Top 5 Things to Do in Lanzarote

Though it is one of the smaller Canary Islands, Lanzarote is still one of the most popular with foreign tourists. It boasts a gorgeous volcanic landscape and beautiful villages, making it popular among visitors from around the world. Hiring a Lanzarote airport transfer is a must-do if you’re looking to visit for a vacation and travel around the island safely and comfortably.

Lanzarote is known for everything from vineyards and volcano tours to beaches, a rich cultural history that includes artist César Manrique, stunning national parks, and more. Given the number of things you can do on this island, there’s truly something here for everyone. And if you’re looking to explore Lanzarote easily and in a stress-free manner, hiring a Lanzarote limousine service is what you need to do.

Once you hire a Lanzarote chauffeur service, the next step is to share your itinerary with them so that they can help you get around the island easily. That said, we understand that curating this itinerary can be a challenge, given the number of things available to do. To make things easier, this article will help you explore some of the top things to do in Lanzarote.

Timanfaya National Park

As your Lanzarote car service chauffeur will let you know, Timanfaya is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Lanzarote. Located in the south and spanning 20 square miles, this national park boasts a unique landscape of volcanoes and lava fields. In fact, the terrain in this park has frequently been compared to the moon rather than the Canary Islands!

Once you’re dropped off at the national park by your airport transfer Lanzarote, your next step should be to visit the Mancha Blanca Visitor and Interpretation Centre, where you can learn more about the park. Then, you can explore the many volcanic formations that make up the part of the park that is open to visitors, including Montaña de Fuego, Montaña Rajada, Pico Partido, the Caldera de Rilla, and more.

Jameos del Agua

As your car service Lanzarote chauffeur will let you know, Jameos del Agua was created by artist César Manrique. It is a tourist attraction and art and culture center that was created by Manrique inside a volcanic tunnel which was created after the eruption of the La Corona volcano.

Jameos del Agua was created with the idea of a journey to the center of the earth, so once your limousine service Lanzarote drops you off, you will start walking down the steps on the first stage. The space includes a pool, a bar, a restaurant, a nightclub, an auditorium, and a vulcanology center, as well as truly stunning gardens that are full of luxuriant vegetation.

Parque Natural de los Volcanes

Also known as the Los Volcanos Nature Reserve, the Parque Natural de los Volcanes is located surrounding Timanfaya National Park, so you can visit this natural park the same day you visit Timanfaya. 

Once your chauffeur service Lanzarote drops you off, you can explore the walking trails or take one of the volcano tours that will teach you more about the area's geology, flora, and fauna. Some of the walking trails you can try include Caldera Blanca, Montana Colorada, Caldera de los Cuervos, and Montaña Los Rodeos.

Playa de Papagayo

As your Lanzarote chauffeur will let you know, Playa de Papagayo, or Papagayo Beach, is one of the most beautiful beaches in Lanzarote. This beach is located within the Monumento Natural de Los Ajaches Park. 

Since the beach is located within the reserve, there is limited development, though you can bring your airport Lanzarote transfer inside. Because of the limited development, the beach boasts stunning pale gold sands, crystal clear waters that are perfect for swimming and gorgeous views from the cliff tops.

You should consider bringing your own food to the beach because the two beach restaurants get very busy very quickly. You can also visit this beach by taking a yacht or boat tour from Puerto del Carmen instead of visiting directly.

La Graciosa

As your chauffeur Lanzarote will tell you, La Graciosa is often considered the eighth Canary Island. This island is the largest and only inhabited island in the small Chinijo Archipelago and is home to only 600 people. It also has no roads or hotels, making it a perfect getaway spot from the busy pace of mainland Lanzarote.

Get your transfer Lanzarote airport to drop you off at the ferry at Orzola, and take the 30-minute ride to La Graciosa. There, you can rent a bike and cycle through the volcanic landscape and the golden beaches on the island. Alternatively, you can grab a bite of seafood at the cafes and restaurants in Caleta del Sebo.

Other attractions in the area include the diving center. You can also get on one of the catamaran or boat excursions available in the area and travel further to visit the uninhabited islands of Alegranza and Montaña Clara, which boast magnificent beaches.
