Had an amazing time jetskiing with my partner for his birthday, we opted for an hour, sharing a jetski and it was the perfect amount of time, we were able to change drivers midway. We were picked up from our hotel (at an extra cost €10 which is not how its advertised but compared to taxi prices it was good value for where we were staying) Our instructor took lots of pictures available at an extra cost and we had the best time. Following the boat was easy and it allowed for some freedom but not too much to feel unsafe or alone on the water.

Excellent trek on the lava fields. From pick up to drop off, the trip was very well organised. On arrival we were given a banana and cereal bar which was unexpected and we stopped halfway for a short break and ate our snack. Wearing the right footwear is important to enjoy the activity. I wore walking boots which were great. My husband wore trainers which were sufficient but he did have to stop quite often to empty them of stones.

Marcello was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the volcanoes of the Canary Islands, not just those in Lanzarote! The walk was well paced and suitable for people of a broad range of abilities, and my partner and I had an amazing time. One of my favourite things to do on the island, I highly recommend it!

was amazing me and my two boys loved it and was well looked after will never forget this

it was a good tour but very fast could slow down the pase abit but not bad for the price
