Timanfaya Express | Visit Timanfaya Without the Hassle

Timanfaya Express: Discover the Fire Mountains Without the Hassle

Are you travelling independently in a rental car or arriving in Lanzarote on a cruise ship and haven't managed to get a ticket for Timanfaya? Don't miss the chance to experience one of the island's most spectacular volcanic landscapes.

Timanfaya Express is designed especially for independent travellers who want to visit the Fire Mountains without having to drive into the park themselves.

We meet in Yaiza, next to the church, where there are convenient parking options nearby for you to leave your rental car. Once you have booked your excursion, we will send you the exact meeting point and GPS location, so finding us is easy.

From there, simply leave your car, board our bus and get ready to discover the extraordinary volcanic landscape of Timanfaya National Park.

After the visit, we will take you back to the meeting point in Yaiza, allowing you to collect your car and continue exploring Lanzarote independently.

An easy way to visit Timanfaya

Visiting Timanfaya independently can be difficult on busy days, particularly if you have not been able to arrange your admission in advance.

With Timanfaya Express, you can leave the driving to us and enjoy the visit comfortably by bus, accompanied by a local guide.

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

Islote de Hilario: Feel the Power Beneath the Earth

Our visit takes us to Islote de Hilario, where you can experience the remarkable geothermal activity that still exists beneath the surface of Timanfaya.

Through live demonstrations, you will discover just how powerful the heat beneath the volcanic landscape remains. It is a fascinating introduction to the volcanic nature of Lanzarote.

El Diablo Restaurant: Cooking with Volcanic Heat

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

Its famous volcanic oven uses natural heat from beneath the earth to cook food. The building itself is another example of Manrique's ability to integrate architecture into Lanzarote's extraordinary volcanic landscape.

The Volcanoes Route: Through the Heart of Timanfaya

One of the highlights of the experience is the Volcanoes Route, a spectacular bus journey through the protected volcanic landscape.

The route takes us between volcanic craters, cones and extensive lava fields, offering a unique perspective of the landscape created by Lanzarote's historic eruptions.

This protected area cannot be explored freely by private vehicles, making the bus journey an essential part of the Timanfaya experience.

Your Timanfaya Visit, Then Back to Your Own Adventure

The great advantage of Timanfaya Express is that it fits perfectly into an independent Lanzarote itinerary.

Once the visit is over, we return to Yaiza, where you can collect your car and continue exploring the island at your own pace.

It is also an excellent option for cruise passengers who have limited time and want to experience Timanfaya without committing to a full-day island tour.
