What to expect

Larger-than-life Lanzarote legend Cesar Manrique left his imprint all over the island, but nowhere more so than the north. The architect was inspired by the region's extraordinary geology. This tour takes in three of his works – the Green Caves, Jameos del Agua and Mirador del Rio. David, one of our local guides, says, ‘The north of the island was a canvas for Manrique's palette. As he used to say, “the north is still the traditional Lanzarote.”

First up are the Green Caves, where a maze of galleries and stairways lead you to a natural auditorium. These caverns – 16 have been discovered so far – are air bubbles that are linked by a tunnel created by the lava flow from a volcanic eruption. Manrique was instrumental in adapting the cave system for visitors. His influence is even more pronounced in the Jameos del Agua. Here, he harmonised this roofless volcanic cave, adding rock gardens and a glassy lake, filled with blind, white crabs found only in Lanzarote.

Also on the agenda is Mirador del Rio, one of Manrique's most sci-fi creations. Not only does this viewpoint blend in seamlessly with its surroundings atop a 470m cliff, but it boasts wow-factor vistas across to the island of La Graciosa. Next, you'll head to Haria for a lunch made from locally sourced ingredients in a typical Canarian house. Plus, there's a pit stop to see the famed ‘red house' in the fishing village of Arrieta.

A disappointing start to the day, we missed breakfast for a 8.10 pickup to find after a large number of stops we had to swop coaches at Teguise some two hours later. The swop coach was delayed and there was a total mix up on European speaking numbers so eventually we ended back on our original coach. We left Teguise to arrive at our first stop an Aloe Vera sales pitch, not impressed! We finally arrived at the caves after 3.5 hours on the road! The rest of the day was good but rushed.

Our guide, was amazing. His knowledge of the area and the geology was outstanding . It shone through how dedicated he was and his love and respect for Lanzarote. He was funny and very charismatic and a great speaker whilst keeping the tour informed and safe. Nothing we didn’t like

Guide was awful. Worse trip ever. It should be clear that this trip is not suitable for toddlers and small children. Pick up at 8:30 -no stop for coffee/toilets till 2pm. Aggressive guide shouting and giving us a lecture on social media for under 25s. No itinerary shared. Food inedible at lunch. Long journey due to swap over of customers taking over an hour -APPALLING will be advising on social media NOT to go on this trip.

Nat Geo Day Tour: La Geria, Vineyards that Sprouted from Fire

When Timanfaya's six long years of eruptions ceased in 1736, the farmers of La Geria believed their fertile lands were lost forever under a thick layer of ash. But the local families needed to make the land productive again, and through sheer hard work and determination, they succeeded in creating the vineyards of La Geria. You'll start off with a scenic walk, following trails through private vineyards belonging to the family-owned bodega of Nacho Romero, opened exclusively for National Geographic travellers. As you soak up the unique character of these landscapes where vineyards are surrounded by volcanoes, the owner will explain how the layer of volcanic ash, known locally as ‘picón,' has shaped their cultivation methods, which are unique in the world. If you are lucky enough to find them ripe, you might even get to pick grapes straight from the vine as you hear Nacho or his wife Luisa, both winemakers, talk about the characteristics of volcanic wine. Back at the bodega after the walk, you'll be able to sample one of the artisanal wines that Nacho and Luisa make in their home winery. Next, you'll head to Bodega La Geria – another important component of the ecological wine making movement. The winemaker himself will show you around the bodega. Find out the secrets of the hollows, called ‘zocos' which shelter the vines from the wind, and discover the different varieties of grapes that thrive in Lanzarote's volcanic terroir. To finish, savour a tasting of one of the estate's renowned wines with local cheese and crackers.
