Things to do

Lanzarote is renowned for its volcanic mountains so a visit to the volcanoes of ‘Fire Mountain’ is an absolute must to see the best of the island’s landscapes. The area was declared a national park in 1968 and today remains a fantastic excursion for visitors. You’re taken up the mountain on a camel, which is an experience in itself. At the top of the mountain there’s amazing views all around of the volcanic landscapes, and if that isn’t enough, a restaurant called El Diablo is situated right at the very top serving fish and meat that is actually cooked from the volcano itself. If trekking up mountains is not your thing, then head to Playas de Papagayo, home to the most beautiful beaches on the island, where crystal blue waters lap the shore and high cliffs shelter peaceful bays. Package holidays in Lanzarote certainly have plenty to offer.
