Lanzarote: Volcanos of Timanfaya and Caves Tour with Lunch
About This Experience
A full circuit of the south and north with lunch built in, for people who would rather not spend the day hunting for somewhere to eat between stops.
The morning runs down the lava coast with the Salinas de Janubio salt pans below, then to El Golfo and its green crater lagoon, and on into Timanfaya for the Ruta de los Volcanes. Lunch is at Yaiza, and it is included — as is the entry ticket to Timanfaya and travel insurance for the day.
The afternoon turns inland to La Geria, where vines grow one to a pit in the volcanic ash behind crescent stone walls, then north through the valley of a thousand palms to Jameos del Agua. Note that the camel ride and the La Geria wine tasting are the two things this ticket does not cover.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.5/5 by 558 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
We had an excellent day. Very straightforward to organise a pick-up from a nearby hotel (staying in a villa) great communication and we really enjoyed the stops. Would absolutely recommend

Absolutely amazing trip, got to see everything we were promised. Lunch was also delicious. Our tour guide Martin and bus driver Oscar - truly brilliant!!! Definitely recommend this trip!
— Michaela, August
Just a little confusing with two different pick up times but customer service replied very quickly. The trip was very informative and certainly wouldn’t have had the same knowledge or experience by going solo. Highly recommended as a full day with different topics

Frequently Asked Questions
Is lunch really included?
Yes. Lunch at Yaiza is part of the ticket, along with entry to Timanfaya and travel insurance for the day. Dietary options are available if you tell the operator when you book.
What is not included?
The camel ride at Timanfaya and the wine tasting at La Geria are both charged separately. Everything else on the itinerary is covered.
What is the green lagoon at El Golfo?
Charco de los Clicos — a half-drowned crater on the west coast whose water is coloured deep green by algae, sitting behind a black sand beach with red cliffs above it. The tour stops there for photographs.
Why are the vines in La Geria grown in holes?
Each vine sits in its own pit dug into the volcanic ash, with a crescent of stones on the windward side. The ash traps overnight condensation and the wall blocks the trade wind, which is how a vineyard survives on an island with almost no rain.
