Teide National Park
17 of the 19 quad tours we compare head up towards Teide from 8 starting points in the north, west and south. Here you can see which way each one climbs, what it names along the route, what is included and what it costs for one or two people.
First things first
A quad tour to Teide is a guided ride along the roads that climb into the national park and cross it, with stops at viewpoints. The listings that give an altitude reach about 2,100–2,400 m. The summit is at 3,715 m and cannot be reached by quad.
Access and departures
Two main roads climb into the park: from the north, via La Orotava and the TF-21; from the west, via Chío and the TF-38, which meets the TF-21 at Boca Tauce. Tours from the south that detail their route climb via Vilaflor, also on the TF-21. What matters when choosing is where you are staying: a transfer, where offered, costs extra.
Each circle is a starting point; the number is how many Teide tours leave from there. El Roque (San Miguel de Abona) has the most, and Puerto de la Cruz is the only one in the north. Distances are indicative: the exact meeting point comes with your booking.
Staying on the south coast? The logistics (pickup, transfers and distance to each point) are in quad biking in the south. In the north? See quad tours from Puerto de la Cruz.

Time of day
12 of the 17 run both in the daytime and in the evening; 2 are evening-only, 1 daytime-only and 2 do not say. The route is usually the same; what changes is the light, the cold and the ride back.
Surface
Inside the park you ride on roads open to other traffic. 11 of the 17 listings say so explicitly; 5 do not specify the surface, and we do not credit them with tracks. The one that sells two routes (one to Teide and one in the north) only uses tracks on the northern route, which does not go up to Teide.
What the rules say
Inside Teide National Park traffic may use the TF-21, TF-24 and TF-38 roads freely. Driving on its tracks is banned except for emergencies, patrols, park management and guided routes run by the park itself (plus a few authorised cases such as research or access to private land). Driving off the authorised roads and tracks is not allowed.

Requirements
Questions
No. The listings that give an altitude reach about 2,100–2,400 m; the summit of Teide is at 3,715 m. Standing on it requires a national park permit for the final trail, and no quad tour includes it.
Not in any of the 17 listings we compare. One says so explicitly (it does not go to the summit, the crater or the cable car). If you want to ride the cable car, that is a separate activity and a separate booking.
Not to ride its roads: the park plan allows free traffic on the TF-21, TF-24 and TF-38, and no listing asks for a separate permit. The permit is for walking up to the peak, not for touring the park.
No. Inside the national park the tracks are off limits except in specific cases, and 11 of these 17 listings say explicitly that they stay on the road. The track routes we compare run outside the park.
11 of the 17 last 3 hours; the rest between 2 and 4. That is the tour itself: if the listing has no transfer, add the trip to the starting point.
