This is a NOT TO BE MISSED exciting trip when visiting Lanzarote. The landscape within Tamanfaya National Park is truly a sight you will rarely see elsewhere. Tons and tons of rock and ash which spewed out of volcanic eruptions within the last 250 years or so and deposited over huge areas of Lanzarote, with the areas within the park... More

Hired a car and stopped at the Timanfaya Information Centre which was interesting with some good displays. Asked the staff and they recommended a walk nearby, just outside the park bounderies as you are not allowed to walk in the park other than few select guided areas. The walk was lovely but unfortunately took me a bit longer than I... More

We went to the national park through a trip from First Choice, the national park is beautiful, stunning landscapes and scenery. We had a quick drink in the restaurant there which was pleasant and you can see the different demonstrations of the heat beneath the ground, which they also use to cook food! Also did a camel ride which was... More

The bus tour of the park was outstanding. The bus ride is included in the admission (9 Euro per adult) and is the only way to tour the volcanoes. The terrain and geology vary throughout the trip and is impressive. Don't forget to take a camel ride as well while you are there. Our bus was wheel chair accessible.

The only down side was the sweat box of a bus that took us on the drive around the cones. It great when they throw scrub into a pit and it bursts into flames...and the geysers are amusing. We also went on the camel ride, but be warned the camels can be over friendly. Make sure you use sun cream... More

Just like beeing in the moon or in mars. Is an esceptional visit to see how it´s a land after a volcano eruption. see all the colours, soil, and sand, in every corner of the park You nlu can get into the park by car, and then you shoul park, in the visitor centre. To go through the round of... More

Went to lazarote for a week in march, such a lovely island, so my daughter and myself wanted to see more. Timanfaya national park is like the eighth wonder of the world, travelling by coach gives you a chance to see the magnificent sights of lazarote volcanos, the colours against the blue skies are fab. Beneath the volcanos which have... More

A really good couple of hours and great value at 9€ per adult (7€ per child I think). The landscape is unbelievable, and your entry price gets you a free tour on a coach... not for the faint-hearted since the road around the park is very narrow and winding. Good news is that only the coaches get to use it,... More
