If you’re looking for a way to see Lanzarote beyond its typical tourist spots, this private Harley-Davidson motorcycle tour might be just what you need. Instead of crowded buses and generic sightseeing, you get the thrill of riding your own bike through the island’s most stunning, lesser-known landscapes. It’s an experience that blends adventure, personalized attention, and the raw beauty of Lanzarote into one unforgettable ride.
What we love about this tour is how intimate and flexible it feels. You’re not part of a big group — just you, your guide, and the open road. The route is customizable, allowing you to set your own pace, take scenic stops whenever you wish, and really soak in the surroundings. Plus, riding a Harley through volcanic fields and quaint villages is a thrill unlike any other. That said, it’s essential to be confident on a motorcycle, as this isn’t a casual sightseeing spin but a proper riding adventure.
One potential consideration? The tour requires you to have a full motorcycle license and riding experience. If you’re a complete beginner or have mobility issues, this might not be the right fit. But if you’re an experienced rider craving a unique experience, this could be one of the highlights of your Lanzarote visit.
This tour suits motorcycle enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and travelers who want an authentic, off-the-beaten-path exploration of Lanzarote. It’s perfect for those who love freedom on two wheels and enjoy discovering hidden corners with a knowledgeable local guide.

The Route and Stops
The route begins in Las Breñas and heads toward the La Geria wine region, renowned for its black lava fields contrasting against the vibrant green of the vines. Riding through these volcanic landscapes is a visual feast, with every twist and turn of the road offering a fresh perspective. As one reviewer noted, “dancing with the Harleys through serpentines and lava fields” captures the essence of this experience — pure joy on two wheels.
Next, the journey continues through the quaint village of Tinajo and along the wild west coast to La Santa, a surfing hub with epic views over the Atlantic. Here, the crashing waves and rugged coastline make for perfect photo stops, or just a quick break to absorb the natural beauty.
From La Santa, you’ll head to Teguise, the old capital, with its cobbled streets and colonial charm. This part of the island is rich in character, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll or a quick coffee before heading into the lush Valley of a Thousand Palms — a stark contrast to the volcanic surroundings, filled with greenery and cool shade. One rider described it as “a beautiful oasis that makes you forget you’re in a volcanic desert.”
The northernmost point of the tour is Órzola, a coastal village famous for its whitewashed houses and turquoise waters. This spot offers some of the best views of the sea and is a perfect place for a final photo before the journey back.
The Return and Flexibility
The return route is different from the outward journey, offering new vistas and stops, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging. Every pause is an opportunity to take photos, enjoy a coffee, or simply soak in the scenery at your own pace. The tour company emphasizes flexibility — you can add stops for sightseeing, food, or photo ops, making this a truly customized adventure.
Experience and Equipment
Guided by a local expert, you’ll feel confident and safe, as helmets, jackets, and gloves are provided. The bikes are Harley-Davidsons — iconic, powerful, and perfect for cruising across diverse terrains. The experience is designed for confident riders with full motorcycle licenses; reviewers mention feeling very well looked after and confident in the team’s professionalism.
