Timanfaya Express: Timanfaya National Park Tour

10.0(3 reviews)Approx. 3 hoursUp to 55 peopleSpanish, English, German

Discover one of Lanzarote’s most impressive volcanic landscapes with Timanfaya Express, an easy and convenient way to visit Timanfaya National Park and the Fire Mountains.

The meeting point is in Yaiza, near the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios. If you are exploring Lanzarote by car, you can park nearby and continue the excursion with us by bus.

From Yaiza, we will travel to Timanfaya National Park, where you will discover the Fire Mountains, see the geothermal demonstrations at Islote de Hilario and travel along the spectacular Route of the Volcanoes, surrounded by craters, lava fields and some of Lanzarote’s most extraordinary volcanic landscapes.

At the end of the visit, we will return to the same meeting point in Yaiza, so you can continue exploring the island at your own pace.

An easy way to visit Timanfaya

Timanfaya is one of Lanzarote’s must-see places and one of the island’s most spectacular volcanic landscapes.

With Timanfaya Express, you can discover the Fire Mountains comfortably by bus and enjoy the visit accompanied by our team.

The experience includes some of the highlights of Timanfaya National Park: the geothermal demonstrations at Islote de Hilario, the area around El Diablo Restaurant and the spectacular Route of the Volcanoes.

Islote de Hilario: feel the power of the volcano

Our visit takes us to Islote de Hilario, where you can watch the fascinating geothermal demonstrations that reveal the intense heat still present beneath the surface of Timanfaya.

These demonstrations offer an impressive insight into the geothermal activity that remains in this area and are the perfect introduction to Lanzarote’s extraordinary volcanic landscape.

El Diablo: cooking with the heat of the earth

At Islote de Hilario you will also find El Diablo Restaurant, designed by César Manrique.

Its famous oven uses natural geothermal heat from beneath the volcanic ground for cooking. The restaurant’s unique architecture also offers impressive views over the landscape of the Fire Mountains.

Route of the Volcanoes: the heart of Timanfaya

One of the highlights of the experience is the Route of the Volcanoes, a panoramic bus journey through Timanfaya’s extraordinary protected volcanic landscape.

Along the route, you will travel through a spectacular scenery of craters, volcanic cones and vast lava fields in an area where access is regulated and which cannot be explored freely in a private vehicle.

This journey offers a close-up view of the scale and power of the volcanic landscapes created by the eruptions that transformed Lanzarote.

After Timanfaya, continue your adventure

One of the advantages of Timanfaya Express is that it is especially convenient for travellers exploring Lanzarote independently who want to spend a few hours discovering one of the island’s essential sights.

At the end of the excursion, we will return to the meeting point in Yaiza, where you can collect your vehicle and continue exploring Lanzarote at your own pace.

  • “Al llegar al Lanzarote y durante el primer día y nuestro error estrepitoso de intentar visitar la isla con transporte publico (muy pocos horarios) y en una de esas largas esperas contratamos una excursión para el día siguiente (todo muy expres) pero nos valió la pena. Fueron muy amables. Al día siguiente a las 8 nos estaban esperando en la puerta del…”
