The Experience

The tour starts with the otherworldly lunar landscapes of Timanfaya National Park, where the volcanic terrain dominates the southern half of the island. From there you move to El Golfo to see the charco de los clicos and the salt ponds at Salinas de Janubio, a stretch that involves about a kilometer of walking over thirty minutes. The guide narrates the geology and history as the day unfolds, and you stop for lunch with typical island food before heading north.

La Geria's winery sits in the island's wine region, where you taste Malvasia and learn how the volcanic soil shapes the grapes. Jameos del Agua comes next—a series of caves formed by lava tubes, with an underground concert space carved into the rock. The final stretch drives through Maguez and the malpais (badlands) to show the greener, lusher side of Lanzarote that contrasts with the volcanic south.

Transport, park entries, the wine tasting and lunch are all included; you bring suitable walking shoes and a light jacket. The tour runs eight hours total. If you're traveling with children, bring their accreditations—Timanfaya and Jameos del Agua may ask for proof of age at the gate. The guide is live and speaks your language; pickup happens from your hotel depending on which option you choose at checkout.

Top questions

What is Jameos del Agua and what will I see there?

Jameos del Agua is a series of caves formed by lava tubes running beneath the island. You walk through the underground chambers, which include a concert space carved directly into the rock—a venue that hosts performances inside the cavern itself.

How much walking is involved in this tour?

The main walking stretch is at Salinas de Janubio, which covers roughly one kilometer and takes about thirty minutes. If walking is difficult for you, you can wait at the bar area there and still photograph the salt ponds and landscape. The rest of the tour involves shorter walks at each stop.

What wine will I taste and where?

You taste Malvasia at a bodega in La Geria, the island's wine region. The volcanic soil there produces distinctive wines, and the tasting is part of the included experience.

Does the tour pick me up from my hotel?

Pickup is included in the tour; the exact arrangement depends on which language option you choose at checkout, as some departures run only from specific areas like Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen or Puerto Calero.

What should I bring on this tour?

Bring suitable footwear for walking and a light jacket. If you're traveling with children, bring their accreditations—the parks may ask for proof of age. Sunscreen and water are practical additions for a full day in the Canary Islands sun.

Is this tour suitable if I have mobility concerns?

The tour includes some walking, particularly the one-kilometer stretch at Salinas de Janubio. If walking is difficult, you can wait at the bar area there. Other parts of the tour involve shorter walks and time in the vehicle. The operator notes that some places during the excursion may not be fully accessible, so discuss your specific needs before booking.
