Lanzarote is one of those places whose appearance inspires the viewer's fantasies. Countless volcanoes cover the surface of the island. And even though they have gone out long time ago, they look as if they were still spewing out lava yesterday. In addition to the volcanoes, there is much more that you should definitely visit during your vacation. Among other means, you can do this with a bus tour. The excursion buses take you to many of the emblematic places of Lanzarote. And the more hidden and less accessible natural monuments can be reached on a jeep safari.
Organized bus tours and jeep safaris in Lanzarote usually are carefree packages. It practically is the most relaxed way of sightseeing. In addition to a professional guide and hotel transfer, the tours often also include meals, entrance fees and other costs. You have the choice between excursions in coaches, minibuses, jeeps and off-road minibuses. No matter what you choose, it will definitely be a wonderful day filled with special impressions. In this article, you can read the best tips and the most important information about jeep and bus tours in Lanzarote.
On most of our bus tours, you can already tell the motto, where it is going and the contents of the tour are by its name. For example, on the Bus Tour Fire and Wine in Lanzarote, you will pay a visit to the volcanic landscape of the Timanfaya Natural Park and taste delicious local wines in the wine-growing region of La Geria. And with the Around the Island Tour you can circumnavigate Lanzarote and get to know the most important sights. The trips are carried out in modern, air-conditioned coaches, you just have to get on the bus and get comfortable in one of the seats.
While you pass impressive natural monuments and overwhelming sights, the tour guide will give you the most important and interesting information. He does not skimp on anecdotes about the history of Lanzarote and its people. Some of the bus tours also include visits to museums or parks. In this case, the entrance fees often are inclusive in the tour prices. The stops in the wineries and cheese factories are particularly attractive. The tastings taking place are also included in the price. Get away from the tourist centers like Costa Teguise or Playa Blanca by bus and get to know the real Lanzarote.
The inclusive services of the bus tours depend on how long a tour lasts and at what price it is offered. Children can usually travel at cheaper prices. The employed coaches are equipped with comfortable seats, air conditioning and on-board toilets. The accompanying tour guide is multilingual, professional and happy to answer your questions. Tastings of wines and local agricultural products as well as entrance fees to museums and parks are usually compensated with the tour price. The ferry is already paid for with island hopping bus tours to the neighboring island Fuerteventura. Food and drinks may also be included in the price. If this is not the case, these can usually be booked optionally on the bus.
A jeep safari in Lanzarote mostly runs off-road, which means you drive largely over unpaved roads. There are a lot of stones and holes that get in your way, and you will feel it. Such a jeep is hard sprung and the seats also offer little cushion. Comfort is different! This rustic adventure is for all those who are looking for the extraordinary, the hidden and the mysterious Lanzarote. Wit a jeep safari you will enter into the very heart of the island. You can use it to reach places that are inaccessible by any coach or rental car. Look out from rugged cliffs over the Atlantic, discover lonely natural beaches and look down into threatening volcanic craters.
First of all, you will be picked up from your hotel by jeep and driven back after the tour. A professional, multilingual tour guide will accompany you during the tour. He gives you a lot of interesting information and is available as a contact person. There may also be paid visits to parks and museums. However, the entry should already cover the price of the tour. The same applies to any tasting of wine or agricultural products. If the tour goes on for a long time, lunch and drinks are mostly included. You can purchase additional services on the excursion day. These include, for example, dust protection cloths, photos and videos. If necessary, child seats can also be rented for a small surcharge.
A mini bus offers a slightly more private atmosphere than a large coach. Because it only accommodates a maximum of 8 passengers, this increases the familiarization possibilities and makes it easier to look outside. The used minibuses are certainly also comfortable and equipped with air conditioning. You also feel closer to what is happening during the drive. While on the road, you will hear your guide through the loudspeakers in your vehicle. And when you stop at sights, getting in and out the vehicle is much faster. Minibuses are also more flexible and maneuverable and thus reach places in Lanzarote that large coaches cannot reach.
Since the excursions in the minibus take almost all day, the services offered on these tours usually also include meals. In addition, you can assume that entrance fees, tastings and any ferry trips are part of the provided service. Children can travel at reduced prices. The price of culinary excursions can be higher. But you can also enjoy all sorts of typical delicacies of the island such as wines, goat cheese or olive oils.
This smart vehicle combines two excursions: the comfortable minibus tour and the rough jeep safari. Because these jeep buses are converted VW Transporter 4motion, their interior provides the comfort of a mini bus but at the same time you also have the mobility of a jeep. When it comes to off-road driving over hill and dale, you don't have to do without seating comfort. They are equipped with 8 passenger seats and air conditioning, the roof has also been removed and a hood was installed instead. That's why get the authentic convertible feeling during your journey and you experience the nature of Lanzarote up close. The conversion also comprises raising the chassis, redirecting the exhaust system along the passenger side and reinforcing the shock absorbers. And finally, the spare wheel got attached to the rear. Thanks to the gained ground clearance, this vehicle also allows you to reach very inaccessible areas away from the asphalt roads.
You should book the excursion that you find most interesting. However, first check in which languages the tour will be guided. In our tour descriptions the available languages are symbolized with small flags to the right of the picture (in the mobile version below the picture). And the language is usually pointed out again in the menu item “Services & Prices”. Also pay attention to the type and equipment of the vehicles in use. Air conditioning is essential if you are traveling on a bus. Costs for museum or park visits should also be included in the price, as well as lunch, tastings, possible ferry costs and hotel transfers. Be sure to check whether this is the case or if additional costs may incur on the tour. You can also find information about what is included in the price and what not under “Services & Prices”.
If you suffer from travel sickness and cannot tolerate repeated curves, taking a travel tablet beforehand is highly recommended. It would be a shame to let this beautiful day be spoiled by feeling unwell. Jeep safaris are very bumpy because you mostly drive off the paved roads. If you are struggling with back or knee problems, you should better refrain from these tours. Vegetarians, diabetics and people with other food intolerances or allergies can indicate this in the booking process in the “Booking Notes” field. The operator will be happy to provide alternatives for you. You can also find the above and additional information about each tour under the point “Please note!”.
