What to Pack for a Cycling Trip to Lanzarote

Planning a cycling holiday in Lanzarote? Good choice. With its all-year-round sunshine, smooth roads, and challenging terrain, the island is the perfect destination for road cyclists. But before you saddle up and fly off, here’s your essential packing guide to make sure you’re prepared for everything this volcanic paradise has to offer.

1. Cycling Kit for All Conditions

Lanzarote’s weather is mostly mild, but the wind and occasional early morning chill can catch you out. Pack:

Lightweight short-sleeved jerseys

Arm warmers and a gilet or windbreaker

Bib shorts

Base layers

A long-sleeved jersey or jacket for early rides

2. Sun Protection Essentials

Even in winter, the UV index is high. Don’t forget:

High SPF sunscreen

UV-protective sunglasses

A lightweight cycling cap under your helmet

3. Tools and Spares

While shops are available, it’s best to bring your own basics:

Spare inner tubes

Mini pump or CO2 inflator

Multitool and tyre levers

4. Hydration and Nutrition

The wind and sun can dehydrate you fast. Pack:

Two water bottles

Electrolyte tablets or hydration mix

Energy bars or gels

5. Travel Essentials

Make your trip smoother with:

Your cycling shoes and cleats

Helmet (mandatory in Spain!)

Passport, travel insurance, and booking confirmations

Power adapter for EU sockets
