Karting Club Tenerife

Tenerife’s Karting Club puts you on an outdoor circuit that stretches more than 1,200 meters, with tight curves and fast karts reaching 400 cc. The session is short, but the track is built for more than a quick lap around a parking lot.

I like two things here: the separate junior and senior circuits make it easier to match the outing to your group, and the senior track’s length gives experienced drivers room to build speed. The venue also has a bar and terrace overlooking the circuit, a welcome place to wait or watch.

The main drawback is the clock: about 12 minutes is a brief drive for $28, and the current overall rating is 3 out of 5 from 101 ratings. If you’re expecting a half-day activity, this is not it. Think of it as a lively add-on, not the day’s main event.

At a glance

• More than 1,200 meters of track: The senior circuit has a long layout with curves, rather than a simple short loop.
• A separate junior circuit: Children have their own track, so the activity caters to a wider range of ages.
• Karts up to 400 cc: The most powerful karts are aimed at the senior circuit. Six kart varieties are available across age groups.
• A short session: The advertised drive lasts about 12 minutes, though some descriptions of the experience put it closer to 15.
• Transport and safety gear included: Private transportation, a helmet, and safety equipment are included.
• A place to watch: The restaurant bar and terrace have panoramic views of the circuit. Lunch is not included.

A fast outing near Cho and Las Chafiras

Karting Club Tenerife is in Cho, near Las Chafiras, at Crtra. Cho – Las Chafiras. It is an outdoor karting venue, not a guided sightseeing tour, so the point is simple: arrive, get on the track, and drive.

That straightforward format suits you if you want an active break from the beach or a group activity that does not take up the whole day. It is also an easy idea for a family with children, since the venue has a junior circuit as well as a longer senior one.

The address is the activity’s start and end point. Private transportation is included, and the venue also advertises a free bus, but the exact pickup arrangement is not specified here. Check the transport details before you set your day around a particular departure point.

Choosing between the junior and senior circuits

The two-circuit setup is one of the most useful features. Younger drivers can use the junior circuit, while the senior track extends more than 1,200 meters and is designed for a faster, more demanding drive. That separation gives families a better chance of finding a suitable option without putting everyone on the same course.

The senior circuit is the draw for adults and older children who want speed and corners. Karts reach up to 400 cc, which is a substantial engine size for a leisure karting session. The venue describes these as the fastest karts on the island, but the practical point is that this is not simply a children’s track with a few adult karts added on.

There are six varieties of kart for different ages. The exact age limits, height rules, and kart allocation are not provided, so do not assume that a particular child can drive a particular model. If you are booking for children, check those requirements with the operator before you go.

The venue also describes its circuit as a unique approved track on the island. Its length and curves give the driving more character than a short, flat circuit would. Still, the session is brief, so you may have only a little time to settle in and learn the layout before it ends.

What the session feels like in practice

Allow for a concentrated burst of driving rather than an extended race day. The advertised session is about 12 minutes. Some descriptions of the experience put the drive at around 15 minutes, so the actual time may vary, but it is wise to plan around the shorter figure.

A timing system is part of the setup. The venue describes it as the latest stopwatch technology, which adds a measurable element to the drive. If you like comparing lap times or trying to improve as you learn the bends, that can make a short session feel more engaging. The available information does not specify whether you receive a printed result or see a live leaderboard.

Helmets and safety equipment are included. That is helpful because you do not need to arrange your own gear, and the activity is easier to add to a family outing. The details of any safety briefing or clothing rules are not specified, so follow the staff’s instructions when you arrive.

The activity is capped at 30 participants. That gives you a sense of the maximum group size, but it does not confirm how many karts will be on the track at once or how long you might wait. If you are visiting with a group, the venue’s size limit may be useful, though you should confirm availability for your preferred time.

The terrace, transport, and the practical details

A bar and restaurant terrace overlook the circuit, with panoramic views of the track. That gives non-drivers somewhere to sit and watch, and makes the venue more workable for a family or mixed group where not everyone wants to drive. Lunch is not included, so treat food as an extra rather than part of the karting price.

Private transportation is listed as included, and a free bus is also mentioned. Those details may make the venue easier to reach, especially if you are not driving, but the information does not spell out routes, pickup times, or where the bus operates. Confirm those specifics when booking rather than assuming transport runs from your hotel.

The venue is near public transportation, another possible option for reaching the meeting point. The activity begins and ends at Karting Club Tenerife in Cho, and the ticket is redeemed at that same address. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate, although the operator’s age and physical requirements are not stated.

Is $28 good value for 12 minutes?

At $28, the value depends on what you want from the outing. You are paying for a short, high-energy activity on a track longer than 1,200 meters, with helmet and safety equipment and transportation included. For a group looking for a memorable burst of competition, that can be a fair price, particularly if the transport saves you a separate journey.

It is less compelling if you measure value by minutes alone. Twelve minutes passes quickly, and you may wish you had more track time once you get comfortable with the kart. The bar and terrace make the venue more pleasant for a longer visit, but food is extra and there is no indication that additional driving time is included in the price.

The overall rating of 3 out of 5 from 101 ratings is worth weighing against the strong points of the experience. Fast karts, friendly staff, organization, equipment, track quality, and facilities are all praised, but the middling average suggests the experience is not consistently satisfying for everyone. Go in with realistic expectations: this is a brief karting session, not a polished full-day package.

Who should book Karting Club Tenerife?

I’d consider this a good fit for a group of friends, a family with children old enough to use the available karts, or anyone who wants a quick dose of speed without committing a whole afternoon. The separate circuits are particularly useful when children and adults want to kart at the same venue.

It is less suited to you if you want a long race, detailed instruction, or a full itinerary of activities. No guide is named, and this is a self-contained driving experience rather than a tour with commentary. You should also check the age rules and transport arrangements if either one will decide whether the outing works for your group.

The free-cancellation terms offer some flexibility: you can cancel for a full refund at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund or adjustment. That makes it sensible to settle your transport and timing plans before the final day.

Should you book it?

Book if you want a short, energetic activity with a proper-length senior circuit, karts reaching 400 cc, and a separate option for younger drivers. The track, equipment, staff, and terrace are the strongest reasons to go.

Skip it if the $28 price feels steep for roughly 12 minutes behind the wheel, or if your group expects a long, coached racing session. Check the junior kart requirements and transport pickup details before paying. If those fit your plans, it can make a fun stop near Cho, especially for a group of four or more.
