What you'll do
Upon the arrival of your cruise ship, the guide will be waiting for you at the port, identified with the Shore2Shore sign. From here we begin our excursion aboard an air-conditioned bus, ready to discover the most outstanding treasures of Fuerteventura.
We head to Ajuy, a picturesque fishing village on the west coast of the island. This place is famous for its impressive natural caves (we will not enter them due to the difficulty of the terrain), its majestic cliffs, and its black volcanic sand beach—a unique and captivating landscape. You will have time to stroll and take photos of this wild setting that embodies the natural essence of Fuerteventura.
On our way to the next destination, we will pass through the authentic villages of Tiscamanita, Tuineje and Pájara, each with its own unique and picturesque character. We will make a stop at an aloe vera plantation, where we will discover the benefits of this emblematic plant of the Canary Islands. A brief demonstration will show its traditional and modern uses in cosmetics and health.
We continue to the Betancuria Rural Park, a protected area full of spectacular landscapes. We will stop at one of its panoramic viewpoints, ideal for enjoying unparalleled views of the valley and mountains, as well as for capturing these moments in photographs.
Our next stop is La Vega de Río Palmas, home to the Virgin of La Peña, patron saint of Fuerteventura. From here, we will head to Betancuria, the first capital of the Canary Islands, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Its cobbled streets, white houses, and green surroundings make it a charming place.
You will have free time to explore the village, visit the Church of Santa María or the Archaeological Museum (optional entry on your own). You can also relax on one of the welcoming terraces and sample the local cuisine.
Along the way, we will stop at Pepe’s Farm, where you can taste the famous Majorero cheeses, artisanally made from goat’s milk. This experience will be a delight for food lovers.
Our last major stop will be at the spectacular Corralejo Dunes, a unique place where the desert meets the sea. Here you can walk among the dunes, enjoy the scenery, and take photos of one of the most iconic landscapes of Fuerteventura.
On our way back, we will pass through the picturesque villages of La Oliva and Tindaya, with views of the majestic Tindaya volcano, steeped in history and legends of the Majorero aborigines.
We will arrive at the port with enough time to return comfortably to your cruise ship and take with you the memories of an unforgettable experience.
The order of the places to be visited may vary without prior notice due to possible unforeseen circumstances (ship arrival time, opening hours of places of interest to visit, etc.).
