The Allure of a Private Experience
This tour’s biggest draw is its private setting. With just your group, you can set the pace, linger at spots you love, and ask plenty of questions. It’s a tailored journey rather than a one-size-fits-all bus outing, which means you get more meaningful photo opportunities and personalized insights.
The cost of $147.77 per person might seem steep at first glance, but when you consider the all-day access to varied landscapes, expert guiding, and a private vehicle, it’s a good deal for those craving an immersive experience. Plus, the tour includes pickup, which removes a logistical hassle, and a mobile ticket ensures easy access.
The Itinerary Explored
Stop 1: Dunas de Corralejo — Desert Meets Ocean
As the first stop, the Corralejo Dunes Natural Park is a highlight. These towering sands, created by Sahara winds, form the largest dune system in the Canaries. We loved the way the tour crosses the entire park in the camper, offering sweeping views of the dunes and the shimmering ocean. A walk into the dunes reveals the silence and vastness of the landscape — perfect for those breathtaking photos.
Reviewers like Nathan R found this part especially memorable, describing it as a great way to see the northern landscape with Alessio’s thoughtful narration adding context. The free admission makes it a low-cost highlight that adds significant visual drama.
Stop 2: Volcanes de Bayuyo — Giants in the Landscape
Next, the route takes us along the Volcano Road, where the massive lava cones dominate the horizon. The sight of these volcanic formations, with the islands of Lobos and Lanzarote visible on the horizon, is something you won’t forget. A short stop here allows plenty of time to take photos and soak in the grandeur of the volcanic landscape.
The volcanoes are not just scenic; they’re a reminder of the island’s fiery origins. One reviewer spoke about the “sinuous road through volcanic cones” and the evocative view that made the landscape feel like another planet. It’s a landscape that speaks to the raw power of nature and the island’s volcanic past.
Stop 3: Majanicho Beach — Surf, Sand, and Local Flavors
Midday, the tour heads to Majanicho, a picturesque fishing village on the north coast. Here, you’ll admire the lively surf scene and sample Canarian dishes at “El Localito”. The food is prepared with love, offering a taste of authentic local flavors — a real highlight for food lovers.
You’ll also have a brief walk through the village, capturing the quaint charm and vibrant atmosphere. Reviewers mention the perfect timing for watching surfers and experiencing the local vibe. It’s an ideal spot for a laid-back lunch and some souvenir photos.
Stop 4: El Cotillo — Cliffs and Sunset
The final leg takes you to El Cotillo, a fishing village renowned for its dramatic cliffs and tranquil beaches. Here, you can relax with a swim, enjoy a cold drink, and watch the sun dip into the ocean — a peaceful closing to a day filled with varied sights.
With free time to explore on foot, this stop emphasizes the authentic coastal lifestyle. Reviewers appreciate the chance to unwind and take in the scenic sunset while feeling connected to the local spirit.
The Experience in Practice
The duration of 8 to 9 hours means you’ll cover a lot without feeling rushed. The tour departs at 10:00 am — plenty of time to enjoy the morning light and avoid midday crowds. The vehicle, equipped for comfort, ensures a smooth ride over the island’s diverse terrain, and the small group or private setting allows for flexible pacing.
What Travelers Say
One of the most praised aspects, according to reviews, is Alessio’s guiding style. Nathan R describes him as an “adventurer at heart” who prepared a delicious homemade lunch with pasta, ceviche, and salad, adding a personal touch that elevates the experience. The guide’s local knowledge and passion are evident, making the day feel less like a tour and more like visiting a friend’s island home.
