Polaris Slingshot in Lanzarote: is the three-wheel roadster tour worth €170?
Updated October 10, 2026 · 5 min read
Book the three-hour guided Polaris Slingshot Roadster Tour if two adults want the driving to be the experience. It costs €170 per vehicle for up to two people, not €170 each, and is rated 4.7 from 190 reviews. That makes the effective starting price €85 each when both seats are occupied. Choose a coach tour instead if you want admission tickets and detailed sightseeing; choose a buggy if off-road driving is the point. The Slingshot’s appeal is an open, low three-wheeler with a guide taking you from sight to sight.

What the booking actually buys
The listing promises a guided three-hour roadster drive past well-known Lanzarote sights, local history and tips from the guide. It does not publish an attraction-entry package. Treat it as a driving tour with scenery, rather than a compressed island excursion in which somebody else handles the road.
The price basis matters. One booking covers a group of up to two, so a solo driver pays the same starting price as a pair. The passenger seat therefore changes the value dramatically. The description does not state whether drivers swap, which route runs on a particular departure, or how long the stops last. Confirm those details before paying if both people expect time at the wheel.
Who will enjoy it
This suits a couple or two friends who are comfortable in an exposed vehicle and want photographs, road views and the sensation of driving. It is less convincing for anyone who dislikes wind, low seating or several hours without the shelter of a normal car. Luggage space, clothing requirements and weather arrangements are not specified in the short listing.
Do not infer a minimum age or licence rule from the vehicle. The operator sets the requirements, and they must be checked on the booking page for the chosen date. The same applies to deposit, insurance excess and the licence document you need to bring. Those are contractual details, not safe numbers to guess.
Slingshot, buggy or coach?
A buggy tour is the stronger choice when dust and rougher surfaces are part of the fun. A full-day coach tour is better when Timanfaya entries, several attractions and commentary matter more than driving. The Slingshot sits between them: more theatrical than a hire car and far less comprehensive than an island coach.
At €170 for two, the price can make sense as a shared driving experience. It is hard to justify for a solo traveller who mainly wants to reach viewpoints.
Our recommendation
Choose the guided Polaris Slingshot Roadster Tour for two people who specifically want an open-road drive and accept that the vehicle is the headline. Confirm driver eligibility, route, seat swapping, deposit and insurance terms before booking. If your priority is the sights rather than the steering wheel, spend the money on a full-day island tour instead.
