LANZAROTE (A few small brushstrokes on the island)

Lanzarote is an island of multicolored volcanic lands that has managed to link unique landscapes in the world with a minimalist intervention of man in its landscape. On Lanzarote you breathe peace and enjoy a very special silence. Sighting its beautiful corners seduces you and invites you to disconnect in order to recharge you of energy during your stay in this mini paradise.

Its peculiar landscapes form an ecosystem recognized internationally as a heritage of the BIOSPHERE by UNESCO and have made Lanzarote a world-known destination. An ideal environment where to relax and get lost for its volcanoes, jameos (caves) or virgin volcanic beaches.

If you are an athlete, this is your island. Given the long, sunny days that Lanzarote enjoys throughout the year, athletes from all over Europe choose this island as the ideal destination for cycling, jogging, running, swimming, sailing and all kinds of water sports.

Day trips and excursions in Lanzarote

Enjoy the best Lanzarote excursions in Lanzarote. Check complete information of each tour with pictures, reviews, maps and details of the route. Book with the best price guaranteed and enjoy some of the most beautiful moments with our day trips.

Lanzarote is like a large theme park full of attractions that are worth visiting through the different organized excursions that we propose. In our tours, you will find the main places to see and visit in Lanzarote so that you make the most of your stay on the island.

For your convenience, all of the tours have pick-up points in the tourist centres of Costa Teguise , Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca , in addition to a pick-up point in the capital, Arrecife .

We have divided the excursions into three main categories: bus tours, boat trips and jeep excursions.

You can do the tours with children , alone, with your partner or with a group of friends.

The bus excursions are the most popular for comfortably getting to know the island’s most emblematic places. The tours take place in modern buses driven by expert drivers. The guides who accompany you are official guides who will illustrate the history, culture and stories of the landmarks throughout the trip.

The variety offered by these tours allows you to visit the most impressive places on the island in just a few days. Because most of our routes combine the different landmarks, we can divide the itineraries into three groups:

In the volcano tours ,we will visit Timanfaya National Park , the island’s great attraction and most-visited place. Most of Lanzarote’s volcanoes are concentrated here. On these tours, you can camel ride , go on a tour along the volcano road and see for yourself, through different experiments, why this park is also known as the Fire Mountains.

In the cave excursions , we will visit two magical places on the island, two volcanic tubes created by the Corona Volcano where art and nature have been combined: Los Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes.

You can also visit other works of Cesar Manrique in this unique island of the Canary Islands: the Jardín de cactus ( Cactus Garden ), el monumento al campesino (Monument to the Farmer), el Mirador del Río ( River Lookout), Lagomar, the house where Manrique lived (which is now the headquarters for the Cesar Manrique Foundation ).

On our bus tours through Lanzarote we will also see places as outstanding as the Green Lagoon, the Salinas de Janubio, Teguise, the Hervideros or La Geria.

Day trips from Lanzarote

We also offer the possibility of doing a day trip from Lanzarote to Fuerteventura in order to explore the most important places to the north of the island.

On the boat trips , you can choose the option that suits you best in terms of the environment, route, type of boat, schedule and location of departure. You can do boat trips to Papagayo Beach , a La Graciosa tour from Lanzarote , or a Lobos island tour to enjoy a spectacular sunset, see dolphins or do an aquatic activity like kayaking or snorkelling.

The Jeep safaris are ideal for getting to know the island and enjoying an adventure at the same time. On these Jeep routes, you can visit places that are difficult for other vehicles to access, such as those on dirt roads or that are very narrow and/or winding. Visiting Playa de Famara, Playa de Papagayo, or Santa Sport or walking inside a volcano can only be done on these Jeep tours.

In short, Lanzarote has many sites to discover and visit, impressive places that we make available to you with our different excursions so that you can enjoy them with the greatest guarantees, comfort and safety.

We only hope that upon finishing any of our tours, you return to your accommodations with the satisfaction of having enjoyed one of the best days of your stay in Lanzarote, full of unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

Lanzarote, an island to be discovered

Lanzarote is an island where its volcanic, black and red landscape, will make you feel in a different world. You will find a land of silence and tranquility, an island where you feel at home by the treatment of its hospitable people who have known how to respect the landscape and learn to survive in a place where water is scarce. Lanzarote enjoys mysterious landscapes and a recognized ecosystem of great value. It is an ideal environment to relax and get lost in its volcanoes, caves or virgin beaches. If you pause, you will breathe in the peace of the island and you will feel as far away as if you were visiting the moon.

Timanfaya National Park: A lunar landscapee

Timanfaya is another world, with a Martian landscape resulting from the eruptions that took place between 1730 and 1736, and again in 1824, where the scarce vegetation, the variety of lava, and their original colors create one of the most impressive landscapes all over the Canary Islands.

Parque Nacional de Timanfaya

Jameos del Agua. A place to fall in love with

Jameos del Agua is a unique space in the world designed by César Manrique and Jesús Soto. Feel the harmony, beauty, peace and tranquility of this volcanic tunnel.

Jameos del Agua

Cueva de los Verdes: A Cave with a secret

There are few places like Cueva de los Verdes. Its beauty and uniqueness confirm it as one of the most amazing wonders hidden in Lanzarote.

Cueva de los verdes

Mirador del Río: Spectacular views

It is located on top of the imposing Famara Cliff, near an military battery of the nineteenth century. You can enjoy the views over La Graciosa and the small islands.

Jardín de Cactus: A garden in an old quarry

The Cactus Garden, easily recognizable from the road thanks to the large metallic cactus at its entrance, is the last work carried out by César Manrique.

The green Lagoon and El Golfo volcano: A crater by the sea

Charco de los Clicos or the green lagoon is located in El Golfo, a volcano open to the sea on the west coast of Lanzarote, where the erosion of the wind and the Atlantic Ocean have shaped it into a silhouette of a Roman theater

César Manrique Foundation: Symbiosis of nature and art

The Foundation is located in the house where César Manrique lived until 1988. It is perhaps the work that best represents his personal and artistic ideals.

• CFNB 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Turned away even with a ticket - don't bother Be prepared to drive all the way here (a long drive if you're staying in the south west if the island) only to be turned away and told to come back another day, with no refund on your ticket. They don't offer timed slots (is it really that difficult to do that?) so youve no way of knowing if the sole small car park will be full. It's a ploy to force you to go with the tour bus excursions (who are never turned away). Don't bother unless you've time to waste. Read more Written 9 April 2024
• triciasL7457IP 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Amazing sights The tour is fascinating. We went on a coach visiting Timanfaya National Park - complete with geysers and very hot stones. Also we visited a green lake on the coast with fantastic scenery. Passed through Teguise but did not get out of the coach. Had lunch at a restaurant on a fixed price deal but the food was disappointing and I'd advise you to take a packed lunch. It was expensive but worth the visit but go on an organised coach trip and private cars are stuck in long traffic queues. Read more Written 4 April 2024
• JoLow 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Very informative and great tour We thoroughly enjoyed this short tour of Southern Lanzarote. Our guide Paul's knowledge of his native island was exceptional and he was also very amusing. The visit to Timanfaya was excellent and the scenery spectacular. Huge thanks to our driver who navigated his way around the very narrow roads amongst the lava fields with great care. We look forward to booking another trip when we return in November to learn more about this beautiful island. Read more Written 29 March 2024
• dorothyb916 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Complaints ignored with no response. I was holidaying in Lanzarote(Puerto de Carmen) last month and wish to draw your attention to a problem our party of 5 had on one of First Travel excursions. We booked one of the tours(The Grand Tour) on Tuesday 20/02/2024 for 5 people on the main strip in Puerto de Carmen. Pick up point was La Isla Ye El Mar Boutique at around 9.40am The bus arrived around 30 minutes late around 10.10 and we proceeded to pay by card we tried 4 cards debit and credit cards which were not accepted by the machine all these cards had been tried on the holiday several times without any problems. The balance to pay was 260 euros for the party. Because of this we were told that we would pay later. On checking with at least 7 or 8 couples on the bus the same problem had occurred with them thus creating a late bus most couples were forced to pay cash.It was obvious at this point there was a problem with the the card reader of the guide. We continued just out of town the bus stopped and the guide asked myself and one other into an office and another card reader was produced by presumably another guide similar to the one used by the guide. The same thing happened again and both myself and the other gentleman were directed to An ATM outside the building to withdraw the relevant cash. After this the bus proceeded now around probably 45minutes behind schedule. The cost of the ATM to me resulted in a rate of 1.01 euros to the pound. The debit card rate through my card would have been 1.165 euros to the £ this incurred a loss to me around £34.00 When the bus stopped for lunch we were informed that the time would be cut to 40/45 minutes obviously due to earlier problems. We were also informed on arrival that lunch was a set price of 12 euros or nothing This had not been informed by the selling agent who said we could buy to suit without the full buffet . We walked to cafe on the edge of the car park and service was slow food had to be gulped down We did not want the buffet due to dietary requirements of the group. I note this was a problem of the selling agent and not First travel . The next day we went into another selling agent near the port to book another trip we informed him of our troubles he phoned first travel direct giving my mobile number to resolve the problem. No call back was received. We again went to same agent several days again he phoned First Travel to call me back. Again I received no call back. I may add that the lady guide was excellent and the trip was generally good however I have asked for some compensation due to the above. In addition to the above calls I have also emailed first minute travel 3 times without a reply which is not a good advert for the island or First travel excursions.

• rosiem17 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Book this one! Fantastic tour. Paul, the local guide was really knowledgeable about everything to do with Lanzarote. The Cesar Manrique tour was amazing- loved every stop. This was a much better tour than one we did earlier with LCT tours. The cactus garden and the view from Mirador del Rio are amazing Read more Written 16 March 2024
• Warbyr 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles No show. Booked Grand Tour with Excursions Lanzarote (Travelon World) for today, 9th March. This date was on the confirmation booking and e-ticket. Was at the pickup point 1/2 hour early, but the coach never arrived. Got in touch with the Tour operator (First Minute) who informed us that Excursions Lanzarote had booked 9th May. Tried to call Travelon World (website says 7 days a week - actually only Monday to Friday). Tried the chat (painfully slow). Absolute rubbish customer service. Book with them at your peril.

• brianpX8008EI 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Tour Great, shame about bus operations…… Firstly the tour itself was brilliant, think it was Roland who was our guide and very good he was too, and the driver was second to none considering the roads round the volcano. My only complaint was this, firstly as we were in playa blanca we waited at the designated bus stop for 30 minutes, we were 10 mins early. Was told the bus was late due to pick up from port as ferry was late. Considering we stayed not five minutes from the port we could see the comings and goings of ferries as they arrive and the ferry was there. Secondly travelled to a bus terminal telling us we were to go on different coach for our tour, because of guests from other parts of the island. Then we were only let on the coach due to the areas that were to be dropped off first, so as being in Playa Blanca we ended up at the back of the coach. Now what makes it even worse when we travelled back to resort, we ended up changing to a smaller one after we pulled in to Playa del Carmen. Playa Blanca guests got the rough end of the stick that day. Would recommend to tour operator that people from their respective area, being Playa Blanca or Playa del Carmen etc have their own coach if it’s for the day tour. Too much messing around in my opinion that day. Would I recommend Tour yes, coach operation a no. Read more Written 6 March 2024
• Anna7789 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles A brilliant day out We really enjoyed our tour and had a great day out exploring the sights of Lanzarote, the highlight of the day being the lunar drive through the volcanoes!! An absolutely amazing experience!! Our guide was very knowledgable and very strict with time keeping which ensured that we made the best use of our time and didn’t miss anything. We would have liked a bit longer at the green lake though, as we’d have liked to go down onto the black sand beach. The wine tasting was fun and a welcome rest stop on the way up North, if a bit rushed! We took our own lunch and enjoyed sitting out the sunny terrace, but my daughter did do the camel ride and really enjoyed it. We found the first part of the day where everyone was picked up overly long, although we were prepared for it and had been told what to expect upon booking. It just got really tedious. For us the bus felt too crowded and squashed at full occupancy, but it was worth a bit of discomfort to see so much in one day! Read more Written 28 February 2024

• Cathy W 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Island view Great way to see the 'hot spots' across the island! Took the opportunity to sit back and relax and enjoy the view. Roland provided ample information about the history of the island and the areas we visited. Buffet food was an extra 12 euro, but good choices were available and tasty enough as buffets go. I was a little disappointed in the wine tasting element of the tour as it was little more than a mouthful and no discussion on what it was or where it was from. All in all, it was a good way to see the island and well done to our driver who took us around some very hairy bends! Read more Written 7 February 2024
• H4603PNerino 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Awful scam !! Do NOT book this service as an airport transfer! First, they changed the time that the vehicle would pick us up from our accommodation and take us to the airport from 5am to 8am- which would be after our flight, three days before! They then confirmed a transfer for 5am, but by 6.30 it did not arrive and we had to pay £50 for a taxi - cheaper than the service (despite one of its advertising claims that it is cheaper than a taxi service)! We had prepaid £120 in cash. Despite my numerous emails in the 7 months since the scam occurred, I have had NO communication and no reimbursement. Beware as the company is clearly a scam which pockets money unethically! Read more Written 4 February 2024

• Louisasmithx 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Left stranded in the Volcano We be booked the half day trip to Timanfaya Volcano. They were late to pick us up and we spent just under 2 hours picking everyone up. We stopped off in a place called Yaiza where we had to get off the bus and wait for the final people for about half an hour. There was then a stop where you could ride camels (extra cost) and a little free museum. When we finally got to the Volcano the views were amazing cant fault that. Then a man put burning hot rocks in your hand and someone put a fire in a hole nothing amazing. We were allowed 10 minutes at the volcano and then back on the bus. We then did the scenic drive that only excursion buses can go down (no cars, no walking etc). They played a cd of star wars music as we went through these hills and craters. The drive lasted 30 minutes and we were just coming to the end when a tui bus had broken down in front of us. As the road is very narrow there is no way around the tui bus so we were told to all wait on the coach. Eventually they allowed us off the coach and asked us to walk up these cliff edges ‘to safety’. Luckily we were by the visitor centre and walked about 15 mins to there, this wasn’t an issue for us however there were many old people and people with babies and it was a steep walk. When we got to the top we were all asking our tour host what was going on and all she kept saying is we will have to wait for a tow truck. The lady was useless, she had forgotten her phone so had no way to contact anyone to explain the situation. Everyone on the tui bus were put on another bus and continued with their day trip, it was us who were left to suffer. There was zero communication and the woman was clueless giving us no updates. There was empty busses sat there with no one on that we asked if there was anyway we could get on one to get some us back to the hotel. 3 hours passed and the lady still couldn’t tell us if they had even called a tow truck yet. Luckily there was a lady who managed to get hold of a taxi for us, it cost us €60 euros. I dread to think how long the other people were stranded at the Volcano for and we were lucky we managed to get a taxi. Not a reliable business at all and were willing to leave all of us stranded for hours with no help or updates and all seemed so unbothered by the situation. Woest 200€ we’ve spent and will not be going with this company again. Read more Written 3 February 2024
• Louise B 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles NIGHTMARE COACHTRIP :- to Timanfaya National Park Lanzarote We went on this short coach trip which was going well until the coach in front broke down. As the track is very narrow our coach was unable to pass and we had to walk back to the visitor centre which was not a problem for us however for some it was a challenge . The operator of the broken down bus managed to quickly arrange a replacement for their group, unfortunately First Minute Travel refused to do this so we were forced to wait over 3 hours eventually arranging our own taxi to take us back to our hotel. The representative was no help and we had to find out our own information.. we strongly advise that you do not use this company for your tours . Read more Written 30 January 2024
