We absolutely recommend this tour
We did the Excursión a Timanfaya y las Montañas del Fuego Experience! We absolutely loved this tour! It was incredibly complete and one of the best ways to truly get to know Lanzarote. But what made the experience even more special was, without a doubt, our guide, Cristina. Cristina was amazing from start to finish, so kind, friendly and genuine. More than a guided tour, it felt like we were exploring the island with a friend who just happens to know absolutely everything about Lanzarote. She explained everything in such a natural and interesting way, without ever sounding like the typical rehearsed speech you sometimes get on tours. Her knowledge of the island is incredible: from its history and volcanoes to the earthquakes, the vineyards and Lanzarote’s unique way of growing grapes, the Green Lagoon, the camels, the artists and the island’s culture. And because her family has lived in Lanzarote for many generations, it was even more fascinating to hear stories and experiences passed down through her parents and grandparents, giving us a much more personal and authentic perspective on life on the island and how it has changed over time. You can really tell how deeply she knows Lanzarote and how much she genuinely enjoys sharing that knowledge. She answered all our questions, always adding interesting facts and context, and made us see many of the places we visited from a completely different perspective. It was such a lovely morning, we learned so much without it ever feeling like a “lesson”, and we finished the tour feeling like we understood Lanzarote so much better than before. We absolutely recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Cristina as your guide. ❤️

Highlight of my holiday
Hopefully I’ve left this on the right excursion page as there are a few. We booked an early evening tour with vineyard stop off, bbq and sunset viewing via our Tui rep. Absolutely loved it. The guide (I think her name was Korette) was lovely, very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her home country. We stopped off in a few places for pictures (gave us a few toilet break opportunities too), Korette also pointed out various things and explained the history as we drove around. My son (9) loved the “experiments” they showed us. Dinner was lovely and we very much enjoyed watching the sun set. Only downside was the vineyard stop which was very brief and a bit rushed but this wasn’t really what we booked the tour for so wasn’t an issue. We had a bit of a “pool side” holiday and I’m so glad we did the tour as came away feeling like we’d seen an important part of the island. Kudos to the coach driver on those scary roads!!

Evening trip
Timafaya evening trip £110 each definitely not worth the money and the food in the restaurant was not very good well that’s my opinion, but looking round there was a lot of food left
Response from the operator: Hello, please check the company you booked the excursion with. It wasn´t definitely us, we are Lanzarote Experience Tour, and we do not offer any excursions on Thursdays or any evening trips. I kindly ask you , please, to remove your comment from our file and put it on the correct company. Thank you very much.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Timanfaya & Lanzarote Volcano Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lanzarote.
How much does Timanfaya & Lanzarote Volcano Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $148 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 & Lanzarote Volcano Experience take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 & Lanzarote Volcano Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 280 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 & Lanzarote Volcano Experience?
+
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 & Lanzarote Volcano Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Timanfaya & Lanzarote Volcano Experience?
+
Around 98 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Timanfaya & Lanzarote Volcano Experience 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.
What is included in Timanfaya & Lanzarote Volcano Experience?

+

What languages is Timanfaya & Lanzarote Volcano Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
