About this tour

Spend nine hours exploring Lanzarote's volcanic landscapes and underground wonders on this two-centre tour. You'll skip the queues at Timanfaya National Park and Cueva de los Verdes, moving between dramatic lava fields, the emerald waters of Laguna Verde, the 10,000-palm Valley, and the wine region of Gería. Knowledgeable guides walk you through each landmark's connection to artist César Manrique's vision whilst revealing the island's geological and cultural story.

What to expect

Your guide will navigate you through two major attractions in a single morning and afternoon. Timanfaya immerses you in otherworldly volcanic rock formations—the park's roads wind through rust-coloured valleys sculpted by eruptions. Cueva de los Verdes shifts the experience underground: you'll walk through cavernous passages formed by ancient lava tubes, some opening onto hidden pools. Between these, you'll stop at smaller, quieter spots—the vivid crater lake and the palm-studded valley offer breathing room. The Gería detour gives a taste of how locals farm and press grapes on black lava soil. Expect plenty of walking at a moderate pace across uneven terrain.

Good to know

Bring sun protection and sturdy shoes for volcanic rock. Most sites offer little shade. Camel rides at Timanfaya (€11) and entry to Jameos del Agua (€16) are optional add-ons. Infants travel free on laps. The itinerary suits all fitness levels, though some sections involve climbing.
