They offer children a great place to romp, play and, of course, swim. Extensive beach days stand out in Fuerteventura nothing. This article describes what makes the island so attractive for the offspring and their parents, what they can experience here and what organized excursions you can do with children.

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.
What Should You Consider When Booking?
Of course, the excursion you want to book with your children must be suitable. That means, the requirements of the age of the children, as well as the physical aspects (such as height, fitness, etc.) must be met. In the detailed descriptions of our excursions you will find these data under “Please note!” and “Services & Prices”. If something is still unclear, you can contact us at any time.
Book your desired excursions in advance. Especially in the summer, boat trips and buggy tours are booked up extremely fast, so that usually a short-term reservations are almost impossible.
Are There Attractions For Children on Fuerteventura?
There is a lot to do for kids on Fuerteventura:
Close to Costa Calma, the Oasis Park is home to more than 3,000 animals over approximately 800,000 square meters. Here you will meet many exotics and dangerous predators. The amazement and enthusiasm of your children will be endless.
The Agua Water Park in Corralejo will be just as exciting. Breakneck water slides transport you and your kids into the refreshing water at top speed.
Go kart driving is always a good idea. You can do that at Puerto del Rosario and Tamaretilla.
And finally, you can also follow in the footsteps of the real pirates who roamed the caves of Ajuy in the Middle Ages with the little ones.
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.
Best Place to Stay in Fuerteventura With Children
Infrastructure and supply on Fuerteventura correspond to that of a Central European country. The roads are well developed and there are a large number of rental cars available. In supermarkets, there are the same products and foods for children and babies as anywhere in Europe. Of course, you will also find baby food from well-known brands on the island. In addition, medical care is at a high Central European standard.

Which Season Is Ideal For Kids on Fuerteventura?
Due to the year-round balanced climate Fuerteventura is suitable to spend the holidays with children there for 12 months a year. 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.
Are Child Seats Mandatory in Cars on Fuerteventura?
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.
