About this tour
This full-day loop covers Lanzarote's volcanic heartland and coastal highlights in a single outing. Depart from Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen, or Playa Blanca and spend the day threading between the island's most striking natural features: the emerald waters of El Golfo, the lunar landscape of Timanfaya National Park, underground caverns at Jameos del Agua, and salt ponds near Teguise. Wine tasting punctuates the journey. Eight to nine hours total, air-conditioned coach, English-speaking guide included.
Highlights
- El Golfo's jade-coloured lagoon framed by black cliffs
- Camel trek across Timanfaya's volcanic terrain (optional, extra cost)
- Walk through Timanfaya's otherworldly lava fields
- Jameos del Agua: subterranean lake and cave galleries
- Local wine tasting at a working bodega
- Salt lagoons and rural monuments around Teguise
What to expect
After pickup, you'll head to El Golfo for views of the mineral-rich lagoon—a stark contrast of emerald against black volcanic rock. Next is Timanfaya's stark, Mars-like interior, where you'll walk amongst ancient lava formations. A wine estate offers tastings before the coach descends into Jameos del Agua, a natural sinkhole housing a subterranean lake and albino crabs. The route loops back via the Janubio salt works and Monumento al Campesino. Expect moderate walking on uneven surfaces; bring water and sun protection. Lunch isn't provided.
