€270 for two hours, €340 for three). We do not know which model it is or how many they have, so if you are counting on one, confirm when you book.

Bear in mind that routes with dirt tracks may change: on 2 October 2026 the Cabildo opened a public consultation on a bylaw that could restrict or ban buggies on tracks and rural land. Nothing is banned today; check the route when you book. More in the Costa Teguise guide.

How old do children need to be for a 4-seater buggy?

This is the small print that matters most to families.

• H2O, 4/6-seater mixed route: its own page asks for a minimum passenger height of 1.35 m, as on the two-seaters. An agency reselling the same route says the rear seats of the 4-seater have no height limit. As the two versions do not match, ask H2O with each child's exact height.
• H2O, Puerto del Carmen on-road: the only published exclusion is for under-3s.
• Lanzabuggy, on-road 4-seater: no minimum age on its website; one reselling agency says there is no minimum age for passengers, and another page recommends over-3s.
• Paracraft: passengers aged 8 or over and at least 1.35 m tall.

The 1.35 m comes from Spain's General Traffic Regulations: children shorter than that must use a child-restraint system. That is why two-seaters nearly always require it, and why the family 4-seaters are the option for younger children.

To drive: H2O asks for 20 years of age, two years' licence and the original licence (no copies); Lanzabuggy, 21 and two years' licence, with a maximum of two drivers per buggy; Paracraft, 22. H2O has no weight limit. All of this in more detail in licence, age and requirements.

The road-only 4-seater: Lanzabuggy and H2O

If you are travelling with young children or someone does not fancy the dust, the two tarmac 4-seaters are the safe bet.

Lanzabuggy, Family Buggy Tour (€160, 2.5 h): a four-seat automatic buggy with a 1,000 cc Rotax engine. It sets off from Uga, crosses Timanfaya by road, passes Mancha Blanca, Tinajo and Masdache, stops at Los Hervideros and finishes at a La Geria winery with toilets and tapas. Pick-up in Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen, Puerto Calero and Playa Blanca. Rated 4.6 out of 5, still from few reviews.

H2O, Puerto del Carmen on-road (€180, 2.5 h): includes a walk of about 40 minutes up to Volcán El Cuervo, good for children who are happy to walk, and stops at La Geria and Las Grietas.

Five or six of you: how to split up

With five or six people there are three ways to do it with H2O in Costa Teguise (2 hours):

1. One 6-seater: €270, €45 each for six, €54 each for five. Only one person drives at a time.
2. A 4-seater plus a 2-seater: €200 + €150 = €350. Dearer, but two people drive at once and the family can split up by age or height.
3. Three two-seat buggies: €450. Only if every passenger is 1.35 m or taller and everyone wants to drive.

With Lanzabuggy, the on-road 4-seater takes up to four, so five or six would need two buggies. In every case you drive as a group behind a guide, alongside other customers. To compare the other prices, see how much a buggy tour costs.
