Discovering the Wonders of Lanzarote

Our adventure began with a bit of a hiccup, as the hotel pick-up process was a tad disorganized. Some families, including ours, found ourselves on the bus for quite a while before everyone was gathered. However, once we were all together, the excitement in the air was palpable, and we were ready to explore the stunning landscapes of Lanzarote.

Our first stop was Los Hervideros, a dramatic coastal area where the waves crash against the volcanic cliffs, creating a mesmerizing display of nature’s power. The kids were absolutely fascinated by the sight and sound of the ocean’s fury, and it was a perfect opportunity to discuss the island’s volcanic history. We took a leisurely walk along the paths, taking in the breathtaking views and snapping plenty of family photos.

A Journey Through Timanfaya National Park

Next, we headed to Timanfaya National Park, a place that truly feels like stepping onto another planet. The landscape is otherworldly, with its vast lava fields and volcanic craters. Our guide, Yvette, was fantastic, sharing stories and facts that kept both the adults and children engaged. The kids were particularly thrilled by the geothermal demonstrations, where they could see the heat of the earth in action.

We opted for the optional camel ride at the Camel Park, and it was a hit with the kids. Riding a camel through the volcanic landscape was an unforgettable experience, and it added a fun and unique element to our day. The park’s staff were friendly and made sure everyone was comfortable and safe.

Savoring the Flavors of Lanzarote

Our final stop was La Geria, the island’s wine region, where we enjoyed a complimentary wine tasting. While the kids sipped on grape juice, the adults had the chance to sample some of Lanzarote’s unique wines. The vineyards, with their distinctive circular stone walls, were a sight to behold, and it was fascinating to learn about the island’s wine-making techniques.

We also visited the Green Lake, or El Lago Verde, a striking emerald-green lagoon set against the backdrop of black sand and volcanic cliffs. It was a serene and beautiful spot, perfect for a family picnic and some quiet reflection on the day’s adventures.

Overall, despite the initial confusion with the pick-up, the tour was a fantastic way to explore the natural beauty and unique culture of Lanzarote. It was a day filled with learning, laughter, and unforgettable experiences that we will cherish as a family. If you’re planning a trip to Lanzarote, I highly recommend the Lanzarote Adventure Tour for a memorable family outing.
