Activities and excursions
Boat trips, hiking, water sports and guided tours around Fuerteventura, bookable online.
Day trip to Gran Canaria
From Morro Jable harbour, the Fred Olsen and Naviera Armas fast ferries reach Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in about 1 h 45 min: a whole island for a day trip.
Experiences not to miss
Whales and dolphins
The waters off Jandía are home to whales and dolphins all year round. Several boat trips depart from the area to spot them.
Turtle nursery
At the harbour, rescued turtles recover before being returned to the sea: a short visit, perfect for children.
Jandía lighthouse
The 60-metre lighthouse marks the southern tip of the island: one of the best spots to watch the sunset.
Thursday market
Every Thursday, on Avenida del Saladar (next to the Cosmo centre), a market with clothes, crafts, souvenirs and local flavours.
Practical tips
Car hire. The island is best enjoyed by car. A trusted local company: CICAR.
The road to Cofete. It's a dirt track not suitable for ordinary cars: a 4×4 jeep tour is better.
On the beach. Lifeguards all year, sun loungers and parasols for hire, and beach bars along the promenade.
