Some mini bus tours will take you over to the volcanic island for a day to experience impressive natural monuments such as the Timanfaya. And you can also visit the famous Papagayo beaches of the neighboring island on boat trips.

The guides take you to breathtaking scenery and tell you a lot about the country and its people. This will be a special family experience and you will share the beautiful memory for a long time.

What Should You Consider When Booking?

These are the four key aspects you should consider when choosing an organized trip:

• Required minimum age: On some excursions, the participation of children is linked to a minimum age. For example, the little ones can travel in a buggy only from the age of 5 years.
• Maximum number of participants: Families do not always only consist of mother, father and child. Some families go on holiday in larger groups that can easily exceed the maximum number of participants admitted in a trip. For example, only 12 people fit on the Deluxe Catamaran in Morro Jable.
• Hotel transfer: Make sure that the operator of your preferred excursion will pick you up from your hotel and bring you back again. But if you prefer to travel to the venue by yourself, this is certainly possible.
• Availability: Keep in mind that depending on the season, some excursions are quickly booked up, often for days. Therefore, we urgently recommend: make your booking well in advance, to ensure there are enough availabilities.

You will also find all this information in detail in the descriptions of our excursions under “Please note!” and “Services & Prices”.
