Lanzarote Timanfaya National Park express tour with transfer
Ready for a mini-adventure that packs a serious punch? Hop on our express tour straight from Playa Blanca to Timanfaya National Park. In just a few hours, you'll be wandering across the Fire Mountains, a volcanic wonderland that feels more like Mars than Earth. Carlos, one of our expert local guides, says “Lanzarote's last volcanic eruption was in 1824, but it looks like it happened yesterday – with lava fields, craters, and the ground literally sizzling nearby. This landscape is so surreal, NASA has even used it to simulate Mars missions.” Before going full volcano mode, you'll swing by Yaiza's Aloe Vera Museum. Aloe has been a healing powerhouse for over 6,000 years, with ancient Egyptians calling it the Plant of Immortality. Local guide Carlos says “This plant can live and bloom without soil – impressive right?” Lanzarote's volcanic soil helps produce some of the purest aloe around, and you'll find everything from skincare to soothing gels, perfect for a quick wellness boost before diving into Timanfaya National Park. When you reach this showstopper, get ready for a photo frenzy. You'll see an ocean of hardened lava, craters, and geysers created by over 100 volcanic eruptions that went on for six straight years. And the highlight? The geothermal demos will blow your mind – watch as water poured into the ground shoots out as steam in seconds. Once you've taken it all in, you'll cruise back to Playa Blanca. This express tour is ideal if you're short on time but craving a big adventure.

Full-day Northern Lanzarote art and sightseeing tour
A day full of art, nature, and mouth-watering flavours awaits you on this full-day tour of northern Lanzarote. Lazlo, one of our local expert guides, says, “This tour gives you a snapshot of Lanzarote through the eyes of the island's legendary artist, sculptor, and eco-warrior, César Manrique. He worked with local authorities to protect the island's natural beauty by introducing laws to keep buildings low—no taller than palm trees and always in the classic Canarian style.”Your first stop is the César Manrique Foundation, which was also his former home, built right into lava bubbles – impressive, right? This spot is all about blending art and nature, with funky sculptures, wow-factor walkways, and plenty of cacti to marvel at. Next, we'll head to the Cueva de los Verdes, a natural wonder created by ancient lava flows, where you'll stroll through the stalactites and stalagmites of this underground world. From there, we'll continue to the Mirador del Rio, a viewpoint designed by Manrique himself. After snapping up some epic photos of Lanzarote and the Chinijo Archipelago from up high, you'll stroll through the Valley of a Thousand Palm Trees – where a tradition of planting a palm for each newborn has made this village the greenest spot on the island. You'll love the charming white Canarian houses, vibrant Bougainvillea, and learning that Manrique lived and worked in Haria until his passing in 1992. After a fresh, locally sourced lunch in a cosy Canarian house, you'll wrap up this adventure at the quirky Red House in Arrieta, perched right by the sea.

Lanzarote Timanfaya National Park express tour without Transfer
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.

Lanzarote - 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.

To finish, savour a tasting of one of the estate's renowned wines with local cheese and crackers.
