What you can do on Fuerteventura excursions
There are 14 activities in six groups: guided hiking, goat walks, boat trips, a buggy tour, a food workshop and photo sessions. The four hikes range from 3 hours 30 minutes on the sacred mountain of El Cardón to 5 hours 30 minutes on the Gayría volcano and the wild west coast, with the wild beaches route (4 hours 30 minutes) in between.
At sea there are three departures, all in the south: a speedboat from Morro Jable (1.5 hours), a glass-bottom boat in Jandía (4 hours) and a pirate ship with lunch (4 hours). On land you have the 800cc buggy from Corralejo (2 hours 30 minutes), goat trekking with a picnic and the family walk with goats around Costa Calma, the Majorero cheese workshop and the Caleta de Fuste photo sessions, which start from 30 minutes.

Time is the easiest filter. For half a morning you have the speedboat (1.5 hours), the buggy (2 hours 30 minutes), the family walk with goats (3 hours) or the El Cardón hike (3 hours 30 minutes). The 4 and 5.5 hour routes and the 4 hour boats take the whole day. With small children, the goat walk and the glass-bottom boat are the easiest.
What we do not have yet
There is no full island tour, no ferry trip to Lobos Island, no windsurfing or kitesurfing lessons and no outing to Cofete beach in our catalogue at the moment. We keep adding operators and this page is updated as they come in. Meanwhile, Canary Islands tours and excursions covers the other islands.
Where the excursions start
Four departure areas are named on the cards: Corralejo for the buggy, Caleta de Fuste for the photo sessions, Costa Calma for the goat walks, and Morro Jable and Jandía for the boats. The four guided hikes are listed simply as Fuerteventura and cover the inland volcanoes and the west coast. The pirate ship is the only one that states hotel pickup in its title; for the rest, check the card. You can also browse by resort: Corralejo, Morro Jable, Costa Calma and Caleta de Fuste.
Practical information
The 4 and 5.5 hour hikes call for closed shoes, water and sun protection, as the inland routes and the west coast have almost no shade. The wind blows on most days and picks up in the afternoon, so the shorter boat trips tend to work better early. The cheese workshop gives no length on its card, and the buggy has its own requirements for whoever drives: those details, along with group size, minimum age and cancellation terms, are set out on each activity.
