Itinerary
After a journey of about 40 minutes from the pick-up point, we visit the Cueva de los Verdes, a unique formation of extraordinary scenic and volcanological value. Located in the north of the island, and integrated in the vast volcanic landscape of the Malpaís de la Corona, it is one of the wonders hidden in the bowels of Lanzarote, endowed with a mysterious and special character.
About 15 minutes by bus from Cueva we visit Jameos del Agua, the first Art, Culture and Tourism Centre created by César Manrique, a natural space created inside a volcanic tunnel. Inaugurated in 1968, the artist, painter and sculptor transformed the space into a unique work of art that represents the maximum expression of his ideology: artistic creation in harmony with the environment and nature.
Situated 500 metres above sea level, this cliff offers a spectacular panoramic view of Lanzarote and the island of La Graciosa.
After a scenic bus ride of about 15 minutes we arrive in Haría, located in the enchanting "valley of a thousand palm trees", one of the best palm groves of the Canary Islands. As the road enters the mountains, this oasis appears in the middle of the pure geology of the island: green land and fields dotted with the white of the island's popular architecture.
After a journey of 30 minutes, we arrive at the geographical point of Lanzarote in the municipality of San Bartolomé, the Casa-Museo del Campesino, is the work with which César Manrique recognizes the efforts of the farmers of Lanzarote. From the bus we will see the Monumento a la Fecundidad, also known as the Monumento al Campesino. It is a construction of more than 15 metres, created by César Manrique together with the master Jesús Soto, from old water tanks from ships, iron and concrete objects assembled together, a magnificent reflection of avant-garde art, which has become one of the iconographic symbols of the island.

Nice tour to see the hihglights in Lanzarote! Even though it was a rainy day. That made the island with its many volcanoes and moon-like landscape even more beautiful and mysterious. The lunch could have been longer, so you have a little more time to have lunch elsewhere. And maybe they can combine camel ride with wine tasting, so that people can choose and not a lot of time is wasted for the people who don't want a camel ride.
Lovely experience, the caves were really interesting. The lagoon was good experience and we only spent about 45 minutes which is enough time to get round. My husband and I both enjoy bus journey through the National Park, it is a very dramatic and barren place. Beautiful colouring in the rocks and on the volcanoes. The guide was good and shared lots of information. Unfortunately some information was missed due to the speaker system on the bus.
The trip was amazing incorporated everything we wanted to do , information sent through was upto date and informative , so glad we picked this tour .
What a fantastic excursion!! The tour guide was utterly amazing, fun, energetic and just so exciting! The caves were fascinating and the whole trip was so much fun. Well organised, everything on time and learned so much about the island. 100% would recommend!!
Excellent tour. No problems with pick up, tour guide was brilliant, all on time. It exceeded my expectations. The caves are amazing, but would not suit anyone with mobility issues, steep uneven steps. Everything was as described. The lunch was definitely worth having, very good. I'd definitely recommend this tour.
Very well organised tour, punctual with timings. Pickup location was very clear and on time. Guide was very well informed on subject matters. Guide and driver were very friendly.
First of all I would like to comment on communication with the company - it was outstanding. I originally booked a whole island tour on getyourguide but had presence of mind to ask about joining it from a cruise ship. Immediately I was informed that it was not suitable and a different arrangement can be made for us. I had messages from the company a day before, updates in real time on the day. The tour itself was amazing value for money. Cruise ship passengers take notice - it cost one third for four times more than a cruise ship excursion. We have done only one part but have seen massive number of things. We were picked up and dropped off at the port. Fantastic guide, brilliant driver, entrance fees included in the price. I would not hesitate to book through them again.
Great itinerary booked through getyourguide. The tour had 80+ people which we thought was far too much. Alot of queuing for facilities as most places only had 2 toilets. Couldn't really hear alot of the information or see demonstration due to volume of people. Definitely would not have booked if we had realised it was such a large group. The journey back a bit of a shambles as the guide took a group back to playa blanca and the driver didn't speak English so was very chaotic...
The guide was very personable and positive, but there were too many attendees (63). We could not all hear her many times. Also the camel ride was not for all of us.
The place is amazing, views are fantastic. It is an intricate labyrinth of caves or lava tubes/tunnels it is very uneven down in the caves so you have to be careful I would suggest that it is not a place for people with wheelchairs or uneasy on their feet. The water below is cold and still with blind white crabs living in it. The reflections make a great picture. Above ground is the pool, it is so white around it looks like snow. Apparently one the King of Spain is allowed to swim in it although it does look like they hold parties there. There is a coffee/snack cafe in the cave but give yourself plenty of time if you are on a coach trip, we didn't get time to have a cuppa. Worth the trip, very well worth the trip.
