Here's all you need to know about jeep tours, one of the most exhilarating outdoor activities in Fuerteventura.

What are the best jeep tours in Fuerteventura?

Half-day jeep tour in Southern Fuerteventura

The southern tip of Fuerteventura is dominated by the Jandia Natural Park and it's known for its seemingly never-ending beaches, as well as the conspiracy theorist magnet that is Casa Winter. After meeting the rest of the tour party, your guides and crew, you’ll follow a narrow dirt track winding its way into the Cofete Mountains.

Your guide and driver will tell you more about the local wildlife and you’ll see the vegetation change as you climb higher, stopping to admire a panoramic view of the mountains and plains, as well as the Atlantic Ocean and its snowy white beaches. Following an eerily deserted dirt road, you’ll travel to the infamous Casa Winter and listen to the host of myths and legends that accompany it.

Next, it’s on to a traditional local restaurant where you’ll enjoy a true Canarian lunch — before continuing your journey to the island’s peninsula and the ancient lighthouse that still watches over these waters. After admiring the breathtaking view from the peninsula, you’ll journey back to your hotel.

Northern Fuerteventura half-day jeep tour

Northern Fuerteventura is known for its rolling sand dunes, pristine beaches and otherworldly volcanic plains. But to really get a feel for this unique island, you’ll need to leave the tarmac behind and head into its seemingly desolate wilderness, and that’s precisely what this jeep tour has in store.

Your group will start off in Corralejo, from where you’ll travel to Valverde, learning about the island’s fascinating history along the way. Next, you’ll travel to La Oliva, a charming little town that looks like it stepped out of a Clint Eastwood film.

Then it's back off the road again as you head to Tindaya — a mountain shrouded in legend and mysticism and is still referred to as “The Sacred Mountain”. While visiting this hallowed bit of earth, your guide will tell you how Tindaya still plays a critical role in local beliefs and traditions.

Then it’s on to Toston Castle, a fortification that helped protect the island against pirates from England, France and the Barbary Coast. Here, you may enjoy a swim in the crystal clear waters and enjoy lunch before traveling back to your hotel.
