  3. Caleta de Fuste: Electric Fat Bike Tour

  Explore Caleta de Fuste with the whole family. Electric bicycles provide the extra power needed to follow the rugged coast towards La Salina and Los Alares and descend into Barranco de la Torre. Pass through canyons and lunar landscapes before reaching the sea at Puerto de la Torre.   Once at Puerto de la Torre, take a swim at the small beach or enjoy a drink or an ice cream at the nearby bar. After the break, the group returns to Caleta de Fuste along the bike path.   This tour covers 25 kilometres of wild, breathtaking coastline and takes approximately 2.5-3 hours. Thanks to the latest generation of E-bikes, riders can adjust the extra power at any given time— making this tour ideal for all levels and the perfect option for a family adventure.

  Fantastic experience. Went with my kids aged 14 and 16 and had a great trip. None of us cycle very much but wasn’t a problem, as the bikes did a lot of the hard work. The guide was fantastic and looked after us all the way and the scenery was incredible. Initial trip from this app/site was from Caleta de Fuste, but we moved the trip to the north of the island. A great way to see the North of the island and get get some great pictures from tops of volcanoes and amazing beaches. I highly recommend this trip and the company that ran it. Thank you.
