4-Hour Eco Mountain Safari Tour with Electric Car in Tenerife
Description
Twizy Safari is a 4 hours tour. Note: we are near Puerto de Santiago a 110 km from Santa Cruz the Capital. We drive up to the mountains with 100% electric cars to 4,000 feet high. On our trip we make a couple of stops. It is outside the tourist zone, about culture, geology, amazing landscapes with unique and fun driving experience. The price includes Soft drink, a local coffee speciality and visit (if open) a pottery workshop. We drive across the lava fields of El Chinyero, and visit an original banana plantation. Finally we roll down on quiet mountain roads and take a close glance at the untouched villages of Tenerife. Power of the Twizy: race car feeling and super quiet. Perfect balance. Air bag and seatbelt protection. No windows, cool fresh mountain air, but no helmet and no sunburn. Maximum 10 guests so it is never crowded. The perfect choice for families and friends.

Fantastic way to see villages off the usual route. Dan the guide was absolutely brilliant. Very knowledgeable and full of interesting information. Communication is given throughout the trip via walkie talkies if you get stuck behind another vehicle on the road. The cars were really good fun to drive, can easily fit two adults, remember to take your driving licence with you. The location is up what seems to be an off road track but the info on where to go is very clear. I highly recommend this tour as part of your holiday, it won’t disappoint.
This tour was definitely worth it. Our guide was very friendly. He explained and showed us everything. The 4 hours went by quickly. It is a lot of fun to drive the Twizzy. This tour is highly recommended.
Fantastic experience with the very knowledgeable guide Dan. Would strongly recommend, we learnt loads about Tenerife and got to see some spectacular places.
Fantastic short tour of Tenerife. The Twizy’s were great fun to drive and to get around. Dan was a brilliant guide. Very knowledgable and enthusiastic and happy to answer lots of questions. Highly recommended for those who want a more fun way to explore the less well known parts of Tenerife.
Great experience, the car drives well and the explanations from Daniel were top-notch. The stops are worth seeing 😊
Such a fun and unique way to explore Tenerife while also learning about the island’s history and culture. We loved hearing about the banana farms, local pottery, and the hidden stories behind different areas of Tenerife. The views were incredible and the whole experience felt really personal and enjoyable. Dan was amazing — so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Tenerife, which made the tour even better.
My family of 5 loved our time touring Tenerife with Dan! What a fun way to see the island. We learned so much about the island's terrain and culture, and enjoyed touring the banana farm as well as our stop at the cafe to try the delicious Barraquito! Dan was very knowledgeable and took us on a beautiful ride through Tenerife's windy roads. Great way to see parts of the island and my teenage kids loved it!
An original and particularly informative experience. Daniel is a very competent guide, his explanations are clear and exciting, both precise and taking a step back to better understand. The Twizy tour goes through a banana grove, remote villages, lava fields, etc. Perfect to get to know this fascinating island!
I picked this excursion because my 13 yr old son wanted to ride in a twizy. But, it ended up being our favorite one in Tenerife. The cars were super easy & fun to drive plus we covered a lot of ground in the time we were together. Our guide Dan was extremely knowledgable on every aspect of the tour & we learned a lot about the history of the island & its native people which was fascinating. I highly recommend this tour!!
Excellent “safari” with Dan. He is so knowledgeable. He discussed Tenerife’s history, geography, culture & people with great detail & is so engaging. The Twizy cars themselves are great fun whizzing through small villages & on both main & tiny winding roads. All the while Dan communicated via walkie talkies in the cars pointing out items of interest & ensuring our safety at all times, reading the roads & advising us of where to go & when it was safe to do so. Perfecto !
