Guides Available Now

The largest Azorean island: Sete Cidades crater lakes, Furnas hot springs, Lagoa do Fogo, tea fields, and whale watching.
Choose By Trip Character
Islands reward different kinds of trips. A beach week, a hiking trip, a family stay and a car-free short break each point to a different island, sometimes within the same archipelago.
The guides on islands.fun compare the things that actually decide a trip: what the weather does in each season, how much of the island you can reach without a car, where the good bases are and how long the distances feel on the ground.
Which Island Fits Your Trip
- Beach first: Fuerteventura, Porto Santo and Formentera are built around sand
- Hiking: La Palma, La Gomera, Madeira and the Tenerife interior have the deepest trail networks
- Quiet and small: El Hierro, La Graciosa, Corvo and Menorca keep the volume down
- Culture and city life: Las Palmas, Palma and Angra do Heroísmo anchor their islands
- Family travel: Menorca, Gran Canaria and Porto Santo keep logistics simple
- Car-light trips: La Graciosa, Formentera and Corvo work without your own car
- Winter sun: the Canary Islands stay mild when the Mediterranean cools down
How islands.fun Helps
Every guide is researched against official and first-hand sources, written to answer the questions travelers actually ask, and labeled with visible update and review dates.
Facts that change, such as permits, transport connections and opening arrangements, carry their sources so you can verify them before you book. When something is out of date, the corrections page explains how to tell us.
Coverage Roadmap
The islands.fun catalog covers 22 islands across the Canary Islands, the Azores, the Balearic Islands and the Madeira archipelago. Complete guides are released in reviewed waves rather than published half-finished.
Guides available today: Tenerife, Gran Canaria and São Miguel. Every other island already appears in its region overview, and its guide will be linked the moment it passes review.
Madeira and Porto Santo
Madeira has its own dedicated guide, with day-by-day planning tools, at madeira.fun. It is run by the same team as islands.fun and goes far deeper than a single overview page can.
Porto Santo, Madeira's beach island neighbour, belongs to the islands.fun catalog and appears in the Madeira and Porto Santo region overview.
