Explore Timanfaya, El Golfo, Green Lake, La Geria, and Lanzarote’s volcanoes on a practical seven-hour guided tour.
“The tour was an amazing experience. Antonio and the driver Melvin were really nice and made the tour extremely fun! Prior to this with my partner we spent a lot of time finding the right tour as we could see a lot of options, but it definitely felt 100% the best and right to pick this one: always had enough time and felt relaxed, visited the amazing Green Lagoon as well, and the food was really good. Antonio has it planned so well. I wish we had time in the Timanfaya restaurant too for a drink or desert to have it even more amazing, but I am being picky here…”

“A very special and incredible day out. I booked last minute and the team were still able to pick me up in the early morning and have me on the tour. The guides were so friendly and welcoming, Sergio having so much knowledge, interest and passion to share about the national park. I learnt so much and was so inspired to learn more and do more national park tourism. We saw some beautiful animals and birds and insects along the journey, seeing a very special part of Spain. Thank you !”

Review of Tenerife’s 3.5-hour Teide buggy tour, with volcanic views, guide tips, family rules, pricing, cold-weather advice, and practical details.
“My partner and I really enjoyed the buggy tour. We looked at the 4-wheeler tours, but we decided to pay the extra money for the buggy because we both wanted to be comfortable sitting for a few hours. It was definitely worth the money too. Javier was an excellent guide as well and took pictures of us and the other groups throughout the tour. We stopped a few times and he told us about some of the history of Tenerife and the volcano. Highly recommend doing the buggy tour!!”
