1. Excursion to Lanzarote, between volcanoes and black sand beaches

If you feel like exploring beyond Fuerteventura, an excursion to Lanzarote is a perfect opportunity. In just half an hour by ferry, you can reach an island that seems to be from another planet, with volcanic landscapes, black beaches and vineyards growing in ash.

Timanfaya National Park, with its fiery ground and natural geysers, is a must-see. You can also visit the Jameos del Agua, created by César Manrique, and taste the local wines in La Geria.

2. Catamaran ride to Lobos Island

A few minutes by boat from Corralejo is the island of Lobos, a small protected paradise where nature is still intact. Its turquoise waters are perfect for snorkeling, swimming or just relaxing on the deck of a catamaran with a drink in hand.

In addition, you can walk along its volcanic trails and discover its iconic lighthouse, a perfect place to disconnect from the world.

    The riding experience on Fuerteventura was unique and the scenery was breathtaking, but I think they could improve the previous instructions for beginners.

    The excursion to Cofete offers breathtaking scenery, but it would be ideal to improve the organisation of the departure and return times.
