About this tour
This 8-hour van tour across southern Fuerteventura reveals the island's raw geography—volcanic ridges, wind-sculpted terrain, and stretches of black and golden sand. You'll explore Ajuy's sea caves and fishing village, taste Majorero cheese at a working farm, climb to ridge-top viewpoints above Betancuria, and spend time on the sprawling Sotavento beach. A local guide drives, narrating the landscape's formation and island life as you move between stops.

- Two elevated viewpoints overlooking volcanic Betancuria mountains
- 18-kilometre Sotavento beach for swimming and walking
- Fishing village atmosphere and local restaurant options
- Private guide-driver for groups of up to eight
What to expect
You'll travel by van with a resident guide who knows the back roads and can point out how wind and lava have shaped each valley. The pace is gentle—you stop often to look, walk short distances, and absorb the rhythm of the place. At Ajuy, the caves are accessible via a short scramble; the beach invites a swim or lunch break at a village restaurant. The Betancuria viewpoints take 10–15 minutes to reach on foot. Sotavento is enormous and mostly quiet; bring water and sun cream. The farm visit includes a proper tasting of local cheese and explains how herding works on this dry island.
Good to know
Bring plenty of water, hat, and sunscreen—shade is limited. Wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven terrain. Lunch isn't included; pack snacks or eat at Ajuy village. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves some light walking and climbing. Public transport exists nearby if you prefer self-guided exploration.
