What to expect

Lanzarote and Fuerteventura may only be 30 minutes apart, but scenery wise, they're light years apart. We'll take you to the island to the north to discover its moon-like landscapes, palm-clad valleys, volcanic vineyards and whitewashed villages. Teresa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Lanzarote's wines are the fruit of our ingenuity in harnessing the destruction wrought by Mother Nature into an art – a common thread that weaves together islander and landscape.'

After an early pick-up, go to the port for the ferry to Playa Blanca. The action starts straight away at Timanfaya National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that's home to more than 100 volcanoes. You'll feel like you've landed on the moon. Feel the heat beneath your feet as you watch brushwood burst into flames and a steaming geyser shoot from the ground. Teresa says, ‘The drive through lava-scarred landscapes of the Lunar Route is straight out of a sci-fi movie.'

There's also a stop in a family-owned winery in La Geria. Enjoy a tasting of its wines, which are made from grapes grown in moist circular cavities, known as ‘socos'. A drive through the Valley of the Thousand Palm Trees will whet your appetite. A buffet lunch is served in a family-owned restaurant, which uses locally sourced ingredients. With this stop, you contribute to the local community. Rounding off the day is a visit to the Jameos del Agua. These volcanic tubes were converted into a nightclub by legendary local architect Cesar Manrique in the 60s.

I was expecting more for the money spent. The best thing about the tour was the experiments on the volcano.

Ajuy and Las Peñitas Walking Tour with Picnic

Everything that makes the western highlands of Fuerteventura special comes together on this walking tour. Your guide will lead you through one of the island's greenest areas and barren landscapes with a Wild West feel, all the way to the fishing village of Ajuy – and there's a few hidden surprises on this well-known route. Fernando, one of our insider guides, says ‘Every year, on the third Saturday of September, thousands of islanders dressed in traditional Canarian costume pilgrimage through the gorge to worship Fuerteventura's patron saint.'Discover off the beaten track parts of Fuerteventura as you embark on foot, crisscrossing valleys from the hamlet of Vega de Rio Palmas to the hermitage of Las Peñitas. There'll be plenty of photo stops and the chance to rest in the shade under one of the many date trees which dot the route. Thanks to the surrounding sea of green vegetation and otherworldly rock formations, locals refer to the area as the ‘Oasis of Fuerteventura'. Film fans, though, can spot it in one of the scenes from the Marvel movie, The Eternals.Continue the trail along a gorge towards the coast and we'll reach the wave washed Ajuy. This remote village is famed for its sea caves, which you'll get time to explore along with its black volcanic beaches. Stroll along the shore at El Jurado and treat your feet to a dip in the refreshing water of the Atlantic. We'll tuck into a well-deserved picnic before heading back.

Cofete Sunset 4x4 Safari in Punta de Jandia

The volcanic landscapes of Fuerteventura's mountainous interior are scaled from the seemingly endless coastline is this late afternoon off-road safari to Cofete. Juan Carlos, one of our local guides, says, ‘Cofete was so removed from civilisation that it spawned a wartime spy mystery – and countless novels – centred on the enigmatic Villa Winter. Was it a transmission centre for U-boats? A hideout for secret agents? A ratline staging post? A venue for hedonistic parties? The legend only grows with each passing year.'You'll first head into Fuerteventura's central mountains, where cloud-wreathed slopes plunge down to endless, deserted beaches. The most eye-catching is Cofete beach, which clocks in at almost 14km. The spray from waves creates an almost ever-present haze over the shoreline. Heading off-road onto hairpin tracks, you'll bump around the Mars-like landscapes around Pico de la Zarza, one of the island's highest volcanic peaks. Here, you'll enjoy panoramic views over the buffeted west coast before dropping down to Cofete, a ramshackle hamlet.This mostly abandoned village is home to the mysterious Villa Winter, which is rumoured to have been a Nazi hideout after World War II. Next, it's off to Punta de Jandia at Fuerteventura's southern tip. Hopefully, you can enjoy a sunset over the lighthouse and Atlantic, before a snack and glass of wine at one of the few restaurants found in this remote part of the island. You'll then wind your way back to your hotel under the starlit sky.

Highlights of Fuerteventura Private Tour with Canarian Lunch

Explore Fuerteventura's plentiful supply of sights and scenery on an exclusive tour just for you and your party. You'll visit Pajara, Ajuy and Betancuria and there's a cheese tasting experience and a traditional lunch included, too. Yurena, one of our local guides, says, ‘We're so proud of our majorero cheese. The goats have been here for centuries, and their milk reflects how happy they are with island life – it's top quality, very pure, and has a high protein and fat content, making it perfect for cheese production.'First up is an aloe vera plantation, where you'll learn all about the plant's reputed healing properties. Then it's on to Pajara to visit its enigmatic Aztec-looking church. Next up is the remote village of Ajuy, with its black volcanic beach with colourful fishing boats. There's also a pit stop at Las Peñitas viewpoint – a standout selfie spot. We'll discover beautiful Betancuria, too. The island's first capital is now a sleepy, whitewashed village that's home to St Mary's Church – the oldest in the Canaries – whose simple façade hides a richly decorated interior.When you've worked up an appetite, there's a tasty lunch of local specialities to look forward to in Valle de Santa Ines. Hosted at a family-owned restaurant, your meal will be prepared with local, seasonal produce from the island. In the afternoon, you'll visit a goat farm, where you'll sample majorero cheese together with local jams and homemade mojo sauces as well as honey rum.

Private Sunset 4x4 Tour in Cofete and El Puertito

This exclusive experience takes you through southern Fuerteventura's desolate landscapes to the remote beach at Cofete and the fishing village of El Puertito. Juan Carlos, one of our local guides, says, ‘It's like being in another world as you're zooming down a mountainside dirt track looking over the wave crashing against an endless virgin beach. And then you spot a goat or squirrel, and remember you're still on planet Earth.' This untamed peninsula is perfect for exploring by 4x4. Even better when you see it all with family or friends on a private tour.You'll be whisked up and down dusty trails and volcanic ridges, zooming through desert-like badlands. After traversing these arid hills, we'll stop to drink in the panorama from the Cofete viewpoint. This lofty spot boasts spectacular vistas of the rugged north-west coastline, which is where you're headed next. Sweeping down the trail, you'll soon reach Cofete beach. It's a slice of wilderness where the blue waters of the Atlantic meet the golden coastline – a contrast of colours that's one of Fuerteventura's hallmarks.Superb sunset spots don't come much better than the lighthouse at Punta de Jandia, where you'll round off the day watching the sun go down with a glass of chilled cava in hand. You'll then stop by the small fishing village of El Puertito and enjoy a snack from a family-run bar. Savour the remoteness of this otherworldly corner of the island as you drive back through the lunar landscape under the stars.

Private Sunset Safari Tour to El Cotillo with Bayuyo Volcano

This exclusive off-road experience takes you through northern Fuerteventura's pockmarked volcanic landscapes to remote beaches and the fishing village of El Cotillo. On this private tour it's just you, your family or friends, plus the guide, so take it at your own pace. Juan Carlos, one of our local guides, says, ‘You can see a string of volcanic craters behind Corralejo. You visit the largest, Bayuyo, on this safari. The last eruption was about 10,000 years ago, spreading lava and ash across the north of the island, and it actually expanded the island by around 100 square kilometres.'You'll be whisked down rural trails and past lava fields as we zoom through Fuerteventura's scarred landscapes. Stopping at Bayuyo's scorched flanks, you'll get to see the crater up close. Juan Carlos adds, ‘A scurry of chipmunks is often waiting there to see if anyone has brought them a snack. They love nuts.' From here, you'll traverse arid terrain in your 4x4 until you reach the beachside hamlet of Majanicho on the northwest coast.Next, you'll follow sandy tracks parallel to the coastline until the splendid beaches and lagoons of El Cotillo come into view. Enjoy ¡ free time in El Cotillo and the chance to grab some dinner. There's a great variety of eateries, so take your pick – tasty tapas in a typical Canarian bar, fresh fish straight to your plate. Stroll to the harbour or enjoy the view from Tostón castle while the sun sinks slowly into the ocean.

El Cotillo Sunset 4x4 Safari in Fuerteventura with Bayuyo Volcano

This exclusive off-road experience takes you through northern Fuerteventura's volcanic landscapes to wave-washed fishing villages. And to top it all, your evening is rounded off with the chance to see an epic sunset. What's more, you'll do it in a small group of no more than 16 guests. Juan Carlos, one of our local guides, says, ‘Right from the go, it's a full-throttle adventure as you rumble through the Bayuyo badlands. With their scorched earth, dusty trails and volcanoes, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were on Mars.'We'll hook inland to the Bayuyo volcanic zone, zooming down dirt tracks and past craters on lava-scarred fields. There's a photo stop at the Bayuyo volcano itself, where with a bit of luck you might meet the friendly local chipmunks. ‘Bring some nuts,' advises Juan Carlos. We'll then make a beeline for Majanicho, a ramshackle hamlet huddled in a sheltered cove. From here, we'll follow the coastline on sandy trails until reaching the fishing village of El Cotillo. The waves have made it something of a mecca for surfers.Unlike the coastlines to its north and south, El Cotillo beach is black volcanic sand. You'll get to visit the three-in-one lighthouse and the Toston tower for some snaps. There's also free time to grab a bite to eat or poke around the village. It's then on to a viewpoint to watch the sun sink into the Atlantic while you sip on a chilled cava. Then drive back under the star-lit sky is the icing on the cake.
