Why November Is a Wonderful Time to Explore Lanzarote by Bike

As summer temperatures give way to more comfortable daytime conditions, November offers a different perspective on Lanzarote. From volcanic landscapes to quiet coastal roads, cycling provides an opportunity to discover the island at a more leisurely pace.

Lanzarote is an island best appreciated beyond the familiar resort streets. Its volcanic terrain, whitewashed villages, rugged coastline and sweeping Atlantic views reveal themselves gradually, making cycling an appealing way to explore the landscape as the autumn season brings a change in the weather.

For visitors arriving in November, the cooler daytime temperatures can make spending time outdoors more comfortable than during the height of summer. Travelling by bike also allows riders to experience the changing scenery at close quarters, with opportunities to stop for photographs, discover local villages and appreciate details that can easily be missed from a car.

Based in Puerto del Carmen, Bike Sensations offers guided cycling tours designed to suit different abilities, from beginners to experienced riders. Professional guides provide individual attention, helping participants choose an experience appropriate to their fitness and confidence on two wheels.

One option is a guided ride through the striking scenery of Timanfaya National Park. The volcanic landscape offers a dramatic contrast to Lanzarote’s coastal resorts, with vast lava fields, climbs and panoramic views forming part of the experience. For those who prefer an electric-assisted ride, the Timanfaya E-bike Tour combines the scenery with stops at selected local spots for coffee and photographs.

Another option takes cyclists along the coast and through traditional villages. The Omar Sharif E-bike Tour combines coastal scenery with cultural interest, including a visit to LagOmar, the distinctive property once owned by actor Omar Sharif. Stops for local treats add another dimension to the journey.

All Bike Sensations E-bike Tours include the bicycle, a multilingual guide, helmet and entrance fee. The guided format means visitors can concentrate on the surroundings while their guide leads the route.

Cyclists looking for a more demanding challenge can also explore the island on a road bike. Tours take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, covering approximately 60 to 70 kilometres, with the route, elevation and pace adjusted according to the group and conditions. Mountain bike tours are available on request, typically covering around 40 to 50 kilometres.

For residents and holidaymakers alike, cycling offers a different way to connect with Lanzarote’s landscapes. Rather than simply passing through, riders have time to appreciate the island’s contrasts, from its dark volcanic ground to the blue Atlantic beyond.
