Lanzarote North: Guided Buggy Tour with Small GroupYou’ll ride a buggy through Lanzarote’s wild north with a small group, circling Tinamala Volcano and stopping at an old quarry near Guatiza. Feel the wind in your face (goggles included), hear stories from your local guide, and catch glimpses of village life in Teseguite before looping back to Costa Teguise. It’s quick but leaves its mark.
Lanzarote North Buggy Tour from Costa Teguise: Small Group RouteYou’ll feel Lanzarote under your skin on this small group buggy tour from Costa Teguise—dusty hands, salty air, and glimpses into quiet villages like Guatiza and Mala. With a local guide leading the way and water plus goggles included, it’s three hours of real island texture—and maybe a little laughter when you least expect it.
Lanzarote: 3-Hour Polaris Slingshot Tour with Mountain & Beach RoutesYou drive a Polaris Slingshot through Lanzarote's volcanic interior and mountain passes for three hours, switching drivers at service stops so everyone gets a turn. The guide leads the route through dirt tracks, paved climbs, and coastal views, covering terrain most island tours skip. You handle the vehicle yourself — the guide just shows you the way.Is it for me?Right for drivers comfortable with open-air vehicles and terrain that feels more adventurous than a standard island loop. The three hours are spent mostly driving, not sightseeing from a stop — expect an active, hands-on experience rather than a guided commentary tour.
Lanzarote Catamaran Sunset Tour: Electric boat, dolphins & hydrophoneYou board a silent electric catamaran at Puerto Calero for two-and-a-half hours along Lanzarote's southern coast. The crew shares cetacean knowledge and listens for dolphins via hydrophone while you watch the sunset with OceanBeer and snacks. Small groups of twelve keep the deck uncluttered, and the electric motor means no engine noise — just water and the possibility of whales.Is it for me?Right choice if you want a sunset on the water without engine noise and the chance to hear whales or dolphins through a hydrophone — the electric catamaran and small group size make both possible, though sightings depend on what's in the water that evening.
Scuba Diving Costa Teguise: 40-Minute Beginner DiveYou arrive at the shore, get a safety briefing, and descend to 5 meters with a certified instructor for a 40-minute dive in calm, shallow water. No prior experience needed. Equipment, transport from your hotel, and all fees are included. You surface knowing whether diving is something you want to do again.Is it for me?Right for anyone curious about diving but unsure if they'll like it — the shallow depth and one-on-one instruction mean you learn at your own pace. Plan for a full morning or afternoon out of your schedule; that's what gives the briefing, dive, and return time room to breathe.
Lanzarote: Timanfaya Volcano Trek & Canarian TastingYou walk through Timanfaya's volcanic landscape for three to four hours with a native guide who explains the geology and biodiversity as you go. The route adjusts to your fitness level, and you pause for Canarian wine and snacks along the way. Insurance and small-group format are included; no need to arrange transport or worry about pace.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to understand Lanzarote's volcanic landscape without a car or a rushed pace. Expect three to four hours of steady walking on uneven ground — that's what gives you time to absorb the geology and hear the guide's knowledge.
Famara: Beginner surf lesson with local guide & gearYou’ll join a small group in Famara for a beginner surf lesson with a local guide—wetsuit and board included.

Lanzarote: Cueva de los Verdes & Jameos del Agua Cave TourYou visit two volcanic caves in northern Lanzarote with a guide who knows the geology and the pace.

The whole day takes four to five hours.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in tourist areas who want to see both caves without arranging transport or buying tickets separately. The fixed pace through the cave means you keep up with the group, so it suits people comfortable with a guided rhythm rather than lingering at their own speed.
Lanzarote Scuba Diving: Museo Atlántico Beginner DiveYou learn the basics on land and in a pool, then dive the Museo Atlántico with an instructor guiding you through the sculptures at a beginner-safe depth. Hotel pickup, all equipment, and the boat are included. The whole experience takes three hours, and you walk away having actually dived, not just watched.Is it for me?Right for anyone curious about scuba diving who doesn't want to commit to a full certification course. You're out for three hours total, which means you can fit it into a shorter trip, and you don't need to be an athlete — just moderately fit and willing to try something new underwater.
Lanzarote: Whale & Dolphin Catamaran with HydrophoneYou board a fully electric catamaran at Puerto Calero and spend three to four hours watching for whales and dolphins while listening to their calls through a hydrophone. The boat stays silent—no diesel engine—which keeps the animals close and curious. You get fresh fruit, water, and snacks included, and the group never exceeds twelve people, so you're not crammed in with strangers.Is it for me?Book this if you want to watch whales and dolphins without the diesel engine noise that usually drives them away—the silent catamaran and hydrophone are what make close encounters possible in the first place.
Lanzarote: Family Winery Tour & Wine Tasting with MuseumYou’ll walk Lanzarote’s volcanic vineyards with a local guide, sample family-made wines inside an old cellar-turned-museum, and hear stories that linger longer than any tasting note.

Lanzarote: Beginner Scuba Diving Lesson & Reef ExplorationYou meet your PADI instructor at Playa Chica, complete a shallow-water skills session to get comfortable breathing underwater, then dive the reef around Lanzarote for 30–40 minutes of exploration. All equipment, insurance, and a snack are included; small groups mean you get personal attention the whole time. You'll need to avoid flying for 12 hours after the dive.Is it for me?Book this if you want to know whether scuba is for you without committing to a certification course—you get the real experience, a qualified instructor, and all the gear, but only for one dive instead of three days of training.
Timanfaya & El Golfo day trip with camel ride optionYou’ll walk across warm volcanic ground in Timanfaya, see El Golfo’s surreal green lagoon, taste unique wines in La Geria’s strange vineyards, and maybe even ride a camel if you feel brave (or silly) enough.

Lanzarote Famara: Beginner Surf Lesson with Gear & Local CoachYou’ll suit up in Lanzarote’s Famara beach, meet your local instructor, and learn to read waves and paddle out as a true beginner surfer. Expect laughs on shore and in the water as you try standing up—maybe fall a few times—and leave with sandy hair and that stubborn grin only surfing gives you.
Lanzarote Scuba Diving: Basic Diver 2 DivesYou do two dives in Lanzarote's Atlantic waters: one in shallow confined water to learn the basics, one in open water to experience the real thing. All scuba equipment is provided. If you decide to pursue full certification later, your open water dive counts toward the required training dives.

The small groups and shore entry mean less fuss, more focus.
Private Lanzarote Tour: Jameos del Agua, LagOmar & MoreYou’ll get picked up right at your door and explore Lanzarote your way—see volcanic craters up close, wander art-filled caves like Jameos del Agua, taste local wine in La Geria, and catch those wild Atlantic views at Los Hervideros and Mirador Del Río. This private tour lets you set your own pace with tips from someone who really knows their stuff.
Lanzarote: First Scuba Dive & Underwater Sculpture GardenYou arrive at the dive center, get a full safety briefing and gear check, then descend into the water for your first underwater experience. The dive often takes place at Museo Atlántico, an underwater sculpture garden off Lanzarote's coast. All scuba equipment is included, and the small-group format means personal attention throughout. Plan your flight home for at least a day after the dive.Is it for me?Book this if you want to try scuba without committing to a full certification course, and you're willing to plan your travel so you don't fly within 24 hours of diving — that gap is what makes a safe, proper first dive possible.
