Why Motorbike in The Canaries?

Gran Canaria is one of the largest islands and offers breathtaking views, especially from the highest point.

The fact that there’s not much traffic adds to this island’s appeal for biking.

Having been to Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, it's easy to why people choose these islands for motorbiking.

Canary Ride Reviews

“Perfect day! The owner, Ondrej, is all about customer service and he is a highly experienced driver plus a great guy! Even after being on a bike the first time after over 12(!) years, he made me feel safe at all times, adapting pace and routes accordingly. He knows the island with its most beautiful spots very well and speaks very good english, spanish and czech (did I forget any language?).

I highly recommend you check him out if you're in the area and want to have an unforgettable motorcycle experience! He will also help you with lending gear, booking your flights, accommodation, recommend great spots around the island etc. He is a true gem.“ – Silke, Netherlands.
