Things to Do With Children in Fuerteventura

What Children's Excursions Are There in Fuerteventura?

In general, of course, there are no organized tours that children can attend alone. For young people from 16 years, it’s different. Otherwise, you book your trip as a parent-child team and experience it as a family. At the end of this article you will find all the activities we offer in Fuerteventura. These are ordered by the minimum age that children must have to participate. This is to facilitate your search for things to do with children. These are the most popular trips among families with children:

Surfing for Kids

Some surf schools offer classes specifically for children. The surf instructors are specially trained to teach this great water sport to the youngest surfers. Surf schools, which also train children, can be found in Corralejo and Jandía Playa, for example.

Boat Trips with Children

Attention! Save yourself, who can! The pirates board the ship! It is the motto on some boat trips offered in Fuerteventura. For children it is a highlight, to travel on a pirate ship and do what pirates do. The entertainers are dressed authentically and even take the smallest pirate on this tour. There is real pirate food, a hidden treasure and the little pirates are made up and dressed up.

Buggy Tour With Children

The enthusiasm will have no limits. The children are allowed to sit next to mom or dad in the buggy and see firsthand how the car rushes through the rough curves or hurls over the dusty gravel road.

Jeep Tours With Children

In addition to bathing fun, the nature experience is high up for children. Exploring Fuerteventura by jeep with your children is a true adventure. Driving up winding roads in the volcanic landscape and nature of the island.

Why Are the Beaches Ideal for Children in Fuerteventura?

This is not just because of the fine sand at most of the beaches. Many beaches are naturally or artificially protected by bays and docks. Thus, currents and high waves have few chances to get close to the shore. Added to that, the beaches are flat and shallow. So you can let your kids play in the sea without worrying. The kids enjoy the fun and have a great entertainment. However, you know, of course, that you should never leave the little ones unattended.

Our recommendations: These are the best beaches for children in Fuerteventura. They are mostly protected from the wind and waves.

In the north: Playa los Lagos at El Cotillo, Playa Galera in Corralejo
In the east: Playa del Castillo in Caleta de Fuste
In the south: Playa de Costa Calma in Costa Calma, Playa del Matorral in Jandía

Important note on safety: You should definitely avoid the western beaches with children. Swimming here is even dangerous for adults due to the strong wind and currents.

For school-age children, the possible travel dates are limited to the holiday periods. With smaller children and babies you can travel whenever you want. In winter, as in summer, here are pleasant temperatures around 25 degrees and the rainfall is hardly significant. Maybe the summer is the better time to travel, because then the wind blows less strong and the probability of precipitation is absolutely zero.

Yes. As long as your child is smaller than 135 centimeters, it must be seated into an age-appropriate child seat in the car. The kids may only travel on the rear seat, unless it is already occupied by other child seats or the car has no rear seat.
