Everything you should know before you book
Lanzarote rewards a mix of fire and water: the Timanfaya volcanoes and lava tubes inland, the calm south-coast marinas for cruising and water sports, and the car-free island of La Graciosa a short ferry north. This ranking pulls the island's highest-rated bookable experiences so you can build a shortlist fast.
Book the boat trips and Timanfaya excursions ahead. Ferries to La Graciosa from Órzola and morning catamaran sailings fill on calm summer days, and volcano tours leave early. Everything below is bookable with instant confirmation and, on most options, free cancellation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the number one thing to do in Lanzarote?
Timanfaya National Park is the essential first stop, but a La Graciosa ferry trip and a dolphin or catamaran cruise round out the classic Lanzarote experience. This list ranks them all by traveller reviews.
How many days do you need in Lanzarote?
Two days covers the volcanoes and the south coast; three lets you add a La Graciosa or Fuerteventura island day trip. See our 2- and 3-day Lanzarote itineraries.
Is Lanzarote good for a first-time Canaries visit?
Yes — it's compact, easy to get around, and packs volcanic landscapes, beaches, water sports, and a nearby island trip into a small area.
