There's no better activity than to explore Lanzarote and see all the wonderful things the island has to offer. The island is divided into two parts: the North and the South and they have a huge contrast in terms of attractions and different things to see, it would be best to see both sides if you can. The most sought-out attraction is Timanfaya National Park, whilst in the North of Lanzarote, it is Jameos Del Agua. The Timanfaya Lanzarote Grand tour lets you see the whole island in just one day! Ideal if you want to plan for one-day sightseeing.
The Grand Tour of Lanzarote
Taking in all the Sights and attractions is one of the most popular things to do in Lanzarote, the island has some of the most breathtaking landscapes, views, and places to see and of course is home to the luna landscape itself Timanfaya National Park, and the great works of Cesar Manrique. Holidays are not just about this for a lot of us so if you just want to set aside one day to explore then out of all the Lanzarote tours on offer the Timanfaya Lanzarote Grand Tour will allow you to see the whole island from South to North in one day.
Tour the North and South of Lanzarote
If you have more time to spare then we most definitely would recommend you take the Lanzarote volcano South tour. This takes you not just to Timanfaya but through the rest of South Lanzarote as well. You can also choose to take the North tour and Jameos Del Agua Tour so you can see more of Lanzarote! You can choose to see the island on just a typical Lanzarote tour with an English speaking guide or you can go the adventurous route and go on the 4 x 4 North tour and the 4 x 4 South tour. Definitely a more fun way of exploring!
Short and sweet things to do in Lanzarote
We get it, with so many things to pack into your holiday and so much pool, beach and relaxing you may not want to spend much time exploring. That's why there is a short south tour. Timanfaya National park being is the most famous of the Lanzarote attractions so the Lanzarote Volcano Short South Tour is an ideal way to see Timanfaya, El Golfo, the Lanzarote camels, and be back for lunch.
Lanzarote Attractions and other exciting things to see and do in Lanzarote
With so many Lanzarote attractions and parks that should be included in your itinerary, it can get hard to choose. If you'd like to go on slides or chill by the pools, Lanzarote waterparks like Aquapark Costa Teguise and the Playa Blanca waterpark Aqua Lava are the perfect spots to visit. If you're interested in seeing amazing animals, sea lion shows, dolphin shows, bird of prey shows and a huge splash and waterslide area, then you should visit the Rancho Texas animal and splash park. The place gives you a fun day with some of the best things to do in Lanzarote.
Rancho Texas Lanzarote - The number one thing to do in Lanzarote
Rancho Texas has just got bigger and better every year, of course during 2020/2021 it was closed but during this time they put their efforts into making Rancho Texas probably the number one on the list of things to do Lanzarote. Not only is the park huge, but it's also so well kept too and has an array of animals. There is everything from white tigers, penguins, birds of prey, and even sea lions and dolphins. You can even make the most of your day at Rancho texas and interact with the dolphins and you can also swim and play with the amazing sea lions.Timanfaya National Park a must on your list of things to do in Lanzarote
You wouldn't go to Egypt and not see the Pyramids so you cannot come to Lanzarote and not see the famous Timanfaya National Park and live Lanzarote Volcanoes. Know as many names, El Diablo (The devil), and Fire Mountain. With many ways to see Timanfaya we really do stress that taking a tour is the better option. Not only do you get a guide but in peak season those with hire cars are in traffic for miles waiting to get it while all the buses drive past. Dont be the stressed person sat in a hot car, go straight in on a fully air-conditioned coach. In Timanfaya you will see all demonstrations of the elements and even see food cooking over the volcanic heat. The views and spectacular also. There are many ways to tour this beautiful place, just visit our Timanfaya national park page and book there.
Waterparks in Lanzarote
On everyone's list of things to do there is always visiting a waterpark, there are two waterparks in Lanzarote to choose from. Whilst, not the biggest in the world they are certainly one of the greatest things to do in Lanzarote to spend a day. Both Lanzarote waterparks offer a bus service to get you there. Unless you are in Playa Blanca and visiting the Playa Blanca waterpark Aqua Lava then you can go direct and get your tickets here with us to avoid any long waits at the gate. Likewise, if you are staying in Costa Teguise then you can also get the Aquapark Costa Teguise without the bus service and get tickets to whizz through and have more time.

A breakdown of things to do in Lanzarote by resorts
So wherever you are staying in Lanzarote it most likely is in one of the three main resorts Puerto Del Carmen, Costa Teguise or Playa Blanca and some in the capital Arrecife. Sure many will be staying out of these resorts but for booking excursions with a pick up all of them only pick up from these four main areas. Anything else is considered residential or rural so buses cannot get there and can you imagine all the private rentals on the island and Lanzarote excursions picking people up from all of them. The day would just be pickups, therefore there are set pick up points and times in these main resorts.
All excursions in Lanzarote will pick up from these resorts but let's look at the main things to do by area.
Things to do in Playa Blanca Lanzarote
Playa Blanca is the newest of resorts really and is where some of the largest hotels on the island are, so many people stay in the hotels as they cater for everything but it is great to get out and see things. There are plenty of walks and a huge promenade that stretched the whole resort and with beautiful views all the way. It is a coastal walk and to get from one end Papagayo to the other, the Playa Blanca lighthouse will probably take you about 2 to 3 hours.
Playa Blanca is also home to Aqualava waterpark so you can book your ticket with us and head there yourselves to skip the line and spend the day splashing around and enjoying all of the slides and rides. Also in Playa Blanca, there are many bars and restaurants some of the best are in the main town along the seafront and you have everything from typical Canaria food, Italian, Chinese and India. In fact, you have everything, the main nightlife happens in the Papagayo centre where you will find many fun pubs and clubs to enjoy. For a more glamourous night out and a show, we highly recommend the Oceans Royale dinner and show and they pick up from Playa Blanca too.
