Adventure and Outdoor Sports Holidays in Lanzarote
Come and have a go, if you think your tough enough. Lanzarote is the ultimate adventure island, you will soon find that nature is the hardest opponent of all. Powerful seas, rugged paths and trails, ocean depths, and soaring winds will push you to the limit. To squeeze the most out of Lanzarote, you need a well placed modern hotel, with staff who know where all the action hot spots are and the best companies to be your guide. Lanzarote is ready for you – but are you ready for Lanzarote?
Cycling
Professional cycling teams like CSC pit themselves against the sturdy inland roads, particularly the climbs to Haria and the Mirador del Rio for great views out to La Graciosa. Costa Teguise is a perfect mid point setting for the keen cyclist, with beach front cycle paths that link through to Puerto del Carmen. [ More ]
Hiking
Test your stamina on 24 government backed routes, most accessible from Costa Teguise. Coastal hikes with sea views or try the 9 km trek from Arrecife to Puerto del Carmen, skirting hidden sandy coves and beaches. Haria in the north leads to the valley of 1,000 palm trees, or Timanfaya national park, will lead you to the volcanic bowl of El Golfo. [ More ]
Surfing
The Hawaii of the Atlantic, where fun surfers and professionals flock. Grab your board and head for the Haria coast in the north east, where Jameos boasts testing waves all year. To the north west, Famara lures the faithful to San Juan, and Muelle de Famara, with its own unique challenges. Costa Teguise is equally good for learners or experts. [ More ]
Hang Gliding
Go on, throw yourself off a cliff, only wimps don't look down, soar over the volcanos and rocks of Lanzarote as you race to the coast. The sun, the wind currents, and the views are already here, just bring your hunger for thrills and get ready to fly. Go solo or double the thrills with a tandem glide. [ More ]
Scuba Diving
Turn your holiday upside down, dive into some of the best scuba waters you can find. Lanzarote is a clear winner with visibility as good as 30 metres. Prepare to meet Barracuda, Angel Sharks, and Giant Tuna among the 500 species of fish that weave in and out of the lava. There is even a conservation park and 7 wrecks to explore. [ More ]
Kite Boarding
Crank it up a notch with March to October trade winds whipping up a frenzy of action as kite boarders head for Famara and the 4kms of beach that launch thrills beyond comparison. The north east cross winds and the south easterlies at Playa Honda, just round from Costa Teguise will test muscles you have never used before. [ More ]
Wind Surfing
The ultimate in multi tasking, while your feet guide your board, there’s the small matter of steering your sail to scoop the wind. It takes special athletes, with special skills in a special setting to really shine, that’s why the Professional Windsurfers Association will bring the World Cup freestyle event back to Las Cucharas beach, Costa Teguise in 2009.

Golf
With 18 holes, 3000 palm trees and a dormant volcano, you know you are tackling a special course. Costa Teguise has Lanzarote’s only course, but this 72 par oasis, with testing dog legs, would stand out in any company. Sandwiched between the mountains and the Atlantic, keeping your eye on the ball is just one of the challenges. [ More ]
