Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura Tickets: Prices, Shows & Smart Booking Tips

Inside Oasis Wildlife: what you’re paying for

Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura (long known as Oasis Park) is the biggest animal attraction in the Canary Islands’ eastern islands — a large wildlife park and botanical garden at La Lajita, on Fuerteventura’s dry southern coast. Against the island’s bare volcanic hills, the park’s palm groves and gardens genuinely feel like the oasis in the name.

The residents are the draw: giraffes you can hand-feed, elephants, hippos, lemurs, reptiles, birds of prey and a busy programme of sea lion and parrot shows through the day. The park is also home to Europe’s largest camel reserve, and the guided camel safari through the hills is its signature experience — expect it as a paid add-on rather than part of standard entry.

Beyond the animals, the botanical garden is a serious attraction in its own right, with one of Europe’s great cactus and succulent collections spread over the hillside. It’s the quiet half of the park most visitors rush past; don’t.

Who suits it? Families above all — the shows and feedings are built for kids — but it works equally well as a slow day for couples and anyone wildlife-inclined. There are no rides and no thrill element; your Oasis Wildlife tickets buy animal encounters, shows and gardens, so set expectations accordingly and it delivers.

Timing is everything

Arrive for opening at 09:00 if you can. The first hours are cooler, the animals are more active, and you’ll have the giraffe enclosure and gardens to yourself before the excursion coaches arrive mid-morning.

Build your day around the show schedule: the sea lion and bird shows run at fixed times, and the gaps between them are when to walk the botanical garden or book your camel slot. Grab a timetable at the entrance and plan backwards from the two shows you most want.

Crowds follow the tour-bus rhythm rather than weekends — late morning to early afternoon is the peak. Winter and shoulder months are comfortable all day; in summer, do the open, shadeless stretches (camel reserve, cactus garden) before noon and keep the animal houses and shaded show arenas for the heat.

Insider tip: Book the giraffe feeding for early in the day. Sessions have small capacities and sell out, and the giraffes are noticeably keener at the first sittings than after a full day of visitors with feed cups.

How to save on tickets

Book online before you go. On resale platforms like GetYourGuide, adult day tickets start around €44, with children’s rates below that and small children typically free — check the current age thresholds when booking.

Where the real decisions sit:

• Add-ons versus basic entry. Camel safari, giraffe feeding and lemur encounters each cost extra. Decide upfront — buying the bundle in one order is usually cheaper and guarantees a slot, since experiences cap daily numbers.
• Transfer-included tickets. If you don’t have a hire car, a ticket with resort pickup often beats paying for taxis both ways from the northern resorts.
• Family maths. Two adults and two kids with one shared add-on is a better-value day than buying every experience for everyone. The standard ticket alone already fills four hours.
• Year-round pricing. There’s no meaningful low-season discount pattern to chase — pick the day that suits your week and book it.

Getting there without the hassle

The park sits beside the FV-2 coastal road at La Lajita, between Costa Calma and Tarajalejo in the south of Fuerteventura. By car it’s roughly 10 minutes from Costa Calma, 25–30 from Caleta de Fuste, and about an hour from Corralejo in the far north — roads are fast and parking at the park is straightforward.

Without a car: public buses run the east-coast corridor and stop near La Lajita, taxis from Costa Calma are cheap, and transfer-included tickets cover the main resort zones — the sensible option from Corralejo. Fuerteventura airport (FUE) is around 40 minutes’ drive north.

Day-tripping from another island is possible but long; ferries from Lanzarote land at Corralejo, leaving you the full length of the island still to cover. If you’re based on Lanzarote, take the earliest crossing.

Make it a trip

Fuerteventura rewards pairing the park with the island’s natural headliners:

• Acua Water Park in Corralejo is the island’s water park — the obvious second family day if you’re staying in the north.
• Corralejo dunes natural park — vast white sand dunes minutes from town, best at golden hour.
• Sotavento beaches near Costa Calma, some of Europe’s finest sand and a kitesurfing mecca, 15 minutes from the park.
• Island-hopping to Tenerife? Loro Parque and Siam Park make a strong two-day pairing there.
