Canary Islands
Go-karting in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are known for its miles of sandy beaches and crystal blue sea. Water sports such as surfing, sailing and diving are therefore particularly high in demand. However, venturing inland, there are a variety of activities to keep the holiday makers equally happy. Motor sport enthusiasts will be thrilled to find go-karting facilities in the island of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Whether you enjoy the thrill of zooming through the tight corners, beating your personal best times or just want a friendly race with your fellow travelers, Canary Islands offers excellent venues for go-karting.
The go-karts are usually fitted with internal combustion engines and the equipment to reach the Canary archipelago’s maximum speeds of up to 80 kmph. Most karting circuits are built outdoor with some karting clubs offering both indoor and outdoor venues for the karting enthusiasts. There are often two different go-kart circuits on offer: the main circuit (also known as senior circuit) where adults can ride on karts with up to 270 cubic centimeters for a race, and the secondary circuit (also known as junior circuit), is reserved for younger go-kart drivers. The main circuits are usually about 1km kilometer long, and wide enough for an exciting overtaking while the secondary circuits are shorter and less demanding.
There are three go-kart centres on Tenerife: La Esperanza in the north, Arona in the south and Fañabé, a little further west from Arona.
Gran Canaria offers two go-karting centres, both located just a few miles apart in the south of the island. The Gran Karting Club can be found near the town of Tarajalillo and the other is located further west, near the resort of Maspalomas. The former also has a karting club in Lanzarote island.
Lanzarote also boasts two karting facilities: one in the southeast of the island, located between Arrecife and the resort town of Puerto del Carmen, and the other in San Bartolomé.
There are also two go-kart centres in the island of Fuerteventura, one just outside of the capital Puerto del Rosario and the other is located in the south of the island in the small town Tamaretilla.
The island of La Palma does not have a fixed kart circuit, but every now and then organises special go-kart races; while the two smallest of the Canary Islands, La Gomera and El Hierro, do not currently boast go-kart facilities.
The usual go-kart centre opening hours are from 09:00 to 21:00 during summer with slightly shorter business hour during winter time. Prices vary depending on the kart model, duration of the race (or number of rounds) and number of participants. Expect to pay around €20 per adult on a main circuit for 7 rounds with a Superkart, and lesser for kart models with reduced cubic centimeters for (younger drivers) in the secondary circuit.
