You really can have the best of both worlds on this action-packed full day tour. Criss-cross Fuerteventura's interior by 4x4, getting to know the rural side of island life. Then take to the sea on a catamaran, where you'll receive the full VIP treatment. Fran, one of our local guides, says, ‘Before tourism, we were an island of goatherds, and goat cheese is still our most famous product.'

Kick off the fun with your 4x4 adventure. Calling in at traditional villages, secluded beaches and great viewpoints, you'll get the real inside track on island life. You'll visit a goat farm to see majorero cheese being made and taste some local treats. Learn how the curdled milk is pressed with palm leaves and rubbed with paprika or gofio. Next, ride off-road trails to quiet villages such as La Corte and Valle Santa Ines on the way to the west coast. You'll have time to explore Los Molinos and Playa Jarugo, before heading to the Vallebrón viewpoint for a vista over the Tindaya volcano and Calabaza valley.

Back at sea level, you'll have a photo stop at the Corralejo dunes. Then, it's time to step aboard the Oby catamaran for a four-hour cruise around Lobos Island. With just 12 guests on board, you'll have ample space to lie back, relax and soak up the sun. You'll anchor near the volcanic isle to swim, snorkel, kayak or paddleboard – or continue sunbathing. There's a paella and free-flowing drinks, too.
