Trade roads for tracks on Tenerife. This quad adventure in the north gives you fresh-air freedom and big-sky Teide viewpoints without feeling like you’re stuck inside a vehicle. I also like that the crew keeps it fun and controlled, with guides such as Jesus, Carlos, and Manuel earning praise for both professionalism and good energy. One important consideration: you’ll need a valid driving licence (Class B) to drive, with no photo or copies accepted.

This is a small-group style ride, max 8 people, starting in Puerto de la Cruz at Click and Quads on Calle Aceviño. If you want views and off-road time, this tour is built around it, including helmet and oilskin plus a soda/pop break and photo/video coverage. If you’re sensitive to wet weather, note that one highlight came even in pouring rain, which means you should be ready for a damp, muddy feel if conditions turn.

Key Points at a Glance

• Small group, max 8 riders helps the guide stay close and keep the pace comfortable
• Helmet and oilskin included, so you start protected for dust and wet patches
• Photos and videos included, which is handy if you want proof beyond your own phone
• Road plus dirt tracks means you get both smooth riding and real off-road thrills
• Teide and north Tenerife viewpoints are a main reason people book this route
• Expert guiding with a safety-first approach is repeatedly called out in the experience

Why This Quad Ride Feels Like Real Tenerife

The best part of a quad tour is simple: you’re not watching Tenerife from a bus window. You’re out in it. With this ride, you feel the sun and breeze, and you get clean sightlines over the north of the island as the route shifts from paved roads to dirt track sections.

I especially like how the tour balances two things that don’t always mix well: free-feeling driving and tight, clear guidance. Multiple guides are praised for making riders feel welcome and safe at the same time, which matters because a quad route can be intimidating if you don’t know the terrain. In one ride, the guide approach was described as professional and fun, so you don’t feel lectured, but you do feel looked after.

There’s also a weather bonus. One person called it a holiday highlight even in heavy rain. That doesn’t mean you should hope for storms, but it does suggest the operation handles rough conditions well. If clouds roll in, the “nothing is blocked” feeling can still work out, especially when you reach viewpoints.

Price and What You Actually Get for $96.75

At $96.75 per person for about 2.5 hours, this isn’t the kind of tour where you pay and then realize key items cost extra later. Here, you get a package deal feel.

You receive:

• Helmet
• Oilskin
• Soda/pop
• Photographs and videos

You also get all fees and taxes included in the price, which helps keep your budget predictable. And because photo/video coverage is included, you’re paying for someone else to capture the moments you’ll care about later. For many people, that’s as valuable as the ride time itself.

What’s not included is also part of the value equation:

• No air-conditioned vehicle is provided (this is a quad-based outing, so you’re outdoors most of the time)
• Alcoholic beverages are not included

If you’re planning your day around this as the main activity, the overall “all-in” feel for gear + media + a refreshment is the reason it lands in the good-value category.

Meeting Point, License Check, and Gear That Matters

Your meeting point is Click and Quads at Calle Aceviño, 2, Puerto de la Cruz. The tour ends back at the same spot, which makes it easy to plan lunch or an afternoon stroll afterward.

Here’s the big practical thing: you must bring a valid driving licence. The operation specifically requires the essential physical Class B driver’s licence. They’re strict about it too—no photos or copies. That single rule is worth taking seriously. If you show up without the real document, your plans can fall apart fast.

On the comfort side, you’re not left to handle everything yourself. Helmets and oilskin are included. Oilskin is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” items on Tenerife’s north side, where weather can change quickly. Having that gear provided helps you travel lighter and ride more comfortably, especially if the route includes dirt-track sections where you can catch spray.

The 2.5-Hour Route: Road Time Meets Dirt-Track Thrills

You’re on an organized quad route through the north of Tenerife, guided end-to-end. The core idea is a mix:

• Road driving so you build rhythm and confidence
• Dirt tracks that deliver the off-road fun people come for

One review described timing roughly as 2 hours on the ride route with about 30 minutes on terrain. Your exact split can vary, but that gives you a realistic sense of how the experience is structured: you should expect a meaningful chunk of off-road, not just a quick taste.

That matters for value. If the dirt-track time were tiny, you’d feel ripped off compared to the effort of bringing a licence and showing up for gear checks. Instead, the praise repeatedly points to off-roading as a highlight, with guides making it feel exciting while still controlled.

You’ll also get more than a straight-line drive. The route is described as passing through roads and dirt tracks to reach higher ground for mountain views. So the “work” of riding also turns into payoff: every section is leading to something—especially viewpoint stops.

The Teide and Northern Viewpoints You’ll Actually Remember

The route is designed to deliver big views. You’ll head toward a mountain area where you can see Teide and the north of Tenerife. This is the kind of scenery that looks good on a phone, but it’s better in person because you’re higher up and the quad gives you movement, not just a parked panorama.

What I like about viewpoint-heavy tours is that they create built-in breaks. Instead of nonstop riding, you get moments to:

• catch your breath
• get photos and videos captured
• check how the terrain looks before your next segment

One person mentioned stopping at two points of view and getting a drink plus another small gift at the end. Even if that gift detail isn’t guaranteed in every outing, the structure is clear: expect pauses designed for scenery, not only for timing.

And if you worry about rain ruining everything, remember the experience being called a highlight even during heavy rain. That’s a good sign that the team doesn’t cancel at the first sign of wet weather. Still, you’ll want to dress smart and lean on the included oilskin rather than assuming you’ll stay dry.

Puerto de la Cruz and La Orotava: Seeing North Tenerife Up Close

You start in Puerto de la Cruz, and the ride focuses on the north side of the island. That’s a key difference from tours that mostly skim the same few scenic pull-offs.

There’s also a direct connection to La Orotava as part of the tour route. While the tour isn’t described as a walking city stop where you’re let loose for hours, you do get that sense of local Tenerife as you pass through areas and towns that most visitors don’t see at all. One review specifically called out quaint little towns that they wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

Here’s what that means for you: you’re not only chasing views. You’re moving through real communities and the kind of roads locals know. That makes the experience feel more authentic than just a scenic loop.

The Role of the Guide: Jesus, Carlos, and Manuel Set the Tone

The guide team is a major reason this tour scores so high. Multiple names show up in the praise: Jesus, Carlos, and Manuel. People describe guides as professional and fun at the same time, which is exactly what you want on a quad route.

Why it matters:

• Safety depends on clear instructions and good pacing
• Confidence grows when you feel welcome and supported
• The whole route flows better when the guide is managing people and terrain

One review singled out Jesus as expertly guiding off-roading while also delivering stunning views and cultural stops. Another mentioned Carlos making everyone feel welcome. Another credited Manuel’s professionalism and the chance to discover the north of the island.

Even if you’re an experienced driver, you still benefit from local route knowledge. Tenerife terrain can be deceptive, and a good guide turns “I hope this is okay” into “this feels smooth and manageable.”

What’s Included vs. What to Bring Yourself

Included items make the ride easier and help protect you from the outdoors:

• Helmet
• Oilskin
• Soda/pop
• Photos and videos

Also included are all fees and taxes, so you’re not hunting for add-ons at the end.

Not included:

• Air-conditioned vehicle
• Alcoholic beverages

So what should you bring? The one non-negotiable is the driving licence. Beyond that, keep it practical. Since oilskin is provided, you can focus on basic comfort for riding and being outside for about 2.5 hours.

Also, remember this tour offers English. If you’re traveling as a group, you’ll likely appreciate that the guide can explain what to do clearly without language friction.

Who This Quad Tour Suits Best

This tour is ideal if you want:

• off-road fun with a guided structure
• Teide and north Tenerife viewpoints
• a small-group experience (max 8)
• built-in photos/videos rather than relying only on your own shots

It’s also a strong fit for people who don’t mind the outdoors and can handle wet weather if it shows up. One of the best reviews explicitly mentioned the highlight happening during pouring rain, so the vibe seems geared toward riding no matter what the sky does.

On the other hand, you should think twice if:

• you don’t have the required Class B licence in physical form
• you’re uncomfortable driving quad terrain at all, even with guidance
• you’re expecting an air-conditioned “scenic comfort” day (this is outdoors and gear-driven)

Should You Book This Puerto de la Cruz Quad Tour?

Book it if you’re coming to Tenerife for more than standard photo stops. The big payoff is the combination of off-road time, Teide/north viewpoints, and a guide team known for keeping things safe and fun—plus photo/video coverage that saves you the hassle of capturing everything yourself.

Skip it if you’re missing the required licence or if you prefer sightseeing from inside a vehicle for the whole day. Also, if rain and mud would stress you out, consider whether your vacation style can handle an outdoors-first experience.

If your goal is an active, guided day in the north—one where you feel like you’re riding through the island instead of touring it—this is one of the most logical choices from Puerto de la Cruz.
