Discover La Graciosa by Catamaran

If you’re looking for one of the most relaxing and enjoyable excursions during your holiday in Lanzarote, a catamaran cruise around La Graciosa should be high on your list.

Just a short ferry ride from the northern village of Órzola, La Graciosa is the smallest inhabited island in the Canary Islands and offers a completely different atmosphere to Lanzarote. With its sandy streets, whitewashed houses, crystal-clear waters and laid-back way of life, it’s the perfect destination for a memorable day out.

Most organised excursions include coach transfers from various pick-up points around Lanzarote, making it easy to join whether or not you have a hire car. If you prefer to drive yourself, you can simply make your own way to Órzola and board the express ferry, which takes around 25 minutes to reach La Graciosa.

Once you arrive, you’ll board a spacious catamaran and set sail for several hours exploring the island’s spectacular coastline.

The experience begins with a warm welcome from the crew, accompanied by a selection of traditional Canarian snacks, including local cheeses, tomato bread, Canarian potatoes, olives and fresh melon, along with a complimentary glass of champagne.

Throughout the cruise, guests can enjoy unlimited soft drinks, beer and wine from the onboard bar while taking in the stunning volcanic scenery and turquoise Atlantic waters.

The catamaran anchors in a beautiful sheltered bay where there’s plenty of time to swim in the crystal-clear sea, snorkel or take one of the available kayaks out for a paddle. If you’d rather relax, you can simply sunbathe on deck, enjoy the music and soak up the peaceful surroundings.

A freshly prepared lunch is served onboard, typically consisting of pasta, salad and fresh fruit, giving everyone the chance to recharge before making the most of the afternoon.

With plenty of free time afterwards, you can continue swimming, kayaking, dancing or simply relaxing while surrounded by some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in the Canary Islands.

Before returning to the harbour, finish with a complimentary shot of Ron Miel, a traditional Canarian honey rum liqueur. Smooth, sweet and usually served chilled, it’s a favourite across the islands and a lovely way to end the sailing experience.

Before catching the ferry back to Lanzarote, you’ll usually have some free time to wander around the main village on La Graciosa.

The island feels wonderfully untouched by modern life. Sandy streets replace busy roads, fishing boats fill the harbour, and life moves at a gentle pace. It’s the perfect place to enjoy an ice cream, browse the small local shops or simply sit by the waterfront and admire the views.

This is one of those excursions where everything is taken care of, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy the day. The combination of the ferry crossing, catamaran cruise, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, lunch, unlimited drinks and free time to explore La Graciosa makes it one of the best value day trips available from Lanzarote.
