Lanzarote is shaped by fire, from the lunar landscapes of Timanfaya National Park to the volcanic vineyards of La Geria. Excursions in Lanzarote combine this dramatic scenery with sailing trips to La Graciosa, family days out, and the artistic legacy of César Manrique, making it easy to find things to do in Lanzarote whatever your pace.
Most excursions in Lanzarote depart from Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen, or Playa Blanca, with hotel pick-up included in the price. Boat trips to La Graciosa and Timanfaya day tours are especially popular in summer, so booking tickets in advance is recommended.
