A unique ride through some of the most dramatic landscapes to be found in Europe. These islands are of volcanic origin. Lanzarote suffered a series of eruptions in the 18th century and as a result has some fascinating volcano and lava scenery. The architectural works of César Manrique form a valuable complement to the volcanic environment and are a must. The benign climate, neither hot in summer nor cold in winter, means that cycling is possible all year round.

  • We think cycle touring is the ideal way to travel in Europe and that is why we are very pleased to launch European Bike Adventures, as it allows us the opportunity to offer a whole new set of experiences to people we know will appreciate them.

    Accordingly we have taken our time in selecting the portfolio of cycle tours you find listed here.

    A selection of hand-picked bike trips in spectacular places throughout Europe that focus on fun with the same attention to detail and quality that hundreds of our very satisfied clients have been enjoying with Ibero Cycle Tours since 1999.

     

  • On a self-guided tour, you are basically independent. IberoCycle transports luggage to the next hotel. 

    Riders are expected to complete each day's ride, unless there is an emergency, or a mechanical problem. 

    Cyclists do not travel as part of a group or with a guide, although they may coincide with other cyclists on the same trip.

    Our "IberoCycle On Call" service means we are always available for help or advice.

    Cyclists are provided with our own detailed Route Guide and maps for their chosen route.

    Fitter cyclists may extend stages at will.

     

  • Accommodation with en-suite bathroom
    Breakfast
    Information Pack (Route Guide and maps)
    Luggage transport between hotels

    Please note that at the beginning of the tour, clients are responsible for getting to the first hotel in Costa Teguise (just a short taxi ride from the airport) At the end of the tour on Day Seven, clients take a short taxi or bus ride from Arreciffe to the airport.

  • Arrival and departure point for this tour in the Airport of Lanzarote (Arrecife). See destinations here. 

    IberoCycle will organise a transfer from the airport to your first hotel in Costa Teguise at the beginning of the tour. Likewise, at the end of the tour, another transfer will take you from the hotel in Arrecife to the airport. 

  • Hybrid e-bike    Road E-bike

    The last few years have seen a revolution in the use of e-bikes. We now offfer e bikes on absolutely all of our rides. There are of course multiple advantages to using one on a bike tour:

    The difficulty level is lowered by a grade. Thus an intermediate level tour becomes an easy tour as the motor assists pedalling.

    The distance you can cycle on each day is effectively "reduced". Longer distances become accessible to a greater range of riding abilities. 

    Ability levels between riders on the same tour are levelled out as riders can choose an e-bike to enable them to keep up with stronger riders. 

    No more worrying about the hills! 

    So if you are in any doubt about whether a particular tour might be too challenging for you, then take the e-bike option. You can still get a good workout by keeping the pedal assistance level low. E-bikes are now available on all of our tours. And many have both the standard e-bike and also the road e-bike. 

  • You can arrive on this tour on absolutely any day you like, 365 days a year! You can also modify the tour to add extra nights at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. 

  • Yes, you can travel alone. Solo travellers are liable for the following supplements:

    Single supplement (covers the extra cost of a single room)

    Solo traveller supplement (covers the cost of luggage transfers etc. for just one person)

    You should bear in mind that there may or may not be other people on the same tour. 

  • Accommodation on Day 3 and Day 4 is normally in the village of Teguise. However, hotels in the centre of the island are small and sometimes availability is limited. In this case, we would use other hotels in the nearby locations of La Florida and Mozaga. The base route passes through the village of Teguise, so everyone will have the chance to visit the village.

  • The National Park of Timanfaya on Lanzarote is an essential part of the tour. Please note that you need to book online in order to guarantee access to the park. Do this as soon as you can. The ideal day to do this is the day you ride towards Playa Blanca, so you will need to calculate how long it will take you to ride there (check your RWGPS Experience app). You could also do it by taxi on your free day in Playa Blanca. 

    • New Timed Entry System: You must now book tickets online in advance selecting a specific date and time slot. Arrive about 15 minutes before your slot.
    • The Route of the Volcanoes: The entrance fee includes a mandatory 35-to-40-minute guided coach tour (~14 km) through the restricted volcanic cones and lava fields. Independent driving or walking on the main volcanic routes is prohibited.
    • Geothermal Demonstrations: At the Islote de Hilario, staff showcase underground heat (reaching up to 250°C–600°C just meters down) by turning water into instant steam geysers and igniting dry brush.
    • El Diablo Restaurant: A unique circular glass-walled restaurant designed by César Manrique that cooks food using natural geothermal heat from the earth.
    • Camel Rides: Located nearby at the Echadero de Camellos along the LZ-67 road if you want a camel trek through the volcanic terrain. 
    • Guided Walking Routes: For a closer look on foot, you can book the guided Tremesana Route hike in advance, or visit the free Mancha Blanca Visitor and Interpretation Centre for exhibitions on the island's geology.
    •  
    • Official Guided Hikes (Tremesana Route): If you want to do one of the free, park-ranger-guided walking tours instead of the standard bus tour, you must book about a month in advance (25 to 30 days ahead) through the National Parks booking center website, as these only have about 8 spots per outing.
     
  • Before you begin your trip, you will receive the Ride With GPS App with tour information. This info is in the RideWithGPS Experience format. This means that clients have all the information on their devices well before the tour begins. Clients navigate the route with their mobile phones attached to the handlebars. The app contains the following information:

    • Routes in digital format (cue sheets only in English)
    • Profiles
    • General information relevant to tour logistics (pdf available) in all languages)

    Information on each ride, sights, restaurants etc. (pdf available in all languages)
