Visiting Lanzarote means discovering a variety of landscapes: volcanoes, caves, lagoons, cliffs, beaches… And you don’t always have to take your car. See our selection of the best excursions in Lanzarote to admire the different landscapes, have fun, go off-road or hop over to Fuerteventura. This guide also includes some of the best boat excursions in Lanzarote to discover the island from another point of view.

This opinion is completely independent , based on our experiences. We visited the region anonymously, making our own choices and paying our bills in full.

Lanzarote’s most beautiful excursions – quick answers

If you don’t want to read everything, we recommend these 4 excursions to see the best of Lanzarote:

• Admire the landscapes of Timanfaya National Park and a best-of of the island – see program and availability
• Dolphin cruise – see our preferred option
• Discover the works of César Manrique, including the caves – see program and availability
• A day trip to the island of La Graciosa – see bus + ferry option

Most excursions can take you to the 3 main areas of Lanzarote: Playa Blanca, Playa del Carmen and Costa Teguise. But be sure to check first.

1. Excursion to Timanfaya only

Timanfaya National Park is the best excursion in Lanzarote. It’s absolutely breathtaking! It’s a national park and you can’t walk around on your own. But even in a group, it’s fantastic to see the colors and power of the Earth.

Timanfaya National Park is located on the west coast of the island and consists entirely of volcanic soil. Access is limited, with just one road and a bus to take you out to see the scenery.

This route offers fantastic panoramas of the many volcanic craters (formed mainly between 1730 and 1736), different types of lava and incredible colors. It’s a much-visited attraction, but it’s well done and well worth the effort.

If you don’t want to rent a car, there are excursions from all the resorts (Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise) and the cruise terminal.

• A half-day which covers only the journey to Timanfaya, the fire experience at the restaurant and the park tour by bus – See program and availability

Tip: We recommend sitting on the right-hand side of the bus when taking the Timanfaya bus. There are beautiful things to see on both sides, but some of the best views will be to your right.

2. A little of everything in Lanzarote – day trip

You can also combine the park with other attractions over a full day. This way, you can discover more of Lanzarote’s beauty. We particularly like the option that adds the green lagoon, César Manrique’s Jameos del Agua cave and the Geria vineyard.

See program and availability

Here are the other locations in addition to Timanfaya:

Here, at Charco de los Clicos , the combination is exceptional: a green lagoon, the remains of the volcano with red, yellow and black rocks, and the black sand beach. The volcanic crater was formed during eruptions in the 1730s and flooded by the ocean. With erosion, only half the cone remains.

Yes, there are vineyards on Lanzarote. It’s quite amazing, but by using picon on the soil to capture moisture and creating small rock walls to protect from the wind, they are able to grow grapes and make wine! You’ll visit the most famous bodega: La Geria, with its impressive valley.

We think it was one of the most frustrating things about Lanzarote. This pool in Jameos des Agua is so inviting!!!! Isn’t it? Here, César Manrique transformed part of a long lava tunnel that had collapsed in several places. There’s an underground lake, restaurants and an amphitheatre…

3. Dolphin-watching boat trip

We love the whale and dolphin watching tours. We had high hopes, and were lucky enough to see an impressive number of dolphins. A wonderful experience with the Lanzarote landscape in the background. You can also often see bottlenose dolphins in the Canary Islands, including Lanzarote. See our article .

Choose from 4 tour formats:

Option 1 – Daytime speedboat – duration 1h30 with swimming See details and availability Option 2 – sunset speedboat – 2h30 with champagne See details and availability Option 3 – fast boat and Lobos Island – 5h with discovery of part of Lobos Island See details and availability Option 4 – Catamaran sunset cruise – 2h See details and availability There are resident dolphins all year round. Some say that June is the best month to see many of them, but we haven’t found confirmation.

4. Tour of César Manrique’s works

César Manrique left an indelible mark on Lanzarote thanks to his commitment to respecting the environment and integrating himself into it. His works on the island are surprising, combining the work of nature with discreet, curving architecture that blends with the rock.

It’s not possible to visit all the places linked to the artist in a single day. But you can discover some of it. We recommend this excursion: see program and availability .

It covers a good variety of locations:

• Monumento al Campesino highlights local culture
• The César Manrique Foundation
• Mirador del Rio, hidden in the cliffs with breathtaking views

• The Cactus Garden, a must-see
• Jameos de Lagua, in a lava tube with lake and pool

Book the tour .

OUR ADVICE FOR RENTING A CAR IN Lanzarote

• Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
• A small car is all you need.
• But you can also choose a larger one if you wish, as the parking spaces are rather large.
• Demand is high, so book early .

Read our tips

5. Excursion to the island of La Graciosa

La Graciosa is a small island to the north of Lanzarote. Access is by ferry and there are no roads at all, just tracks in the sand. You can explore it on foot or with one of the 4WD cabs. Unlike Lanzarote, it is covered in golden-white sand. But there are also a few volcanoes. The colors are magnificent and you can enjoy different landscapes: beaches, volcanoes and basalt columns. Even the ferry crossing is fascinating, with superb views of the Famara cliffs to the north of Lanzarote. See our article .

We recommend taking the first ferry in the morning to avoid the crowds who come to spend the day at the beach. Ferries depart from Orzola. Note that for those staying in Playa Blanca, it takes longer to get to the north (1h10min by car). 2 companies offer ferries from Lanzarote to La Graciosa. See departures and book or book with bus pick-up . And on site, we recommend hiring a 4WD cab to explore the island’s most beautiful landscapes: book your 4WD tour in advance!

Another option if you don’t rent a car is to take part in a day’s sailing on a catamaran around La Graciosa – see program .

6. Volcano hiking

The best way to discover Lanzarote’s volcanic landscapes is by hiking. The island offers a wide choice of hikes of varying lengths and difficulty. See our favorite hikes .

If you don’t want to hike alone, you can join a group. Here’s a small-group option around Timanfaya: see program and availability Or head north to the La Corona volcano and its impressive views: see program and availability .

WITH OUR GUIDE PLAN YOUR DREAM TRIP TO lanzarote

All the information you need for your trip:

• 7 maps that make planning easier
• + 75 pre-selected locations
• Practical advice
• + 140 photos to help you choose

7. Immerse yourself in the world of Lanzarote wine

If Lanzarote’s vineyards fascinate you, given the island’s extreme climatic conditions, you can combine a hike, a vineyard tour and a wine tasting! Find out more about Lanzarote wine in our article .

This tour takes you to La Géria bodega, the island’s most famous. You can hike in the valley surrounded by vineyards protected by low walls. The views are exceptional! And you can enjoy one of the island’s most famous white wines to reward yourself after the effort!

8. Alternative excursions

You can also go off the beaten track to discover Lanzarote’s volcanic landscapes from a different angle. Depending on your sporting or mechanical desires, you can go exploring:

• by eBike – see program and availability
• by buggy – see program and availability

9. Excursion to Fuerteventura and the Corralejo dunes

Another classic is to set aside a day to discover the neighboring island of Fuerteventura. It’s so close and yet so different. The landscapes are more mountainous and less volcanic. It has better beaches but not the same charm as Lanzarote, in our opinion. The island is large, so you’ll only be able to discover the north. But you’ll spend some time in the sand dunes of Corralejo . And we love it! It’s an opportunity to discover another side of the Canary Islands.

10. Excursion to Fuerteventura and the island of Lobos

But if you want to keep with the volcanic theme, you can also book a fairly free excursion that takes you to spend some time on the beautiful little island of Lobos and also to the town of Corralejo on Fuerteventura. Lobos Island is one of our favorite spots in the Canaries. It’s like entering another world.

11. Catamaran to Papagayo beaches

Lanzarote’s southwest coast is a must-see. Papagayo and its neighboring golden sandy beaches are considered to be the best on Lanzarote and are one of the island’s main attractions. Their vast sandy expanses have remained largely untouched, with no paved roads leading to them. These beaches are located on the Macizo de los Ajaches (Natural Monument), the island’s oldest territory, formed around 14 million years ago (hence the rounded peaks and deep ravines).

You can explore it on foot, or via an unpaved track. Or you can take a boat out to sea and admire the wilderness. Just be aware that you won’t be able to get to the beaches from the boats.

From Puerto del Carmen: Catamarans allow you to explore the entire south coast and perhaps catch a glimpse of dolphins. You can swim or kayak around the boat. See program and availability

From Playa Blanca: You’ll discover these magnificent landscapes on a yacht. You can swim and stand-up paddle around the boat. See program and availability

Best day trips and excursions in Lanzarote

There are 3 main tourist resorts in Lanzarote: Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise so we encourage you to find the best tours and excursions available from where you're staying. 

• Tours from Puerto del Carmen (Visit Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua and go on a sunset boat tour from Puerto del Carmen)
• From Playa Blanca: 40-Minute Jet Ski Excursion in Marina Rubicón (40 minutes of jet skiing for one or two people accompanied by a monitor)
• Tours from Costa Teguise (Visit Mirador del Rio, Cueva de los Verdes or spend a day at Aquapark Costa Teguise )

Puerto del Carmen is the largest and most popular resort in Lanzarote.

It's a great place for nightlife, as there are plenty of bars, restaurants and clubs that stay open until the early morning hours.

Puerto del Carmen also has several great beaches, shops and activities for kids, so it's good for a family holiday also, especially the Matagorda area. The town is situated close to the airport, so it's extremely easy to get here, by bus, taxi or car. Since it's situated very centrally on the island, it's easy to make daily excursions on your own or with tour companies.

One of the rising resorts in Lanzarote, great for families with young kids, as there are many activities around. The largest waterpark on the island is right in Costa Teguise and there are also many hotels with kids clubs so that mom and dad can also have a proper holiday. Playa de las Cucharas is known as one of the best beaches in Lanzarote , although a bit windier compared with the beaches in other resorts.

Situated in the very south of Lanzarote, Playa Blanca is a bit quieter compared to Puerto del Carmen, but it's got great beaches and many attractions nearby.

Playa Blanca also has a large marina from where you can take a lot of boat trips, including the ferry to Fuerteventura, if you're curious to spend a day in Corralejo.

If you don't want to rent a car and drive on the island on your own, you always have the option of going on an organized tour, which will show you the highlights of the island.

The main points of interest in Lanzarote are all included in this tour: Timanfaya National Park (bus ride through the volcanic landscape), Jameos del Agua, Haria Valley (or the valley of the 1000 palms) and many more interesting places, like Monumento del Campesino.

This is a really comprehensive tour and also one of the most popular tours in Lanzarote, which will surely make you fall in love with the beauty of this charming volcanic island. The tour is recommended especially for first-time visitors to Lanzarote who want to discover and see as much as possible in one day.

• Duration 9 - 10 hours
• Includes entrance to Timanfaya National Park & Jameos del Agua
• Free cancellation up to 24 hours before activity starts

What to do in Lanzarote for a fun family day: visit the animal parks and water parks

Ranchos Texas is the only animal park in Lanzarote, with a wild west theme and it's a great attraction for both kids and adults.

The park is situated very close to Puerto del Carmen and it's easy to get to by taxi or shuttle bus.

You can spend an entire day looking at the animals and the shows and in the evenings they have a western night, where you can party like you are in Texas.

• Visit a unique wildlife park with a Wild West theme
• Includes access to a dolphin demonstration and the chance to watch exotic birds and birds of prey

Aqualava Waterpark is located in the Playa Blanca resort and although fairly small if you compare it to Siam Park for example, it can provide a day of family fun, featuring the only saltwater wave pool in Lanzarote.

Aqualava is a great place to visit in Lanzarote, especially for families with kids, since they have attractions for all ages, including a lazy river, which is also popular with adults.

• Includes All-access tickets, Sunbeds, Umbrellas
• Recommended for families with kids

Places to visit in Lanzarote: don't miss Lanzarote's most unique attractions

If you have to choose just one place to visit in Lanzarote (but I personally don't know why you'd do that), it should be Timanfaya National Park and the bus trip around the volcanoes, to see the crater and learn more information about the volcanic of Lanzarote. 

Also, even if you don't have lunch at the restaurant located at the car park, you should go inside to see their barbecue where the chicken is cooked using the heat coming from the volcano.

• Includes lunch and wine tasting
• Visit Timanfaya National Park, El Golfo and a tasting of the award-winning wine of La Geria

The green lagoon or the Green Lake appears in many photos when you look for info about Lanzarote and it's really a place you should see with your own eyes. The color looks different depending on the moment of the day and the light outside, but no matter when you do, it's interesting to admire the lake and the ocean so close together.

Los Hervideros is usually paired as a visit with El Golfo and it's one of the best places where you can see the force of the ocean around the island of Lanzarote. The best time to visit is when it's high tide, to see the full force of the currents and waves, as this side of the coast will show you the wild nature of Lanzarote, very different from the vibe you get in the resorts.

Mirador del Rio offers the most breathtaking views in Lanzarote, overlooking the island of La Graciosa. Take care to go up there on a sunny day, otherwise, you won't see much.

You have to visit Jameos del Agua to understand more about Cesar Manrique's vision for Lanzarote. With it's lake filled with albino crabs and its unique concert hall, Jameos del Agua is one of the best places to visit in Lanzarote.

By visiting the Green Caves or Cueva de los Verdes in Spanish you get the opportunity to go inside a lava tube that has solidified after the various eruptions that have taken place in Lanzarote. The cave is visited with a guided tour that lasts for one hour and it's really interesting to learn about the island's volcanic history.

An entire garden, filled with different types of cacti, offering also great views of the ocean. It's a nice activity for an hour or two, especially on a more cloudy day when you don't feel like being on the beach.

The Cactus Garden (Jardin de Cactus) is also the brainchild of Lanzarote's famous César Manrique, so the place brings together the volcanic nature of the island with a collection of cacti, making for an interesting place to visit while in Lanzarote.

Situated inside a protected area, Papagayo beach is probably the most famous beach in Lanzarote and the one that you see on all the postcards. Go there to see the most beautiful turquoise waters but remember to take something to drink and eat with you, as there are no shops inside this natural park, although there is a restaurant overlooking the beach.

If you don't have a rental car or you simply don't want to drive all the way there, you can hop on a catamaran cruise, which also includes lunch and unlimited drinks and it's a fun way to see the beaches of Costa de Papagayo, while stopping to swim and snorkel along the way.

• Includes lunch, welcome mojito cocktail, unlimited draft beer, sangria, soft drinks and water
• Transfers from and to the nearest pick-up point to your accommodation in Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise included

Famara Beach is any surfer's dream and the place to come if you want to start surfing. Also, come visit to see the most amazing sunsets in Lanzarote and to enjoy a meal with fresh fish at one of the small local restaurants.

Each year, between the months of February and March, Lanzarote and the rest of the Canary Islands celebrate Carnival season. There's a party everywhere from Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise, Arrecife and even La Graciosa. If you're visiting at that time, do read more about the carnival in Lanzarote .

After seeing La Graciosa from Mirador del Rio you'll definitely wish to see it with your own eyes from up close. The island has very few residents and most of them live there only during the summer months. There are no asphalt roads and you rent a bike if you want to explore the island and enjoy its beauty. Playa de la Francesa and Playa de las Conchas are the best beaches on La Graciosa , just remember to take your sunscreen as there's no place to hide from the sun.

• Sail along the coast of La Graciosa on a luxury catamaran cruise
• Includes lunch, welcome mojito, unlimited beer, sangría, soft drinks, and water + use of kayaks

Haria is a typical Canarian village, situated in the valley known as the Valley of 1000 palms.

This is actually the greenest part of Lanzarote, compared to the arid aspect the rest of the island has. You can stop for a short walk in Haria or maybe come on Saturday to visit the local market. Here's a list of things to do in Haria .

Teguise was the capital of Lanzarote before Arrecife, so it's a small town full of historic buildings and significance.

Teguise is a sleepy town during the weekdays and only comes alive on Sunday, when it's a big market day. If you want to explore more around the town, you can come during the other days and walk around to find out more about the history of Lanzarote.

• Read more about things to do in Teguise .

The market in Teguise takes place every Sunday and it gets visitors from all over the island.

There are hundreds of stalls, with handmade objects, clothes, food and even the usual fake bags and watches. There's something for everyone, just take care of your purse and haggle the price before you buy something.

Teguise market is the largest market in Lanzarote and probably the largest in the Canary Islands.

Explore the north of Lanzarote on a unique and adrenaline-pumping tour.

Enjoy a small group of a maximum of 5 buggies, starting from Costa Teguise and visiting places like the old quarries of Guatiza, Los Cocoteros and reaching Lanzarote's highest point, Peñas del Chache.

• Go on a 2 or 3-hour, private or group buggy tour from Costa Teguise
• Includes hotel pickup and drop-off, dust protection glasses, bottled water, helmet

La Geria is the valley where the wine region of Lanzarote is located and a visit here will give you the opportunity to sample various types of wines produced on the island. Being the driver while on a wine tour may be a pretty bad experience for the one behind the wheel, so in this case, a tour would be more suitable , so everyone will be able to have a taste. 

Watch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean by embarking on a 2.5-hour cruise aboard a modern and super-fast boat. There's also a good chance of seeing dolphins and other types of marine life during your trip, which is always exciting.

The cruise includes champagne and complimentary pastries, served by the professional crew while you enjoy watching the sunset over the ocean.

• Hotel pick-up and drop-off
• Includes champagne and pastries

Arrecife is the capital of Lanzarote and it's located very close to the airport and it's easy to get there either by car or by bus.

Although it's not the most exciting thing to see in Lanzarote, it can give you an idea in regards to local life beyond the tourist resorts. And they do have some pretty places like Charco San Gines and or Playa del Reducto. You can read further about the best things to do in Arrecife if you do decide to visit..

If you want to shop while on holiday in Lanzarote, a good idea is to visit the local markets. Every town and resort has at least one market day and you can read all about markets in Lanzarote if you want to know more. You'll find everything from authentic craft products to souvenirs and knock-offs like sunglasses and clothing. Teguise has the largest market on the island, but the one in Playa Blanca is in a nice location, in the marina, and some of the stalls move from one market to another, so you can find similar products between all markets.

If you've already visited Timanfaya National Park with the bus tour and you'd like to explore even further, you can go on one of the walking tours organized by the authority that has the park into administration. There are several guided walks available and you need to book online in advance.

If maybe you are curious about Fuerteventura, why not pop over and visit for the day? It is very easy to cross from Lanzarote to Fuerteventura on board of the ferry, and afterward, you can spend the entire day either in Corralejo, or you can take a quick taxi to Corralejo Natural Park, see the sand dunes and the amazing beaches, before heading back again to Lanzarote in the evening.

• Transport to the ferry and back to the pickup point
• Roundtrip ferry ticket & 5 hours of free time

The famous Spanish César Manrique was originally from Lanzarote, so a lot of the main attractions in Lanzarote are his creations, showing us today the vision he had for his island in terms of blending design and functionality with respect for the environment and the surrounding natural space. 

The location where the Foundation is now used to be Cesar Manrique's home for twenty years, between 1968 and 1988, and the house offers truly a unique experience, as it sits on a 30,000 sqm plot, and it combines modern elements of design with old traditional architecture, specific to Lanzarote.

If you're staying in Puerto del Carmen, one of the island's most popular resorts, we highly recommend the walk to Puerto Calero, which can be completed in under one hour one way.

If you've done it all and think there's nothing more to discover on the island...think again! Here's a list of secret places in Lanzarote to add to your list of places to see.

• This museum is temporarily closed due to renovation works.

Located inside the Fortress Santa Barbara, the Pirate Museum can prove to be an interesting experience for adults and children as well.

The Pirate Museum is located next to the Villa de Teguise and boasts spectacular views of the ocean and the island.

Lanzarote is a great place to visit with the family and you should check out our list of things to do with kids in Lanzarote in order to plan some fun days for the little ones.

Nice and enjoyable tour.

Francisco J

I really enjoyed the excursion, all the places we visited were interesting. Eric was very nice and he knows everything about Lanzarote. Good value for the money!

Both the tours we took with you were fabulous. Everthing, from pick up to drop off was faultless. Guides were informative. Lunch on both days was teally enjoyable.

Trip was good, but the lunch need to be improved for sure! Wish the ground tour operated more frequency rather than south tour. the tour guide lady took care of me very well since I was the only japanese in the tour. hope to join other tour in your company next time when I visit Lanzarote!!

Great tour. Lovely guide.

Tour guide was very helpful. Overall experience was excellent and would definitely book again

Service: Excursion South Tour 08/06/2015 The excursion was well-organized, attractive, informative with no hurry. I saw unusual, breathtaking, beautiful landscapes, learnt much about the volcanos and people of Lanzarote, their life and I spent enough time on all sites. The guide was brilliant! Enormous knowledge, fluent in 3 languages, helpful, smiling. I disliked only the crowd at the presentation of the "geyser", we stood in three row around it. I suggest performing it in two parts for the group. I enjoyed the whole excursion very much. Kind regards, Miklos Lantos Budapest

Alejandro R

Wine in the food was terribly bad.

Eric, the guide was very good on both the trips we went on

Very good guide. Very nice price-quality lunch

Besides, going to Timanfaya National Park is a must-do in Lanzarote , and one of the most unique attractions on the island. The incredible volcanic and geological formations here are astounding, and something that you won’t find just anywhere. In fact, walking through this park often feels like traversing the surface of Mars!

If you’re ready to take a Lanzarote volcano trip , here are the 6 best tours in Timanfaya:

1. Full-day Lanzarote Volcano Tour

One of the most popular tours to Timanfaya is this seven-hour excursion , which allows you to fully explore the southern part of Lanzarote. Not only will you visit Timanfaya National Park, but you’ll stop at famous sites like La Geria and the town of Yaiza. It’s a full day and one of the overall best tours in Lanzarote .

Your first stop on this Lanzarote volcano tour includes geothermal demonstrations at Islote de Hilario , Timanfaya’s Visitor Center. Here, you’ll see how the underground heat continues to rise, even though the last volcanic eruptions here took place in the 18 th century.

The trip continues with the famous Route of the Volcanoes , in which you’ll ride a bus past the most incredible landscapes in the park and some of the most active volcanoes in Lanzarote . During this 35-minute bus ride, you’ll see lava flows, craters, and different shades of volcanic sand.

In addition, you’ll enjoy three hidden gems of Timanfaya. First is Los Hervideros , a series of impressive cliffs made of lava. When the waves hit the walls of the cliff, the water seems to boil, hence that name. You’ll also see El Golfo , part of a volcanic crater that offers beautiful views. Finally, visit Charco de Los Clicos , some natural pools with water that turns green from the high concentrations of sulfur.

This Lanzarote volcano bus tour ends in the town of La Geria , which is known for its vineyards and cultivation methods that were designed specifically for volcanic soil.

• Highlights : Route of the Volcanoes, Los Hervideros, El Golfo, Charco de Los Clicos, La Geria
• Duration : 7 hours
• Price from : €40
• Departs from : Costa Teguise, Arrecife, or Puerto del Carmen

2. Guided volcano hike to Timanfaya

If you’re fond of hiking, this guided hike is the perfect Timanfaya excursion for you. During the trek, you’ll go to the Parque Natural de Los Volcanes , a protected area bordering Timanfaya National Park. This three-hour tour will take you past craters, between calderas, and through the remains of amazing lava tunnels.

This Lanzarote volcano tour begins with pick-up service from different points on the island. If you choose the option without pick-up, you’ll have to get to the meeting point ( Finca Testeina car park) on your own.

During this Lanzarote volcano walk , you’ll hike 4.5 miles and be able to appreciate the volcanic landscapes that the island is known for. Timanfaya National Park boasts a stunning display of colors, including shades of black, brown, gray, and ochre. Don’t forget your camera!

One of the best Timanfaya tours is this excursion , which includes admission to Timanfaya National Park and a visit to the Cueva de los Verdes and the Jameos del Agua .

This Lanzarote volcano trip includes hotel pick-up and bus transportation to Timanfaya National Park. There, you’ll do the Route of the Volcanoes and witness the incredible landscapes of the Fire Mountains (Montañas del Fuego). The tour also includes a stop at the Visitor Center, where you’ll watch geothermal demonstrations showing you the effects of the volcanic eruptions from hundreds of years ago.

Your Timanfaya National Park tour continues with a visit to the Cueva de los Verdes , one of the most famous attractions on Lanzarote. This natural cave formed after the land was upturned during an eruption, and it’s one of my favorite places on the island because it’s so unique.

The last stop is the Jameos del Agua , another area that was shaped by volcanic lava and debris. Keep your eyes peeled for tiny white crabs, an endemic species in Lanzarote. Also, this site is home to a series of gardens designed by César Manrique , the most pivotal artist from the Canary Islands.

• Highlights : Route of the Volcanoes, Cueva de los Verdes, Jameos del Agua
• Duration : 9 hours

4. Timanfaya & Jameos del Agua trip with wine tasting

Another great volcano tour in Lanzarote is this full-day excursion that takes you to several popular attractions and a wine tasting.

This Timanfaya tour begins with a stop in Yaiza , a picturesque town overlooking the mountains and its volcanoes. While you’re here, don’t miss the opportunity to try a traditional Lanzarote drink of coffee with milk.

Afterward, immerse yourself in the landscape of Lanzarote’s west coast. This excursion to Timanfaya includes stops at Los Hervideros, Charco de Los Clicos, and El Golfo. The landscapes of each of these places are spectacular, and your tour guide will tell you all about the volcanic formations. Once in Timanfaya National Park, take the Route of the Volcanoes bus ride before ending up at the Visitor Center, where you’ll see some interesting demonstrations.

The day trip continues with a visit to Mancha Blanca , another charming Lanzarote town that’s known for its Canarian architecture, specifically its church. Then, continue through the wine region of La Geria , where you’ll learn about the local methods used to cultivate wine in the volcanic soil. Of course, you’ll get to taste some of the best wines in the area.

The last leg of this Lanzarote volcano tour ends with amazing views of the Valley of 1,000 Palms , one of the highest viewpoints on the island. You’ll also see one of the most beautiful spots in Lanzarote, the Jameos del Agua , an underground tunnel formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.

5. Timanfaya volcano tour from Fuerteventura

If you’re visiting Fuerteventura, I recommend taking this one-day tour to explore Lanzarote and discover its volcanic landscape. This excursion to Timanfaya includes a wine tasting in the wine region of La Geria, as well as a stop at Charcos de Los Clicos.

After getting picked up from your hotel, you’ll travel to the Port of Corralejo. From there, board the express ferry to Playa Blanca , a town on the coast of Lanzarote and the starting point for this Lanzarote volcano bus tour .

The first site you’ll visit is Timanfaya National Park, home to a unique volcanic environment and lots of geothermal activity. Your Lanzarote volcano tour continues to La Geria , where you’ll learn about the island’s extraordinary wine production process. Also, you can sample some delicious local wines while admiring the ash-covered vineyards.

Next, check out the southern coast of Lanzarote and see the Charco de Los Clicos and its dreamy cliffs. Finally, you’ll take the ferry from Playa Blanca back to the island of Fuerteventura.

• Highlights : Timanfaya National Park, La Geria, Charco de Los Clicos
• Departs from : Fuerteventura (Corralejo, Castillo/Caleta de Fuste)
• Description : The tour includes admission to Timanfaya National Park and a wine tasting. Enjoy pick-up service and a round-trip ferry from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote.

6. Camel ride, one of the most popular Timanfaya tours

Although this particular excursion in Timanfaya is very popular, I don’t recommend it. Personally, I think you can enjoy all that Timanfaya National Park has to offer without doing this type of tour.

We visited the park and took the Timanfaya tour by bus, along the Route of the Volcanoes. This allowed us to go further into the park and see a wider variety of incredible landscapes. Best of all, we didn’t have to disturb any animals.

If you still want to do this Timanfaya camel tour, this camel ride follows an authorized footpath where you can appreciate Lanzarote’s volcanic environment. The tour has a pick-up service that can collect you from your hotel and transport you to the Echadero de Camellos . The camel ride itself lasts 25 minutes.

Also, this tour ends with a stop at a small museum in Timanfaya, where you’ll learn about the camels and how they’re able to withstand the high desert temperatures.

• Highlights : Timanfaya National Park
• Duration : 30 minutes
• Price from : €23
• Departs from : Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise, and Arrecife
• Description : This tour includes hotel pick-up and drop-off along with a 25-minute camel ride.

That’s it for these Lanzarote volcano tours ! I hope this guide helps you decide which tour to take, but if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a comment below. I’ll be happy to help you out. Until then, enjoy your tour through Timanfaya National Park!
