Fuerteventura North Tapas Tour - Corralejo Dunes, El Cotillo Lighthouse & Volcano Walk
Select participants and date
The van hums down a sun-bleached road and the Atlantic opens to the left like an invitation. Luke, the guide, gestures toward a strip of powder-white dunes ahead; wind has sculpted them into hard, rippling crests that dare you to climb. For the next four to five hours the island becomes a series of short acts—salt-sweet surf at the promenade, a lighthouse that squints into the swell, a volcanic throat you can step into—and between them, a generous tapas spread to refuel and compare notes.

Adventure Tips
Bring layered sun protection
Wind chills can make mornings cool while midday is hot—pack a breathable jacket, sunscreen and a sun hat.
Sturdy shoes for dunes and volcanic rock
Sand and rough lava both demand supportive shoes with grip; flip-flops are not recommended.
Carry a refillable water bottle
Tapas are salty and the island is dry—refill between stops to stay hydrated.
Plan for wind
If you’re shooting photos or enjoying the lighthouse, bring a windproof layer and secure small items.
