Lanzarote - Arrecife - Help?

Hi guys,

I'm in Lanzarote at the moment in Arrecife. I'm struggling for things to do and a quick Google didn't come up with much.

Any suggestions on where to look online? Most of the tourist info places seem to be closed as it's not high season.

Cheers 🍻

  • There are several companies that do guided tours of Timafaya, which is good for a day or 1/2 day out.

    Have you asked at the hotel for recommendations too?

    http://www.lastminute-transfer.com/lastminute_trip.asp. not sure if they pick up Arrecife but will give you an idea of excursions to do.
    We usually go to Lanzarote in February or March never had a problem with anything being closed its an all year round destination.
    Is it adult trips-things to do you want or do you have children with you.

    as suggested Timanfaya
    as its a small island all areas of it are easy accessed

    Hi Kraezae


    If you use Facebook, have a look at the 'Need to Know - Lanzarote' group.;)


    They have lots of members who post questions and suggestions on lots of topics.


    Enjoy your holiday.

    Teguise (not Costa Teguise) has a market every Sunday, you can get the bus or book an organised trip.

    Bike hire, the cycle path runs all the way to Puerto Del Carmen in one direction or Costa Teguise in the other. Very flat terrain and both resorts are more touristy than Arrecife if that's what your after.
  • Things don't close, and winter is high season in the Canaries. Coffee (or wine) and cake in the Star Lounge in the Arrecife Gran, Arrecife Saturday market (if you've not already done those). Walk to Playa Honda and have a leisurely lunch. Haria has a Saturday market, Teguise a Sunday one, Playa Blanca has a market Wednesday and Saturday. A trip around Timanfaya is a must. Jameous del Agua, Mirador del Rio, Papagayo beaches, El Golfo and Los Hervideros are all worth visiting. Hire a car and just drive around the island. There's so much to see.
