Our take
A good way to see the north in half a day without a car, in a small group and at a fair price. It is convenient if you are staying in Corralejo or Puerto del Rosario; from the south you lose time reaching the meeting point, and another tour may suit you better.

The experience
What you will see
- The Corralejo dunes, inside the natural park.
- The Calderón Bayuyo crater, near Lajares.
- El Cotillo, a fishing village on the west coast.
- The El Tostón lighthouse, with views of Lanzarote and natural rock pools.
How it works
You are picked up at your hotel in the north or centre and start at the Corralejo dunes. Then you climb the Calderón Bayuyo crater, continue to El Cotillo to see the village and finish at El Tostón lighthouse, where you can swim in the pools if the sea allows. There is a stop to buy something to eat.

- Anyone wanting to see the north in a small group.
Who I don't recommend it for
