There is an other worldly atmosphere to the Island of Lanzarote. The last volcanic eruption may have been in 1736 but the ochre coloured landscape and the subtropical trees and plants that emerged to guard the often rocky coastline, make you feel that there is no place like it on Earth.
The high cliffs with the Atlantic waves thundering onto the rocks and the journey itself, through the Timanfaya National Park , will make you feel that you have left the world behind and landed on a fiercely beautiful, but alien planet. Indeed it may be the colours of Lanzarote that stay with you long after you have left this sub tropical paradise.
This excursion is the ideal way to visit many of the points of interest on the island and you are sure to be left mesmerised by all that the Island has to offer. If you have never experienced Lanzarote before, or even if you have previously enjoyed this tour, it is certainly an interesting day out, not only for the exotic plant and animal life, but for its ever changing dramatic landscape. Besides, the visit to El Golfo volcano offers the tourist an unusual, almost unique experience.
This our comprises of sightseeing, culture, geology, wine tasting, cave visits and much more. So if you have limited time on the Island this is the best way for you to see a snip of all that the Island has to offer.

The tour starts at the entrance to the National park and will take you through a plethora of different landscapes. You will see the Camel Park at Timanfaya and be given the option of a camel ride. This is a short stop, ideal for taking pictures before you set off through the 14 kilometre long route of the volcanoes!
El Golfo Volcano, thought to be the most beautiful of the Canary Island volcanoes will be your next stop. You will be given a demonstration of the earth fire and shown different experiments to make you marvel that the earth can hold such secrets. After a refreshment break at a restaurant overlooking the Green Lake and the volcano itself, and you are ready to take the next step of the tour.
There will be a brief photo stop on the cliff tops, with views of the Salt Pans of Janubio and then on towards to the vineyards of La Geria and its contrasting green landscape. Here you will be able to sample the locally produced wine, its unique taste blended from the rich volcanic soil itself.
Your next stop will be the Monument to Fertility and the Cactus Gardens to see the last work of Cesar Manrique. The Cactus Gardens are home to over 1000 species of cactus, mainly of South American origin, and truly an amazing sight.
Your final stop of the day will take you to the submerged world of the Lanzarote coastline and the cave Jameas del Agua through to the Cueva de los Verdes, where you can marvel at this hidden world and its amazing vibrant green colours, before your itinerary comes to an end and you are returned to your hotel or apartment in Lanzarote.
