We had a wonderful time in Lanzarote. It was our first visit to the Canary Islands and we weren't quite sure what to expect but loved exploring this extraordinary landscape. The walks were great for a relaxing holiday - nothing too challenging but full of interest and/or with great views. We were able to walk and find time for swimming every day - a highlight for us. Other highlights included the walk on La Gracioza including a swim in such a beautiful bay, the visit to the Cesar Manrique house/museum, a couple of great meals at Bodega de Santiago in Yaiza, the walk from El Golfo, the short 'there and back' walk from Playa Quemada to Puerto Calero, and the visit to the Timanfaya National Park including the bus tour along the Ruta de Los Volcanes which had to be done.
Inntravel should have much more of a handle on the accommodation and menus being offered rather than being reactive once negative feedback has been received. Too many problems arose on this holiday so thank you for the refund and feeding back our concerns but the fact you’re continuing with this hotel suggests you’re not taking my feedback seriously. I think some secret shoppers would be a good idea to see what is actually being experienced on the ground.
Having a car is essential as it allows easy access to all of this lovely though very different island. The road network is superb which allows stress free travel. Coastal and inland paths are easily identified using the excellent map provided by Inntravel.

HIGLIGHTS & TIPS: Jameos del Agua was well worth the drive - fascinating. Teguise is a very attractive town but all the museums were closed! Don't eat at Acatife in Teguise - the building is lovely but the food awful! Bodega Uga is closed on Mondays so we never got to eat there, but the hotel restaurant was excellent and we had really good meals in Bodega de Santiago (quite pricey). 7 Hoja's is good and reasonably priced (very popular with locals!) and we loved the Puerta Verde in Haria.
La Graciosa was a highlight for us. Be prepared for very cold winds. Luckily I had a woolly hat, jumpers and a warm coat.
Lanzarote was unlike any other walking we had done before; the volcanic landscape made it feel like a different planet and every walk was a wonder. The highlight though was La Graciosa, such a beautiful, wild and alien Island we will never forget our day there. It has been mentioned by other Inntravellers but if you can get a place on the walk around the National Park it is well worth it; the guide a German lady who moved to Lanzarote in the 90's obviously enjoyed her job and was very informative.
A tip on visiting Timanfaya National Park: We found it impossible to book tickets for the walking tour, although we tried well in advance. Instead, we booked the 'Insolita Montana' ticket (€45 each), which is an upgraded once daily bus tour. The advantages are: a smaller bus and group size; plus it takes a different route to the standard tour, allowing you to see more and to get off the bus to take photographs. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English. At the end of the tour we were taken into the panoramic restaurant, before it opened to others, for a glass of wine and tapas which was included in the price. We thought it excellent value for money. NB - for this you do need to pre-book and to arrive at the park entrance by 9am before the queues form.
Very pleased to have seen the island of Lanzarote but this was not the walking holiday for us
We were very impressed by Lanzarote. Cesar Manrique's influence on the buildings is amazing turning black volcanic scenery into a picturesque vista. La Carsona de Yaiza is in a quiet attractive location far from the tourist hordes! The meals are plentiful and tasty. The service friendly and efficient. Driving is easy no potholes!! When visiting the Jameos del Agua worth spending the extra €5 on House of the volcanoes.
Fuerteventura:
Highly recommend a visit to Betancuria of a weekend as live music. on the way stop at Pájara, a lovely little village.
Lanzarote:
Visit Quemada wonderful restaurant used by locals 7Islas. No 1 on tripadvisor, definitely worth seeking out. Amazing quality and great prices. Fabulous view.
wonderful headlands walk to Puerto Calero.
visit La Santa and Famara. Famara beach looks like Camps Bay in South Africa.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our Ancient Fuerteventura and Lanzarote & La Graciosa holidays
Playa Quemada, a short easy drive from the hotel, is a charming seaside village with a few sea front restaurants. 7 Islas was a fun informal place to eat on a SUnday afternoon.
It was our first visit to Lanzarote and we loved the island and found lots of interesting places to visit with the help of the Inntravel suggestions. The weather was in the mid-20s in early January and as there are virtually no trees on the island most of the walks were in full sun and we found that quite difficult. The Casona de Yaiza is a lovely family run hotel with charming and helpful staff on the edge of a pretty village, where, when not eating at the hotel, we found good restaurants at differing price points, which we enjoyed.
The Fire Mountain trip was excellent and the Jameos de Agua outstanding. We weren't overly impressed with Costa Azul restaurant as service was rather curt but Le Caleton further down the road was super. We were pleased to be able to extend many of the walks using the map and would encourage people to explore further afield if fit enough eg Hache Grande near Femes. We think there are some worthwhile Grade 3 options available.
We were looking for a Christmas in the sun but not too far from the UK. This holiday fits the bill perfectly and offered us the opportunity to do as much or as little walking as we chose. The scenery was varied and interesting. The food was excellent as were the local wines. The driving was straight forward and the roads excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our first Inntravel holiday, both accommodations had been chosen with care however they are not modern hotels.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined Lanzarote & La Graciosa with Ancient Fuerteventura
I can highly recommend the Casona de Yaiza, it was clean, the breakfast was excellent and the included Bodega restaurant meals were, in my opinion, the best available in Yaiza. I would also suggest paying for an enhanced room as the cost is reasonable and I found it enjoyable to sit on the balcony in the evenings to relax and read a book. I also enjoyed lunch at the Centro de Artesania, craft centre cafeteria, in the centre of town, and dinners at the 7 hojas restaurant, la Era and pizza at the La Cantosa restaurant in Uga. It is well worth booking the three hour guided walking trip into the Timanfayer National Park, but I suggest you do so exactly one month to the day before you want to go to secure a place. If you want to learn even more about the volcanic history of Lanzarote then I can recommend the bus trip into the park, but arrive at the entrance no later than 09:15, you will understand why when you drive out of the park, and also stop off at the visitors centre, which is a little further up the road just before you get to Mancha Blanca, as it has some very interesting displays. I told my Timanfayer walking guide that I intended to get an early ferry to La Graciosa, at 08:30, and he said it was far too late and I must get the first ferry at 08:00. I took his advice and left the hotel at 06:30 and when I arrived at Orzola port I was directed to a parking place by very helpful Biosfera staff. There was only me and locals on the first ferry and I was able to have an enjoyable breakfast at the El Saladero cafe, on Las Graciosa, close to the ferry terminal. Be sure to visit the bakery just around the corner of the same block as soon as you arrive as it has a long queue from 08:50 onwards. The walk along the coast after breakfast is highly recommended, great views and very relaxing. I enjoyed mixing and matching the walks and did the Haria circuit in the morning and the Famara cliff walk in the afternoon. I can highly recommend the La Tegala restaurant in the Centro Sociocultural for lunch, opposite the church, in Haria, it was full of locals at Sunday lunchtime. I particularly enjoyed the circular walk from Yaiza to Femes, including the short diversion up to Atalaya de Femme, and also the walk from Mancha Blanca up and around Caldera Blanca, in a clockwise direction, although this is not one of the walks described in the trip notes, great views although not for those who suffer from vertigo. The route down on goat trails is somewhat slippery on the loose stones. Also not to miss is the short walk into Montana Cuevo the centre of which I imagine will be very green in the winter months. All in all, a very enjoyable trip and highly recommended.
Highlights of Lanzarote & La Graciosa:
Exploring the unique volcanic landscape, and walking though the hills of grapes grown in their zocos.
Visiting the El Grifo winery
Taking the ferry to La Graciosa and walking along the beach with beautiful views across to Lanzarote.
Visiting the Jameos del Agua. Walking through the lava tube was fascinating. Would have loved to hear a concert in the auditorium.
Recommend avoiding Playa Blanca. Too full of tourists.
Highlights of Landscapes of Western Madeira
Whale watching in Calheta
What a fantastic holiday, we had decided we didn't want to walk hotel to hotel, we now enjoy an odd day off from walking, and this was perfect having the car. It also gave us chance to enjoy the lovely Hotel Rural La Casona. The walks were more or less exactly as described and a good mix, we really feel that we got to know Lanzarote. We love our food (one of the reasons we walk) and weren't disappointed at all, in the hotel and the lunches out we had. Definitely recommend Mirador de Las Salinas rice and fish speciality, fantastic views over the salt pans. And the food excellent. Also as recommended in your notes Costa Azul we can confirm still excellent. On our last day we visited Cesar Manrique's Jameos del Agua, what a fantastic place definitely recommend and glad we did it at the end of our holiday, having spent the last week walking around the island we were able to understand the passion he had for his homeland.
We had a fabulous week in Lanzarote. The country is beautiful. Everyone is very friendly. We stayed in the old part of the hotel which is quaint. Only downside is there is nowhere to dry swimming costumes and towels. We were on the ground floor and our window was facing the path around the hotel and the road. We felt this unable to leave our windows open at night and we lacked privacy unless the curtains or shutter were closed. Food in the restaurant is fantatsic. We could not fault the staff who were friendly and could not not do enough for you. We definitely recommend this holiday.
A lovely boutique hotel in a rural inland setting ~ well away from the mass tourist resorts. Very convenient location for the many varied walks ~ near and far. Some excellent restaurants and cafes nearby. Would particularly recommend Costa Azule at el Golfo ~ wonderful fish dishes in a great seaside location. Also Casa Tino at Playa Quemada ~ genuine, simple cuisine, friendly service ~ but avoid neighbouring restaurant 'el Pescador' which was pretentious and unwelcoming to casual walkers despite empty tables (albeit with table linen!).
A very relaxing holiday during March in Lanzarote via Inntravel. We found it a too hot for the long inland walks, but the costal paths were breezy and spectacular. The hotel was nice and welcoming, the food excellent.
A highlight was playa Quemada, and also Cesar manrique's house in Haria. The restaurant you recommend, La Tigala, seems not to exist. It would be helpful to number the walk description pages individually. The hotel street name is incorrect Walk5 is on lava deposit and is horribly rough underfoot.
We did a walk from Puerto Calero to Playa Quemada and back.Good resturants for lunch at the Playa.
Highlights; Cactus Garden, Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Aqua. Timanfaya National Park (Insólita Montaña tour) plus Walk 6 (Lava fields of Timanfaya) and Walk 9 (Around Monte Cuervo)
Recommended Restaurants; Bodega @ Hotel Casona de Yaiza, Bodega de Santiago (Yaiza), Cafe Antigua Escuela @ the Craft Centre (Yaiza), Restaurante 7 Hojas (Yaiza), Casa Gregorio (Uga), Restaurant Costa Azul (El Golfo)
Absolutely NOT Recommended; Restaurante Bogavante (El Golfo) - Overpriced, lousy service, less than average food
The end of February was a great time to visit Lanzarote. It was warm and sunny, but very comfortable for walking. Yaiza is an excellent base for the trip. There is a good selection of typical restaurants available locally, within easy walking distance. With a car, a week enables you to see everything there is to see on the island and enjoy the walks too.
The food at the Bodega de Santiago was excellent and the best we had on our holiday. It is wise to book in advance, easily done via their website. The food at Vilaflor was very average, we were not offered the a la carte, which did not seem to be on offer. The public rooms and spaces at Vilaflor were excellent.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers tailored their itinerary by combining a stay at Vilaflor on Tenerife with our Discovery Walking Holiday Lanzarote & La Graciosa
It was our first trip to Lanzarote and we found the island fascinating. There is a huge range of walking routes additional to the great ones that Inntravel provide. There was no one highlight: The Timanfaya National Park with coach trip and lunch in the restaurant is a must, as is a trip to the Rundacion Cesar Manrique on the outskirts of Tahiche and the Jameos del Agua, again with lunch in the "cave" restaurant. This was also our first trip with Inntravel. I had heard lots of good reports about them, all of which were correct.
Our highlights were:
Uga walk to Tinasoria walk was very good - excellent views around the island and to Fuerteventura
Guided walk in the national park (book a month in advance - limited spaces)
Visiting El Golfo towards sunset (car park just as the road bends round into the town) short walk to see the green lagoon and cliffs as the sun sets over the sea
We drove to Playa Quemada and found an excellent restaurant Salmarina - doesn't look much from the road, but was excellent - we had a table on a terrace by the sea
In Haria we found excellent tapas at the Centro Cultura La Tegala
The evening meals in the hotel Casona do Yaiza - both service and food excellent
Driving was straightforward and the roads were of a very high standard.
Lanzarote provided a great refuge from the UK's winter weather. The island history was fascinating, the colours and contours of the landscape were remarkable and walking Inntravel's recommended walking routes and visits gave us a real insight into the island's culture.
The best restaurant we found was 15 mins drive from the hotel - Restaurante Mirador de Las Salinas, not mentioned in your notes. Excellent fish, seafood, and rice dishes.
Take warm clothes for the evenings
Highly recommend taking hiking poles, makes walking on loose lava gravel easier! Notably for the walk down to the Playa Del Risco
Walking through the vineyards was fascinating and quite unique
Great and varied walking routes through "lavaland"!
Personal highlights: Mount Tinasoria circuit and Monte Cuervo circuit. We combined the two El Golfo walks to make a circuit. We enjoyed the Timanfaya National Park tour which combined well with the separate (and free) Visitors Centre further along the same road and made a good introduction to the island. The tour round the Salinas De Janubio was well worth the time and cost, very interesting. El Patio agricultural museum looked long term closed when we tried to visit, accurately reflected on Google maps but not on the Museums' website. We did the walk from Playa Blanca to Papagayo and onwards which was interesting as we normally avoid large resorts. It was tricky to find the path at the end of the developed area as there's so much new building that the notes had been superseded by a part finished complex. The GPS points are helpful, we ran them on Komoot, as they allow you to walk without having your head in the map/notes so often. We found the walk timings to be much more generous than usual for us, perhaps we'd have been slower if it was hotter. We'd not visited Lanzarote before, so weren't prepared for the wind which we found disorienting on higher sections some days.
We stayed in La Casona, and we'd recommend brushing up on 'breakfast Spanish' and room numbers as ham/salami etc/cheese/rolls have to be requested and your room number given - the breakfast team didn't have very much English at all when we visited. Otherwise everything worked very well there.
We used the car tours in the 'Sunflower' Lanzarote book, the northern one was very useful - mooching North along the rocks and beach at Orzola revealed some interesting little beach 'shacks' in amongst the lava. The 'Discover' book also has some interesting extra walks if you're not keen on some of the Inntravel ones (vertigo is an issue in our family!), but the numbers in the book and map we'd borrowed didn't match the ones on the map from Inntravel. Not sure whether there's a more recent edition of the book to match the current map, the editions looked pretty outdated on Amazon.
Eating out: we used 7 Hojas, La Era in Yaiza (short walk) and La Cantosa in Uga. All were fine, if very different! La Cantosa is the village bar, so noisy and busy but good value. The pizza is about 14" across - we were wisely advised by the waitress not to have a salad as well! They'll make sandwiches/rolls to order while you wait in the morning before the walk around Mount Tinasoaria. 7 Hojas is busy, middle of the road in range and fair value. La Era has mixed reviews on TripAdvisor, but it was fine when we went. Several establishments were saying that there was a shortage of certain wines due to Covid, mixed weather and a sudden influx of visitors!
Lovely relaxing holiday, while walks were generally not challenging they did offer wide variety of landscapes within the island and chance to explore further. Charismatic hotel in lovely location, with very attentive and helpful staff. Evening meal options limited for vegetarians, but food was of good quality. Cool in January so recommend following the advice to bring layers, esp in evenings. Highlights included Montana del Fuego tour and visits to bodegas.
Very good experience overall.
I wish we had done our own research on the hotel and which rooms to book or avoid and not relied on Inntravel to make those choices. On our past Inntravel holidays we have never had to do this!
Lanzarote was though a very enjoyable island.
Congratulations on the variety of walks provided, not easy given the landscape of Lanzarote!
We were looking for relatively easy walking and preferably not more than 4 hours at a time. We were very satisfied with the variety and length of the routes offered and the quality of the walking notes. The driving notes were also very good. In terms of scenery, we liked that El Hierro was quite green, in contrast to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, with their volcanic landscapes (Lanzarote in particular felt very black). We found the restaurant service at La Casona de Yaiza very friendly and personal, and the food was excellent (we ate there every evening bar the one night they were closed). In Fuerteventura, whilst we did enjoy the food at Mahoh, it was a larger restaurant so the service not quite as personal as at Yaiza. We ate at La Villa on three nights (Mahoh being closed on the Monday and Tuesday of our stay) and the service and the food were both excellent. It would be best to book though as it's a small restaurant and clearly very popular; also at the time of our stay it was only open in the evening and was closed on Saturday and Sunday. We particularly enjoyed being able to stay in Teide National Park and the accessibility of the walks straight from the Parador - that we had excellent weather was a bonus. Overall a very enjoyable holiday. Whilst we are no long able to walk long distances or manage strenuous walking, we have travelled with Inntravel several times in the past and have no hesitation in recommending your services. Thank you!
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers booked a tailored holiday in the Canaries that included stays on El Hierro and Tenerife in addtion to our Discovery Walking Holidays Lanzarote & La Graciosa and Ancient Fuerteventura
Lots of interesting walks of varied length with plenty of options for other activities. We particularly enjoyed the walk up to and around the rim of the crater - a steady climb up with wonderful views from the top. Our favourite restaurant was the hotel Casona de Yaiza, we also tried La Era and Bodega de Santiago.
On the whole our fortnight of walking was enjoyable if challenging. (Lanzarote & La Graciosa A Discovery Walking Holiday followed by El Hierro, The Last Outpost, A (grade 3) Self-Guided Walking Holiday.) The organisation was outstanding and the directions and notes were spot on. All meals and hotels were very good and we would reccomend Inntravel to anyone. However, you have to be a serious walker to do some of the walks on El Hierro. Thanks to everyone in your organisation.
The hotel restaurant was excellent, including the service. Breakfast was acceptable but samey. Limited number of other restaurant and bar alternatives in village, but a pretty place all the same. Loved the hotel setting and the room was quirky and cute.
We very much enjoyed our holiday in Lanzarote. The volcanos and immense lava fields are spectacular and the eruptions that caused them must have been terrifying! The views from the high level walks are glorious and continuous as they are not blighted by trees which so often cut one off from the reward you feel you are due after struggling up the mountain. We would particularly recommend the lava fields of Timanfaya, Yaiza to Femes, and the Femes circuit. We had excellent lunches at Costa Azul in el Golfo and, particularly Puerta Verde in Haria. Dinner was cheap and good at 7 Hojas and excellent at La Cabana in Macher which was recommended by our host At the hotel. Lanzarote food and the local wine were much better than expected.
An excellently located hotel, with a superb restaurant. Excellent walking with clear notes. A good place for winter walking.
Another well organised and planned holiday with a wide range of walks.
A definite must is the trip into the Timanfaya national park with the coach trip around. Quite amazing scenery. Get there very early.
Bar Stop in Yaiza was excellent, lovely old style tapas, great staff, good place to go.
A trip to the Aloe Vera museum just outside Yaiza is worth a quick visit, especially if the weather is bad. Free entry but a big shop.
Can also recommmend a guided tour of the Salinas de Janubio salt flats near los Hervideros. Open every day except Sunday, guided tours at 1000, 1200 and 1400. Well worth the 12 euros. Includes a tasting of salt on tomatoes and wine !!
The vineyards of La Geria and the colonising plants and lichens as we walked towards Playa del Paso made for an unusual experience. Quite beautiful.
We loved being in this much quieter, more traditional part of the island and we didn't venture further afield.
Our first time on Lanzarote. We found it a very easy place to navigate as only small with terrific roads. Don't miss the smaller villages & towns, they all have something to offer. Do visit Teguise & Haria on market days, but try to revisit on another day if you get chance for a comp,etely different experienc. Not in Inntravel guide, a visit to La Santa is worth it if in that area, purely to marvel at the waves!! Loved El Gofo & close enough to accommodation to pop for a meal. Don't miss a trip to La Graciosa.
Was my first trip to Lanzarote and hope to return. Loved the food (particularly fish), extraordinary landscape, exploring, walking, cleanliness, friendly local population and weather.
Unfortunately had to test health system due to chest infection - assistance and treatment at Yaiza health centre was superb.
