Year-round winds make Fuerteventura reliable for kitesurf, wing foil, and windsurf, but the Atlantic can be choppy in winter. Spring and autumn offer steadier conditions. Book beginner courses at least a few days ahead during peak season (July-August, Easter)-instructors fill up fast.

Private tours (guided 4x4 safaris, photography sessions, multi-day courses) are worth booking a week or two ahead, especially if you're traveling July-September. Half-day and shorter group classes can often be booked same-week, but check before you go.

Most operators offer pickups from Puerto del Rosario and nearby Corralejo, so you don't strictly need a rental car. That said, having one gives you flexibility to explore Cofete's southern beaches and inland villages on your own schedule between tours.

Absolutely. Segway tours suit a gentler pace, and half-day safaris work well for families (confirm age/fitness requirements with operators). Private sightseeing tours can be customized. Water sports are available at all levels, from absolute beginner through advanced.
