Itinerary
In Timanfaya National Park, we will appreciate with three demonstrations the high temperatures that are still recorded shallow due to geothermal anomalies in the area. You can see how the heat of the earth is used for cooking and you will have free time to have a coffee or enjoy the views from the windows of the Restaurant El Diablo, by César Manrique.
We enter the most protected area of the National Park where we will make the Route of Volcanoes, a panoramic tour of the places where the first eruptions originated giving rise to an impressive landscape. No getting off the minibus is allowed, although we will make stops to take photos from inside the vehicle. The duration of this tour is about 30 minutes.
Camels runner. Photo stop
The puddle of the Clicos, also called Lake Verde, is a lagoon of green-turquoise waters formed by filtration of the sea, which is located in the Gulf. A hydro-magmatic volcano that has been eroded by the sea into a Roman theatre. Near the volcano there is a small village of seafaring origin where time stands still. Without a doubt, the best place on the island to enjoy the sunsets.
Panoramic view of the cliffs of Los Hervideros on the coast of Timanfaya.
Photo stop in La Geria, where the cultivation of the vine has adapted to the volcanic environment offering a unique landscape.
Located in the town of Guatiza and surrounded by the largest plantation of tunisera trees on the island, dedicated to the cultivation of cochineal. The garden hosts around 4500 specimens of 450 different species from five continents.
The place that Cesar Manrique knew how to imagine and transform into a unique space in the world. We can also see the small blind crabs, an endemic species of the island.

Amazing Day Trip! Highly recommend! Super well organised and amazing things to see! The Timanfaya visit is incredible, if you like volcanoes then you’ll love it! We did the optional camel ride, so much fun, the camels are really well looked after and trained so well bless them. It was great day!
This tour was a great way to see and learn about Lanzarote. Our guide Angela is a native of Lanzarote and was extremely knowledgeable - answered all of our questions. My favorite part was seeing the camels, but the scenery at all the stops was beautiful.
I went on this trip with wife and our 16 year old son, I'd say we were all a bit disappointed as it wasn't what we were expecting. You spend most of your time on the bus and don't get very long off the bus at the "attractions". I thought it was a bit misleading putting the camels and the valley of the palms as attractions on the trip, you have to pay for the camels and you drive through the valley in about 5 minutes. The drive round the volcanoes was good but for us that was about it. Also we found the trip quite expensive for what we got out of it. Also you have to pay €12 for your lunch when it stops off, in my opinion this should be part of the price. If you don't take lunch you basically wait outside for those who have. Big shout out to Miguel the bus driver, his driving ability was impressive 10/10
Good afternoon. Could you please, provide your booking number and the date of your excursion? because you never came with us, so I understand you has made a mistake and your comment should be to another company. I kindly ask you to amend this mistake. Thank you very much. Angela Tejera
Wonderful tour. With a guide, in German, English and Spanish. Booked at a travel agency near Allsun Albatros. The lady, who sold us the ze trip, was very enthusiastic about the lunch, which you could book for €12. Well, that lunch wasn't much. A big unsociable eating shed. With lukewarm chicken feet and lukewarm paella without fish, only a small piece of dry meat can be found among the paella. Tepid fries, dirty meatballs. Lettuce and white rice. Absolutely not worth €12! Only red wine on the table, for white wine you had to pay extra
In fact 24 hours earlier, they contacted to cancel the tour, and returned my money, I had to get ready to look for another, the next day, and not giving or answering to give another solution, that is regrettable
We did this tour booked through the Hotel ,which is excellent too by the way!! After picking a few others up we went on our way. Couldn’t believe what we would have missed if we hadn’t done, definitely well worth it. Starting with a camel ride. Then onto the natural parks. Golfo amazing, Vineyards were great and so interesting with the way they grow the vines. Goats cheese very nice. Lunch excellent and great value. Finished off at the jameos del agua. Stunning oasis and theatre setting designed by an artist. Driver was as brilliant and the lady Julia was excellent in her wisdom and languages 😊. Brilliant day… do it!!
It has been a great experience, Daniel has been a very good Guide you can see that he very much wants his Island, I recommend this excursion 100 percent, small groups in our case we were only 9 people, we have seen in Timanfaya an endless queue of cars to access and with the minibus we have entered directly without queues... Food on site a local place all very homemade and good price,
Muchísimas gracias por confiar en nosotros. Pasamos su comentario a Daniel que agradecerá de corazón sus palabras. Saludos cordiales.
A real experience thanks to the guide. Dani's been a show on the road. Telling us everything and more than we expected. After the trip and what he has told us what we can do, we regret just being in Lanzarote for one more night and not being able to make the most of it.

LCT Europe Tour provided an excellent day out. Pick up from hotel and 5 stops on the grand Tour. Timanfaya National Park, the Green Lagoon and many others. Smooth driving by our driver through the National Park...a must do via the organised tour as you can skip all the ques as you are part of a group. National Park is mad busy only way to bevseen is by and organised tour. As the ques in hired cars is 2 hrs long. Beautiful tour overall. Fabulous landscape. Very nice lunch halfway through the day. Our guide and driver were top notch. Highly recommended tour via the above company.
Had no tour basically. After leaving me without confirmation for several days, the operator just cancelled my booking without any explanation.
