The Best Lanzarote Tours and Island Trips

Lanzarote is one of the most unique islands in the Canary Islands, and a guided tour is one of the easiest ways to see the best of it without hiring a car or trying to plan everything yourself. From the volcanic landscapes of Timanfaya National Park to the caves, viewpoints, villages, vineyards and César Manrique attractions in the north, there is far more to Lanzarote than the resort areas.

On this page you can book a wide range of Lanzarote tours, including volcano tours, full island tours, North Lanzarote tours, South Lanzarote tours, guided bus tours, private tours, market tours and special experiences such as the Timanfaya Volcano Dinner El Diablo Evening Tour. Many tours include pickup from or close to the main resorts, making it easy to explore Lanzarote even if you do not have a hire car.

Whether it is your first time in Lanzarote or you have visited before, the right tour can help you see more of the island in less time. You can choose a half day volcano tour, a full day Grand Tour, a North Lanzarote tour with Jameos del Agua and Mirador del Río, or a private tour if you want a more flexible experience.

Which Lanzarote Tour Should You Choose?

There are many different ways to tour Lanzarote, so the best option depends on what you want to see, how much time you have and whether you prefer a full day trip or something shorter.

Best Lanzarote tour for first time visitors

If this is your first visit to Lanzarote, the most popular choice is usually a Timanfaya volcano tour or a full day island tour. These tours show you the volcanic side of the island, the dramatic lava fields, the geothermal demonstrations in Timanfaya and some of the most famous landscapes in Lanzarote.

Best Lanzarote tour for volcanoes

For volcano scenery, choose a South Lanzarote tour, a Timanfaya tour or a dedicated volcano tour. These normally focus on Timanfaya National Park, the Fire Mountains, El Golfo, the Green Lagoon, Los Hervideros and the La Geria wine region.

Best Lanzarote tour for views and caves

For the greener and more dramatic northern side of the island, choose a North Lanzarote tour. These tours can include Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes, Mirador del Río, the Cactus Garden, Haría and other César Manrique inspired attractions.

Best Lanzarote tour for something different

If you want something more exclusive, the Timanfaya Volcano Dinner El Diablo Evening Tour is one of the most unusual experiences in Lanzarote. It gives you the chance to visit Timanfaya in the evening and enjoy dinner at the famous El Diablo restaurant, where food is cooked using natural geothermal heat from the volcano.

Lanzarote Volcano Tours and Timanfaya National Park

Timanfaya National Park is one of the biggest reasons visitors book Lanzarote tours. The landscape was created by volcanic eruptions and today it is one of the most famous places to visit in the Canary Islands. The colours, lava fields, craters and geothermal heat demonstrations make Timanfaya feel completely different from anywhere else on the island.

A guided Lanzarote volcano tour is the easiest way to visit Timanfaya because access to the main volcanic route is controlled, and the route through the Fire Mountains is done by official park transport. Booking an organised tour means you can sit back, enjoy the scenery and listen to the guide explain how the island was shaped by volcanic activity.

Popular options include half day volcano tours, South Lanzarote tours and full day island tours that combine Timanfaya with other southern highlights such as El Golfo, Los Hervideros, the Green Lagoon and La Geria. If Timanfaya is the one place you do not want to miss, choose one of the Lanzarote volcano tours near the top of this page.

Timanfaya Volcano Dinner at El Diablo

For visitors looking for a more exclusive Lanzarote volcano experience, the Timanfaya Volcano Dinner El Diablo Evening Tour is a standout option. This tour gives you a rare chance to experience Timanfaya in the evening, away from the usual daytime crowds.

The highlight is dinner at El Diablo, the restaurant inside Timanfaya National Park. It is famous because food is cooked using natural heat from the volcano below the surface. This is one of those Lanzarote experiences that feels properly different, and it is ideal for couples, special occasions or anyone who wants something more memorable than a standard day tour.

If you have already visited Timanfaya during the day, this evening tour is still worth considering because it gives you a different atmosphere and a more exclusive way to enjoy the volcanic landscape.

North Lanzarote Tours

The north of Lanzarote is very different from the volcanic south. It is greener, more dramatic in places and strongly connected with the work of César Manrique. A North Lanzarote tour is ideal if you want viewpoints, caves, traditional villages and some of the island’s most famous cultural attractions.

Many North Lanzarote tours include places such as Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes, Mirador del Río, Haría, the Cactus Garden and the landscapes around the northern coastline. These tours are especially good for visitors who want to see the more artistic and natural side of Lanzarote.

Mirador del Río Tours

Mirador del Río is one of the most impressive viewpoints in Lanzarote, looking across to the island of La Graciosa from high above the cliffs in the north. It is one of the best stops for photos and one of the clearest examples of how César Manrique blended architecture into the natural landscape.

If you want a Lanzarote tour that includes big views, northern scenery and key Manrique attractions, choose the Mirador del Río Tour and Jameos del Agua. This is a strong option for visitors who want to see the north properly rather than only visiting Timanfaya and the south.

Jameos del Agua Tours

Jameos del Agua is one of the most famous attractions in Lanzarote. It was created inside a volcanic lava tunnel and transformed by César Manrique into a unique mix of nature, art, architecture and water. It is one of the must see places in the north of the island.

The Jameos del Agua and North Tour is ideal if you want to combine Jameos del Agua with other northern highlights. It is a good choice for anyone who wants a guided tour that feels different from the volcano and south island routes.

South Lanzarote Tours

South Lanzarote tours are usually focused around the volcanic landscapes of Timanfaya and the dramatic coastline nearby. These tours are among the most popular in Lanzarote because they include many of the island’s best known sights in one route.

A South Lanzarote tour can include Timanfaya National Park, El Golfo, the Green Lagoon, Los Hervideros, La Geria wine region and sometimes camel ride options. This is a good choice if you want to see the powerful volcanic side of the island and understand why Lanzarote looks so different from other holiday destinations.

Full Day Lanzarote Island Tours

If you want to see as much as possible in one day, a full day Lanzarote island tour or Grand Tour is usually the best option. These tours are designed for visitors who want the main highlights without needing to book several separate trips.

A full day tour may combine Timanfaya, southern volcanic landscapes, villages, viewpoints and northern attractions such as Jameos del Agua or Cueva de los Verdes. It is a long day, but it is one of the best ways to see the island properly, especially if you are only in Lanzarote for a week.

Lanzarote Bus Tours with Pickup

Many Lanzarote tours are operated by coach or bus, with pickup available from or near the main resort areas. This makes them ideal for visitors staying in Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise, Matagorda, Puerto Calero and Arrecife who do not want the hassle of driving or parking.

Pickup points vary depending on the tour and the resort, so always check the individual tour page before booking. Some pickups may be directly outside your accommodation, while others may be at a nearby meeting point. The product cards above show which tours have pickup available.

César Manrique Lanzarote Tours

César Manrique shaped the look and feel of Lanzarote more than almost anyone else. His influence can be seen across the island, especially in attractions that combine art, architecture and nature. If you are interested in the cultural side of Lanzarote, a César Manrique style tour is a great choice.

Manrique linked attractions can include Jameos del Agua, Mirador del Río, the Cactus Garden, the César Manrique Foundation and other important island landmarks. These tours help visitors understand why Lanzarote has protected so much of its natural character and why the island feels different from many other sun destinations.

Lanzarote Tours to Cueva de los Verdes

Cueva de los Verdes, also known as the Green Caves, is one of the most popular attractions in the north of Lanzarote. The caves form part of a volcanic lava tunnel created by eruptions from Monte Corona thousands of years ago.

A guided tour to Cueva de los Verdes is a good option if you want to see the volcanic story of Lanzarote from a different angle. Instead of viewing lava fields from above, you walk inside part of the island’s volcanic history. Many North Lanzarote tours combine Cueva de los Verdes with Jameos del Agua and other nearby attractions.

Teguise Market Tours

Teguise Market is one of the most popular weekly markets in Lanzarote and a good option if you want a relaxed shopping trip with transport included. The old capital of Teguise fills with stalls selling local products, crafts, clothes, gifts, jewellery, food items and souvenirs.

A Teguise Market tour is useful because you do not need to worry about parking or finding your way through the island. You can be collected from or near your resort, enjoy time at the market and return afterwards. It is not the same type of tour as Timanfaya or Jameos del Agua, but it is still one of the classic Lanzarote trips visitors book every week.

Private Lanzarote Tours

If you prefer something more flexible, a private Lanzarote tour may be the better option. Private tours are ideal for families, couples, small groups, cruise visitors or anyone who wants a more personal experience without following the standard bus tour route.

A private tour can give you more control over the day, the pace and the places you visit. If you want to see Timanfaya, the north, César Manrique attractions, viewpoints or hidden parts of Lanzarote in your own group, view our private tours in Lanzarote.
