Spend four hours on a shared or private catamaran from Puerto Calero to El Barranco del Quiquere—swimming, snorkeling, SUPing and riding a banana boat with snacks, local cheese and sangria included. This family-friendly cruise blends volcanic coastline scenery with easy water-sport options and practical comforts.

The catamaran eases out of Puerto Calero with the Atlantic laid out like a slow-moving map. Wind fills the sails, the hull hums, and the coastline of southern Lanzarote slips past—black lava cliffs, pale beaches, and the bright white of scattered houses—until the boat drops anchor in the crescent of El Barranco del Quiquere. Here the sea changes tone, from deep cobalt to a clean, translucent teal that dares you to jump in.
