What you'll see and do
Cueva de los Verdes
After a journey of about 40 minutes from the pick-up point, we visit the Cueva de los Verdes, a unique formation of landscape and volcanological characteristics of extraordinary value. Located in the north of the island, and integrated into the vast volcanic landscape of Malpaís de la Corona, it is one of the wonders hidden in the bowels of Lanzarote, endowed with a mysterious and special character.

Jameos Del Agua
Los Jameos del Agua has its origin after the eruption of the Corona Volcano. The word “jameo” is of Guanche origin, and refers to the hole that occurs as a result of the collapse of the roof of a volcanic tube, in this case, the Corona volcanic tube. Those who do not wish to enter Jameos del Agua will be able to see the "Jameo Rearo", which is free and next to the sea. The underwater part of all these volcanic tubes is known as the "Atlantis Tunnel", one of the most important tunnels in the world. You can also enjoy some time at the "Playa de la Pequena", located at the back of Jameos del Agua, although it is not usually suitable for swimming due to the waves, you can sunbathe and get your feet wet.

Haria
After a panoramic bus ride of about 15 minutes we arrived at Haría, located in the charming “valley of a thousand palm trees”, one of the best native palm groves in the Canary Islands. As the road enters between mountains, this oasis appears in the middle of the pure geology of the island: green lands and crops dotted with the white of the popular island architecture. Normally this is the place chosen by the guide to give free time to eat. (Food not included)
40 minutes here
La Geria
La Geria is a peculiar area of the island of Lanzarote where vineyard plantations abound. With a volcanic landscape and arid land, the quality of its wines is surprising. The presence of vineyards in land like this is unusual. We will stop at a winery to have a small shot of wine.
20 minutes here
At the camel shed, anyone who wishes can take a ride of about 20 minutes on the back of this beautiful animal. Those who do not wish to can visit a small museum about the history of camels on the island of Lanzarote.

Timanfaya National Park
The Montañas del Fuego are the unusual result of eruptions in the south of Lanzarote in the 18th and 19th centuries. A spectacle of red craters, lava flows and lunar landscapes that reflect the burning of the earth and its uncontrollable force. Its 200 kilometers of extension are part of the Timanfaya National Park, where one of the largest volcanic activities in the world can be seen, both for the immense amount of materials thrown by the fire, and for its spectacular duration: six years between 1730 and 1736. where the bowels of the island did not stop roaring.

A must do in lanzerote
Absolutely must do. Our driver Davido and guide Raquel took us on an Incredible tour of the island. Starting from playa blanca the coach picked us up on time along with a couple of other collection stops. The company was well organised and communication for times and places very clear. The tour itself was amazing. We visited the green cave, where you walk through a lava tube to a auditorium, along with seeing a secret part of lanzerote. From there you go to a cave with a very rare species of white blind crab, we had plenty of time to grab a coffee and soak up the atmosphere as well. The bus took us then to a viewing point where you see the norhern islands, Raquel was giving us loads of information throughout which really brought it to life. Lunch was next and Lunch was a ok, probably the weakest part of the tour but perfectly fine for €12. We had just under an hour but arrived with another bus so the buffet was untouchable for the first 25mins. We didn't come for the food though! We then went to a winery, tried some local wine and had the option to purchase that and visit a gift shop. The tour then went up a gear. We visited the timanfaya. This is a national volcanic park and my personal highlight of the trip. The first stop is 3 demonstrations for how hot the earth is. From holding hot soil from a couple elf inches down to seeing them set fire to bushes by putting them into a volcanic pit to the geysers. Once done it was back onto the bus to a drive around the park - which was breathtaking. 10/10 must see if you like geology. This lasted a little while whilst a pre recorded tape explained the history of recent eruptions and the formation of the area. After that is was a trip to the green lakes - we had about 20mins there to take some pictures and walk around. Overall I would say this is spectacular value for money. We had to pay extra for the crab caves (€30) but it was worth it and overall I would 100% recommend this company for this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your detailed and positive review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the excursion and that, overall, you had such a good experience. As for entry to the caves, we offer various booking options, with or without tickets included. In your case, you chose the option without tickets, so you would have had to pay the entrance fee separately if you wished to visit the caves. We look forward to welcoming you back to Lanzarote!

Great day seeing the...
Great day seeing the island. The guide and driver were great. Would highly recommend. The only warning I would give is if you are afraid of heights/edges then the lady part of the volcano park drive will make you uncomfortable but I would do it again. It’s amazing to see
Response from the operator: We love working to ensure that our unrivalled island and its treasures are even better known and appreciated! Thank you for choosing us

Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lanzarote.
How much does Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes cost?
+
Prices start at $107 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lanzarote usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lanzarote is not rushed.
Is Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lanzarote, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lanzarote can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lanzarote and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lanzarote within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lanzarote?
+
On Outty we rank every Lanzarote experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guapatinis Show Bar Experience, Tour to Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes and viewpoint from the cliff, MHT Lanzarote - Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience - No1. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lanzarote?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lanzarote?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
