This morning, join us for an excursion to Timanfaya National Park. Lanzarote is truly a unique place. Seventy-five percent of the island’s surface is covered with craters and lava flows dating back to massive volcanic eruptions 270 years ago. The Fire Mountains in the park possess a singular beauty. At the heart of the stone and rock vineyards in Geria, we’ll enjoy a tasting of wine and cheese at one of the oldest bodegas on the island.

Afterward, we’ll head to the Mirador del Rio to take in the outstanding views of the moon-like landscape. Lastly, we’ll visit the César Manrique House Museum, an incarnation of his talents. Later, take part in our onboard lecture.

We’ll continue on to the Bandama Caldera, a volcanic crater that reaches 1,867 feet above sea level (569 m). After a trip through the fabulous countryside, we’ll arrive in the village of Tejeda.

We’ll re-enter Garajonay National Park to see the Roque Agando rock formation. Later, there will be a lecture in the lounge. Our ship will cruise to La Palma.

Then, we’ll visit the Museum El Molino and its ceramic workshop, where potters create replicas of the ceramics and handicrafts once used by the island’s indigenous people. Our next stop will be the San Antonio Volcano for a walk around its crater before enjoying a tasting of some wines in a local bodega. Join us for an excursion to the island of La Palma this afternoon. We’ll visit the Silk Museum at the center of the island to learn about the labor-intensive techniques involved in producing the fabric. Our tour includes the workshop, where we observe the artists crafting their work using traditional know-how. Afterward, we’ll head to a wonderfully restored sugar plantation that contains the largest collection of private art in the islands. We’ll take a break and enjoy a cup of tea and a pastry while taking in the ocean view. Optional excursion, not included in the package, and only through reservations before your trip (limited number of spots available): Stargazing. La Palma is known for having one of the most beautiful nighttime skies. At nightfall, we’ll leave by coach for the Pilar Observation Point at 3,280 feet in altitude (1,000 m), where a specialist will reveal all of the celestial secrets above us. Our ship will cruise to El Hierro overnight.

Our last stop will be the Mirador de la Peña, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of wine and tapas while taking in the glorious views. Join us for an excursion to Valverde this afternoon. Visiting the village of Valverde is like jumping in a time machine. Unlike the other capital cities in the Canary Islands, calm Valverde is tucked away among the green hills and has an exceptional view of the Atlantic.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
