4Wonderfull landscape, very good guide
Really nice hike to Volcán Santa Catalina in Timanfaya National Park. You meet the guide on the nearby road and then follow a trail of about 7 km through the volcanic landscape. The hike is suitable for any reasonably fit adult. There is one somewhat steep section near the volcano's crater, but overall it is not particularly demanding. Hiking boots are necessary. I really enjoyed the landscape, but what I appreciated most were the guide's explanations. In principle, you could do the hike on your own, but you would miss the fascinating geological story behind Timanfaya. The information and insights provided by the guide are definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend doing this experience at the beginning of your stay in Lanzarote. It is a great way to start getting to know the island and, in particular, its extraordinary volcanic landscape.
5Memorable!
Rachel was a fantastic guide!!! The tour was more than expected walking the volcanos and learning all the history was breathtaking and enlightening. Rachel went above and beyond not just for me but all her guests. The hike is slightly challenging but with the right guide very doable. Don’t miss out on this experience. If you need walking sticks make sure you add it when booking they can provide.
5Great Experience
Tour guide very informative, knowledgable and attentive. English and French was perfect and was able to switch between both. Very interesting to hear about volcanos and Lanzarote history.
5Fantastic tour
This was a very accessible and fascinating hike. The group was very small and the guide could speak in many languages. Felt very personal and fascinating and fun. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative and the route gave you that remote feeling. There were snacks included. Staff was very communicative and flexible with meeting people and making sure you got to and from the point so don’t be afraid to reach out. They also organize many other tours which i unfortunately did not have time to do but i will return!
5Amazing introduction to Lanzarote
This is an absolute must-do in Lanzarote if you’re interested in volcanoes and the local nature and are up for a relatively easy hike. Our guide Raquel picked us up promptly and was great at pointing out various sights on the way. She also answered my million questions about the island and gave recommendations. There were also some nice snacks, including delicious volcanic soil-grown bananas. We took this tour on our first full day on Lanzarote and I can’t imagine a better introduction. We would definitely take a tour with this company again.
5Excellent trip to the volcanoes
Excellent trip with a very knowledgeable and passionate guide. Raquel was brilliant and I appreciated her experience and guidance. I have learnt so much and appreciate Lanzarote even more.

About Lanzarote
Lanzarote is the Canary Islands' volcanic island of black lava fields, white villages, vineyards in pits and landmarks shaped by the artist César Manrique.
Lanzarote is one of the easternmost of the Canary Islands, a volcanic island of lava fields, cones and a dry, sunny climate. Between 1730 and 1736 eruptions buried a number of villages, and Timanfaya National Park preserves that landscape of black and red craters, where guides show how the heat just beneath the ground can boil water. The artist César Manrique shaped much of the island's look, limiting building heights and keeping villages white with green and blue trim.
Top-ranked sights in Lanzarote: Timanfaya National Park (Parque Nacional de Timanfaya), Jameos del Agua, El Golfo.
