Which private Timanfaya tours can you book?
The Timanfaya, El Golfo, and Los Hervideros Tour on GetYourGuide is sold as a private group, lasts 4 hours with pickup included and a live guide in English, and lists from US$218 with no reviews yet.[2] The Wine and volcan private tour is also a private group, with pickup included and a live guide in Spanish, English, Italian and French, valid 1 day, from US$374; its listing names no stops, so confirm Timanfaya is on the route.[3]
The Private Customized Tour of Lanzarote Island lists a private group, 6 hours, pickup included, a driver speaking English, Italian, Spanish and French, and 5.00 from 7 reviews, from US$1093.[6] Its listing names no stops; confirm with the operator that Timanfaya is on the route before you book.[6]
Outside GetYourGuide, Feeling Lanzarote Tours sells a private half-day Timanfaya volcanoes tour of 5 hours from €614, in English, Italian, Bulgarian, German, Spanish, French and Dutch.[1] Its day lists a visit to the Fire Mountains in Timanfaya National Park with the geothermal experiments and the Route of the Volcanoes by bus, a walk around the El Golfo Green Lagoon and black sand beach, and a stop at a typical winery in La Geria with a sample included.[1]
A private Lanzarote tour with wine and caves
A private volcano tour in Lanzarote can take in wine. Feeling Lanzarote Tours lists a stop at a typical winery in La Geria, with a sample included, on its private Timanfaya day, and GetYourGuide's Wine and volcan private tour puts the pairing in its name.[1][3]
La Geria occupies the central part of Lanzarote, partly covered by lava from the 1730-36 eruption, with volcanic cones rising above it.[10] Its vines grow in individual pits because the lapilli layer can be up to 3 metres thick, and they can be planted up to 4 metres apart.[11] El Grifo, which markets itself on 250 years of history, sells a 35-minute guided tasting of 5 wines for €30 per person, without a winery tour.[12][13]
Caves can be private too. The Green Caves, Jameos del Agua & Mirador Tour is sold as a private group of 6 hours with pickup included, from US$319, and the Guided tour of La Cueva de Los Verdes before hours offers a private group option for 1 hour, from US$44.[7][14] CACT warns that the Cueva de los Verdes route is not accessible to people with reduced mobility and is not recommended for people with claustrophobia.[15]
Private car or tour coach, visitors stay inside the vehicle from El Taro to Islote de Hilario
What a private tour costs
The private listings start from US$218 for the 4-hour Timanfaya, El Golfo, and Los Hervideros Tour, from US$374 for the Wine and volcan private tour and from US$1093 for the 6-hour customized island tour.[2][3][6] The Lanzarote: Timanfaya Park, Jameos Agua, & Cueva Verdes Tour lists from US$102 for its 9-hour day.[5]
Check what your party pays for the date you choose before you commit. Feeling Lanzarote Tours lists its private half-day Timanfaya tour from €614 and its private guide from €193.[1][4] That guide rate is for the guide alone; transport and meals are paid on top.[4]
For scale, CACT's general ticket for Montañas del Fuego is €30.00, and children aged 0 to 6 enter free.[9] CACT's Insólita Experience, a small-group upgrade, costs €46.30, departs at 08:45, lasts 120 minutes and runs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.[9]
Private or shared?
The Lanzarote: Timanfaya Park, Jameos Agua, & Cueva Verdes Tour carries no private-group label. It runs 9 hours with a live guide in English, French, German and Spanish, pickup included and skip-the-ticket-line entry, and it holds 4.47 from 2,662 reviews.[5] Its stops are Timanfaya National Park, Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua.[5]
The private listings carry far fewer reviews. The customized island tour holds 5.00 from 7 reviews, the Wine and volcan private tour 5.00 from 3 reviews, and the Timanfaya, El Golfo, and Los Hervideros Tour has no reviews yet.[2][3][6]
That 4-hour private tour names Los Hervideros, a stretch of cliff coast with caves and blowholes formed by the 1730-1736 eruptions and sculpted by erosion.[2][10] If a smaller group is what you want inside the park, the Tremesana guided walk is free, must be booked online at least 25-30 days ahead, and runs with small groups.[16] It meets at Plaza de los Remedios in Yaiza, 15 minutes before the departure time.[16]

The 4-hour private Timanfaya, El Golfo, and Los Hervideros Tour, with pickup included and a live guide in English.[2]
Is park entry included?
Feeling Lanzarote Tours' private Timanfaya tour lists a visit to the Fire Mountains with the geothermal experiments and the Route of the Volcanoes by bus.[1] The customized island tour and the Wine and volcan private tour list pickup and a private group but no skip-the-ticket-line label; ask the operator whether park tickets are in the price.[3][6]
Tickets bought independently follow CACT's rules. There are no ticket sales at the box office, a date and time must be selected online, and visitors should arrive 15 minutes before their booked time.[8][17] The €30.00 general ticket includes a 35-minute coach route, the geothermal demonstrations and access to Islote de Hilario.[9]
A private car or driver still follows the park's rules. CACT says the national park may not be explored freely by car or on foot, and asks visitors to remain inside the vehicle from El Taro to the car park on the Islote de Hilario.[8][9] The park authority advises leaving a hired vehicle in the Islote de Hilario car park, as its routes are done on foot or aboard the internal park buses.[18]
Hiring a private guide by the hour
Feeling Lanzarote Tours offers a private guide from €193, with a duration of 5 to 10 hours, in German, Spanish, French, Dutch, English, Italian and Bulgarian.[4] Its guides are official guides of the Canary Islands Government, with expertise in subjects such as César Manrique's work, enogastronomy, hiking routes, volcanology, geology, architecture and history.[4]
That guide rate is for the guide alone; transport and meals are paid on top.[4] The company lists its active tourism-hiking licence number, TA-3-0025990.36, and says it picks private-tour clients up at the door of their accommodation, with the exact address entered at booking.[1][4]
Lanzarote's licensed tourism guides have their own island association, APIT, formed in 2012 to defend guides' rights as tourism professionals.[19] Since 2015 APIT has been part of CEFAPIT, the national tourism-guide federation, which in turn belongs to FEG and WFTGA.[19]
Who a private volcano tour suits
The customized island tour and the Wine and volcan private tour are both listed as wheelchair accessible.[3][6] CACT says the Route of the Volcanoes has adapted coaches, and the accessible-tourism assessor Equalitas Vitae records two accessible toilet cabins at Montañas del Fuego.[9][20]
Montañas del Fuego has no parking bays specially marked for reduced-mobility visitors, but park staff point out the most convenient spaces.[20] CACT's visitor guide notes that access with a pushchair can be difficult and recommends bringing a baby carrier.[9]
Languages vary by operator. Feeling Lanzarote Tours lists 7 languages, Bulgarian and Dutch among them, while CACT gives the Route of the Volcanoes audio guide as Spanish, English and German in its What to do section and as Spanish and English in its FAQ.[1][8][9]
