Lanzarote Shore Excursions

If you are arriving in Lanzarote on a cruise, you should not miss the opportunity to discover our island. Lanzarote is a true open-air theme park, offering breathtaking natural landscapes, from black sand beaches to dramatic cliffs and volcanic formations that will leave you speechless. It is also well worth exploring its rich cultural heritage, with the works of the renowned local artist César Manrique transforming the island into a stunning work of art. Enjoy the delicious local cuisine, browse traditional markets and explore charming villages. And of course, before leaving Lanzarote, be sure to visit Timanfaya National Park, the island’s main attraction.

OkLanzarote and its partners are not responsible for any incidents during the tour or for any other reason that may cause you to arrive late for the ship’s departure.

Frequently asked questions about cruise excursions

Why are these the best excursions for cruise passengers?

Cruise excursions in Lanzarote are limited by the time spent on the island. We offer excursions with pick-up service in Arrecife. For bus excursions, pick-up is at 8:30 a.m. at the Arrecife Fairground, about 15 minutes from the port by taxi. For buggy tours, pick-up is just a few metres from the port, and the pick-up time and tour schedule vary depending on the day of departure (please contact us before booking this excursion).

For private excursions, schedules can be further adapted, but they are only recommended for groups of more than 30 people.

Where is the pick-up point?

In Lanzarote, cruise ships usually dock at one of two ports when arriving in Arrecife:

• Puerto de los Mármoles, where around 90% of cruise ships dock.
• Puerto de La Boca de Naos.

For coach excursions, the pick-up point is at 8:30 a.m. at the Arrecife Fairground, about 15 minutes by taxi from the ports. For buggy tours, the pick-up point is very close to the ports, and the time varies depending on your booking.

What will I see on cruise excursions?

The main attraction of Lanzarote, the visit to Timanfaya National Park, is guaranteed on cruise excursions. In addition, by booking these tours you will avoid the long queues to access the park, which can reach up to 3 hours during high season.

Olsen Cruise Lines, Costa Crociere, Oceania Cruises Inc., MSC Cruises or Royal Caribbean Group, include port-of-call information on the cruise ticket, which is all you need to book your excursion.
