Hi all,

I’m coming over to Lanzarote for the first time since 2018, with my girlfriend, we’re mid 20s/30s.

We’re staying at the Sol Lanzarote in Matagorda. I’m wondering what activities there is to do in Puerto Del Carmen or somewhere else nearby. Something like Jet Skiing, boat outings, best places to eat, best bars, not into clubbing lol.

First time I went to Lanzarote was as a child in 1996 and I remember going up the volcano on the camels, I’d love to do that again if it’s still a thing or just anything with animals.

Any recommendations welcome.

Hola, soy una chica que vive en el País Vasco y estoy pensando ir de vacaciones en octubre a Lanzarote. Me pasa que no se si ir por temas de lo de tourist go home, porque no quiero formar parte de lo que empeora la calidad de vida de las personas de la zona. Por ende, me gustaría, en caso de ir, ser una turista responsable y tener en cuenta las necesidades de los residentes. Cualquier recomendación y opinión sobre el tema se agradece mucho.

I’m looking for a short bus tour to places like the national park and volcanoes etc but all I can find are trips for like 5 hours. Is there any short tours like 1 hour or so from Puerto del Carmen? TIA

Staying at Playa Blanca in January

First holiday with newborn and hotel is all inclusive and ticks the boxes for our first trip

However, id rather eat out when we can but want suggestions for traditional and local food that is recommended please

33F going to PDC for solo holiday in October, any advice or recommendations? 😁

Hello everyone,

Any idea for where in Costa Teguise we can rent a car as a young driver with recent license?

And if that doesn’t work any alternatives for touring around the island? Bikes, buses, agencies?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable car rental company in Lanzarote for 15–21 August, picking up and returning at Lanzarote Airport if possible, if not i can use a cab on afirst day, not important

Unfortunately, Autoreisen and CICAR are already fully booked for those dates. I’ve also checked Budget and Avis, but their reviews seem really bad on TrustPilot , so I’d rather avoid them.

Can anyone recommend a good alternative with fair prices, no hidden fees, reasonable deposit/insurance conditions, and possible airport pickup/dropoff

I’ve looked at PlusCar and TopCar so far, but I’d love to hear about recent experiences with them or any other local companies.

Thanks!

I watched it from the island and it was one of those moments that's hard to put into words. The light changed in a way I've never seen before, something between dusk and something else entirely. The temperature dropped noticeably and for a few minutes everything felt strangely still.

Lanzarote was actually one of the best spots in the Canaries for it. The west coast viewpoints, Mirador del Río, Famara, El Golfo, the area around La Santa, offered up to around 73-74% partial coverage, which is significant enough to feel the effect on the light and the atmosphere around you. The higher and more open the horizon, the better the experience.

Curious if anyone else was watching from here and where you ended up going. Did it hit you the same way?

Hi everyone, friend and I are traveling Lanzarote this weekend and next week. What can you suggest to do for people around 30 years old. We’ve planned some walks and sights. We’re looking for active vacation so beach hoping is not exactly what we want. I was thinking surfing for day or two could be cool. Can you suggest some good surfing school? Except that, we are not into clubbing but hanging out with young people sounds nice 😊

Are there any camel ride places that take care of their camels properly? I don’t want to contribute to animal abuse.

Hello I am going to coast Teguise end of October time and just wondering if there any boat trips, night cruise or anything like that?

Hi! Does anyone know where to get glasses to see the eclipse tomorrow in Lanzarote? I’ve been searching for them for a few days and I haven’t found them. Cheers!

Hi everyone, my partner and I are going to Lanzarote on the 16th and staying for two weeks, she’s meeting up with some friends and having the week with them for the first week then we’re having our week….

What things can you suggest for me to do, places to visit etc for the first week solo, and what do you suggest for the second week with both of us? We’re staying PDC.

Thanks in advance !

(Also, what’s the airport like on arrival for a British passport holder? Any tips appreciated)
