VISIT FUERTEVENTURA WITHOUT A CAR

​

For the guests of www.ohanaguesthouse.com and Fuerteventura Surf Camp and for all those who are interested in visiting the island of Fuerteventura, I suggest you visit our island without a car and in this blog I specifically give you all the information I know to move around the north and especially through Corralejo, Lajares and Cotillo and especially reaching many beaches without the need to rent a car.

 

Once you arrive on the island, whether you arrive by boat or by plane, the Tiadhe bus company will allow you to access the most important towns on the island. Near the ports of Morro Jable, Puerto del Rosario and Corralejo, and also at the Matorral Airport you will find a bus stop, or guagua as here we call buses, from the Tiadhe company that allows you to communicate with the rest of the island. In the link www.tiahde.com you will find the routes and schedules to organize your visit.

 

 

If you arrive by plane, you will find the bus stop at the airport exit, on the street almost in front of the international arrivals gate. To get to Corralejo from the airport it is necessary to take two buses, the first from the airport to the central station of Puerto del Rosario, bus 03, and from Puerto del Rosario to Corralejo, bus 06.

 

The need to change buses makes us lose a little time, although this need does not deviate us from the straightest route, but we must always

lose a few minutes to wait for the second bus. This circumstance becomes more inconvenient when we make the journey in reverse and we go to the airport to catch our flight to return home, I mean that arriving at the airport on time is essential to not miss the flight, therefore the lack of security to The time to calculate what time you can arrive at the airport due to the need to wait in the central station of Puerto del Rosario for the bus to arrive that will take us to the airport with the possibility that this bus will arrive with some delay, etc. ... does not suit us greatly. For this reason there is a private shuttle company that makes the trip between the Airport and Corralejo directly and with a safe schedule. Its price is around one euro per person more expensive than the bus.

 

If you decide to hire a shuttle service I must make three recommendations , here you have the link to make the online reservation https://www.shuttlespaintransfers.com since it cannot be done when you arrive at the airport, also and more importantly, you must book as soon as possible because it fills up and Above all, it must be reserved 48 hours in advance for the reservation to be accepted, and finally explain that as you will understand soon, we are on an island and as in most islands things work more calmly, and that is what What will you need to have, I say it because although on the route that goes from Corralejo to the Airport the schedules are fulfilled since the company is aware of the responsibility of ensuring arrival at the airport on time, on the route that goes from the Airport to Corralejo I have been check that sometimes the client must wait more than 40 minutes to be picked up, so if you have any urgency or

You must arrive in Corralejo at a certain time. You must speak with the company and demand that they leave on time, good luck and calm.

 

​

Once in Corralejo and ready to visit our magnificent beaches, I inform you that with the same bus company you can access several of them, perhaps the most emblematic and you will only have to walk to access some a little further from the bus stops. bus.

 

Without a doubt, the Natural Park of the Dunes of Corralejo is home to the most beautiful beaches in Fuerteventura and in the north of the island. To get to the beaches of the Dunes

from Corralejo it will be necessary to go to the stop that is closest to our Ohana Guest House which is located in the water park, the Acua Water Park which is

located on the main avenue of the city and that is about 700 meters from our house. The exact address is Avenida Nuestra Señora del Carmen on the corner of Calle Minerva, just in front of the water park that can be seen almost from all over Corralejo. There we must take bus 06 that runs along Avenida Grnades Playas de Corralejo towards Puerto del Rosario and that stops at the Hotele Riu stop, There at the stop

From the Riu Hotels, from there you have three options, there is a beach that is located to the left of the hotel closest to Corralejo that beach is called La Entubadera and it has a very cool beach bar with a spectacular view of Isla de Lobos and Lanzarote, as well as the paradisiacal characteristics of the beaches of Las Dunas, crystalline blue water and white sand of Jable. Another alternative is the beach that is located between the two hotels, we call it beach between hotels, it is a beach with less waves and especially with less wind that is regularly visited by local families for the comfort for children, beach bars, hammocks, umbrellas and lifeguards. The other alternative is to walk beyond the second hotel in the direction of Puerto del Rosario, you can walk for hours with many paradisiacal and lonely beaches, the problem is that then you have to return to the hotel stop to return home, so save energy .

 

From the Ohana Guest House and Aloha Surf House you can walk to the beach of Flag Beach which is the first and closest beach of the Natural Park of Dunas de Corralejo. From the houses there will be about 2 kilometers and

You will recognize it by the kites in the air and a container on the beach in white with surfer-style flags. Here there are also hammocks, a beach bar and umbrellas, few people and wonderful views.

​

From Kaktus Beach House you can reach the beach in the center of Corralejo in less than 1 minute. The house has a perfect location for those who want to have the beach next to the house.
