Itinerary
In Timanfaya National Park, we will appreciate with three demonstrations the high temperatures that are still recorded at shallow depth due to the geothermal anomalies of the area. You can see how the heat of the earth is used for cooking and enjoy free time to have a coffee or enjoy the views from the windows of El Diablo Restaurant, designed by César Manrique.
We will make the Route of the Volcanoes, a panoramic tour of the most protected area of the national park. This place can only be visited by minibus or bus, cars are not allowed. It is not allowed to get off the vehicle but we will make stops to take photos from inside the vehicle. This panoramic tour lasts about 30 minutes.
Castor of Camels. Stop for 30 minutes to give the opportunity to perform the typical camel ride. The camel ride is optional and the payment is direct.
The puddle of the Clicos, also called Lago Verde, is a lagoon of green-turquoise waters formed by filtration of the sea, which is located in El Golfo, a hydro-magmatic volcano that has been eroded by the sea giving it the shape of a Roman theater . Near the volcano there is a small town of marine origin where time stands still. Without a doubt, the best place on the island to enjoy the sunsets.
Panoramic tour along the Timanfaya coast, appreciating the Salinas and the Janubio beach.
Stop in the wine area where the guide will explain why the vines are planted in holes. You can taste Malvasía wine.
Los Hervideros are located on the coast of Timanfaya National Park, they are cliffs where the sea collides strongly creating a visual spectacle of great beauty. You can take a walk, take pictures or simply enjoy the cooing of the sea. The duration of the visit is about 20 minutes.

This was an amazing trip. Have never seen anything like it.well worth a visit.
Timafaya evening trip £110 each definitely not worth the money and the food in the restaurant was not very good well that’s my opinion, but looking round there was a lot of food left
Hello, please check the company you booked the excursion with. It wasn´t definitely us, we are Lanzarote Experience Tour, and we do not offer any excursions on Thursdays or any evening trips. I kindly ask you , please, to remove your comment from our file and put it on the correct company. Thank you very much.
This is true history and culture. Special scenery and interesting facts. We drove here following a well signed route. You cant access any further up unless you pay at the gate. The ticket give you access up to the top where you are guided where to park, a ride on a coach around the volcano and then to see areas around too (without giving too much away!) We ate in the restaurant (theres a cafe on site too) and the food was really tasty! a bit on the pricey side but really enjoyed the ambiance and views. The coach is a hairy experience! but these drivers are so used to it. Theres a voice over in Spanish, English and German explaining the sites and giving information.
We booked this tour on a cruise ship and it was one of the best tours we ever had, especially camel ride! Enjoyed it very much and highly recommend!!!
A wonderful experience. Our guide, Nick, provided us with a great adventure. He is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful. He gave us important safety advice along the way, which is very useful in this volcanic area. He has a deep interest in Lanzarote and its volcanoes which he shared with us. Bus was very comfortable. Driver was superb.
Great trip.Picked up promptly.The guide was very good and spoke several languages.Only downside he dropped us at a cafe on the way and said it was the only toilet stop of the day.We stopped and the owner was charging €1 each to use the toilet ,very disappointing.On the way back he dropped us there again but you could wee for free if you bought food or drink😡😡Camel rides were good,felt a bit sorry for them in the heat but supposed they’re used to it!The demonstrations at the top of the volcano were very interesting.A bit scary driving on the top roads as they were very narrow and steep.We booked with an independent company as it was €30 cheaper than with TUI .All in all a good day out .
Great trip, well organised and fantastic views. Early morning start for a good reason.. to avoid the queues. Tour guide was so informative and lovely. Camel ride is a must!
Great experience in Lanzarote. Highly recommended. Our guide was very good but we could hardly understood his accent still very helpful and friendly as well
We did the Timanfaya Volcano and Montanas del Fuego excursion today. It was incredible! Yu was a fabulous guide; she did such a great job explaining everything and keeping up with all of us. She was super enthusiastic about all the sites we visited. The national park is beautiful and other-worldly. We learned so much! Highly recommend this tour!
Absolutely amazing trip with clever, active, friendly guide. We saw all the turistic points in a short time, with small kids. Thank you :)
