What to expect

The volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote take the spotlight on this half-day tour of Timanfaya Natural Park, recognised as a core part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that covers all of Lanzarote. Luis, our expert local guide, says “did you know Lanzarote has over 300 volcanoes? This tour is a great way to explore some of them, including Timanfaya National Park, which is so unique that NASA has used it for Mars simulations.” Plus, if you've rented a car, this excursion is a perfect addition to your Lanzarote adventure, making it easy to fit into your itinerary for those on a tighter schedule.

From the meeting point, you'll hop onto the bus and head towards the iconic Fire Mountains, formed hundreds of years ago by a series of volcanic eruptions. These eruptions left the park with an otherworldly appearance, forming over 100 volcanic cones and covering the area in volcanic ash – you'll see this in the black, red and orange hues of the park's terrain. While Lanzarote is known for its volcanoes, Timanfaya is the only one on the island still considered active, even though its last eruption was in 1824. This is because of the geothermal activity below the surface, where temperatures can reach up to 600°C. During your visit, your guide will show you just how intense this heat is with a few geothermal demonstrations – you might see how an artificial geyser is created, or watch kindling burst into flames spontaneously.

There'll be time for a quick visit to the Aloe Vera Museum in Yaiza, too, where you'll learn about the benefits of Lanzarote's high-quality aloe vera products. Despite not being native to the island, this well-known plant thrives in the warm climate and volcanic, mineral-rich soil here.

Nat Geo Day Tour: La Geria, Vineyards that Sprouted from Fire
Excursions & day trips

Nat Geo Day Tour: La Geria, Vineyards that Sprouted from Fire

When Timanfaya's six long years of eruptions ceased in 1736, the farmers of La Geria believed their fertile lands were lost forever under a thick layer of ash. But the local families needed to make the land productive again, and through sheer hard work and determination, they succeeded in creating the vineyards of La Geria. You'll start off with a scenic walk, following trails through private vineyards belonging to the family-owned bodega of Nacho Romero, opened exclusively for National Geographic travellers. As you soak up the unique character of these landscapes where vineyards are surrounded by volcanoes, the owner will explain how the layer of volcanic ash, known locally as ‘picón,' has shaped their cultivation methods, which are unique in the world. If you are lucky enough to find them ripe, you might even get to pick grapes straight from the vine as you hear Nacho or his wife Luisa, both winemakers, talk about the characteristics of volcanic wine. Back at the bodega after the walk, you'll be able to sample one of the artisanal wines that Nacho and Luisa make in their home winery. Next, you'll head to Bodega La Geria – another important component of the ecological wine making movement. The winemaker himself will show you around the bodega. Find out the secrets of the hollows, called ‘zocos' which shelter the vines from the wind, and discover the different varieties of grapes that thrive in Lanzarote's volcanic terroir. To finish, savour a tasting of one of the estate's renowned wines with local cheese and crackers.
