Walk It: Explore Lanzarote on Foot at Your Own Pace

If walking is your way to unwind, this self-guided, hike-and-drive holiday offers the perfect blend of active exploration and total flexibility. You'll discover Lanzarote's many faces, from the moonlike terrain of Timanfaya National Park, to the lush Valley of a Thousand Palms and the spectacular summit of Peñas del Chache.

A highlight is a ferry trip to La Graciosa, the smallest and quietest of the Canary Islands - virtually car-free and laced with sandy tracks and quiet beaches.

With daily walks of 3–5 hours and the freedom to choose your route, this is a brilliant option for those who like to set their own pace, while still ticking off the island’s standout sights.

Best for: Independent walkers, couples and those looking for flexibility with all logistics handled.

Bike It: Discover Lanzarote’s Wild Beauty on Two Wheels

If you’d rather explore on two wheels, this self-guided cycling holiday gives you full control over your route and rhythm with bike hire, luggage transfers and accommodation all arranged for you.

Choose from a variety of scenic rides each day: cruise through La Geria’s surreal vineyards, climb to hilltop villages like Haría and cycle the smooth roads that cut through Timanfaya’s blackened volcanic plains. There’s even time to admire the artistry of César Manrique, whose creative legacy is woven into Lanzarote’s cultural fabric.

Ride lengths vary from 30–70km with optional rest days and with e-bike upgrades available, you don’t need to be a Tour de France contender to enjoy it!

Best for: Leisure cyclists, food and wine lovers and anyone wanting a sun-drenched riding challenge without the group structure.

Or Do Both: The Ultimate Guided Combo

The cycling is made easy and enjoyable with e-bikes provided, meaning everyone can enjoy the climbs and coastlines without the strain. With visits to La Graciosa, Teguise and César Manrique’s sites built in, this is a relaxed, well-rounded adventure ideal for friends, couples or solo travellers.

Best for: Adventurers who want variety, sociable group travel and low-effort high-reward cycling.
