Setting Off on a Buggy Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can captivate both kids and adults alike. When I heard about the Tenerife Buggy Sunset Tour, I knew it was something I had to try. The idea of exploring the volcanic landscapes of Tenerife in a buggy sounded like an adventure my kids would love. So, we packed our bags and headed to Vilaflor, ready for a day of excitement.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Ricardo, our tour guide, whose warmth and enthusiasm were infectious. He made sure we were all set with the necessary gear, including jackets, gloves, and goggles. As a mom, I appreciated the attention to detail in ensuring our comfort and safety. The kids were thrilled to be in the buggies, and I could see their eyes light up with excitement as we set off on our journey.

Exploring the Volcanic Landscapes

The drive to Teide was nothing short of spectacular. As we ascended, the landscape transformed into a breathtaking tapestry of colors and textures. Ricardo shared fascinating insights about the history of the Teide Volcano and the surrounding national park, making the experience both educational and entertaining for the kids. They were particularly intrigued by the endemic plant species, like the towering Teide bugloss, and the chance to spot wildlife such as canaries and rabbits.

One of the highlights was our stop at El Pino Gordo, the oldest and tallest tree in Tenerife. The kids loved hearing about its history and taking photos with this natural giant. It was a perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of nature. As we continued our journey, the views from Mirador de Boca Tauce were simply stunning. The kids were in awe of the panoramic vistas, and I couldn’t help but capture the moment with countless photos.

A Memorable Sunset Experience

As we reached the Mirador de Retamar, we were treated to a fairytale landscape that seemed almost otherworldly. Although we didn’t get to see the sunset due to the clouds, the experience was still magical. We enjoyed pizza and drinks while taking in the views of the other Canary Islands in the distance. The kids loved the idea of being above the clouds, and it was a moment of pure joy and wonder for all of us.

The tour was a fantastic way to explore Tenerife’s natural beauty and learn about its rich history. Ricardo’s friendly and knowledgeable guidance made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re planning a family trip to Tenerife, I highly recommend the Tenerife Buggy Sunset Tour. Just remember to bring warm clothes and a valid driving license if you plan to drive the buggy. It’s an adventure your family will cherish for years to come!
