Lanzarote: Full-Day Island Highlights Tour
About This Experience
One coach, one day, and most of the island's volcanic set pieces. This is the tour to book when Timanfaya is on the list but so are the lava tubes in the north, and you have a single free day to do both.
The route works north to south: the Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua, both carved by the La Corona eruption; the cliff-top views across to La Graciosa; the palm valley at Haría; a stop with a La Geria winegrower; then Timanfaya itself, where you climb Islote de Hilario for the geothermal demonstrations before joining the Ruta de los Volcanes. The camel station and the lava coast close the day.
The one thing to get right at checkout is the ticket bundle. This listing sells the same itinerary with no entry tickets, with two, or with all three included — the price difference is the entry fees, not the tour. Book the bare version and you will be paying at each gate yourself.

Hotel pickup from selected resorts across the island. The operator sends the exact pickup point and time by WhatsApp the afternoon before, around 3 pm, and it is not always the accommodation itself.
What Travelers Say
Rated 4.7/5 by 3,244 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
The lady guide was probably one of the best guides. She was great with my daughters and spent a lot of time explaining the history and areas we visited.
— Michael, August
The whole experience was absolutely unique. The volcanoes, caves, breathtaking views, camels… simply unforgettable! It was definitely the best money we spent during our entire holiday. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Lanzarote. You will have so much fun and learn a lot about the island. Raquel, our guide, and Paco, our driver — thank you so much! You made this adventure comfortable, enjoyable, and even more interesting.

A huge number of attractions and interesting sights packed into a single day. I had a wonderful guide, Rakela, and the driver also did a great job driving us around the island.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the entry tickets included?
That depends entirely on the option you pick. The same itinerary is sold three ways — without tickets, with two, and with all three (Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes). The cheapest option is the tour only; you pay at each gate on the day.
How long is the day?
About nine hours from pickup to drop-off, covering the north and the south of the island. Expect a long day on and off a coach.
Where does the coach collect me?
From a pickup point the operator confirms by WhatsApp the afternoon before, usually around 3 pm. It is often a nearby hotel or a main-road stop rather than your own accommodation.
Is lunch included?
No. There is normally free time at Haría in the Valley of a Thousand Palms to eat at your own cost. The camel ride at Timanfaya is also charged separately.
