What the Fuerteventura hiking tours cover
Six guided walks are bookable on the island at the moment, split between volcano, coast and farmland. The longest are the hike to the Gayría volcano and the hike along the wild coast, both 5 hours 30 minutes. The hike along the wild beaches takes 4 hours 30 minutes, and the hike up the sacred mountain 3 hours 30 minutes.
The two goat walks leave from Costa Calma and work differently. Goat trekking with a rustic picnic keeps you out for 5 hours 30 minutes and includes the picnic, while the family walk with goats covers the same ground in 3 hours.
Every walk is led by a guide who speaks Spanish, English and German, so you can book even if you are walking with people from other countries. All six are operated by Fuerte Authentic Tours and include hotel pickup.

For half a morning, choose the sacred mountain or the family walk with goats. For a full day on your feet, the Gayría volcano, the wild coast and the goat trekking all run past five hours. The two goat walks are marked as likely to sell out, so book a few days ahead in high season.
Where the walks start
Goat trekking and the family walk with goats start in Costa Calma, in the south. The other four are listed with a general Fuerteventura departure and, since all six include hotel pickup, the exact time and meeting point are confirmed when you book, based on where you are staying.
