Jeep tours in the Canary Islands are one of the most fun and exciting ways to explore the islands. Tourists know why to do the jeep tours and the benefits of jeep tours over renting a car and discovering the islands on their own.
Below we present the most interesting places to visit on a jeep safari for each island.
Fuerteventura’s great tourist attraction is its golden sandy beaches. This is why, the Fuerteventura jeep safaris have the visit to its best-known beaches as their main attraction.
Cofete beach. The jeep safari to Cofete is, without a doubt, the best option to get to know the Jandía peninsula and reach Cofete Beach. Even though this excursion includes pick-ups in the Fuerteventura tourist areas, the tour actually starts from Morro Jable. Almost the entire route is done on dirt and stone roads, so it’s hard to reach this beach in any other type of vehicle. Although the tour is fun and we’ll visit other places, the tour’s greatest attraction is the visit to Cofete Beach, the most spectacular, wild and largest on the island, as it’s more than 14 km long and more than 50 meters wide, surrounded by a mountain range that’s up to 800 meters high.
Northern beaches of Fuerteventura. On the jeep tour in northern Fuerteventura you’ll discover the most famous beaches in the north of the island. Corralejo Beach is located in the Corralejo Natural Park and stands out due to its huge dunes and turquoise waters. Among those known as Cotillo Beaches, the Aguila beach stands out, a long and narrow beach encased by a cliff, whose waves are favorites for the surfers who visit the island. Other beaches such as Playa de la Concha or Lagunas de Cotillo are smaller and quieter, so they are usually frequented by families.
Gran Canaria stands out, among other things, for its more than 50 huge and deep ravines. Many of the tourists seek to get to know the island differently, combining nature, fun and adventure, something that jeep safaris offer.
The Grand Canyon of Gran Canaria and Barranco de Arguineguin. On the Gran Canaria jeep tour you’ll discover the Barranco de Arguineguin, or rather you’ll cross it, but not on a path through the bottom of the ravine. You’ll go through the ravine along a narrow dirt and stone path located at an altitude of about 500 meters, so that you can enjoy one of the most beautiful and unknown landscapes on the island.
Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary Archipelago and the most visited island. It has many charms and places to visit. We’re only going to focus on two of them because of their beauty and for being the greatest attractions of the Tenerife jeep safaris.
Masca. The town of Masca is one of the most charming towns in Tenerife and the islands. Located in the northwest of Tenerife, at the foot of a huge rock in the Teno Massif and in the middle of a large ravine, is this small town that can only be reached by following a narrow, curvy and uneven road, which requires expert drivers who’ll take us in a jeep safari to Masca.
Gomera Island. The jeep excursion from Tenerife to La Gomera is the best way to get to know this small island of just 100 square km, located just 40 km from Los Cristianos Pier. For your comfort, the tour includes pick-up services in Tenerife’s main tourist areas, the ferry ticket, food and the return to your accommodation, so you only need to focus on enjoying the tour. The tour’s great attractions are the views of the island’s large rocks or domes, walking through the Garajonay National Park laurel forest and visiting San Sebastián de la Gomera.
The volcano island is a paradise to be visited by 4×4. All the most important places to visit are related to the island’s volcanic activity, including the Timanfaya National Park and the island’s Art, Culture and Tourism Centers. Although you can visit these places on your own or with an organized tour, here we’ll present some of the attractions of the island that deserve to be explored on a jeep tour in Lanzarote.
Famara beach. Located in the northwest of Lanzarote, Famara beach is one of the most impressive beaches on the island. Protected by the imposing Famara cliff, this 6 km long beach of golden sand is ideal for practicing kitesurfing and windsurfing due to its strong wind and waves.
Papagayo beaches. Located in the extreme southeast of Lanzarote, the Papagayo beaches are made up of a group of coves with golden sand and calm, crystalline waters, ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
In short, the 4×4 tours will bring you closer to many of the most spectacular and beautiful sites on the islands, places that are difficult to access, but which can be reached in the suggested jeep safaris.
