We enjoyed the jeep safari guided by Tino. beautiful ride over/through the north of Fuertaventura. Nice stops and good information. Especially the small scale (we were out with 2 jeeps) was very nice. We have been to Fuertaventura several times but very glad we did this excursion this time. It has shown us very beautiful places that we did not know before.

From the moment we were picked up from our hotel it was an excellent excursion. Really friendly, attentive staff. Boat was not too big and had everything on board that we needed. Scenery spectacular and we saw some dolphins!!! Well worth the time and great value.

The trip went without problems and according to the schedule. Return from the island is possible at 14:20 and 17:00.

Pick up on time. Very well organised. Crossing a little choppy, but no problem.

It was really good! Easy to find and show confirmation of booking!
