Fuerteventura: Jandia Peninsula Tour from Caleta de Fuste

If you’re heading to Fuerteventura and want to see some of the most iconic spots on the island’s southern tip, this Jandia Peninsula Tour offers a solid balance of natural beauty, leisure, and local flavor. Priced at $76 per person for a full day of exploring, it’s a VIP-style experience that takes you from your hotel in Caleta de Fuste into the wild and scenic landscapes of the Jandia National Park, along with visits to Sotavento Beach and the charming town of Morro Jable. Guides like Kasper, according to reviews, make a real effort to keep things lively, informative, and friendly.

What we really appreciate about this tour is how it combines stunning viewpoints and unspoiled nature with some relaxing beach time. The walk through the La Pared Nature Reserve offers a chance to see the rugged west coast, while Sotavento’s vast lagoons invite you for a swim and some peaceful sunbathing. Plus, the chance to sample local Canary Islands cuisine in Morro Jable adds a tasty local flavor to the day.

One thing to consider is that this tour involves walking on uneven trails, particularly in the national park and the La Pared area, so comfortable shoes are a must.

What’s Included and How It Works

This 7-hour VIP tour starts with hotel pickup, making it easy to begin your adventure without logistical stress. The journey is in an air-conditioned van, which is comfortable after a morning of sightseeing. Your guide, like Kasper, will lead you through some of the most striking areas of the Jandia Peninsula, blending natural scenery with cultural highlights.

The tour is designed for small groups, which means more personal attention and fewer crowds. This setup is a real plus if you prefer a more intimate experience, and it helps keep the atmosphere friendly and relaxed.

Visiting Jandia National Park and La Pared

The highlight for many is the walk through Jandia National Park, a landscape of dunes and rugged terrain that feels like a quiet desert. We loved the way the guide pointed out the flora and fauna, making the natural environment come alive. The short walk (about 10-15 minutes each way) through La Pared offers sweeping views of the west coast, where the jagged cliffs and pounding waves paint a picture of the island’s wild side.

From these viewpoints, you’ll get a sense of how dramatic and unspoiled the coastline really is. Several reviews mention that the scenery is truly breathtaking, with one traveler noting that the “views were spectacular,” and another describing the landscape as “unforgettable.”

Sotavento Beach: The Queen of Beaches

After the inland adventures, the tour heads to Sotavento, famous for its turquoise lagoons and expansive sandy beaches. This is where you can swim, sunbathe, or simply relax as the gentle waves roll in. It’s also a prime spot for photographers and anyone wanting a memorable beach scene—some of the most Instagram-worthy moments on Fuerteventura.

Many travelers praise Sotavento as “one of the most photographed beaches on Instagram,” and reviews highlight its tranquility. The free time here allows for walks along the sand, paddling in the lagoons, or soaking up the sun.
