Full description

Built for cruise schedules, this trip starts and ends at the port in Arrecife. The first stop is Timanfaya National Park, where the park route crosses craters and lava fields left by the eruptions of the 1730s.

You then continue to the west coast and El Golfo, where half of an old crater has been eaten away by the sea and a lagoon coloured green by algae sits behind a black beach. Timings are planned around your ship’s schedule, which you share with us when you enquire.
