100% Off-Road Quad Biking from La Tejita to El Medano
No licence required — an open coastal trail for riders of all ages and experience levels.
This off-road quad biking experience in Tenerife takes you along a scenic coastal route between La Tejita and El Medano, covering raw volcanic terrain without the need for any driving licence. The route is rated moderate, making it accessible to beginners and rewarding for more confident riders alike. Every participant rides their own quad, guided at a pace that balances safety with genuine adventure.
The southern coast of Tenerife offers a dramatic backdrop rarely seen from the main tourist roads. Riders move through open, unspoiled terrain with Atlantic views stretching across to the El Medano windsurfing bay, passing volcanic rock formations and wide sandy coastline. The landscape here is raw and largely untouched, which is exactly what makes the experience feel genuinely remote.
Because no provisional or full driving licence is needed, this activity opens up off-road riding to a much wider audience including younger participants and complete newcomers to quad biking. A safety briefing and basic machine orientation are provided at the start, so guests are fully prepared before setting off on the trail. Groups are kept small to ensure each rider receives proper attention from the guide throughout the session.
The 90-minute format is well-suited to a half-day itinerary, leaving time to explore El Medano town or the beaches around La Tejita afterward. This part of Tenerife is less commercialised than the resort areas further north, giving the experience an authentic feel that distinguishes it from more packaged activities on the island.

How the Experience Unfolds
Participants meet the guide at the designated meeting point near La Tejita beach on Tenerife's south coast. Liability forms are completed and any questions about the route or equipment are addressed at this stage.
The guide provides a thorough safety briefing covering machine controls, hand signals used on the trail, and what to expect from the terrain. First-time riders are given extra time to practise basic manoeuvres before the group departs.
The group sets off along the off-road coastal track, navigating volcanic landscape with Atlantic Ocean views on one side and the striking El Medano headland ahead. The guide maintains a pace appropriate to the group's collective experience level.
After reaching the El Medano area, the group turns and retraces the coastal route back toward La Tejita. The return leg often feels more confident as riders have acclimatised to the terrain and their machines.
The session concludes back at the starting point where riders return their helmets and equipment. The guide is available for questions or recommendations about further activities in the area.
