Getting to & Around Fuerteventura with a Dog
🇪🇸Fuerteventura, Spain·Updated 12 September 2026
Most visitors fly into Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) at El Matorral, just south of the capital, with direct flights from across Europe. Once on the island a hire car is essential: Fuerteventura is large, distances are long and the dog beaches, dunes and villages are far apart, with only limited public transport. Ferries link the island to Lanzarote and Gran Canaria and carry dogs, and local buses take small dogs in a carrier, but for real freedom you will want your own wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a car in Fuerteventura with a dog?
Yes, effectively. The island is big and the authorised dog beaches, dunes and towns are spread far apart, with limited buses. A hire car lets you reach the right beaches and the wild interior; agencies accept dogs at their discretion, so mention it when booking and bring a seat cover.
Can I take my dog on the ferry to or from Fuerteventura?
Yes. Ferries connect Corralejo with Playa Blanca on Lanzarote (about 30 minutes) and Morro Jable with Gran Canaria, and they carry dogs, usually leashed on deck or in a carrier. Check each operator's pet rules and any fee when you book.
Are dogs allowed on public buses in Fuerteventura?
The local TIADHE buses generally accept small dogs in a carrier, at the driver's discretion, but the network is limited and the island is spread out. For visiting the dog beaches and sights, a hire car is far more practical than relying on buses.
