The Experience

Before You Go

Ride early to avoid strong winds

Mornings tend to be calmer—start before midday for cooler temps and steadier crosswinds.

Lower tyre pressure for sand

Deflate tires slightly on fat bikes to increase flotation across soft dunes and beach tracks.

Bring basic repair items

Although a repair kit is provided, carry a spare tube or sealant for longer self-guided rides away from the shop.

Respect protected zones

Stay on designated tracks through Corralejo Dunes Natural Park to avoid fines and habitat damage.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Lajares dirt tracks and artisan village—quiet backcountry routes and local craft shops
  • El Cotillo lagoon and small fishing harbor—quieter beaches and tidal pools 15–20 minutes west

Wildlife

  • Canary lizards basking on sun-warmed rocks
  • Coastal seabirds such as gulls and terns along the shoreline

Conservation Note

Corralejo Dunes is a protected area—stick to official tracks, avoid disturbing dune vegetation, and pack out waste to preserve fragile habitats.

Corralejo began as a fishing and salt-production village; its growth into a tourist hub mirrors the island’s shift from maritime economy to recreation.

Common Questions

Do I need to bring ID and a deposit?

Yes—rentals require an identification document (ID, passport, or driving licence) and a €50 cash deposit per bike, returned when the bike and accessories come back in order.

What's the typical range of an electric fat bike?

Range varies by model and assistance level but expect 40–80 km under mixed terrain; hills, wind, and throttle use reduce range.

Are bikes suitable for beach riding and dunes?

Fat tires handle sand and many dune tracks, but remain on designated routes—riding on shifting dunes is often restricted to protect habitat.

Can children rent bikes?

Yes—various sizes are available (men’s, women’s, and children’s), but confirm availability and suitability for young riders when booking.
