Go Kart Fuerteventura – Full Throttle Under the Canary Sun
There are moments on holiday when you leave the sun-lounger idyll behind and long for something different. For that slight flutter in your stomach, the smell of rubber and tarmac, the deep rumble of an engine directly beneath your seat. On Fuerteventura, that moment is easy to find – because the island offers, with its go-kart tracks, an adrenaline experience that no sunset on the beach can match.
Go Kart Fuerteventura – at first that sounds like a simple leisure pursuit. But anyone who has once sat behind the wheel of one of these vehicles and floored the accelerator knows: this is about more. About speed. About control. About that strangely satisfying moment when you overtake a rival on the inside of a tight corner and, for one heartbeat, feel like a real racing driver.
The two main go-kart tracks at a glance
In 2026, two venues stand out on Fuerteventura when it comes to karting on Fuerteventura: the Karting Club Ocios del Sur in the south of the island and Gran Karting Fuerteventura in the east, close to the capital. Both have their own character, their own magic – and both deserve a closer look.

Karting Club Ocios del Sur – where the track breathes
If you drive about ten minutes inland from Costa Calma, you reach the small village of Tamaretilla. Here, south-west of Tuineje, lies the Karting Club Ocios del Sur – sometimes simply called Tamaretilla Karting – waiting for all those who take karting seriously.
The track is remarkable. 1,500 metres in length, eight to ten metres wide, with genuine elevation changes and corners that push you into your seat. You quickly realise: this is no tame tourist circuit. The profile is hilly and technically demanding, and anyone searching for the ideal racing line here will have to earn it. That said, overtaking is possible, which turns every session into a mini race.
Vehicles for all ages
With around 30 karts, the facility offers the right vehicle for almost every age. Mini karts for the little ones, Senior karts with plenty of power for teenagers and adults – and a particularly clever idea: Duo karts. These two-seaters allow younger children to go around the track together with a parent. What would be a reason for exclusion at other karting venues becomes a shared memory here.
Prices & opening times
A 30-minute package for two people costs around 110 euros, often split into two slots of 15 minutes each. The track opens daily from 11:00, with closing times varying between 18:30 and 20:00 depending on the source. A quick call or a WhatsApp message to +34 620 50 43 99 in advance is advisable – particularly in the off season.
Those who aren’t driving still have a great time: the covered terrace offers a complete view of the entire track. Cold drinks and ice cream are available on site. The venue can also be booked for birthdays, stag dos, and corporate events – an experience that brings people together.
Tip: Sturdy footwear is compulsory. On windy days, fine Saharan dust settles on the surface – which makes drifting through the corners fun in its own unique way.
Gran Karting Fuerteventura – Speed in the East of the Island
If you are staying in the north of the island – in Corralejo, for example, or in Caleta de Fuste – then Gran Karting Fuerteventura is geographically much closer. The facility is located on the Carretera Aeropuerto-Puerto del Rosario, kilometre 3.5, practically on the route from the airport to the capital.
The track here is a different story. Around 1,000 metres, flat and exceptionally wide – which may sound like less at first, but in practice means: more room to overtake, more speed on the straight sections, more space for the battle at the braking point. Anyone looking to chase lap records will find ideal conditions here.
Professional Racing Feel
The professional lap timing system makes the difference palpable. Every lap is recorded, every personal best saved. This is not a novelty – this is the moment when a holiday activity becomes genuine competition. Whether against friends, family, or yourself.
Prices & opening times
Entry starts at around 20 euros per turn (approx. 10 minutes), which makes Gran Karting particularly accessible. The facility opens daily from 10:00, and in summer it often stays open later. You can get in touch on +34 928 85 50 11 or +34 606 20 86 52.
The children’s, junior, and competition karts cater for all age groups – from the first tentative laps of the little ones to the ambitious runs of the adults.
Tip: The same applies here: no flip-flops. And on windy days the Saharan dust can settle on the track – those who have learned to handle it will have a genuine advantage in the corners.
Which go-kart track suits whom?
The question of which of the two go-kart tracks on Fuerteventura is the right choice depends less on objective quality criteria than on what you are looking for.
For families with young children, the Karting Club Ocios del Sur is hard to beat. The Duo karts are a unique selling point not found elsewhere. Here you race together – and remember it together.
For couples or groups who are after speed and head-to-head competition, Gran Karting Fuerteventura offers the more compelling package. The wide track, the lap timing system and the powerful competition karts create an experience that comes close to real motorsport.
And for all those who truly want to get to know Fuerteventura – for those who know not just the beaches and dunes, but also the interior, the dust, the stillness between the lava fields and the track that winds like a vein through the island – for them, perhaps the journey to Tamaretilla is the real adventure.
Go Kart Fuerteventura – More Than Just a Day Trip
Karting on Fuerteventura is no substitute for the nature, the coastlines, the quiet evenings. But it is a contrast that does you good. A moment in which you are entirely in the present – because you have to be. Because the next apex is coming, because the braking points allow no excuses, because the driver behind you is catching up.
And when you then park the kart, take off the helmet and brush the wind-swept hair from your face, there it is – that smile. The one you don’t need to explain. The one you originally went on holiday for.
Fuerteventura has many faces. This is one of the most beautiful.
