From volcanic landscapes to coastal villages, cycling is becoming an increasingly popular way to discover parts of Lanzarote that many visitors never see from behind a steering wheel.
Lanzarote has long been known for its dramatic volcanic scenery, picturesque villages and year-round sunshine. While many visitors choose to explore the island by hire car, an increasing number are discovering that travelling on two wheels offers a very different perspective.
Cycling allows people to experience the island at a slower pace, taking in landscapes, viewpoints and local communities that can easily be missed when travelling by road. The combination of relatively quiet roads, varied terrain and favourable weather has helped establish Lanzarote as one of Europe’s most recognised cycling destinations.
For visitors looking to combine sightseeing with outdoor activity, guided bike tours have become a popular option. Routes can be tailored to different abilities, making cycling accessible to both experienced riders and those who simply want to enjoy a leisurely day outdoors.
One of the island’s most striking areas remains the volcanic terrain surrounding Timanfaya National Park. Cycling through these lava fields offers a unique opportunity to experience one of Lanzarote’s defining landscapes up close. For those seeking a gentler pace, coastal routes and village tours provide a chance to discover local culture, architecture and hidden corners of the island.
Puerto del Carmen continues to serve as a convenient starting point for many cycling adventures. From here, riders can head towards Playa Quemada, explore inland villages or tackle more challenging routes across the island.
Bike Sensations, based in Puerto del Carmen, offers both guided tours and bicycle rental options for visitors wishing to explore Lanzarote independently. The company provides e-bike tours that include equipment, a multilingual guide and selected attractions along the route, helping visitors access areas that may otherwise be difficult to reach.
For more experienced cyclists, guided road bike rides take place several times each week, while mountain bike tours are available on request and adapted to participant ability and conditions on the day.
The growing popularity of e-bikes has also made cycling more accessible than ever. Riders can cover greater distances while still enjoying the scenery, making it possible for families, couples and casual cyclists to explore routes that might previously have seemed too demanding.
As more travellers look for active experiences during their holidays, cycling continues to offer a practical and enjoyable way to discover Lanzarote beyond the usual tourist routes.
