History
The Ajaches massif is the oldest formation on Lanzarote and coastal routes trace lava flows and erosion that shaped the island’s black-sand beaches and protected coves.
Conservation
Operators follow local guidelines to avoid chasing or feeding wildlife; maintain distance, minimize noise and pack out plastics to reduce disturbance to marine habitats.

Dress in layers
Evening sea air cools fast—bring a windbreaker provided by the operator and a warm mid-layer to stay comfortable.
Bring motion-sickness protection
If you’re sensitive to rolling swells, take medication or use wrist bands before departure; the boat is fast and can be bumpy.
Secure cameras and phones
Use a strap or dry bag—quick dolphin passes reward preparedness and you’ll want both hands free for balance.
Respect wildlife distance
Let guides position the boat; do not attempt to touch or feed dolphins to keep animals wild and tours sustainable.
Windbreaker or light waterproof jacket
Protects against spray and cooling evening winds; operators may provide a windbreaker.
Non-slip deck shoes or closed-toe sneakers
Good footing for boarding and moving on a wet deck.
Binoculars
Helps pick out distant pods and observe marine behavior without crowding the animals.
Sunscreen and hat
Late sun can still burn; UV reflects off the sea even near sunset.
