Boats and the sea
4.6/5
2,168 reviews on GetYourGuide
Book this for a full, sociable day at sea off La Graciosa, the small island off Lanzarote’s northern tip: ferry, free time in the port, then a catamaran with paella, unlimited beer and sangria, swimming, snorkelling and kayaks. It is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 2,168 GetYourGuide reviewers. From the southern resorts the bus ride north is long, so expect an early start.

The day starts with pick-up at the meeting point nearest your accommodation in the main resorts, or you can meet the group at Órzola harbour in the north. From Órzola an express ferry crosses to Caleta del Sebo, La Graciosa’s port, in about 30 minutes, with free Wi-Fi on the way.
You get about 45 minutes in Caleta del Sebo before boarding the catamaran with a welcome mojito. The boat cruises the coast and anchors off French Beach for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking in the marine reserve. Lunch is served on board: paella and fresh fruit, with unlimited draught beer, sangria, soft drinks and water from the bar. A local guide gives commentary along the way.
After about three and three-quarter hours on the water you return with a short stop on La Graciosa, then take the ferry back to Órzola and your transfer. Note that the boat does not land you on the beaches.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and a jacket. Vegetarian and coeliac diets can be catered for with notice.

Ferry back and transfer
It is the leading La Graciosa boat day on GetYourGuide and the one with everything arranged: transfer, ferry, boat, lunch and drinks. If you would rather explore the island on foot or by bike and choose your own beach, the La Graciosa ferry from Órzola costs less than half as much and lets you set your own times, but you need a car or a taxi to reach Órzola.
For a catamaran day without the long drive, the Papagayo catamaran from Puerto Calero sails the south coast instead.
Guiding is in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, with German and Italian guides on request. If you book within 24 hours of departure, the listing says pick-up is not guaranteed and you should go straight to Órzola, so book a few days ahead if you need the transfer.
Checked against the GetYourGuide listing on 15 November 2026. Prices and options change: the calendar shows the current ones.
The listing says pick-up is not available from Playa Blanca on Sundays, Mondays or Wednesdays.
