As September arrives, cycling offers a chance to experience Lanzarote at a different pace, from volcanic landscapes and coastal roads to villages and beaches.
Lanzarote is an island that rewards those willing to explore beyond the obvious. While the roads and landscapes can be admired from a car, travelling by bicycle offers a much closer connection with the island, and September is an ideal time to discover it on two wheels.
For visitors staying in Puerto del Carmen, Bike Sensations offers guided cycling tours designed for different abilities and interests. The emphasis is on individual care, with professional guides accompanying groups and adapting tours to the people taking part.
One of the most dramatic options is the Timanfaya Tour. The route heads into some of Lanzarote’s most striking volcanic scenery, passing vast lava fields and tackling volcanic climbs along the way. Stops provide opportunities for coffee, photographs and a chance to take in the landscape.
Those looking for a more relaxed experience can choose the Omar Sharif Tour, which combines coastal scenery with Lanzarote’s history and culture. The ride visits charming villages and the famous LagOmar, once owned by actor Omar Sharif, with local treats included along the way.
For experienced cyclists, the road bike tours provide another perspective on the island. Running every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, these rides cover around 60 to 70 kilometres, with elevation generally between 700 and 1,100 metres depending on the route and weather. The pace varies according to the level of the group.
Mountain bikers can also explore Lanzarote with Bike Sensations. MTB tours are available on request and usually cover around 40 to 50 kilometres. Routes are tailored according to participants’ condition, the weather forecast and group size, with safety remaining the priority.
For anyone who prefers to explore independently, Bike Sensations also rents city bikes, e-bikes, mountain bikes, E-MTBs and racing bikes from its Puerto del Carmen shop. Whether following a guide through volcanic terrain or choosing an individual route along the coast, cycling reveals a side of Lanzarote that is easy to miss from four wheels. With the island’s contrasting landscapes unfolding along the way, September can be a good moment to see Lanzarote in a rather different way.
