It is a must-do on the island! We are very happy to have had a French-speaking guide!
Great trip. Well worth taking and something you’re unlikely to experience anywhere else. A half day well spent
An exceptional and must-see site in Lanzarote! 🌋 Breathtaking volcanic landscapes, a very well-organized visit, and a unique experience. It is a feast for the eyes from start to finish. Not to be missed!
Really very expensive for a bus tour!! It is long and even if the site is worth seeing the price is excessive
A great experience in the park, with 2-3 stops. Cafes along the way and a great guide. Pick up and drop off from Yaiza is easy and quick!!
We are extremely disappointed with this excursion, mainly due to the behavior of the guide, Julia, who clearly ruined our experience from start to finish. To begin with, the meeting point communicated via SMS was not the correct one. We had been at the indicated location for about ten minutes when Julia called us. Instead of trying to understand the situation, she immediately spoke to us in an aggressive tone, blaming us for being "very late." In reality, it was the bus that was not at the location that had been communicated to us. A minimum of courtesy, listening, and professionalism would have been appreciated. A few minutes later, we inadvertently swapped our seats on the bus. A mistake without any consequences, which could have been resolved in a few seconds with a simple smile. Instead, we were reprimanded in a harsh and unkind manner. The most regrettable part is that Julia remained cold, unpleasant, and clearly annoyed with us for the rest of the excursion. Her attitude made us very uncomfortable and completely ruined the enjoyment of this outing. When working in tourism, hospitality and kindness should be a priority. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. Regarding the tour, it is very disappointing. The excursion is advertised for a duration of 5 hours, but only about 1 hour is actually spent at the Timanfaya site. The rest of the time is dedicated to transportation. The automated comments broadcasted on the bus are uninteresting and do not provide any real added value. In the end, this excursion essentially amounts to paying for a skip-the-line ticket. Given the price, the value for money is very poor. We leave with the feeling of having paid a lot for a rushed visit, and especially with the memory of a guide whose behavior was inappropriate, unpleasant, and completely out of sync with what one should expect from a tourist service. It is all the more unfortunate that this completely tarnished a visit we were looking forward to. We absolutely do not recommend this excursion.
Nous vous remercions d’avoir partagé votre avis sur notre excursion. Nous apprécions tous les commentaires, car ils nous aident à maintenir la qualité de nos services, même si, dans ce cas précis, nous estimons nécessaire d’apporter quelques précisions. Tout d’abord, comme indiqué clairement et en détail dans la description de l’activité publiée sur notre site Web et sur nos canaux de vente, la durée totale de 5 heures comprend les trajets aller-retour depuis les points de ramassage, ainsi que la durée de chaque arrêt prévu. La visite du parc national de Timanfaya dure environ une heure, comme indiqué dans l’itinéraire. Par conséquent, le déroulement de l’excursion s’est déroulé conformément à ce qui avait été convenu et aux horaires prévus. En ce qui concerne le point de rencontre, nous regrettons toute confusion éventuelle dans la communication du message, mais il est important de souligner que notre équipe assure toujours un suivi des incidents afin de les résoudre rapidement. Dans ce cas précis, la guide vous a contactés pour vous localiser et vous réintégrer au groupe, ce qui a été fait en quelques minutes. En ce qui concerne le comportement de notre guide, nous prenons note de votre perception et nous examinerons en interne ce qui s’est passé.
We took this trip today and loved it! The park itself is protected so you cannot walk around freely but that doesn't matter as you get amazing views from the coach! The geothermal experience was great to watch, it would have been nice to spend a little more time at this part however. The camel ride was great, it is €11 each and you must go in a pair, so for a family of three, one of you will be sharing with a stranger. Again, more time in this part would have been great as there is a museum but we didn't get a chance to go in because we went on the camels. We only had a 40 minute stop and the camels took 30 of that. All in all though it was a fantastic morning out and our daughter loved it!
The tour of Timanfaya National Park, Camel Ride and stop at a Winery was booked as one excursion, there was no extra cost for the camel ride. The volcanic park was incredible, similar to The Big Island National Park in Hawaii. The camel ride was an unique experience and lasted 30-45 minutes along a trail. The stop at a winery in volcanic soil was interesting. The guide was quite good as well. The cost was higher through the ship (more than private operators) but I think we got good value anyways. Lanzerote in the Canary Islands is beautiful to see.
Excellent guide and experienced driver. The Timanfaya site is unique and unforgettable. We recommend without hesitation. Thank you.
Really interesting to see and hear about the volcanoes in Lanzarote. Fun having a ride on a camel. Interesting to see how hot it was in such a small way down in the ground
