Excellent trip . We left Playa Blanca at 9 am and returned at 2:30 . Initially you spend an hour on the coach ( including swapping coaches) before arriving at the Timanfaya national park . The camel ride was interesting (€11euros each) followed by 3 experiments outside the restaurant. Very entertaining. We then had a journey through the landscape with supporting pre recorded commentary which was excellent . Finally we stopped for wine tasting which was ok and gave time for an ice cream before setting off back to the resort Highly recommended Tips Don’t take very small children as a long time is spent on the coach so they get restless No time for purchase of food or snacks Sitting upstairs on the double decker bus gives great views but difficult to hear the commentary at times Don’t go by car as very long queues to get into the car park

Thoroughly enjoyed this half day tour. Michael the guide was very informative and also presented with a lot of humour. Melvig the driver negotiated the difficult roads with accomplishment. We were picked up on time, swapped busses at Yaiza, and headed to the camel ride. This is optional for €11. The camel ride lasts around 15 minutes, longer than I expected. Total stop here lasted around 40 minutes. If you don’t do the camel ride there is a small museum, cafe and toilets. Next we went to the national park, where the staff showed us three amazing demonstrations, and we drove through the ‘restricted’ area for around 30 minutes. This is the highlight of the tour and was stunning to see the land that has laid this way for nearly 300 years since the eruptions. Going by car is not desirable and you will save yourself many hours by going on a tour like this. We then headed to the winery which was fine, but definitely an add-on to the tour. We then headed back, swapping busses again a couple of miles east of Yaiza. We were picked up at 9:25 and dropped off at 14:10. I would recommend this tour to anyone, it gives you a bit of the island away from the tourist areas, but without the intensity of an all day trip where you are shattered by the end of it.

Amazing trip - thoroughly recommended!!! Camals - fun but feel a bit sorry for them! Volcano - spectacular and amazing to get so close! Wine - interesting to see how vines cultivated but everyone a bit weary by this point... Tour guide was informative and funny. Highly recommended and easy to book via Tripadvisor. Checked tours locally and they are the same price and on the whole delivered by the same companies!

Great tour of Timanfaya. I took this tour to avoid the hassle of finding parking at the national park. Plus it was nice to sit and watch the view especially the road around the crater. Michael and Melvin (guide and driver) are very professional!

A wonderful experience and highly recommended. Our guide, Paul, was excellent, and our driver, Roberto, navigated the challenging route with impressive skill. Paul provided a range of relevant and interesting information about each part of the trip and he gave us clear timings for each stop. We were picked up on time. It is about an hour from Costa Teguise to the National Park. The coach was comfortable, air-conditioned and pleasant, with spectacular views, so hardly a chore. We enjoyed the camel ride. It's short but surprisingly comfortable as the saddles mean you are seated on either side of the camel. The camels are seemingly well cared for. You can pay cash or card for the camel ride but need cash if you want the photo. The medium dry white wine at the winery was much enjoyed by many people on the coach. There is limited time at each stop for food, which is useful to be aware of. All in all, worth every penny and a very enjoyable 5.5 hour excursion (we were one of the first stops so early on the route to be collected and virtually last to be dropped off). Highly recommended and really glad we purchased the tour.
