FAQs about the Cave tours
Lanzarote caves tour
A visit to the caves is a must among the things to do in Lanzarote and for this reason, it is included in most of our excursions in Lanzarote.
Going on the different excursions to the caves of Lanzarote means discovering some of the most incredible places on this island, which of course is incredible as a whole. We are speaking of visiting the Jameos del Agua or taking a trip to the Cueva de los Verdes, which are included among the many tourist routes through Lanzarote.
Both places are located to the north of the island, and both are very close together and close to the old Corona volcano. In reality, it was an eruption from this volcano that gave birth to these caves. This fact is very important and is something that the guides of these natural monuments, who accompany the groups, always make very clear, so that the visitor knows at all times that they are entering a volcanic tube. But don’t worry, it is not dangerous!
The Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de Verdes tour offers that experience of entering a tube that originated from an explosion of gas from within the volcano’s lava. These magnificent natural spaces were thus created, which even came to be situated below sea level, so the waters of the Atlantic Ocean are filtered here.
In short, with these caves in Lanzarote we offer nothing more than a visit to two of the most unique natural marvels. But there’s still more. The great advantage to coming to these places as part of our Lanzarote excursions is that the guides provide abundant information so that you can enjoy them even more. This is something greatly appreciated in such remote areas as these.
This way we can get to know the Cueva de los Verdes, one of the largest volcanic tubes on the planet, so rugged in appearance and sometimes even claustrophobic. It came to be an ideal shelter for the people of Lanzarote. In its more than 6 kilometres of depth, they sought refuge here when under siege or under attack by pirates.
And combining the visit to the Cueva de los Verdes with the entrance to the Jameos del Agua means a more complete experience, since both places have the same origin but completely different appearances. Why? Because César Manrique intervened in the Jameos del Agua, where he designed an indoor area with pools and an auditorium.
In short, if someone were capable of increasing the beauty of this natural cavity, where there is even a lake inhabited by the iconic jameitos (tiny albino crabs that never see the light of the sun), that would have to be the most illustrious Lanzarote. An artist of international prestige who left some of his most incredible creations on this land, like the Jameos del Agua.
In fact, much of the guided routes through Lanzarote show Manrique’s various works, and in this sense we would also include his construction of the Lagomar House in the cave category. It’s a building that in large part was an excavation into the belly of the earth, such that the house-cave is completely integrated into the landscape, but at the same time it has undeniable architectural value. During a trip to the island, Hollywood actor Omar Sharif saw it, fell in love with the house and bought it. Even though it did not spend much time in his ownership, this house, available on many of our itineraries through Lanzarote, is also known as the House of Omar Sharif.
In short, the guided tours of Lanzarote are always dominated by two factors. On the one hand is the island’s volcanic origin, and on the other, the works of César Manrique. Both elements are joined together on the visits to the caves of Lanzarote.
Nothing bad to say, only compliments. The guides were nice to the entire group and the views were the best. A great day.
César Manrique is a tremendous artist. If everything we have seen has come from his hands and his head, it does not seem strange that the entire island adores him.
If it’s not the most complete tour, it has to be one of the most complete. We toured the most emblematic places around the entire island. It’s difficult to find a trip of this kind that is so good and full of things to see.
I had already heard a lot about him before going to the island, and I have to say that I was very impressed by all of his works, the best of which was Jameos del Agua without a doubt.
A short and comfortable route to visit the Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos. Although we thought about renting a car for the tour, in the end, we decided to book this tour for convenience. We didn’t have to wait to enter the sites, we didn’t need to rent a car, and the guide was very friendly and provided a lot of interesting information.
Worth it. I went with my husband and two teenage children, and I didn’t want to do a full-day tour to avoid tiring them too much. We booked the Timanfaya tour separately from this one so it wouldn’t be too burdensome for the kids and to give us time in both tours to have breakfast and lunch at the hotel.
Impressive sites. In addition to the two tour gems, Jameos and the Cueva de los Verdes, the Las Nieves viewpoint and the Valley of a Thousand Palms were very beautiful.
I wanted something more than beaches and more beaches, and I found it with this excursion. I recommend it.
A short but unforgettable holiday. It’s the first time that I’ve visited Lanzarote and I will definitely return. I was there for just a few days but it was very nice to visit the important places and to get a general overview of Lanzarote.
Spectacular. I loved the Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos. I don’t know if I should reveal the cave’s secret in the comments, hahaha.
