Boasting an abundance of watersports including windsurfing and kitesurfing, alongside its excellent location, it is a great place to visit for all holiday-makers.

Betancuria

Fueteventura’s interior boasts rugged peaks of extinct volcanoes separated by wide lowland plains dotted with small villages and old fashioned windmills. For those looking for less touristy things to do in Fuerteventura, the pretty village of Betancuria, built on a small volcano, is famous as the island's ancient capital and for the Church of Santa Maria with its gilded altars, decorated beams and sacred relics.

Oasis Park & Zoo

Set in lush gardens, the zoo houses more than 250 types of animals and offers shows with sea lions, reptiles, parrots and birds of prey. There is a botanical and large cactus garden and opportunities for camel rides.

Isla de los Lobos

Just offshore to the north of Corralejo, between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, is the tiny island of Isla de los Lobos, named after the once abundant monk seals (lobos marinos). For things to do in Fuerteventura this little island has a lot to offer. Divers, snorkelers, surfers and sporting fishermen claim the clear waters although for those slightly less adventurous, barbecue excursions and swimming trips are enhanced by sailing across in glass-bottomed cruisers. This islet is great for those wanting to do a spot of walking as the island is classed as a nature reserve and visitors are able to walk around it within a few hours. However, walkers must remember to stick to the paths provided. With a couple of beaches Isla de los Lobos is a great day-trip for those looking for somewhere a little quieter than the main island.

Submarine Tour

At the southern end of the island, enjoy a once in a lifetime experience in an authentic submarine which dives down to depths of 30m where the clear waters allow you to study the local marine life. These submarine tours are a great choice for those looking for one of the more fantastic, memorable and alternative things to do in Fuerteventura.
