Additional Information

The Twizy Safari offers a 4-hour excursion. Please note, we are situated close to Puerto de Santiago, approximately 110 km from the capital, Santa Cruz. We ascend the mountains in fully electric cars to a height of 4,000 feet. We make several stops during our journey, which takes us outside of the typical tourist areas. This tour is about immersing yourself in the culture, geology, and stunning landscapes, all whilst enjoying a unique and entertaining driving experience. The cost of the tour includes a soft drink, a local coffee delicacy, and if open, we visit a pottery workshop. We navigate through the lava fields of El Chinyero and explore a traditional banana plantation. Finally, we descend quietly down the mountain roads and sneak a peek at the untouched villages of Tenerife.

Regarding the Twizy’s capabilities: it offers a quiet yet thrilling race car vibes. It has perfect balance, air bag and seat belt safety features. The vehicle has no windows which means you get to enjoy the cool, fresh mountain air, but there’s no need to worry about wearing a helmet or getting sunburned. To maintain our intimate and personal touch, we limit our tours to a maximum of 10 guests. An ideal choice for both families and group of friends.

Simply a must do experience in Tenerife! - We spent 11 days in Tenerife and went on many excursions. The Twizy tour with Dan was simply the best experience out of all of them. It was essentially a private tour and Dan is absolutely full of local knowledge. He is very passionate about providing a great experience to everyone on the tour. I never knew we'd find the whole platano / banana process so interesting. I think 90% of people just assume Tenerife is about the resorts & tourism... but it was so refreshing to learn about the local history of Tenerife and the natives, as well as driving these super fun Twizy's around the mountains, visiting some very special places on the way. I think the ticket price is totally justified and this should be a must do for anyone visiting Tenerife of whom wants to learn more about the local history, the Canarian culture, the geography, bananas, coffee and everything in between! We could've easily toured the rest of the day. Really well done to Dan and thank you for being so engaging. Thank you also to Niki for helping to arrange all of these amazing sessions! Should we come to Tenerife again in the future, we will definitely enquire about other excursions with you, or at least recommend to anyone visiting to do your buggy tour :)

A must do when in Tenerife - This tour was extremely well organised and communication with Niki before the tour was excellent. Dani is a great tour guide and was able to provide so much information. The Twizys were great fun, and the tour was a must do in Tenerife, it is something very different!

10/10 - Amazing experience. Honestly tour guides tend not to be my personal go to but this tour guide is and was amazing. Really informative and interesting, it’s not always what’s said but how it’s said and he was very passionate about sharing his knowledge. The drive was phenomenal, great scenery and it brings you closer to Tenerife. Out of all of my holidays this will definitely be the best memory all thanks to the tour guide. I would seriously recommend this to everyone (and I’m not one to really write reviews so just know that this was great). Great communication and fast replies also. The best possible experience.

Informative, exciting, Tasteful & Memorable - Driving the Twizy was fun, Daniel was so knowledgeable gave us so much information on all the towns and history of Tenereife. He showed us the many Plantos (banana) fields, almond trees, prickly pear, mango trees. We drove up the mountain and saw the volcanic rock on the side of road. We had a few hospitality stops, great coffee, great sites. We highly recommend this tour and thank you Daniel we loved your tour.

pov: on a mars mission, except this is in El Chinyero! - I have decided to make a visit to Tenerife to experience one of the islands, but also to experience another Twizy tour, similar to the ones I did over in Malaga previously, but this time with a different setting. The tour was done around the southwestern part of the island, which included a stop at one of the banana plantations, as well as stops in various villages, including looking at one of the churches, a village festival and to sample the local coffee. At one point the tour went through El Chinyero’s lava fields, which were formed in 1909 as a result of the El Chinyero volcano eruption that year. The lava fields look very mars-like, and therefore a perfect setting given the Twizy looks like a space buggy with sci-fi, frutiger aero bubble-like styling. (pov: on a mars mission, except this is in a lava field in El Chinyero) Not only did the guide lead me through some of the finest and mesmerising views of the island while driving, there were also a wide variety of road conditions as well, an ideal opportunity to put one's EV driving skills to the test. The downhill sections of the tour route were also ideal for practicing regenerative braking, where the power that would otherwise be used for driving the wheels is sent back to the battery. This tour is ideal for those who have never driven electric before but want to experiment with it, or anyone who has already driven electric but intent on sharpening their skills. It is also ideal for anyone wanting a completely different tour experience away from the crowds while also minimising their environmental impact. Whatever the reason for doing the tour, fantastic views and an in-depth experience of the island’s culture is guaranteed. Many thanks and respect to Dani and the team for the fantastic experience!

Fun trip with family - Booked the Twizzy safari as surprise for my Dad who was celebrating his 80th Birthday. It was perfect & our party of 8 throughly enjoyed it. Dani was a fabulous guide & we learnt so much about the Island history & visit places we would never have found. Dani even provided surprise birthday cake. 5* Highly recommend
