The engine stutters to life and the Atlantic wind pushes sand against the buggy as the group crests a low volcanic ridge above Sotavento. From that height the long sweep of Playa del Rey opens like a raw line on the coast — white sand, surfers riding the incoming swell, and dunes that seem to rearrange themselves with every gust. The guide checks helmets, the convoy falls into place, and the landscape — sunbaked rock and shifting sand — begins to assert itself.

Bring sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Sand and rocky tracks can be rough on ankles; closed shoes protect feet during driving and short stops.
Hydrate before and during the ride
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water—sea breezes can mask how quickly you dehydrate under sun and wind.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Sunscreen, a bandana or neck gaiter, and sunglasses cut glare and windburn on exposed sections.
Follow the guide and stick to tracks
Vehicles must stay on designated routes to avoid damaging dunes and protected habitat; the guide enforces the route.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet on sandy and rocky terrain and provides grip when entering and exiting the buggy.
Sunglasses with strap
Reduces glare from sand and sea and prevents lenses from blowing off in wind.
summer
High SPF sunscreen and lip balm
