The trek was very informative. Sabrina pointed out and explained curious geological formations and their colors along the walk. I’m glad I took the walk toward the beginning of the trip because I could understood more of the landscape of the island afterwards. There is some walking uphill so some fitness is required.

    It was myself and my daughter, we were there from England for a long weekend. We are so glad that we did the volcano trek, so we could actually walk 8 kms, through different parts of the volcano. We could see the vegetation, very different. Our guide Alejandro was excellent! He stopped from time to time, to tell us about things and as a result if anyone was tired, it would be a small break as well. The trail was beautiful, if you've not walked on a volcano, well worth it. We learn about the stones, how they were formed etc. Really interesting and good exercise with scenic view.

    The trip was amazing, Ula, the tour guide, was very friendly and easy to talk to. She was very knowledgeable about the history of volcanoes, paced the walk to suit everyone. The scenery was breathtaking and being able to get up close with the lava flows was great. I honestly couldn't recommend this tour company and guide any more highly.

    Great walking tour

    Susanna, Apr 2025
    Really informative tour. Our guide was Alejandro who was excellent. He gave good information about the volcanic landscape and Lanzarote. Walking pace was adjusted to the ability of the whole group. It was also great that the group is small. We really enjoyed the trek, thought it was good value for money and would recommend.

    Volcanic walk

    Anne_S, Mar 2025
    Pick up was very prompt at our hotel. Not having our own transport it was so much easier than trying to walk in the landscape by our own means. Nice pace of walking and easy to be with small group. Our guide was relaxed and informative.

    Fabulous Trek made by Sabrina x

    Sabra_D, Feb 2025
    - Alejandro is very experienced and speaks very good English and is happy to answer questions - Absolutely beautiful unique landscape and photo opportunities - Water and snacks and pickup are included - Fairly easy walk apart from a few hills. Overall I really enjoyed it and the highlight for was walking around the rim at the top of the volcano.

    Unforgettable experience
