WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE LANZAROTE SCENIC HIGHLIGHTS TOUR – APPROX. 5 HOURS

Timanfaya National Park

Your tour begins with a scenic drive to Timanfaya National Park, one of Lanzarote’s most famous attractions. Created by a series of volcanic eruptions during the 18th century, Timanfaya is home to vast lava fields, volcanic cones and dramatic landscapes unlike anywhere else in Europe. The black lava flows and colourful volcanic hills create a unique volcanic scenery.

As you travel through the park, you will see volcanic craters, solidified lava rivers and unique rock formations created by the powerful eruptions that transformed Lanzarote centuries ago. The views across this remarkable landscape are among the most spectacular on the island.

Timanfaya National Park is one of Lanzarote’s most accessible attractions for visitors with reduced mobility. You will experience the Route of the Volcanoes aboard the official park bus, with adapted vehicles available for wheelchair users and guests with reduced mobility. This allows you to enjoy the spectacular volcanic landscapes comfortably, with minimal walking required.

At the main visitor area, you will find accessible parking spaces and adapted restroom facilities. Walking and rolling distances are limited and mainly on paved surfaces. As visitor access to the park is controlled and visits operate on a scheduled system, you are advised to arrive on time to ensure a smooth entry and full enjoyment of your visit.

Las Salinas de Janubio

Leaving Timanfaya behind, you continue to Las Salinas de Janubio, the largest salt production facility in the Canary Islands.

Set beside the Atlantic Ocean, the salt flats create a striking landscape of colorful salt ponds surrounded by volcanic scenery. The contrast between the white salt, dark volcanic terrain and deep blue ocean makes this one of Lanzarote’s most photographed locations.

Here, you can learn about the traditional process of harvesting sea salt, which has been practiced for generations. You also have the opportunity to taste the locally produced rock salt and view a variety of locally made products.

The location offers beautiful views across Janubio Beach, the Atlantic coastline and the surrounding volcanic landscape.

The salt pans can be viewed from designated visitor areas without needing to walk through the production fields. The terrain around the actual salt ponds is uneven and not suitable for wheelchairs, but sightseeing is possible from accessible viewing areas.

Scenic Drive Through Yaiza

The tour continues through the charming village of Yaiza, often considered one of the most beautiful villages in Lanzarote. Known for its whitewashed houses, colourful gardens, palm trees and traditional Canarian architecture, Yaiza provides a wonderful glimpse into local island life. The village is surrounded by volcanic scenery, creating a beautiful contrast between traditional architecture and Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape.

This part of the tour is enjoyed from the comfort of the adapted vehicle while travelling through the village’s picturesque streets.

La Geria Wine Region & Local Bodega Visit

Next, the tour heads into La Geria, Lanzarote’s world-famous wine region.

This remarkable landscape is unlike any other wine-growing area in the world. Following the volcanic eruptions, local farmers developed a unique method of growing grapes by planting each vine in a hollow dug into the volcanic ash and protecting it with a semi-circular stone wall. The result is a landscape covered with hundreds of small green vines spread across black volcanic soil, creating one of the island’s most distinctive and beautiful sights.

During your visit to a local bodega, you will learn more about this unique winemaking tradition and discover how local wines are produced. There will be free time to explore the winery, purchase local products and sample some of the region’s wines.

Return to the Cruise Ship

Following your visit to La Geria, enjoy a relaxing drive back to the cruise port.

Along the way, there are further opportunities to admire Lanzarote’s volcanic scenery, traditional villages and coastal views before arriving back at the original meeting point, where the tour comes to an end.
