How much does a Timanfaya tour cost from Lanzarote?
Updated October 14, 2026 · 5 min read
Timanfaya trips in this comparison start at €44 for a 3-hour guided volcanic hike and reach €89 for a 9-hour day including Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes. For most visitors, the clearest middle choice is the 5-hour Volcanic Craters Tour at €59: it concentrates on the Volcano Route and geothermal demonstrations rather than selling a full island day. Cruise passengers should take the €49 trip from Arrecife, which is listed expressly for them.

What do the extra euros buy?
The €44 hike takes you on foot across lava fields and craters with a guide, who tells the history of Lanzarote along the way. Hotel transfers are optional, so check the selected option. It earns the highest score here, but it suits walkers, not visitors who want the Volcano Route with its geothermal demonstrations.

At €59, the five-hour tour pays for a Timanfaya-centred half day. The two expensive options add northern or island-wide stops: €87 links Timanfaya with El Golfo and Jameos del Agua; €89 adds both Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes. The €2 difference is not the useful comparison — the extra cave and additional hour are.

The €49 trip is listed as an excursion for cruise passengers from Arrecife and lasts 2 hours 30 minutes. It combines Timanfaya with a local vineyard and the Green Lagoon. It is not the default for resort guests; match its meeting arrangements to your ship’s times yourself.
Do not read “more expensive” as “more Timanfaya”. At €87 and €89 the time is spread over several sights; the €59 trip keeps the decision closer to the national park. That is exactly why the cheaper option can be the better fit for a first visit.

The recommendation
Book the €59 Volcanic Craters Tour for a conventional Timanfaya visit without surrendering the whole day. Pay €89 only if Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua are also on your list; choose the €44 hike when walking on volcanic terrain matters more than the Volcano Route.
