Papagayo Beach

The Papagayo Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Lanzarote and an excellent day out for families.

Cueva de los Verdes

If you have an adventurous family and are looking for something different then you will love Cueva de los Verdes! Enjoy a tour of these volcanic tunnels that came about after a major volcano eruption. Explore the tunnels whilst learning about the fascinating history. This is a great family activity as even younger children can enjoy this magnificent wonder. Tickets are well priced and children under six go free! If you’re looking to escape the sun and have an adventure, make sure to check it out.

Lanzarote Aquarium

The Lanzarote Aquarium is located in Costa Teguise and is a great day out for the family! If the weather is not in your favour or you’re looking to escape the sun for a while it’s the ideal place. The Aquarium has a range of fascinating marine life from turtles to sharks. The Aquarium also has a lovely personal feel with fantastic staff that make the experience even better. They also put a focus on educating you about the ocean and what we can do better. The shark tunnel is a fan favourite and if your lucky you might even see the sharks being fed!

Aqualava Water Park

While the resort’s pool is great, a water park is always a fun day out and breaks up the holiday. Lanzarote’s Aqualava Water Park is brilliant for every age with their Aqualava Beach, Cosario Beach, Timen Fire water slides and Magma lazy river. The park is a designed as a tribute to the unique volcanic landscape and all their pools are heated by geothermal energy so it won’t be a shock to the system when you put your toe in the water. It has a restaurant, shop, lockers, changing rooms and umbrellas and sunbeds.

Timanfaya National Park

The Timanfaya National Park is a brilliant day trip where you can see the Fire Mountains. More than 100 volcanoes erupted between 1730 and 1736 drastically changing this area. Temperatures just beneath the surface reach between 400°C and 600°C. You can take a coach trip around the park or go on their free guided walking tour.

Submarine Safari

Dive 30m underwater in a yellow submarine and see what’s really under the sea. This is an unforgettable experience, especially for kids who can take part in a colouring competition and Big Sea Life Quiz. A diver even comes around the submarine to feed the fish and give you even more to look at! The whole experience takes about an hour and even though you’ll be surrounded by water, there’s no sea sickness or popping ears in a submarine.

Rancho Texas Splash & Animal Park

Rancho Texas Park is a brilliant day out for all ages! It has water slides, pony rides around the Indian Lagoon, magnificently colourful birds on the Pathway of Colour and a gold mine.
