Wild North and Corralejo Guided Tour from Southern Fuerteventura

From the south to the wild north

Fuerteventura is a long island, and the journey from Morro Jable, Costa Calma or Jandia to the north takes more than an hour each way, which is why a guided trip from the south is convenient. The road crosses dry plains, past small villages and low volcanic mountains, and your guide uses the drive to explain the island's history, climate and traditions.

This tour is designed for visitors based in the south who want to see the north without driving. The route may include several stops, and the guide decides the order according to traffic, weather and the group.

The volcanic landscape and the guided hike

The north of Fuerteventura is a young volcanic landscape of dark cones, lava fields and open views. A guided hike takes you off the road and onto the trails, where the guide explains the geology and the plants and animals that survive in this dry environment.

The hike is moderate, so wear closed shoes and bring water and sun protection. Many people ask whether it is worth visiting the north of Fuerteventura, and the answer is yes, because it is wilder and emptier than the resort south.

Corralejo Dunes Natural Park

The Corralejo Dunes Natural Park is one of the most photographed places on Fuerteventura, with about ten kilometres of pale sand dunes running beside a turquoise sea and with the dark shape of Lobos Island close offshore. It is protected, and the dunes are best seen on foot.

The contrast between the bright sand, the blue water and the black volcanic hills makes it one of the best landscapes of the Canary Islands. The tour makes time to walk here and take photos, and the light is best in the morning.

Corralejo town and harbour

Corralejo is the main town of the north, a former fishing village that has grown into a lively resort with a seafront promenade, shops and restaurants. Its harbour is the departure point for ferries to Lobos Island and to Lanzarote, so it feels busy and international.

There is time to see the harbour and the seafront, and to take a break before the drive south. The exact stops can change, and the tour ends with a return to your hotel in the south of the island. It is a good place to pick up a small souvenir or rest before the long drive back to the south.
