Lanzarote’s contrasting landscapes make the island particularly rewarding to explore by bicycle, with guided routes ranging from volcanic climbs to relaxed coastal rides.
Few ways of exploring Lanzarote bring together its different landscapes quite like cycling. In the space of a single ride, the scenery can shift from coastal views and villages to stark volcanic terrain, offering a very different experience from travelling around the island by car.
Bike Sensations in Puerto del Carmen provides guided tours for cyclists of different levels, with professional guides and an emphasis on individual care. That means routes can take into account the ability and stamina of the group, while weather conditions also play a part in determining the distance and pace.
The Timanfaya Tour is one of the clearest examples of how cycling can bring Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape into focus. The route travels through dramatic lava fields and includes volcanic climbs and wide-ranging views. Along the way, there are stops at local spots for coffee and photographs, creating opportunities to appreciate the landscape rather than simply pass through it.
For something gentler, the Omar Sharif E-Bike Tour offers a coastal route with a mixture of scenery, history and local culture. Riders visit villages and LagOmar, the famous property once owned by Omar Sharif, while making stops for local treats. The e-bike also makes the route accessible to those who may prefer some additional assistance on the ride.
Road cyclists have their own regular option, with tours taking place every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. These rides are generally around 60 to 70 kilometres, while elevation varies between approximately 700 and 1,100 metres depending on the route and weather. The pace is determined by the level of the group.
For mountain bikers, tours are available on request, usually covering 40 to 50 kilometres. Routes are tailored around the participants, weather forecast and group size, with safety central to the experience.
Bike Sensations also offers bike rental for independent exploration, including city bikes, e-bikes, MTB, E-MTB and racing bikes.
For those looking to experience Lanzarote rather than simply visit its sights, two wheels provide a different perspective. The island’s roads become part of the journey, while its scenery gradually unfolds around the rider.
