Snorkel and kayak in a marine reserve without arranging the boat or the meal

Step-by-step itinerary

La Graciosa Island catamaran tour

• Visit main village of La Graciosa
• Sail along the coast on catamaran
• Free time at Playa Francesa with lunch

The Experience

Five hours total, split between ferry crossings and time on the catamaran Juanita Cat. You start with an 11:00am ferry from Órzola on Lanzarote's north coast to Caleta de Sebo, the main village on La Graciosa. Once there, you have time to walk the sandy streets, visit the church or sit in one of the small bars before boarding the catamaran for the afternoon sail.

The catamaran runs along the coast of the marine reserve, and you stop at Playa Francesa for the main part of the day. Here you can stay on deck or get in the water—snorkeling equipment is provided, and a kayak is available if you want to paddle out. Lunch is served on board and includes vegan or vegetarian options if you've requested them ahead of time. After eating, you have more time to swim and snorkel until the boat heads back to Órzola at 4:00pm for the return ferry to Lanzarote.

Return bus transfer from your resort on Lanzarote is included, so you don't arrange your own way to the port. The guide speaks English, Spanish and French throughout the day. The itinerary can shift if weather turns bad; if the trip is canceled, you can rebook for another date or switch to a different excursion.

Top questions

What is La Graciosa like when we get there?

La Graciosa is a small island with a main village, Caleta de Sebo, where sandy streets connect a few bars, shops and a church. Most of your time is spent on the catamaran and in the water at Playa Francesa, but you have time to walk around the village before boarding.

Is snorkeling equipment included, or do I need to bring my own?

Snorkeling equipment is included and provided on board; you just need to bring a swimsuit. A deposit is required for the gear, which you'll get back at the end of the day.

Can I kayak, or is it just snorkeling?

Both are available. A kayak is included, so you can paddle out if you want, or you can snorkel, swim or relax on deck—you choose how to spend your time at Playa Francesa.

What time does the boat leave and return?

The ferry from Órzola leaves at 11:00am and returns at 4:00pm. The ferry crossing takes 30 minutes each way, and you spend the middle of the day on the catamaran and in the water.

Is lunch included, and can you do vegetarian meals?

Lunch is included and served on board. Vegan and vegetarian options are available if you let the operator know when you book.

Do I need to arrange my own transport to the port?

Return bus transfer from your resort on Lanzarote is included, so pickup and drop-off are handled. If you book within 24 hours of departure, pickup is not guaranteed and you should go directly to the meeting point in Órzola.
