This was my wifes first visit and my 5th and even after 5 visits i'm still amazed. You can take a coach to the park or hire a car a visit at your leisure. Note there are no public busses that go here. However you do go its well worth a visit. I'm not going to say any more than... More

Emm. I am not taking into account one of the tour buses that broke down nor the heatwave nor the lack of shade up there. Must see attraction, costs 8 Euro and as of May 2012 the exchange rate was 1.24 per one pound so great value. Wanna see Mars or believe you are on the Moon? This place is... More

A fascinating place to visit that is hard to describe in words. You can see the amazing pictures of it but it is something you have to experience yourself! We went with last minute tours and they were very good! It was good value for money, our tour guide was excellent, lots of information and learning (but not too much!),... More

This is a fascinating place that cannot be really imagined. You just have to see it. We hired a taxi from the port to take us to the park, & then caught the bus that takes you right to the volcano. It's amazing to see & feel the heat & to see meat cooking at the restaurant purely from the... More

Stories of the volcanic activity are fascinating particularly the monk who prayed that God would save him - locals say you can see where the lava changed it's course and so his prayer was answered. More

It is a rare opportunity to visit a volcano! You drive in, pay addmission and then park at the restaurant. In the addmission price there is a coach trip included, you wait your turn, hop on and the bus takes you around the volcano. Well worth a visit, well organised, you can taste food cooked on the volcano heat, see... More

Very spectacular scenery. Didn't like the fact that we were all shuttled around in a bus with no options to walk around and take it all in. The restaurant was ok but nothing special. More

If you have never been to Lanzarote before this place is a must, to see a still active volcano. The landscape is much like the moon. You can also eat at the restaurant where food is cooked by the heat of the volcano. Another must is the Manrece foundarion Amazing as Lanzarote was mostly designed by this man before his... More
