    Es un poco royo que sea simultáneamente en ingles y en español. La visita es interesante pero el precio es caro. La relacion calidad/precio es baja. La degustación es un poco chunga, directamente en el Almacén, con la gente sentada en los palets, etc. Por 22 € la clientela se merece algo mejor.

    I booked this tour through the Tui app. But the option I booked was for a Lanzarote resident. I therefore had to pay extra on the door. I don't think Tui should have even offered the Lanzarote resident option. Also, I was a bit surprised that we had to find our own way to the Salinas. We had expected a transfer from the hotel to be part of the experience.

    Die Führung war fast privat, das war prima. Alle Fragen konnten gestellt und beantwortet werden. Eine Weinprobe gab es nicht, zur Verkostung der Salze wurde Wasser bzw. Weißwein als Getränk angeboten.

    Een aanrader deze rondleiding. Ruim 1,5 uur word je meegenomen langs de zoutwinbedden. Tijdens de tour leer je veel over t proces van zout winning, krijg je echt alles te zien en mag ook nog zout proeven aan t einde van de rondleiding. Vriendelijke gids die alle tijd nam om de vragen te beantwoorden. Deze excursie is zo veel meer dan de bus die er alleen even stopt voor een foto. Eigen vervoer nodig, maar de Salinas zijn makkelijk te bereiken.

    The information was insightful. And it was nice to see the land. Unfortunately, I had to hire a taxi because transportation wasn’t included and I didn’t have a car.

    Wir kannten die Salzmine vom Vorbeifahren. Durch die freundliche Führung konnten wir sehen, wie das Salz früher und heute produziert wird. Dies war sehr beeindruckenden. Die Salzprobe mit Wein und zum Abschluss ein kleines Geschenk haben den Besuch abgerundet. Vielen Dank.

Lanzarote tour with Timanfaya National Park and Jameos del Agua

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. Follow the famous Lunar Route and explore lava fields, volcano craters and steaming geysers as you learn about why the whole island has achieved this special UNESCO-listed status. Then, experience it up close as you feel the heat beneath your feet and witness brushwood burn into flames.

Cesar Manrique’s Lanzarote tour with cactus garden and LagOmar

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.

Guided wine-tasting tour of three Lanzarote vineyards

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. Here, you'll indulge in the perfect pairing of cheese with two wines.
