What to do in Lanzarote

Lanzarote tours

One of the most popular things to do in Lanzarote is a Lanzarote tour, seeing this incredible island is a must as it is stunning. With many natural parks like Timanfaya National Park where they actually tested vehicles for the Mars space expedition and actually named the first place, they landed Timanfaya it's no wonder when you take one of the Lanzarote tours here you feel like you are on the moon. There are three main ways to see the South of the island and Timanfaya National Park and they can all be found on the Timanfaya National Park Page.

The Grand tour Lanzarote taking in Timanfaya and the North in one day

The Timanfaya Lanzarote Grand tour is a popular option when thinking about what to do in Lanzarote in regards to tours around the island. It takes in the South of the island and the North of the island in one day making it the perfect option if you just want to spend one day exploring Lanzarote

Lanzarote South tours and short South Tours

If you want to see the South of the island only which is home to the main attraction Timanfaya National Park then you can choose whether you want to spend a full day exploring the south or just see the best parts and be back around the pool by lunchtime. The Lanzarote Volcano South Tour is the full day which gives you more time at each stop and also stops in a lovely village for lunch if you want something short, sweet and mainly the Timanfaya Park, and the camels then we recommend you look at the Lanzarote Volcano short south tour.

See the North of Lanzarote with a Lanzarote North tour

The North of Lanzarote is stunning, its a little greener than the south especially winter time and is home to very beautiful sights and villages like Haria the valley of 1000 palms, this village is so unique all the houses are built so when you look down on them they are in the shape of a star and surrounding the village are thousands of palm trees that they plant every time a child is born. One of the star attractions in the North of Lanzarote has to be Jameos Del Agua and the Jameos Del Agua and North tour lets you see the best of the North including some more fascinating creations of the great artist Cesar Manrique. Here you also get the best views of La Graciosa which we will tell you how to get to next.

Cesar Manrique Tours in Lanzarote

Cesar Manrique was an artist who shaped the island of Lanzarote, in fact, much of what you see today is down to him. He said all the houses should be white with certain window colours depending on if they belong to farmers, fishermen or other occupations. He also said not to build anything higher than three stories to preserve the beauty of the island. You can visit Cesar Manriques house and learn much more about him and this island on the Cesar Manrique Lanzarote tour.

Lanzarote boat trips

When asking what to do in Lanzarote most people will tell you about boat trips. Lanzarote is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and there are a number of Lanzarote boat trips you can go on to spend a day at sea soaking up the sun. They do say one day at sea is like three days around the pool when it comes to getting a tan so if when you ask your family and friends what shall we do in Lanzarote today and they all say sunbath maybe you can tell them this fact and get them out on one of the many boat trips on offer.

Lanzarote catamaran cruises

The most popular way to experience a Lanzarote boat trip is by catamaran, there are some luxury catamarans in Lanzarote that will have you feeling like a millionaire for the day. There are a number of options for you and most visit the Bay of Papagayo. The first and most popular is the Catlanza catamaran and they have family sails with the Catlanza Lanzarote family sailing and they also offer an adults-only option meaning nobody on board is under the age of 16 making the Catlanza adults-only cruise extremely popular when adults ask what is there to do in Lanzarote for us.

Another incredible Lanzarote catamaran is the I Love Papagayo catamaran that departs from Puerto Del Carmen and takes you sailing to Papagayo where you will be served a delicious lunch and can do many watersports and swimming or just chill out and relax.

Atlantic Adventure Lanzarote

Wondering what to for families in Lanzarote, well by far the best Lanzarote boat trips for families in the Atlantic Adventure. Now the name says it all it's an adventure, do not think this is a relaxing day it is catered for families and suits most budgets as it is incredible value for money. It is only three hours out at sea and in that time there really is so much to do for adults and kids alike, swimming, snorkelling, slides at the back of the boat and a glass-bottom area to see all the fish. This really is one of the best things to do in Lanzarote for families on the sea.

Lanzarote sunset cruise

Romance and the best Lanzarote sunset is seen from the sea. This lovely cruise takes you out just as the sun sets and the sky turns an awesome orange colour. With Welcome drink and snacks and sights that you will never forget the Lanzarote sunset cruise is perfect for couples of all ages./p>

Rancho Texas Lanzarote

One of the main attractions in Lanzarote is Rancho Texas, this is not just an animal park but it also has a full-on waterpark inside two with two giant slides, a huge pool and loads of splash zones for the kids. You can get Rancho Texas tickets and make your own way skipping the line as you are all booked or you can book with a free bus pick up. If you want to add to your day at Rancho Texas why not interact with the dolphins or better still go all in and swim with the sea lions. Both of these options include a full day at the park.

What to do in Lanzarote at night

Lanzarote nightlife is great, from the many karaoke bars, fun pubs and nightclubs on offer and the varied restaurants meaning you can literally eat your way around the world in Lanzarote, but what if you get a little bored of that and find yourself asking what is there to do at night in Lanzarote other than bars. Well with some dazzling shows on offer you can make sure you spend a few nights that are different.

Oceans Royale Dinner and show

Probably the best show on the island and certainly the newest Oceans Royale dinner and the show is a must-see. It is set in a stunning venue that hosts the best events in Lanzarote and many weddings, the decor and layout have so much attention to detail you will feel like you are at a wedding when you step inside. The show has everything from magicians, acrobatics and live singers and dancers and the food here is 5 star. The night includes a three-course meal served by professional waiters and waitresses and all-inclusive drinks all night so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the show.

Music Hall Tavern Lanzarote

This is a very famous show in Lanzarote and it has been so successful that they have a UK tour and the show has expanded onto all the Canary Islands. This comedy drag show will have you rolling in the aisles with laughter as the girls will put on a night of glitz and glamour with music from the decades. The Music Hall Tavern Lanzarote show includes a meal and welcome drink and you can upgrade to all-inclusive if you want to save some money.

Buggies are great but if you are looking for what to do in Lanzarote that new and unique then the Lanzarote quads are a perfect option for you. Even more unique than the Lanzarote quads is the trike tours for three people which are like riding a motorbike but with the comfort of a car. One vehicle that the Aventura Lanzarote crew have are called Slingshots and these are only available in Lanzarote. These red devil vehicles driving through Timanfaya really suit the landscape and the Slingshot Lanzarote tour is the most unique way to see the island.
