Fuerteventura Holidays

There are plenty of companies all over Fuerteventura that offer excursions through the stunning countryside. All you have to do is decide whether you’d rather explore by horse or camel! A horseback ride or camel safari will create incredible memories you won't forget in a hurry. Both adults and children are welcome.

If you can tear yourself away from the sun-drenched beaches, then head further inland to explore some of the traditional Canarian villages. A visit to the old capital of Fuerteventura, Betancuria, is an ideal way to get a burst of history and culture in one. The traditional town has been incredibly well preserved and remains immaculate.

Fuerteventura produces its own unique cheese called Majorero. It is made from the milk of the goats that famously roam the island and you may find yourself wanting to take it all home with you. The goats themselves can also be found in many traditional Canarian dishes, such as goat stew. Fuerteventura's fresh seafood is not to be missed either.

The volcanic island of Fuerteventura is one of the few places where you can see hot rocks, geysers, craters and vast lava fields. With such a unique landscape, it’s no wonder there are a host of excursions and tours by foot, bike, camel or quad bike enabling visitors to experience the stunning natural surroundings. El Golfo - known as the Green Lagoon - will amaze you with its striking green tint, a phenomenon caused by oxidation in the rocks.

Pick up your parrot and hop aboard The Pedra Sartaña, a Spanish schooner that’s ready to sail the seven seas. Equipped with pirateworthy woodwork, barrels and high masts towering above, the schooner will make for a spectacular day out where the kids can take part in a host of fun activities including treasure hunts, games and learning to hoist the sails. Parents can choose to chill on deck or walk the plank and go for a dip in the warm waters!

Oasis Park faithfully recreates natural habitats for a range of reptiles, birds and mammals. The park houses over 3,000 animals and includes the animal park, an African savannah, botanical gardens and reptile centre. Visitors can see giraffes, hippos, sea lions and more. If you fancy a closer look, head up to the viewing platform where you can see the giraffes at eye level and don’t forget to check out the park’s reptile, sea lion, parrot and bird of prey shows.
