Karting

Karting Club Tenerife is situated in the south of the island between the Golf del Sur resort and Los Cristianos. It is arguably the number one outdoor, all weather, racing track in Europe. There are two tracks, one for children and a 1200 metre international circuit for the older visitors.

Ample parking is provided if you arrive by car to the track, or you can take full advantage of the free transport on offer from the major resorts. Pick up points will be provided when you purchase your tickets from one of the many ticket outlets scattered around Tenerife’s southern coast or if you purchase tickets online.

If you do drive to the Karting Club, access is from the main TF1 motorway at either Guaza or the Las Chafiras junction. From either junction, just follow the road which runs adjacent to the Autopista del Sur and you will find the Karting Club situated midway between these exits on the road marked “Carretera del Cho”.

There are five different types of Karts available to hire in Karting Club Tenerife, depending on age and experience. To ride the Superkarts, you must be at least 18 years old. Safety equipment is included in the price and the circuit safety facilities are excellent.

For those of you who do not wish to take part in Karting, there is a bar/café situated at the circuit from where you can purchase ice cold drinks and snack foods while you top up your tan on the sun terrace which overlooks the karting track.

There is also a pool table, soccer table, darts board and a gigantic Scalextric track to keep the kids amused.

Open all year round for residents and tourists between 10am until 8pm every day. It is well worth a visit - especially if you haven’t been before.
