Puerto del Carmen is a natural starting point for cycling adventures, giving riders the opportunity to follow the coast, reach volcanic landscapes and explore further afield.
Puerto del Carmen is well known for its coastline and lively boulevard, but it can also provide the starting point for a much wider exploration of Lanzarote. For cyclists, the town offers a base from which to discover the island’s beaches, villages and volcanic landscapes at a more personal pace.
Bike Sensations, based in Puerto del Carmen, provides both guided tours and bicycle rental, making it possible to choose between following a planned route with a professional guide or setting off independently.
For those wanting to see the island with the benefit of a guide, the company’s E-Bike Tours include the bicycle, a multilingual guide, entrance fee and helmet. The Omar Sharif Tour follows a relaxed coastal route combining scenery with elements of Lanzarote’s history and culture. Along the way, riders visit charming villages and LagOmar, once owned by Omar Sharif, with stops for local treats.
Another option heads in a completely different direction. The Timanfaya Tour takes cyclists into Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape, with lava fields, climbs and expansive views forming the backdrop. The route also includes stops for coffee and photographs, providing time to take in the surroundings.
The variety continues for road cyclists. Bike Sensations runs road tours every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with routes of around 60 to 70 kilometres. Depending on the route and weather, elevation can range from approximately 700 to 1,100 metres, while the pace varies according to the group’s ability.
MTB tours are available on request and cover around 40 to 50 kilometres. Each ride is tailored to the condition of participants, the forecast and group size, helping to ensure that safety remains central.
Those who prefer to choose their own route can hire a city bike or e-bike for exploring the coast or opt for an MTB or E-MTB for more adventurous journeys towards areas such as Timanfaya or Playa Quemada. Racing bikes are also available, with models offering features including Di2, disc brakes, 11 or 12 gears and carbon or aluminium frames.
With professionally maintained bikes and additional services including roadside assistance, Bike Sensations provides a practical starting point for exploring Lanzarote under your own steam.
