Dive into a full-day volcanic adventure with Tour2B’s Gran Tour Lanzarote, from fiery mountain landscapes to underground lava caves and unique local wines.
Lanzarote, just a short ferry ride from Gran Canaria, offers some of the Canary Islands’ most striking and otherworldly landscapes—ideal for travelers who want a single-day dive into volcanic terrain and local culture. Tour2B, based in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, offers the Gran Tour Lanzarote, a meticulously crafted day trip that covers must-see natural and historical highlights. This expedition focuses on a blend of geological wonders and regional heritage—from the scorched expanses of Timanfaya National Park to the surreal underground caverns at Jameos del Agua.
Timanfaya National Park is a volcanic zone carved out by eruptions in the 18th century, where the “Fire Mountains” still simmer beneath the surface. Visitors can witness geothermal demonstrations that reveal the earth’s latent heat—steam bursts and cooking spots that turn the soil into a natural oven. This isn’t just a sightseeing tour; it’s a chance to understand Lanzarote’s raw volcanic power and how the local community thrives around it.
Another highlight of the trip is the Jameos del Agua, a natural lava cave transformed by artist César Manrique into a unique cultural venue that merges architecture with nature. Here, you’ll find an ethereal underground lagoon, volcanic formations, and a delicate ecosystem housing rare blind crabs.
The tour also includes a wine tasting session in La Geria, where vineyards cling to the black volcanic soil, sculpted into almost lunar landscapes. The indigenous Malvasía grapes produce distinctive wines shaped by this harsh environment.
Tour2B’s Gran Tour Lanzarote stands out because it offers an immersive, well-paced introduction to the island’s extraordinary environment from a base in Gran Canaria. This makes it perfect for travelers wanting to complement beach time with a journey into volcanic wilderness, all accompanied by knowledgeable guides who connect you to the island’s deep-rooted geology and culture.
The volcanic terrain is uneven and rocky; comfortable hiking shoes help maintain grip and avoid injury.
The volcanic areas provide little shade, so sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are crucial, especially in summer.
Carry water as excursions include outdoor walking in arid, dry landscapes where dehydration risk is high.
The Fire Mountains and lava caves offer rare photo ops—packing a camera is a must to capture these surreal sites.
Timanfaya’s volcanic eruptions between 1730 and 1736 shaped Lanzarote’s current landscape and led to establishment of the National Park in 1974.
