Canary Islands Motorcycle Tour: Lanzarote

The canary islands motorcycle tour starts on arrival at César Manrique Lanzarote Airport (ACE). Flights arrive weekly from most major European cities. If you want your bike on arrival day, take a taxi to the motorcycle garage — Joe or his partner will hand over your rental at no extra cost. Pack light: a backpack works best for this week, as extra luggage requires a separate transfer (around €30) to the lodge.

From the garage, ride north to Guatiza, a village known for the Jardín de Cáctus — a cactus garden shaped by César Manrique. A gravel track between two volcanoes leads straight to the Ocean Eco Lodge on the coast, where the Atlantic waves set the pace for the days ahead. Your first ride covers roughly 30 km through the volcanic north of Lanzarote.

After breakfast with ocean views, start your bike and cruise over solid lava rock through the strange lava shapes of central Lanzarote. Smooth asphalt stretches ahead, framed by a 180-degree panorama from Femés village on the ridge.

Today covers the island's main highlights: Papagayo beaches, Janubio salt flats, the green lagoon, and the Gería vineyard valley. One hour before sunset, ride across a lava sea to the Timanfaya National Park on this timanfaya motorcycle tour loop. At golden hour, active geothermal ground and near-empty volcanic roads make it feel like riding on the moon.

Take on the pace of the locals today. Ride scenic roads across Lanzarote and through Los Volcanes National Park on this motorcycle tours canary islands stretch, stopping at Bodega El Grifo — one of the oldest wineries in Spain — and visiting local craftsmen whose work is still made on the island rather than imported.

The Teguise market shows the island's craft and art scene at its most direct. The final kilometers wind along roads that save the best for last. At sunset, reach Erika’s pizzeria in Guatiza for arrabiata and local wine. The Ocean Eco Lodge is a short ride home.

Today's schedule depends on your return flight from Lanzarote Airport (ACE). Most riders have time for a final fuerteventura motorcycle tour loop before heading to Puerto de Corralejo port. Stop at the harbor bakery or enjoy the cafés by the water — don’t pack the last morning too tight.

Ferries from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote run hourly from 07:00 to 20:00. Plan to be on the ferry at least three hours before your flight so you can return the motorcycle rental canary islands bike at the workshop and get the airport transfer back. Unlimited kilometers are covered throughout the rental period.
