Starting with a brief introduction to the bike, the experience is accessible to riders with some motor experience. You’ll appreciate how the guide, Luke, makes sure you’re comfortable before setting off, which is especially helpful if you’re a bit nervous about riding.
Once underway, expect to cruise along quiet roads that wind through volcanic landscapes, small villages, and open plains. The tour isn’t just about speed or adrenaline; it’s about savoring the scenery and feeling connected to the island.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out
The highlight for many is the chance to explore famous sand dunes—an iconic feature of Fuerteventura. Riding past these massive sandy formations, you’ll get a sense of the island’s volcanic history and unique terrain. The guide’s local knowledge shines here, sharing stories about the island’s nature and culture, which adds depth to the experience.
Another favorite aspect is the small group format. With just a few riders, the pace is relaxed, and Luke can provide tailored advice or assistance as needed. This makes the trip enjoyable for beginners and seasoned riders alike, as Sergey from a review noted, “Luke is very patient, especially with those who have little experience riding a motorcycle. He gives advice and helps with everything.”
What to Expect at Each Stop
- Introduction & Safety Briefing: Before hitting the road, Luke will familiarize you with the bike and safety gear. It’s a quick but essential step to boost your confidence.
- Volcanic Landscapes: The route takes you through areas shaped by volcanic activity, offering dramatic views and rugged terrain.
- Small Villages: Experience local life as the tour passes through tiny communities, often with the chance for quick photo stops.
- Open Plains & Coastal Viewpoints: The expansive plains give a feeling of freedom, while coastal views offer breathtaking scenery.
- Sand Dunes: The tour culminates with a ride through the island’s famed dunes, a photo-worthy highlight.
The Experience on the Road
You’ll be riding off-road tires on some sections, adding a bit of grit and excitement. The guide’s extensive experience ensures safety and smooth riding, whether you’re a novice or a more experienced rider. The ride is paced to give plenty of time to soak in each vista, with stops for photos and storytelling.

Practical Considerations and Tips
