I have to honestly say -- I don't know -- but I think you are probably right, Phil. I know that you are allowed to hike where you like, but I really don't think vehicles are allowed off road. You are definitely not allowed to take any rock or lava "samples" with you. That, of course, doesn't mean that some don't do it.

I really have no idea if Ronnie offers any sort of off-roading experience -- I think not, but he may know someone who does. I have seen "jeep safaris" travelling through the hills on the island. The problem with that may be getting to the meeting place. I'll see what I can find out.

Anyway ... you all enjoy Tenerife while we are doing our laundry!


P.S. - 30 minutes later ..

I've found listings for the following jeep safari companies:

Tamaran - Index
Tenerife Sunshine For Excursions, Holiday Rentals, Flights and Information on the beautiful Island of Tenerife

Another company, which was highly regarded by previous guests, has gone out of business -- Freebird.
Just a "heads-up" -- be wary of making a large deposit for any excursion. Many companies in touristic areas are closing without any advance notice. This is especially true for Tenerife and the other Canary Islands.
