All the things that make the western highlands of Fuerteventura so special come together in this hike. Starting out at Vega de Rio Palmas, your guide will lead you through one of the island’s greener corners to the fishing village of Ajuy. The area’s remoteness lends the excursion a Wild West feel.
You’ll head by minibus to the hamlet of Vega de Rio Palmas. From here, you’ll set out by foot, crisscrossing valleys towards the hermitage of La Peña. The ample vegetation is why locals know the area as the ‘oasis of Fuerteventura’. Continue a trail along a gorge towards the coast and wave-washed Ajuy, the only village for miles around.
Ajuy is famed for its sea caves, which you’ll be able to explore along with its black volcanic beaches. Rounding off the walk is a picnic lunch. Hiking time is about five hours. A great opportunity to discover the fauna and flora of Fuerteventura with an expert guide.
Lanzarote Volcano Tour
Were the sky not blue in Lanzarote, you’d think you were on the Moon or Mars. They’re both a bit far away but Lanzarote is just 30 minutes by boat from Fuerteventura, which is a short time to travel for an otherworldly experience. You’ll visit Timanfaya National Park, El Golfo and a winery – all in one day.
After an early pick-up, we’ll go to the port to board the ferry to Playa Blanca. The action starts straight away with a visit to Timanfaya National Park, which is home to a third of the island’s 100 volcanoes. Admire eerie landscapes of fantastic forms in shades maroon, red, grey and black. You’ll also be treated to a few party tricks courtesy of the geothermic earth below you.
On the park’s coastal edge, head to El Golfo to see the green lagoon at the back of a black beach and the nearby Hervideros cliffs. They were formed by molten lava pouring into the sea. There’s a stop to learn all about the benefits of aloe vera. Rounding off the day is a wine tasting in La Geria.
Corralejo Canarian Market only from Caleta
Everything is a celebration in Fuerteventura – even shopping. A visit to the Canarian Market in Corralejo is a real fiesta. We’ll pick you up in Costa Caleta and drop you off at El Campanario Shopping Centre. As well as the usual shops, there are stalls selling typical – and very tempting – Canarian products, and a live band playing local tunes.
Corralejo is the hub of the north. Pastel-coloured homes line the seafront and fishing boats dot the beaches. And just a block away from one of the beaches is El Campanario. Designed like an old colonial village, it’s one of the most atmospheric shopping experiences in the Canaries. Browse the handmade arts and crafts on sale, or try your hand at haggling if you’re bold enough.
You’ll then have free time to explore Corralejo at your own pace. Watch the surfers as you stroll along the beach or fishermen bring in their haul at the harbour. And if you’re feeling peckish, you can tuck into the catch of the day in one of the many seafood restaurants.

There’ll also be lots of games to play on the beach.

E-Bike Adventure
Discover Fuerteventura’s natural beauty spots on a relaxing e-bike tour. With four routes to choose from, your e-bike can be used like any other bike or at the flick of a switch, can help you to get up those steep bits.
On the easy tour from the north, you’ll pass ancient volcanic craters before a pit-stop at a local bar in Lajares. Take the advanced route from the north and you’ll travel the dusty, desert roads towards El Cotillo lagoon. And on both trips you’ll get to visit Calderon Hondo crater and take a well-earned swim stop too.
From the south, you can take the Costa Calma tour – a journey from east to west, over lunar landscapes and desert scenery, across the narrowest part of the island. Or, from the centre of the island, there is also the Caleta tour which takes in the Las Salinas coastline and then inland around the lunar landscapes as far as Puerto de la Torre. To finish, there is the option of a swim stop or to take a refreshing drink in a local bar.
Lanzarote Express
If you’re itching to explore another of the Canary Islands while you’re in Fuerteventura, then this easy trip to Lanzarote will see you hopping there and back in a day. You’ll catch the ferry over from Corralejo and dock in Playa Blanca, where it’s up to you how you spend your time until the return ferry late in the afternoon.
The ferry will leave mid-morning for a quick 45-minute crossing to the volcanic lands of Lanzarote. Once you’ve stepped on to its shores, you’ll have about five hours to explore, see and do as you wish. Playa Blanca’s got a whole host of shops, bars and seafood restaurants lining the promenade, which are perfect for a spot of lunch.
There are also three beaches – two of which are Blue Flag winners, so you’re guaranteed great sunbathing conditions. Alternatively, head out of town to see Los Hervideros, a string of wind and wave-battered volcanic cliffs, and one of Lanzarote’s top attractions. Catch the ferry back in the late afternoon, and you’ll be in Corralejo in time for a pre-dinner cocktail.
