Things to do in Lanzarote, Canary Islands: The Best Outdoor Activities
Ahhh, Lanzarote: The Canary Island paradise where you can ride a camel into the sunset and then dine inside a candlelit cave. The rock formations of Los Hervideros will take your breath away, as will the views from the Mirador del Rio lookout point. Legend has it that locals would hide from pirates in the underground caverns of Cueva de los Verdes, which are now open to curious visitors. Above ground the Jardin de Cactus will teach you all about the spiny desert plants.

I was looking for an RYA Training Center in the Canary Islands where I could do my Yachtmaster prep week and exam. After writing emails to probably every RYA sailing school in the Canaries, I appreciated that Atlantic Sailing was handling my queries really professional from the first second onwards. They were the only ones who sent me a questionnaire to figure out how much time I need to successfully prepare for the Yachtmaster exam. And it turned out that their estimate was spot on. They do know their stuff, especially how to build and polish up your sailing skills towards an exam. I’ve done a lot of RYA courses in the recent years and I’ve rarely seen such dedicated people like Fadwa and Richard from Atlantic Sailing. They really care about their students and customers. And last but not least they are just pleasant people with whom I enjoyed spending time and setting sails off Lanzarote. Long story short, I passed my Yachtmaster Offshore Exam very well and I really recommend Atlantic Sailing to every one who wants to do their Yachtmaster certificate. I wish Atlantic Sailing always fair winds and hopefully I see you again soon!

My five year old son done two days (would of done the week only he was sick) at this academy and he absolutely loved every minute of it. He hasnt stopped talking about it and also both trainers corey and jack who were so professional in what they do. They couldnt of been any nicer to my son and also the other kids who attended. Would highly reccomend this to anyone planning a vacation to tropical island. We for sure will definately be returning due to the fact that this academy is on site. My son has been talking about all the new skills he has learnt from it. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

so expect strong winds but such beauty along the sandy beach that seems to stretch forever. The sand is natural and lovely to walk on. Plenty of surfers about and you may be lucky enough like us to see great displays from kite surfers.

This is not the hotel or the beach immediately by the hotel this is a protected area ( national park) along the coast from the hotels. But it is quite a walk or a longer drive via quite an open rough track through the rocky desert. This costs 3 euros to enter. There are excursions via boat from Playa Blanca. We saw a few catamarans and yachts in the area and a kayaking group. The beautiful, unspoilt beaches are reached by walking down the cliff pathways. There are two small restaurants at the top of the cliffs, otherwise no other facilities so take water/ picnic. Ideal for couples, family groups.

Large beach kept spotlessly clean. Easy access into the sea. Sunbeds at 12 euros for 2 and a brolly good value. Have a chat to maurice the beach guy friendly and entertaining takes pride in his work and makes sure everyone is comfortable. Few touts up and down but all jovial and not pushy

Lovely beach and wonderful for families, couples or singles. Sunbeds & parasols for hire if you want them. Man made lagoon which is safe for children to paddle and swimmers to really swim Lots of fish in the lagoon, which you can feed with bread - they are completely unafraid and come right up to you.. Great for snorkelling and lots of people learning to scuba dive here. Lifeguard on site and toilets and showers too.

This has got to be some of the most spectacular scenery I’ve seen while in Lanzarote. Turquoise blue waters, half circles of natural lava rock to provide shelter from the wind. The rugged mountains behind & the ocean in front, simply beautiful. Medicine for the soul.
