The 15 Best Lanzarote Day Trips from Gran Canaria

23 tours

Black rock, whitewashed cubes and the fire mountains at Timanfaya, close enough to do in a day if you accept a very early start. These are the trips worth taking: crossing times, what you actually see, whether lunch is included or extra, and which run on the days you are free.

Fotos que suben a una plataforma por la noche y tienes que ir seleccionando las tuyas porque aparecen todos los miembros de la excursión. Ósea que no se toman la Molestia de mandarte solo las tuyas cobrando dicha cantidad . Así que en mi opinión, intentan sacar los cuarto por donde quieran . Repito monitor de 10 pero no volveremos.”

“C'était la première fois qu'on plongeait et Janina, notre instructrice, a su tout rendre parfait! Aussi bien pour moi, que pour ma femme qui n'est pas à l'aise dans l'eau ou pour mes 2 fils de 11 ans, elle nous a briefé en français et elle nous a guidé sous l'eau en toute tranquillité. On espérait juste arriver à plonger un peu et voir quelques poissons mais en fait on est resté très longtemps au fond pour nager au milieu des poissons et les observer, avec, en plus, la chance de voir un requin ange ! Bref, c'était magique ! Un gigantesque merci a Janina et toute l'équipe pour ce…”

“This was so much fun! My husband and I had such a great time and are now contemplating adding surfing to our long list of hobbies. Our surfing instructors were really informative and upbeat, encouraging us the whole time. We were in a mixed group of adult and kids doing warm ups on the beach and then went off with our own instructor. We had door to door service, photos taken and sent to us through whatsapp, bottled water, bananas, wetsuits and surfboards. There wasnt anything these surf instructors didnt think of. There are many surfing schools in Lanzarote, but this one is definitely the best!”

Manrique’s Lanzarote day trip bundles five iconic sites, including Mirador del Rio and Jameos del Agua, with air-conditioned coach transport.

“Unfortunately, this day trip was ruined by a screaming baby - the trip lasted for around 9 hours and was unpleasant. I wish I didn't book this had I know a baby was also booked on this (very long and hot journey for such a small child!). We could barely hear what the tour guide was saying over the child's screams. Paul the tour guide is great, he alone, I'd give 5 stars, and Eduardo the driver also I'd give 5 stars too. The day trip is very long, and people always came back late after each stop which made the day even longer. Really enjoyed seeing the cactus garden…”
