Our take
The classic all-in option for seeing Papagayo from the sea out of Puerto del Carmen, with food and drinks sorted. Bear in mind it is a large boat and you do not set foot on the beach; for something quieter, the mini cruise from Playa Blanca is shorter and cheaper.
What's included
- Catamaran cruise with on-board commentary
- Welcome mojito with papas arrugadas and mojo
- Lunch on board (paella or pasta) and fruit
- Open bar of draught beer, sangria, soft drinks and water
- Use of kayaks
- Transfers from Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen or Costa Teguise (depending on option)
Not included
- Snorkelling equipment
- Going ashore at the beach
Good to know

Things to keep in mind

The experience
What you will see
- Lanzarote's volcanic south coast from the sea.

Who I recommend it for
- Families and groups wanting an all-inclusive day on a boat.
- Anyone staying in Puerto del Carmen or Costa Teguise.
Who I don't recommend it for
- Anyone who wants to go ashore at Papagayo.
- Anyone who gets seasick easily.
