Prices and ratings from GetYourGuide, checked October 2026; operators change prices, so treat them as a guide, not a quote.

The express tour is listed as not suitable for people who get motion sick. The day tour’s lunch in Yaiza is not included, and neither is the camel ride; the camel ride guide has what it costs.

Another morning on the south coast

The coast east of Playa Blanca has its own day out under the water: lanzarote-submarine.com covers the passenger submarine that dives from Puerto Calero marina, one of the stops the day tour above also collects from.
