Combine La Palma and Fuerteventura – Hiking, Beach Holidays and Island Hopping in the Canary Islands
Combine La Palma and Fuerteventura – Hiking, Beach Holidays and Island Hopping in the Canary Islands
Enjoy a beach holiday on Fuerteventura and go hiking on La Palma. Thanks to the seasonal direct flights, both Canary Islands can be combined perfectly. Discover the benefits of this varied trip and find practical tips to help you plan your holiday.
Hiking on La Palma and a beach holiday on Fuerteventura – combine two Canary Islands in one trip
A holiday in the Canary Islands does not have to consist exclusively of beach days or hiking. Travellers visiting Fuerteventura and La Palma in summer can experience two very different island worlds in a single trip: miles of sandy beaches and relaxing days by the Atlantic on Fuerteventura, followed by green forests, volcanic landscapes, deep ravines and varied hiking trails on La Palma.This combination has become particularly attractive since summer 2026. Binter has resumed the seasonal direct connection between Fuerteventura and La Palma, allowing travellers to combine both islands without the transfer via Gran Canaria or Tenerife that is often otherwise required.
The trip is ideal for couples, active travellers and especially families with different holiday preferences. While some family members may prefer swimming, relaxing on the beach or trying water sports, others may want to hike, discover viewpoints and explore the unspoilt nature of the Canary Islands. Combining Fuerteventura and La Palma means there is no need to choose just one type of holiday.
Another advantage is that Fuerteventura Airport is served by significantly more European airports and airlines than La Palma. Travelling via Fuerteventura can therefore provide a wider choice of departure airports, travel days and fares. Depending on the dates, the combination may not only offer more variety but could also be financially attractive.
Two islands, two landscapes and one varied holiday
Hiking holiday

Family holiday
Fuerteventura and La Palma are both part of the Canary Islands, yet their landscapes are strikingly different. This contrast is exactly what makes a combined trip so appealing.
Fuerteventura is best known for its wide sandy beaches, dune landscapes, water sports and relaxed seaside atmosphere. La Palma, by contrast, is much greener and more mountainous. The island offers pine forests, laurel forests, volcanic routes, spectacular viewpoints and an extensive network of marked hiking trails.
Within a single journey, visitors can therefore experience two completely different sides of the Canary Islands without having to travel from mainland Europe again for each type of holiday.

Fuerteventura and La Palma compared
Both islands have their own character. The best order depends on whether you prefer to begin your holiday actively or relax on the beach after several days of hiking.
| Holiday theme | Fuerteventura | La Palma |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape | Wide, arid landscapes, dunes and long coastlines | Mountains, forests, volcanic scenery and deep ravines |
| Beaches | A very large selection of long, light-coloured sandy beaches | Smaller beaches and coves, mostly with dark volcanic sand |
| Hiking | Coastal paths, volcanic landscapes and open routes | Highly varied mountain, forest and volcano hikes |
| Water sports | Excellent conditions for surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing | Diving, kayaking, boat trips and swimming in sheltered coves |
| Atmosphere | Popular resorts and a large choice of hotels | Quieter, more authentic and strongly focused on nature tourism |
| Flight connections | Wide choice of international direct flights | Only a limited number of international direct flights in summer |
Direct flight from Fuerteventura to La Palma in summer
Binter
FUE–SPC
Seasonal route
Binter
resumed the direct air connection between Fuerteventura and La Palma in summer 2026. According to the information published by the airline, the route has operated since 19 July 2026 with a total of six direct flights per week and is initially scheduled to run until early September.
As the six weekly flights are divided between both directions, the published summer schedule generally includes three direct services in each direction. Exact days and departure times may vary depending on the travel period and should always be checked directly with Binter before booking.
A nonstop flight between the two islands takes around one hour. This makes the journey considerably more convenient than travelling with a connection via Gran Canaria or Tenerife.
Important: this is a seasonal summer route. Outside the published operating period, connecting flights may still be required.

Why travelling via Fuerteventura can be worthwhile
La Palma has only a limited number of international direct flights during the summer. Many travellers have to fly via Madrid, Gran Canaria or Tenerife. Fuerteventura, on the other hand, has a considerably larger international airport with a broad range of connections.
According to current Aena information, Fuerteventura is served by 72 destinations and 37 airlines. These include numerous airports in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and other European countries.
This can offer several advantages when planning a trip:
– a wider choice of departure airports
– more possible travel days
– additional airlines and fares
– sometimes better availability during school holidays
– more options from smaller regional airports
– potentially lower international airfares
Whether the overall journey is less expensive depends on the exact travel period, baggage, selected fares and the cost of the inter-island flight. It is therefore worth calculating both a direct journey to La Palma and the complete combination via Fuerteventura.

What a trip combining both islands could look like
A combined journey can be adapted flexibly to personal preferences. Staying at least five nights on each island is particularly comfortable, as this leaves enough time for rest and excursions in addition to arrival and departure.
Option 1: Beach first, nature second
Spend 5 to 7 nights on Fuerteventura, followed by a direct flight to La Palma and 7 to 10 nights in a holiday home.
Option 2: Hiking first, relaxation second
Explore La Palma actively at the beginning of the trip and finish the holiday with peaceful beach days on Fuerteventura.
Option 3: Two weeks in the Canary Islands
Around one week on each island – ideal for families and travellers looking for plenty of variety.
Ideal for families with different holiday preferences
Families
Children
Swimming
Nature
Families often have different ideas about the perfect holiday. Children may want a large pool, a gently shelving beach and as much time in the water as possible. Adults may also wish to go hiking, discover small towns and explore the landscape.
Fuerteventura offers excellent conditions for relaxing beach days. On La Palma, families can then discover easy walks, volcanic landscapes, viewpoints, forests and protected natural areas together.
Not every hike on La Palma is suitable for every age group. When travelling with children, shorter routes, viewpoints on La Palma that are easy to reach and trails with flexible distances are particularly suitable. More demanding routes should always be adapted to fitness, weather and the age of the children.
By dividing the holiday between two islands, relaxation, activity and shared experiences can be balanced particularly well.

Beach holidays on Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is especially famous for its long, light-coloured sandy beaches. Landscape, wind conditions, infrastructure and distance from the airport vary considerably depending on the chosen resort.
The well-known beach regions of Costa Calma, Jandía and Morro Jable are located in the south. In the north, visitors will find Corralejo, the dunes and numerous water sports opportunities. Caleta de Fuste is relatively central and can be reached quickly from the airport.
When choosing a region, families and beach holidaymakers should consider the following points:
– distance from the airport
– direct or indirect beach access
– wind protection at the preferred beach
– gently shelving access to the sea
– pool and children's pool at the hotel
– catering and nearby shopping options
– rental car, transfer or bus connections
When travelling with younger children, the quality of the hotel is not the only important factor. Its location on the island can also make a significant difference to the overall holiday.

Hiking on La Palma – the green side of the Canary Islands
Volcano routes
Laurel forest
Caldera
Sea views
After the open landscapes and long sandy beaches of Fuerteventura, La Palma can feel like another world. Its considerable differences in altitude create an exceptional variety of landscapes and climate zones within a relatively small area. Dense laurel forests, spectacular volcanic scenery, green ravines and impressive viewpoints follow one another over short distances, making the island one of the most rewarding hiking destinations in the Canary Islands.
The best-known hiking areas include Caldera de Taburiente National Park, the Ruta de los Volcanes in the south, the laurel forests of the north-east, the high-mountain area around Roque de los Muchachos and numerous coastal and village trails across the island.
However, not every hike on La Palma is suitable for every age or level of fitness. Families with children are generally better served by shorter trails, viewpoints that are easy to reach and routes with flexible distances. More demanding hikes should always be adapted to the weather, season and personal fitness level. Many excursions can also be combined perfectly with a visit to one of the restaurants on La Palma or a relaxing afternoon by the sea.
For planning independent hikes, Sunhikes offers an extensive selection of routes on La Palma and throughout the Canary Islands. Modern maps, GPS tracks, detailed route descriptions and practical advice help travellers choose suitable hikes before their holiday and prepare each tour carefully.
Clariso is more than a modern booking platform. Behind it is a team with many years of personal experience in the Canary Islands. Co-founder Mirko has lived on La Palma for many years and is a passionate hiker. During this time, he has personally explored almost all of the island's best-known hiking trails, many of them several times, and knows both the famous highlights and numerous lesser-known routes.
Co-founder Bianca also holds the official licence to work as a tourist guide throughout the Canary Islands and the recognised Starlight Guide qualification. Clariso therefore brings together extensive knowledge of nature, culture, hiking, places of interest and the exceptional night sky of the Canary Islands.
We are happy to share this experience with our guests and help them choose hikes, excursions and activities that suit the season, weather conditions, fitness level and personal interests. This often leads to exactly the kind of memorable experiences that remain long after the holiday has ended.
Particularly in summer, longer hikes should begin as early as possible in the morning. Sun protection, sufficient drinking water, sturdy footwear and a quick check of current trail and weather conditions should be part of every outing.

How to plan rental cars and baggage on both islands
On a two-island trip, rental cars for Fuerteventura and La Palma are booked separately.
The following approach is therefore recommended:
1. Book a rental car on Fuerteventura until the day of the inter-island flight.
2. Return the vehicle at Fuerteventura Airport in good time before departure.
3. Collect a second rental car after landing on La Palma.
4. Consider the amount of baggage, child seats and the required vehicle size for both bookings.
The baggage rules for the inter-island flight should also be checked. The international flight fare and the Binter fare may include different baggage allowances. This is especially important when travelling with sports equipment, pushchairs or several large suitcases.
On La Palma, a rental car is highly recommended for individual excursions and access to many holiday homes. The island is mountainous, and numerous hiking areas, viewpoints and rural properties are much easier to reach by car.

Separate flight tickets: allow enough time
The international flight to Fuerteventura and the onward flight to La Palma are often booked as separate tickets. In this case, the connection is normally not protected.
If the first flight is delayed and the separately booked Binter flight is missed, there is no automatic entitlement to free rebooking or assistance. It is therefore considerably more relaxed to spend several nights on Fuerteventura and not book the inter-island flight immediately after the international arrival.
The same applies to the return journey. Travellers flying home via Fuerteventura should allow sufficient time between the inter-island flight and the international departure or plan the final part of their Fuerteventura stay for the end of the trip.
This arrangement reduces risk and turns the necessary stop into a genuine, relaxing part of the holiday.

When is this island combination particularly suitable?
This type of trip is particularly suitable for:
– families with different interests
– couples who want to combine an active holiday with relaxation
– travellers with two or more weeks of holiday
– visitors who cannot find a suitable direct flight to La Palma
– guests who are flexible regarding the departure airport and airline
– beach lovers who also want to experience the green side of the Canary Islands
– hikers who would like to extend their holiday with a few relaxed days by the sea
The combination is less suitable for very short trips. With only seven days in total, changing islands, returning a rental car and travelling again can take up a comparatively large part of the holiday. From around ten to fourteen days, the journey can be organised much more comfortably.

Practical checklist for Fuerteventura and La Palma
Before booking, the following points should be checked together:
1. On which days does the direct flight between Fuerteventura and La Palma operate?
2. Does the inter-island flight match the available accommodation on both islands?
3. Are the flights booked separately, and is enough time allowed between them?
4. How much baggage is included in each fare?
5. Are separate rental cars required on both islands?
6. Are child seats or a larger vehicle necessary?
