Each self-guided holiday comes with comprehensive route notes and a map or pocket guidebook of the area you are exploring. The route notes contain information about the places you will visit and the local transport you might need, along with the detailed route notes for your daily walks or cycle rides. We even include some tips for the best places to stop for lunch.

You can expect to receive your Self-Guided Pack containing your route notes, a map or guidebook, and all your relevant documents, no later than 3 weeks before your holiday start-date. We will send your documents using a signed-for courier so that you can track your package and know that it is safely on its way to you. For bookings of more than 4 people we will send an additional Self-Guided Pack. If you do not need this additional pack please inform our Sales Team. Your pack will be sent to the lead booker, so please remind them to pack it before setting off.

Should your self-guided trip be part of a longer adventure requiring you to leave home more than three weeks before your holiday start-date, please inform our Sales Team so that we can make alternative delivery arrangements.

Our Self-Guided Holidays are perfect for your next family holiday and are suitable for children of all ages.

Our partner hotels and accommodations are able to provide cots for young children, and some offer family rooms. We can also arrange hire of children’s bikes and tag along bikes for most of our self-guided cycling trips and with trips such as Lake Constance and the Danube offering routes on designated cycle paths you can rest assured in keeping your family safe.

As a parent we trust that you know your own child’s capabilities, so please read the itinerary details to ensure the distances covered each day are suitable for your family. If this is a first time walking holiday for your family, a centre based trip is a fantastic option as it allows you to easily opt out of a days walking if a day of building sand castles, swimming in the pool or visiting museums is calling instead.

Please discuss this further with our sales team who will be happy to assist in picking the best trip for your family.

This trip starts and ends at your hotel in Costa Teguise. All of our self-guided holidays are sold on a Land Only basis allowing you the flexibility to choose the travel method which best suits you. The nearest airport for this trip is Arrecife with many departures from regional UK airports.

If you are arriving into Arrecife Airport (Lanzarote Airport) you can take the public bus to Costa Teguise. The buses run every 50 minutes and the journey requires one change at Intercambiador Playa Del Reductro taking approximately 1 hour. Alternatively, you may wish to take a taxi transfer from the airport. This option takes approximately 15 minutes.

It is also possible to arrive into Arrecife via ferry from Cadiz, mainland Spain. From here you can take the public bus to Costa Teguise.

This trip is on a bed and breakfast basis to allow you the most flexibility during your holiday.

Water from the taps may not be drinkable in all locations on this trip - please check with your guide. We recommend taking water purification tablets and a reusable bottle with a filter such as Water-to-Go, which can both be used to help make safe other water sources. Please note that we do not encourage the purchase of single use plastic bottles.

Cuisine in the Canaries is filled with tradition and fresh local produce, with recipes being handed down through generations. It is these traditions which have formed the delicious mix of cuisine which blends its Spanish roots with African and South American influences. Meat and fish are served with the staple on any menu - tasty Papas Arrugadas, small locally-grown potatoes boiled in extremely salty water giving the skins a somewhat wrinkly appearance - and a traditional Mojo sauce. Meat is served with Mojo Rojo - red - made with chillies, oil, garlic, vinegar, and salt; fish is served with Mojo Verde - green - where coriander replaces the chilli. Every restaurant claims to have its own secret Mojo recipe! As you would expect from an island, seafood features heavily in the Canarian diet, from Puntillas de Calamar (fried baby squid) to Pescado a la Plancha (fish of the day that is grilled simply and is incredibly tasty), to exquisite fresh Lapas (limpets, often served in the pan they have been cooked in, with butter and garlic sauce and freshly chopped coriander). Surprisingly however, the island has some fantastic mild slightly salty goat cheeses, some of which have won international awards, plus a selection of lovely local wines to enjoy with your meal.

We have designed this trip with comfort in mind so you can enjoy feeling pampered whilst you relax after a day in the saddle. You will be staying in a selection great of 4-star hotels and resorts, and a welcoming traditional Canarian casa in Haria where you can take pleasure in the warm hospitality of Lola and Juan. All accommodations offer comfortable en-suite bedrooms, lovely communal areas, and great breakfast buffets to fuel your adventures each day. Some of your accommodations also have swimming pools - perfect for cooling off and soothing your limbs after a busy day exploring.

It is possible to arrange additional nights' accommodation in Costa Teguise before or after your trip if you would like to explore this fabulous island a little more. Please contact our Sales Team for more information.

Standard touring bikes come with 30 gears, and come equipped with a rear luggage rack and pannier for your daily essentials, plus a milometer, bike lock, pump, repair kit, and spare inner tube.

Please note that it is a legal requirement to wear a helmet in Spain. We include a helmet with your bike on this trip however we strongly recommend you bring your own helmet for the best comfort.

We also recommend packing a gel seat for extra comfort or a pair of padded cycling shorts as, whilst there are plenty of opportunities to stop and explore, it is always nice to have some padding for a more comfortable ride.

For those wishing for a sportier positioning on the bike it is possible to upgrade to a carbon road bike with 22 gears on this trip for a supplement of £40 (please note that road bikes do not come with a rear luggage rack or pannier).

E-bikes are also available at a supplement of £180. Please ask our Sales Team for details.

If you are looking for a bit of extra support whilst in the saddle, you can upgrade to an e-bike to make your ride even more leisurely.

Equipped with a battery and motor, these electric bikes give you a helping hand whilst you are pedalling, making it easier to climb hills, and travel further with less effort and more comfort.

E-bikes are available on this holiday at an additional supplement of £180. Just request this upgrade option from our Sales Team at the time of booking.

Your main luggage will be transferred between each of your hotels while you are out on your ride. We ask that you please ensure that each piece of your luggage is under 20kg and that your luggage is ready for collection in the morning on the day of each hotel change. You will also need a daypack to carry your daily essentials with you whilst you are riding.
