It was great it was only 2hr so perfect for children. The host was brilliant at informing what we were doing and local info. the boat was lovely and clean and had a toilet. Would have been good if they had sold cold drinks on the boat. Would have liked life jackets to be offered especially for the children under 8/ non swimmers. Would have liked it to be clearer we would be able to swim so I could have packed goggles etc. We saw lots of dolphins and a turtle! It made our holiday! 5 * trip!

Arrived 30 mins early as suggested. Man in shop was very brusque told us to go to gate 1. We went and then he came along 5 mins later and asked why we were all waiting there. Then he sent us away. From afar 10 mins later he arrived and marched other people to the far end of the quay, fortunately we saw this and didnt miss tge trip. Which failed to see any dolphins and docked 200m from the quay for a swim of 10 mins in a place where litter from the dock was floating by. Lovely.

This experience was such good value for money! The guide was so nice and made a fuss of the children, making the experience so much fun for them by singling them out and taking them to the front of the boat. We saw loads of dolphins and spend lots of time surrounded by them which was fantastic. The only thing that would make it better is for life jackets to be given to the customers. I found it very unnerving to be so far out to sea without any safety equipment.

Great trip overall. Saw dolphins and had a little swim in the sea. Skipper was entertaining and took all the kids to the front of the boat to try to spot any dolphins which was nice. The only downside was that they didn’t offer life jackets when we swam in the ocean. Not a problem for me but some parents didn’t let their kids swim when perhaps they would have otherwise. I did hear several people enquire as to whether there were any available.

This grand tour of Lanzarote leaves no stone unturned. ‘You'll unearth the secrets of this volcanic island through the eyes of someone who has made it their home,' says Daria, one of our expert guides. Discover the island's spectacular green north and the volcanic south, visiting Timanfaya National Park, Jameos del Agua caves and a winery along the way.The fun starts with a trip to the subterranean salt lake at Jameos del Agua. This ancient volcanic cavern was converted into a bar and concert space by local architectural legend, Cesar Manrique. After lunch, you'll get to find out how grapes are grown at a volcanic soil winery. You'll sample one-of-a-kind local wines from La Geria, a unique wine-growing region created after the Timanfaya volcanic eruptions 300 years ago. Next up is the Salinas de Janubio salt flats where traditional methods are still in use. Seawater enters shallow basins, evaporates under the sun, and workers harvest the salt manually. These salt flats are a haven for migratory and coastal bird species.Thanks to its otherworldly natural landscape, Lanzarote was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993. And the star of the show here is undoubtedly Timanfaya National Park.

Cesar Manrique’s Lanzarote tour with Cactus Garden and LagOmar

With its vine-laden lava fields, exuberant architecture and otherworldly landscapes, Lanzarote looks and feels like something from a sci-fi movie set. This exclusive half-day tour takes in the Cesar Manrique Foundation and his Cactus Garden, followed by a visit to LagOmar. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Manrique convinced his fellow islanders to invest in tourism without overdevelopment, making sure any human impact is in harmony with our volcanic landscapes.'Manrique was admired by many in his lifetime, and his influence on Lanzarote's culture lives on. He was a versatile artist producing paintings, sculptures and architectural works, bringing sustainability to the forefront of his creations, long before it became a buzzword. You'll first tour his Jardín de Cactus, where 1,100 species of sculptural succulents are grown. You can see instantly how Manrique's skill and vision enhanced the barren landscape. Similarly, the Fundacion Cesar Manrique demonstrates that harmony between the built environment and nature can succeed. A visit to the artist's home-studio, built into a lava field, is ample proof. Your final stop of the tour will be at LagOmar, a stunning spot that seamlessly combines nature and art. This unique place is set in a volcanic quarry and includes features like a cave-bar, restaurant, and a museum. Local legend has it that Hollywood icon Omar Sharif briefly owned it, only to lose it in a game of cards.

Northern Lanzarote tour with Jameos del Agua and Teguise

Mother Nature's imprint isn't the only one that looms large in Lanzarote. This half-day tour takes a close look at one of the island's most famous sons. You'll visit his Jameos del Agua and Mirador del Rio viewpoint. And you'll also discover the oldest town in the Canaries, Teguise. Cristina, one of our expert guides, says, ‘Local artist Cesar Manrique was to Lanzarote what Gaudi was to Barcelona. His architectural vision and activism left us a unique style in harmony with our volcanic landscapes and also helped preserve the island – he was opposed to high-rise hotels, so very few were built.'The discovery begins at the Manrique-designed complex built around the Jameos del Agua volcanic caves. He converted them into a nightclub in the 60s. The stage is still in use, but the stars nowadays are the rare white crabs in a saltwater pond. Next, we'll cut through dramatic volcanic landscapes to the Mirador del Rio – another Manrique masterpiece. At almost 500 metres above sea level, it offers unbeatable views over the island of La Graciosa and its volcanoes.After calling in at an Aloe Vera producer to learn the secrets of this versatile plant, you'll pass through a string of pretty villages en route to Teguise. As the former capital of the island, this history-steeped village boasts a number of eye-catching palaces, convents, chapels and churches – all within walking distance of each other. Enjoy free time to wander around and take snaps in the town's atmospheric centre.

Guided wine-tasting tour of three Lanzarote vineyards

Lanzarote's mineral-rich volcanic soils are the key to its excellent wines. This morning tour takes you to three wineries to sample some of their award-winning organic wines. Plus, you'll also visit the Monumento del Campesino to see the famous farmer's monument. Teresa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Our island's wines are the fruit of our ingenuity in harnessing the destruction wrought by Mother Nature into an art – a common thread that weaves together islander and landscape.'After pick-up, you'll head straight for the Monumento del Campesino, designed by legendary Lanzarote architect Cesar Manrique. Built in his trademark style that fused whitewashed structures with volcanic bubbles and exotic plants, it's a joy to explore. Then, it's off to the family-owned Bodega La Geria. Here, vines are shielded from the winds by horseshoe-shaped stone walls, while the humidity retained by the ash helps them grow in this harsh climate. Enjoy a guided tour of the winery and taste some of its prized Malvasia wines.Next, nestled at the base of the Juan Bello volcano, you'll visit Bodega Los Bermejos. This boutique winery is famed for its artisanal approach, crafting exceptional wines from indigenous grape varieties like Malvasía Volcánica and Diego. Rounding off the tour is Bodega Suarez, a charming winery that offers visitors an authentic taste of the island's unique wine culture.

Festive evening tour of Arrecife Christmas Fair and markets

Swap snowflakes for sunbeams this season and gift yourself a sun-kissed adventure in Arrecife – Lanzarote's bite-sized capital. Despite the balmy temperatures, you'll feel fully festive on this evening trip to Navilan, Arrecife's Christmas fair, complete with rides, market stalls and cozy fire pits. Ana, one of our local guides, says “it's the most wonderful time of the year in Lanzarote.

Ride the 32-meter-high Ferris wheel to get your bearings and nab a picture of Arrecife bathed in the glow of twinkling Christmas lights.

With the scent of roasted chestnuts in the air, follow your nose to the traditional Christmas market. 22 stalls are brimming with festive favourites, from handmade crafts, decorations and gifts to locally produced cheeses, jams and wines. Ana adds “nothing says Christmas like a roaring fire, so make sure you take a moment to cozy up by the fire pit, grab some marshmallows to toast and maybe a hot chocolate or mulled wine.” After you've had your fill of Christmas cheer, you'll meet up with your guide and jingle all the way back to your hotel in Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen.
