    "Soooo Amazing "

    The excursions were really everything on this trip! It's like having a local guide who can show you the best hikes, the most scenic rides & provide a daily itinerary that still allows for flexibility & free time. I never would have seen or experienced what I did without the help of Bas and Darja. Also because I booked with FuerteXperience I met a fabulous travel buddy & sure to be a lifelong friend. For me it was an epic experience, and one I'll never forget. Thank you both for everything!

    "One of the best curated trips I have taken"

    Bas and Darja are excellent curators of at trip.

    Darja planned every day to perfection keeping weather, and maximum fun in mind and also people's fatigue levels. Very well done!

    Bas' surfing courses along with ebike ride and just general disposition made the entire group very comfortable and easy for us to learn, enjoy and take in fuerteventura.

    Special shoutout to Richard!

    "Ein rundum toller Urlaub! "

    Darja und Bas haben die Reise so toll organisiert, wodurch ich rundum ein gutes Gefühl hatte. Der Ausflug nach Los Lobos war toll. Yoga am Strand leicht anstrengend und gleichzeitig so entspannend und wohltuend. Bas thank you so much for the ebike tour, the super cool and so amazing Surflessons and the hiking with the fantastic views! I loved all of it. Es war so ein toller Urlaub, den ich jedem weiterempfehle. Die Reise kann man sehr gut alleine machen und eine unglaublich tolle Zeit haben. Vielen lieben Dank für den tollen Urlaub!

    "Beautiful vacation"

    I had a lovely vacation. It was all very well organized. Bas picked me up from the airport, drove me to the hotel, and explained the vacation plan on the way. I got the next-day program every day sent to my phone and didn't need to think about anything. The Yoga on the beach was a real highlight; the location is beautiful, and Natasha instructs the yoga so that even beginners can join without difficulty. The beach is walking distance (about 30 minutes walking slowly along the beach promenade).

    We all really liked the mountain bike tour! Thanks to the e-bikes also, not-trained people like me, could easily get up the volcanos. Bas also knows the secret hike spots on the island. We almost hiked alone and the landscape was beautiful and quiet.

    The hotel surfing colors is basic but has everything you need, including a pool. There is a fridge in the room to have some snacks and a water boiler to make your first tea in the morning in case you don't want to use the hotel breakfast (cost separate). In town, you find plenty of restaurants, and you get a recommendation list. Tjasa can give local recommendations for massages, etc. I had a very relaxing one by the end of my stay.

    "Geweldig leuke week "

    Samen met mijn partner was ik 7 dagen op het eiland. Bas en Darja hebben ons volledig ontzorgd en een actieve vakantie voor ons georganiseerd en verzorgd. Iedere dag hebben we wat anders gedaan, surfen, hiken, e-biken en yoga. We starten bijna iedere dag met yoga, gevolgd door een activiteit in de vulkanen, bergen of op het eiland lobos. En als we even niks wilden doen dan was dit ook helemaal prima. Wij hebben het eiland op een nieuwe manier leren kennen. Het was heerlijk om niet na te hoeven denken over de dag planning, dat deden Bas en Darja voor ons, fantastisch! We werden zelfs opgehaald en afgezet bij het vliegveld, bedankt 🙏🏽

    "Entspannung, Abenteuer, Sport"

    Die gesamte Betreuung von Anfang bis Ende war sehr gut und aufmerksam!!

    Es war nie zu viel und nie zu wenig und es war genug Freiraum zum entspannen.

    Yoga am Strand ist was ganz besonderes!

    Die Ausflüge waren wunderschön!

    Auch hier war das Maß genau richtig, nicht zu anstrengend, aber man wurde auch gefordert!

    Auch der Norden von Fuerteventura war sehr beeindruckend!!

    Tolles Flair!!

    Wir hatten eine ganz tolle Woche und sind sehr dankbar!!

    Können wir nur weiterempfehlen!!

    Even though the trip is organized for the entire group, each package is tailored to meet individual guest expectations. The hikes were truly spectacular.

    "A holiday from heaven"

    Bas & Darja were the most accommodating lovely people. Virtually one-to-one surfing tuition from Bas who taught me more in 2 hours than I’d learnt in 30 years. And an incredible one-to-one e-biking tour to boot. They are so there to support you on your holiday on whatever form you want to take it. I had to find a doctor which Darja helped me with without a problem in the world. I can’t recommend them enough. Just the nicest people.

    "Brilliant combination of active holiday and yoga"

    Yoga is geared for beginning levels, the flows are different every morning. Tjasa is kind, welcoming and flexible. I absolutely loved all the adventure activities planned by Bas and Darja from hiking the canyon to surfing to exploring Los Lobos island and e-biking (brilliant!). It was ideal for the adventure heart who loves a combination of activities. With yoga every morning as a great way to wake-up, an adventure activity through the early afternoon and then lots of time in the later afternoon/evening for the beach, town and enjoying island life. Bas/Darja are a fabulous team, so helpful and communicate in detail all the plans daily to keep you active - you are NEVER bored. From the airport pick-up, it felt like home and a super welcoming community. Worth all the money as you didn't have to worry about any detail. They give great recommendations for restaurants and any extra support you need throughout the trip. Fabulous holiday!

    "Everything was great - I would do it again!"

    Darja und Bas are lovely. They really took good care of everyone. I enjoyed talking and spending time with them during the activities.

    Yoga with Eline was great. She is a funny yoga instructor. She really took time to correct everyone. Exactly what I was looking for. Yoga took place in the morning at 9 at the beach.

    Corralejo is a nice small city with a great beach, good restaurants & bars and shops. The accommodation was close to the city and beach.

    In addition to the activities, I booked some private surf session with Bas. It was a great experience. I really enjoyed surfing. Bas is a great coach. I already think of planning my next surf vacation.

    "Perfect Week!"

    Thank you so much to Darja and Bas for this amazing week in Corralejo.

    It was fun and exciting to do hikes on this beautiful island. Also the Yoga sessions on the beach and the trips to see this stunnig landscape were the best.

    Hope to visit you again on day! Greetings, Annett.

    "The Retreat I Needed"

    I loved this retreat! It was a perfect balance between active and relaxing. The yoga by the beach is so soothing with the ocean waves in the background. The hiking (especially the canyon hike) was so beautiful over unique landscapes.

    The instructors Darja and Bas really go above and beyond to make sure that you have a great experience. Corralejo is a great place to escape into nature. I highly recommend this retreat!

    "Fantastic eXperience."

    We had an amazing time with Bas, Darja and the team. From mountain biking including some single track to hiking up volcanoes and yoga on the beach. Nothing was too much trouble and we learnt a lot about the island. Will definitely be back!

    "Thoroughly enjoyable activity holiday "

    From the minute we were picked up from the airport by Darja, to being dropped off by Bas, every instructor/group leader was very friendly, chatty and welcoming.

    We were both new to yoga but clear instruction helped us rise to the challenge. It was a lovely way to start the day. A short 30 minute walk to the beach and an hour of yoga in the fresh air listening to the sound of the sea and waves was so calming.

    The hikes to Los Lobos and the Ajuy caves with Ricardo and Bas respectively, were incredibly scenic and enjoyable.

    Our adventures on the e-mountain bikes with Bas were great fun, and challenging for those of us who are not so keen on ascents.

    We found lots of lovely places to eat in Corralejo too. There is no shortage of choices for food options.

    "Super Team / sehr persönlich prima Kombination "

    Ausflüge in der Natur. Yoga am Strand. Super Organisation und Kommunikation. Highlight für mich die e bike Tour nach il cortillo . Hätte ich auch zweimal gemacht!! Aber auch die excursion indon. Canyon und Ajuy und Los Lobos und die vulkanlandschaften. Alles hat mir gefallen.

    "Amazing experience! "

    This retreat was a fantastic experience that I can highly recommend to anyone looking for a mix of different activities and a relaxing holiday. Bas and Daria were very accommodating, friendly and attentive to our wishes and needs.

    The morning yoga on the beach was a refreshing way to start every day and the other activities were a lot of fun. I especially loved the cave hiking and the trip to Lobos islands. The landscapes were beautiful and the guide was flexible and would always adapt the hike depending on the groups wishes.

    There was plenty of time for relaxing, eating at restaurants, going out in the evening and hanging out by the sea/pool in between the activities.

    I travelled with a friend, which was great, but it would have also been possible to travel alone as the other participants were friendly, likeminded and including.

    Thank you guys so much for the awesome holiday!

    "Completely surpassed expectations - outstanding "

    The folks at FuerteXperience went above and beyond, and my time in Fuerteventura was fantastic. Bas & Darja really love what they do, and it shows. They are very organised, and somehow managed to create a tailored itinerary for each participant a varying levels of fitness. Lots of little unexpected extras here and there, and they struck the right balance between organised activities, flexibility & our independence. They really shared their passion for the island and I’ll be back for sure!

    "Excellent active holiday with wide variety of options!"

    Daria and Bas have an excellent company and programme, with multiple options to cater to different interests. From initial correspondence with them, to the airport pick-up (complete with unexpected welcome bag of goodies), through some customized options throughout the week to the little extras, they are both dedicated, hard-working and passionate about wanting to ensure the best possible experience for all of their guests, whom they treat as fast friends.

    What I liked most about this retreat was the wide variety of options, to include diverse hikes and eBiking through volcanos, dunes, coastal routes, deserts, canyons and caverns, a fantastic, active way to explore the beauty that Fuertaventura (and Los Lobos) have to offer.

    Although there was at least one option for yoga practice each day, it should be noted that this is not a yoga retreat, so someone looking for that as their primary activity may be disappointed. I was not, however, as I took advantage of the yoga class most days, but personally was mostly interested in the hikes and eBiking. I also appreciate very much the fact that the activities included variations for all levels of fitness.

    Although surfing was another option, and those who tried surfing with Bas raved about it, I can’t speak to it as I didn’t try. For me, the week was the perfect balance of activity and free time to explore or soak up some rays on the beach, and I can’t say enough positive things about Daria and Bas.

    Activities were all fun. Everything was highly organized. Bas, Djara and Ricardo were all super nice and cool. Yoga instructor (Tjasa) was great, and easy on the eyes! I enjoyed doing yoga on the beach at 9am every morning. Excellent experience overall, i would do it again.

    "Wer Qualität sucht ist hier richtig - einfach nur Top"

    Ich kann den Urlaub mit Fuertexperience nur weiterempfehlen, insbesondere wenn man neben Yoga und Surfen auch etwas vom Land sehen möchte. Ich glaube, dass ich mit dieser Kombi keinen anderen Anbieter hier auf der Plattform gesehen habe.

    Bas und Darja sind sowas von bemüht, dass der Urlaub nahezu perfekt wird. Bei irgendwelchen Fragen oder Wünsche konnte man sich immer an sie wenden.

    Ich hatte zudem 3 Surfeinheiten mit Bas, was top war (wenn es dafür mehr als 5 Sterne geben würde, würd ich die auch vergeben). Dadurch dass niemand anderes zu meinem

    Reisezeitpunkt an Surfen interessiert war, habe ich Einzelunterricht bekommen, wovon ich nur profitieren konnte.

    Auch wenn der Preis auf den ersten Blick, besonders wenn man ihn mit anderen Anbietern vergleicht, etwas hoch erscheint, ist er alle Male den Urlaub Wert. Den Qualität hat seinen Preis :)

    "Well organised week"

    Darja and Bas are great hosts and I love the fact that everything was organised and all I had to do was turn up at the right time in the right gear! The pace of the activities worked really well for me. Starting the day with yoga on the beach, listening to the sound of the ocean was simply wonderful. Bas is a great lead for the e-biking, hiking and exploring the island, all of which were great fun.T

    "Gerne wieder"

    Die Kursleiter Bas und Darja sind sehr gut organisiert und reagieren sofort auf etwaige Fragen. Sie haben auch eine Empfehlungsliste für die besten Restaurants zusammengestellt. Mein Hotel war in 30 Minuten Gehdistanz zum Yogastrand, aber es war ein schöner Spaziergang entlang des Meeres. Die Unterkunft im Surfing Colors war für meine Ansprüche perfekt: Saubet, ruhig, Pool, kleine Bar. Die Wanderungen waren schön, nicht sehr anspruchsvoll, aber das wäre in der Hitze auch nicht möglich gewesen. Die Wanderung zum Secret Canyon war überraschend schön. Danke dafür!

    "highly recommended"

    I booked a holiday package with FuerteExperience that included yoga, hiking and ebiking. I was picked up at the airport with a bag full of snacks. During the drive to the hotel Bas gave me an idea how the week can look like. Already by then I knew, I made the right decision to go to Fuerteventura. I really liked the hiking in the Vulcanos, Los Lobos and the caves of Ajuy. The ebiking was really cool and fun with Bas.

    Darja and Bas go out of their way to make sure everyone has an outstanding holiday. They arranged everything for us, it was never a problem, everything was possible and they were flexible to make changes. I highly recommend FuertExperience especially for solo travelers.

    I was lucky to meet wonderful and lovely people from all over the world.

    Thank you for making my vacation so wonderful and unforgettable. Darja and Bas you really do a great job! I'm sure I will be back!

    I loved how Darja and Bas were always doing everything to offer the best experience to everyone and match every expectation. The surf lessons were very personalized and I could get much more confidence. The hiking tours were also really pleasant, we visited some beautiful spots. They also made sure everyone traveling solo was included in a whatsapp group with other guests to meet each other and join dinners and etc... It was a truly unique and transforming experience and I'd do everything again!

    The organisation was just perfect! Amazing how Darja would be dedicated 24 hours always bringing the most flexibility to meet your expectations. Bas is a brilliant surf instructor bringing his passion to us and finding the best spot to ensure we are successful and have fun by surfing. He is also great bringing us to beautiful sceneries for a hike and adapt to all levels of health. The city is super lively you’ll find tasty restaurants and a lots of bars, music in the streets and also very nice beaches and all needed. Hotel was perfect too, super clean quiet all you need nice pool. And it is 10 mn walking from city center and beaches. I highly recommend that stay and thank Darja and Bas for their kindness and energy!

    "Lovely Rejuvenating Experience"

    This was a brilliant surf and yoga retreat, but with lots of other activities. Both Darja and Bas are just wonderful people who radiate such brilliant and positive energy and you feel you are in good hands from the beginning. From the first communication to being on the retreat and after, it has been an energising experience. Bas is a great surf instructor and hiking with Darja was so fun. They also think of little things that help you be comfortable with nice recommendations for restaurants to try and also what else to explore when you have spare time. During your time on the retreat you will feel that both Darja and Bas want you to have the best possible time and they will ensure you do - it was super nice and I felt cared for and well looked after.

    "First class yoga and hiking retreat"

    Bas and Darja our hosts were really fantastic. They were so friendly and welcoming and were really flexible. We were picked up from the airport, taken to the hotel via a guided tour of correlejo and left with a bag of goodies/snacks. The holiday was a great combination of activity and relaxation. We started most days with yoga on the beach. This was a 30 minute walk along the beach and a beautiful way to start the day. Tjasa was great and accommodated all levels of pupils. Then we we either taken on a hike, e-biking or had time to relax. The hikes were all beautiful. Lobos Island is definitely worth a visit and the walk up the gorge was challenging but great. Bas and Darja were great guides and knew all the most interesting places to go! E-biking was a highlight. We went off road on a route I would never have been able to manage on a normal bike and Bas took us to unique scenic points that we would never have found on our own. He took us on challenging routes but was really supportive so it felt fun and exciting! The hotel was lovely and just a few minutes walk from the town centre with lots of restaurants. I would highly recommend this trip if you want a personalised tour which is active and fun!

    "Perfect trip"

    I really enjoyed the whole trip. I felt very welcomed and comfortable at all times. Bas and Darja are so nice and organized everything perfectly. I appreciated that there was only a small group, so changes in the program could made easily and very individually. During surf lessions we were also only 3-4 people, so everybody was seen and made great progress. I spent time with some lovely people, but it was also no problem not to join the group. All together, for me it was a really great week and I can recommend Bas and Darja by heart.

    Darja y Bass son los mejores anfitriones . Recorrer la isla desde otra perspectiva, ver lugares mágicos, volver con las experiencias vividas, llena de energía. Compartir con gente maravillosa .. muy recomendable , especialmente el tour con e_bike!!

    La Isla es increíble y tiene muchos rincones bellos escondidos. Darja y Bass te contagian su Amor por ella.

    Otra forma de tener vacaciones activas y de relax . Sentirse acompañado y conocer gente estupenda !! No importa la edad, ni la forma física puesto que ellos se adaptan al grupo que suele ser pequeño para que la experiencia sea lo más personal posible. No os lo perdáis !!

    A great "personalized" experience, there's plenty of choice for activities, and space for spare time as well. Bas and Darja are always ready to provide excellent recommendations.

    This is one of a kind type of retreat, it was beyond my expectations on many aspects:

    -Darja and Bas are kind and very helpful hosts, there's good flexibility for schedules and activities.

    -Bas is a master in picking the best surf spots according to conditions. Thanks Bas for these amazing surf sessions!

    -The accommodation was super, and with convenient location.

    I can only highly recommend, and will be back for sure !

    The fuertexperience team were very warm, welcoming, professional and attentive throughout my stay. I was given a bag of groceries on arrival (snacks, water, fruit etc) which was really thoughtful and just what I needed after my journey. The accomodation was great in terms of quality and location. Correlejo is a lovely, safe and friendly little town. Eating out is great value and there is plenty of choice. The activities were great and Bas & Darja were very flexible. They always made sure the group was comfortable and safe. We got to see other parts of the island which was fantastic.

    Darja and Bas have created a friendly, professional, personalised small group set up that accommodates different abilities and interests while feeling like a chilled group of friends that have experienced guiding to the unusual and non-touristic areas in Fuertaventura. They are both flexible in daily scheduling to suit weather and participants individual wishes.

    Their kindness and thought in how they designed the retreat is really special. Over days of surfing, hiking, swimming, windsurfing yoga and boat trips they effortlessly managed transport, transfers, a fantastic NY day beach barbecue, all COVID safe. And Bas teaching is tremendous- patient, empathetic whilst being fun and super enthusiastic. Thank you Darja an Bas!
