Select participants and date
You step out of the shuttle and the wind greets you—firm, saline, and insistent—pushing a fine spray of sand across an 18‑kilometre beach. That wind has shaped Fuerteventura for millennia, carving dunes that shift like slow waves and hollowing black‑sand coves where lava once met the Atlantic. On a private seven‑hour tour the island unfolds like a series of quiet acts: volcanic rims, lunar flats of sand, sleepy fishing hamlets and wide beaches where kites fly like technicolor sails.

Adventure Tips
Pack for wind
A windproof jacket and hat will keep you comfortable on exposed beaches and crater rims where gusts are constant.
Sturdy footwear
Bring closed shoes with grip if you plan to hike Calderón Hondo or scramble among Ajuy’s volcanic rock.
Cash for small villages
Many coastal cafés and local eateries accept only cash—carry some euros for quick lunches or taxis.
Protect from reflectivity
High UV reflects off sand and water; use high‑SPF sunscreen and polarized sunglasses for long stops.
