Detailed description

Tour the island of Fuerteventura in minivan with start and pick-up in the north

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands, a paradise with more than 150 kilometres of sandy beaches, lots of sun and sea views. But the landscape that has been shaped by the volcanoes is also Amazing. The best way to see it is to go for a drive across the island. Discover the whole panorama, the hidden paths, breath-taking natural spaces and impressive towns on a tour of the island of Fuerteventura. From Corralejo in the north, you can reach the most important major sights of Fuerteventura, as well as some of the quiet ones, in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan in a small group of no more than 8 people.

The island tour offers several stops to enjoy views, hikes and Fuerteventura's cuisine. The Fuerteventura island tour takes you through the entire cosmos of this Canary Island archipelago. On the 8-hour round trip you cross the unique scenery in the centre of the island as you pass through La Olivia, Montaña de Tindaya and Tefia. The Mirador Morro Velosa viewpoint, which was designed by César Manrique, is a work of art right in the middle of the rugged and dry landscape. The ingenious platform provides a panoramic view across the green island and the north of Fuerteventura. Combined with a coffee break, this is  a perfect place for a stopover on our way to Betancuria, which was the first capital of the island and for many people the most beautiful town on Fuerteventura to this day. There we have time to explore the alleyways of the historic village with its pretty white houses and decorative palm trees during a short walk.

Once we leave Betancuria behind, the impressive area of Presa de la Peñita awaits us. The gorge, which has one of the few dams on the island, can be seen from a 23-metre-high vantage point. On the tour of the island of Fuerteventura we now reach the sandy beaches of Ajuy. We plan to stop for an hour here to have lunch to regain our strength and will then discover the legendary caves of Ajuy, which lie at the end of the black lava beach. The caves were once used by pirates as hiding places for ships, today they are a great place to visit on Fuerteventura.

Fuerteventura has officially been a biosphere reserve for several years. The unique volcanic landscape, the clean beaches and the varied flora and fauna in the barren terrain are key factors in this. On the way south we will pass some of these jewels before we reach Costa Calma, one of the most important holiday resorts on Fuerteventura. Once we start our return journey heading north from the south, we stop once again on the way in the fabulous dunes of Corralejo. The Fuerteventura island tour ends with the return journey to your hotel or apartment.
