4.7/5
3,436 reviews on GetYourGuide

It is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3,436 GetYourGuide reviewers. The one thing to know: the from price is the version without entry tickets, so pick the option with the sights you want to go inside.
Starts in or picks up fromPlaya BlancaPuerto del CarmenCosta TeguiseArrecife
The day starts with a pick-up in Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise, Arrecife or Playa Honda. The operator sends the exact stop and time by WhatsApp around 3pm the day before, and it is not always at your hotel. The coach heads north first.
The morning is spent underground and on the cliffs. You get about an hour in the Cueva de los Verdes, a lava tube you walk through, and another hour at Jameos del Agua, the cave with a garden and lake inside. Then comes a short stop at the Mirador de Guinate for the view across to La Graciosa, and Haría, the valley of a thousand palms, where there is usually free time for lunch on your own.
After a La Geria wine tasting from a local producer, the afternoon belongs to Timanfaya National Park. You stop at Islote de Hilario for the geothermal demonstrations, then follow the Volcano Route through the lava fields. An optional camel ride costs extra. The day ends on the west coast at the Mirador del Charco de los Clicos, the viewpoint over El Golfo’s green lagoon, before the drive back.
The operator handles the coach, the guide and, on the ticketed options, entry with a separate fast-track entrance. You choose between four versions: no tickets, Timanfaya and Jameos del Agua, Timanfaya and Cueva de los Verdes, or all three. Wear comfortable shoes for the caves.

This is the cheapest full day on the site that covers both ends of the island, and the most reviewed by a distance. The half-day Timanfaya and La Geria tour is the better pick if you only care about the volcanoes or do not want nine hours on a coach. The César Manrique tour suits readers who want the artist’s houses and gardens rather than the national park.
You could drive the same circuit yourself, but parking at the caves and timed access inside Timanfaya make one day tight. Here the route and tickets are arranged for you, which is the point of a coach day.
