Highlights
  • Timanfaya National Park - Half day bus excursion to take the photos you should not miss on your visit to Lanzarote, of two unique and unrepeatable landscapes: The Timanfaya National Park and the wine area of La Geria.

In Timanfaya we will behold the geothermal demonstrations in the area of the Islet of Hilario, where the latent heat left by the eruptions still feels strongly. Afterwards we will make the famous Volcanoes Route.

We will visit the Echadero de Camellos, where you can take a ride on these animals, true fun for the whole family.

Touring the areas near Timanfaya and its Natural Park, we will visit La Geria, a protected area dedicated to the cultivation of the Malvasia grape and the elaboration of excellent wines. You will discover the inventiveness of our farmers to take advantage of the wasteland left by the tremendous volcanic eruptions of the eighteenth century.

What's Included
  • Optional camel ride (additional cost)
  • Expert guided tour
  • Stop at La Geria with winery visit
What's Not Included
  • Camel ride ticket
Additional Information

Embark on a half-day bus journey to capture must-see images during your trip to Lanzarote, comprising two extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime panoramas: The Timanfaya National Park and the La Geria wine region.

Witness geothermal exhibits in the Hilario Islet zone within Timanfaya, where the remnant heat from past volcanic activities can still be strongly felt. Following this, we will proceed with the renowned Volcanoes Tour.

We’ll make a stop at the Echadero de Camellos, providing an opportunity to experience a camel ride, offering amusement for the entire family.

As we traverse regions adjoining Timanfaya and its Natural Park, we will call at La Geria, a conserved territory devoted to the cultivation of Malvasia grapevines and the production of superior wines. Delve into the ingenious methods employed by our agriculturists to utilize the barren terrain resulting from the intense volcanic eruptions of the 18th century.

Do not miss ! - Incredible, lunar view of volcanoes and lava flows. The visit to the Timanfaya Natural Park is done by bus, our driver had Star Wars music, it was completely appropriate. The feeling of being an ant in all this immensity, truly breathtaking. The Geria vines are interesting to discover.

Great morning. - Michael was amazing! So funny and very informative, the tour was great, we seen the geysers, rode camels (€11 pp extra), seen all of the national park by coach. They then took us to a little winery where we got the opportunity to try a sample of the wine from the region, very fun day!

A great trip for a great price! Definitely worth the money, and we really enjoyed it. - We wanted to book a South Island tour with our tour operator, Jet2, but they never responded to our call!! Now we are glad they didn't! This tour was great. Very informative, the guide was friendly and funny and her English was great. We started at the camel rides, and although my husband and I didn't want a ride, it was an interesting stop. There was a small museum, toilet and gift shop, and we were there for around 20 minutes. Next, we headed to the Timfanaya National Park. Here, we went to the summit where we saw the geothermic experiments and had time to look around the gift shop, get a drink, use the toilets, and take some great photos! After this, our coach driver took us carefully around the national park, and we learned all about the eruptions on Lanzarote. I loved this part and got some more great photos. If you don't like heights, I'd recommend sitting on the left/ drivers side of the bus, as most of the "drops" are on the right!! We had a short stop in a village that was miraculously missed by the lava flow, here we could buy a drink or some lunch. It was a very pretty spot to stop. Then, lastly, it was on to the vineyards at La Geria. Don't be expecting a full wine tasting. You get to taste one, which was delicious. But, this is where the difference in tours lies. As I said at the beginning, we were trying to book the tour through Jet2, but it was twice the price of this tour!!!! Maybe you get a longer wine tasting on the more expensive tours, but we found this to be perfect for us! The time in each stop was long enough to get some great photos, the guide was brilliant and full of knowledge, and we were out for around 5 hours, which I think is great value. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Eyeful - What can we say about this splendid volcanic site? It's beautiful and spectacular A little advice, go there as soon as it opens because afterwards it is possible that there will be a traffic jam of almost 1 km or more to be able to enter the park ( Tourist buses have priority over cars With your car you will not be able to go around the park You have to take a bus near the park shop that takes you

What a brilliant excursion! - Fabulous trip, picked up from hotel and dropped back off around 2pm! Wonderful guide who was very knowledgeable, the scenery on the bus is breathtaking and there are some demonstrations that show how hot it still is under ground! We stopped for a camel ride on the way back, we didn't fancy it so we just visited the gift shop and enjoyed an ice cream in the sun! On the way back, we visited a winery where we tried the most delicious wine liquor with a hint of honey! A great trip that I would definitely recommend for the family (perhaps kids over the age of 10 unless they have great attention spans!)

Excellent tour and experience - Amazing tour, money well spent, a full tour with facts, knowledge and interesting information. Loved the camel trip which is optional. However they are very well looked after and enjoyed treking up and down mountain.

Discovery of an extraordinary landscape. Ground covered with lava, with some tufts of grass in places. - By car, you have to be patient before entering the park because there are many tourists. For the protection of the park, its visit is carried out only by bus, passengers are not allowed to leave the bus. Photos are taken through the glass.

Excellent trip. Well worth the money - Views amazing with courier joining in on any of the demonstrations. He thoroughly explained what would happen and why. The driver was also excellent... a few jokes regarding him from the courier but he certainly made you feel safe... pick up exactly as informed

Great excursion overall! - Great excursion overall! The guide was very instructive and we learned a lot about the island in itself. We could have used a bit more time at the Timanfaya National Park but thought the wine tasting was a great plus.
