Grand Tour starts off at Los Hevideros, where the caves, the coastline, and the beautiful rock formations are the stars. Next stop is El Golfo, which is the famous crater filled with vivid emerald green seawater, which is one of nature’s amazing spectacles. You then get to see the fire mountain at Timanfaya National Park, which is where you get to watch extraordinary geothermal experiments.
The other note-worthy stops in the tour include the quaint village of Macher Blanca, the wine region of La Geria, and Cesar Manrique’s impressive creation, Jameos del Aqua.
I Love Graciosa
Sea excursions abound in Lanzarote, which offer you an amazing experience out in the Atlantic Ocean, either relaxing in secluded coves or looking out for lovely creatures such as whales and dolphins. If you want to explore other beach destinations in the island, try the I Love Graciosa catamaran tour, which is a five-hour luxury catamaran cruise filled with fun water activities ideal for the whole family.
Here you’ll cruise along Lanzarote’s picturesque coastline all the way to La Graciosa aboard a three-storey glass bottom catamaran.

Of course, family fun won’t be complete without a visit to animal parks. One of the Lanzarote attractions that’s sought after by families is a day tour to Rancho Texas Park. Here, you not only see different animals but also watch them perform in shows.
