Generally, you cannot let your children go on an organized excursion on their own. The only exception is if this is expressly offered by the operator. Otherwise parents will have to accompany their offspring on all their adventures. In case of adolescence from the age of 16 and over, this can be regulated differently in individual cases. At the end of this text you will find all the excursions that we offer on Lanzarote. We have specially sorted these for you according to predetermined minimum ages.

This is not just an exciting experience for adults. Also for the little ones, it will be great fun if you sit behind you on the Jet Ski. Excited and full of expectations for the action-packed ride. Once you go off starts and turn the throttle, you will notice how a huge load of endorphins turn into loud laughter. Children from 8 years of age are allowed to accompany their parents and your bigger kids from 16 years of age can even control the Jet Ski themselves.
Children naturally have a special relationship with animals. They are particularly impressed by the larger species. If you get a chance to see dolphins, or even whales, you shouldn't deny it to your kids. Their excitement will be limitless when you encounter these impressive marine mammals. You can take children of all ages to dolphin tours.
If your offspring is already 7 years old, you can take them on this spectacular adventure. The deep sound of the machine and the cool look will surely impress your kids. Pp to 3 people can take a seat on such a vehicle, so that with a trike tour in Lanzarote you can go on tour even with two kids or together as a family.
Exploring the island should not be missing from any to-do list of joint activities. Take your kids on an adventurous discovery tour. Get to know the true Lanzarote together by minibus. Let the imposing volcanic scenery act on the little ones and amaze your children with spectacular water vapor fountains in the Timanfaya National Park. There is no minimum age set for these tours. You can even rent child seats from the operator if required.

With the Spanish island of Lanzarote belonging to the European Union, you can confidently assume that you have the infrastructure and medical care that corresponds to that of Central European countries. The transport infrastructure is also very well developed and you can easily reach most of the emblematic places on the island by car. There are countless rental cars available for this purpose in the tourist centers. There is also good local public transport in buses with an wide network of stops. And last but not least, you will find countless supermarkets and shopping facilities in Lanzarote, so that you will be able to stock up on everything you need at any time.
Anyone traveling to Lanzarote with the baby will undoubtedly have a lot of thought in advance. But basically you just have to check whether specific baby articles are available on site and how doctors can be reached in case of an emergency. You really don't need to worry about anything else in Lanzarote. The care of young children is adequately guaranteed. There is a network of health centers (Spanish: Centro de Salud) in which doctors are working around the clock in the emergency rooms. However, don't forget to take care of the health card for foreign countries. You should request this from your national health insurance before you travel. In most supermarkets you will find baby food and articles from most conventional manufacturers, which you also know from your home country.
Lanzarote is known for its beautiful beaches. Some of them are miles long and captivate with bright, fine-grained sand on which it is wonderful to sunbathe and large sand castles can be built. But can the children go bathing carefree on the beaches of Lanzarote? Are there child-friendly beaches? The answer is yes. Some of the beaches are protected either naturally or by buildings such as moles. The currents are weak there and the waves hardly make it to the shore. In addition the entrances are shallow and long. The little ones can splash around carefree. And consequently you will enjoy it too. It is best to spend the day with your children on these beaches:
Playa La Garita: can be found far north at Arrieta. It is considered a real children's swimming paradise. The light sand and the flat entrance provide the little ones with real bathing fun. And you can also have fund on the nearby playground.
Playa de Papagayo: is one of the Papagayo beaches in the south of the island near Playa Blanca. The little ones can wonderfully play on the light yellow, fine-grained sand. The flat entrance and the warm, calm water ensure that the kids have a great bathing experience.
Playa Dorada: is also located at Playa Blanca. The beach is man-made and protected with barriersyou will have a wonderful swimming day on this light sandy beach.
Playa de Las Cucharas: is probably the most popular family beach in Costa Teguise. It is protected from currents and high waves and is located in the middle of the city. This is how children can experience perfect and extensive beach days.
Playa Chica: The small town beach of Puerto del Carmen is very popular with families with children. The children have fun in the protected bay and can play in the water to their heart's content.
There are some wonderful beaches in the west of the island. However, these are not suitable for children, as the prevailing wind and current conditions can be dangerous for children when bathing.
