Fuerteventura Island Tour Review: See All the Highlights

Okay, so you are thinking of taking a day to see the whole of Fuerteventura? The “Fuerteventura Panoramic Island Grand Tour All Highlights” is, well, a choice that a whole bunch of vacationers mull over when plotting out their island get away. Now, it’s almost like you are trying to squeeze every single drop of Canary Island sunshine into a day, a mission to absorb its awesome beauty, is that a worthwhile expense of both time and dinero? Well, I’ve just got back, so let’s have a good honest conversation about it, yeah?

First stop, Getting to Grips with the Itinerary

Alright, so, the tour pretty much, as I was saying, wraps a fair amount into a day. Actually, the trips that tend to run, more or less, from morning till evening—think roughly 9 AM to 6 PM—cover key places that the island is pretty well known for. Of course, you might just see the ancient capital Betancuria (very much like traveling back), Ajuy’s black sand beaches that have been aged perfectly, and then a handful of vista points offering sprawling views. Too, it’s almost a greatest hits album for Fuerteventura, carefully picked for first-timers wanting a sampler of the island’s delights. Apparently, the operators toss in a little taste of local goods; so picture trying some goats cheese and Aloe Vera which are very Fuerteventura.

Is This the Tour for You? What to Consider

Okay, so, is this the tour tailored to you? Is that the big question. I mean, if you like really getting into stuff, that is digging really deep into places, it could be a bit broad brush, yeah? Very much the kind of thing where you spend, oh, about an hour in a spot before rushing onto the next. Of course, the plus? You see a bit more in a single day than, well, most people could on their own. Actually, travelers that tend to appreciate this are usually folks who are shorter on time, maybe just want a survey course of the landscape, instead of exploring extensively, if that makes sense?

What Were the Tour Highlights?

Alright, now for the juicy details. Very Betancuria. As a matter of fact the former capital, is, in a way, incredibly charming; really quaint streets make it a place that whispers old tales. As I was saying, the stark lava formations alongside the shoreline near Ajuy that is totally cool too. Actually, a really cool thing happens at those spots. You know, it’s almost picture-postcard spots dot the tour route – just incredible selfie backdrops that even I couldn’t resist.

The Guide, Transport and Lunch Logistics

Basically, the make-or-break is, seemingly, all in the details: Is that right? First, typically you have a guide. So, they are very armed with history and, arguably, able to yarn-spin stories to add a bit of zest while you’re trucking all around. Too, it’s almost all air-conditioned busses for moving from locale to locale which is basically good during those peak summer months. What do you reckon the lunch will be? Normally included, however just fair. Very much fuel to get you moving rather than something to write home about.

Okay, so the Positives and Negatives?

Of course, let’s even things out, alright? So picture you are trying to see everything, you get, you know, the ‘Overview Effect’ where you witness lots of places sans any depth – could be perceived in a slightly positive or very negative manner. Still, those very convenient transfers mean zero car rental issues. Yet, there’s seemingly less spontaneity versus doing it solo when you’re sticking alongside pre-decided routes and timetables.

Dollars and Cents – Making Sure It’s a good investment.

Now, talking cost, so these big tours can, could be, in a way, quite affordable, that is for the full package, even so just weigh them up next to the costs if going rogue with a rented car. Then weigh up what that autonomy gives you as you check out those quieter corners where coaches aren’t usually found, know what I’m saying?

Personal stories that should guide you

So I’m dropping in one or two stories. Very first? Too it’s almost some mature people telling me this tour enabled a glimpse they could never see because of their difficulties traveling alone. And those other people that basically craved total liberty felt kinda pinned down because they weren’t able to make unpredicted turns after, arguably, a beach or café flashed into their sights.

Final say; that summing it up type thing.

Of course, now, in my view? Really. “The Fuerteventura Panoramic Island Grand Tour All Highlights” basically delivers exactly what the tin promises – a broad sweep tour through numerous hotspots within a day. Still, there’s this catch; are you satisfied just scratching the surface instead of sinking deep into Fuerteventura? In the end, is that dictated directly by what constitutes perfection when you get time away on your holidays?
