Our guide was so cute and enthusiastic that she made us appreciate the landscape and tour. If you’re going to Lanzarote off a cruise ship, this is a great way to see it. I appreciate it experience more after I left and thought about how crazy it is that there are 300 volcanoes on the small island. It’s not a place I would return, but I’m glad I saw it one time in my life.”

10.La Graciosa: Island Cruise with Lunch for Cruise Passengers

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 4 reviews · 6 hours · from $95

Take a ferry from Lanzarote to La Graciosa, spend 45 minutes in Caleta del Sebo, then board a large catamaran for a coastal cruise. You get a mojito, paella, unlimited drinks, kayaking, swimming, Wi-Fi, and multilingual guiding. Expect a social group outing, not a quiet private sail.

“Troppo affollato, la foto del catamarano non corrisponde alla realtà. Era un catamarano enorme, a due piani, con tantissime persone a bordo. Sul catamarano si sta seduti, non c’è possibilità di stare un minimo sdraiati. Cibo e bevande mediocri, una sola sosta in mare senza la possibilità di andare sulla spiaggia. Dichiarata durata 6 ore ma effettive sono 4 (6 ore compresi transfer in autobus andata e ritorno).”
