Islet Hilario

We went to visit it at about 9:30 AM on a Monday in July. After paying, there was a long queue of cars so we had to wait about 90 minutes, but it was definitely worth the wait. The bus takes you through the scenic volcanic landscape which you can't see anywhere else on our planet. The bus driver also stops at interesting places so people can get a better look at them or take pictures. The bus tour lasted about 35 minutes. After we ate lunch and tried their meat that is cooked by volcanic heat, it tasted great. The price of the food was more than reasonable considering this is in a national park. The staff was also very friendly. I would definitely recommend visiting this place if it is your first time on Lanzarote.

Absolutely worth to visit as the volcanic sceneries are amazing and breathtaking. We visited the park on Tuesday, arrived at 9:20 AM and had to wait around 50 minutes to get parked. Be aware, that you have to pay the entrance fee in cash at the very first stop a kilometer before the parking lot. Three adults and one kid was €77. The bus tour was fantastic. The driver stopped couple of times and you can take pictures from inside the bus. After the tour we enjoyed cakes and coffee in the restaurant.

See nature at its best! Food grilled using natural heat from beneath the surface - incredible. Experience a thrust of steam shoot up when water is poured down a hole that has a very high temperature beneath. We all enjoyed the experience here - comes recommended when visiting the area.

We went on a coach tour in June. The first part was driving past the queue of cars waiting to get in. It went on and on. Apparently the queue for cars is about 2 to 3 hours and you only get a limited view of the National Park. The coach option is much better. No waiting to get in and a long tour of the park with a guide. There is a restaurant where the food is cooked on a barbecue over the natural heat of the volcano. There are also demonstrations of the heat which lies just a few feet below the ground. Thoroughly recommended (in a coach).

We visited the park as part of a bus trip and saw a terrible traffic jam at the entrance. Our guide told us that visiting by bus is the best option. Only buses are allowed to use the special route—cars are not permitted to enter. (They can only park at the main parking lot) So, if you’re stuck in traffic just to reach the main area (where there’s a bar and a few demonstrations like hot gravel and water boiling when poured), I’d say it’s not really worth it. With the bus, we took an internal road that’s not accessible to regular cars and stopped at the most interesting spots to take photos. I definitely recommend booking a bus excursion, just like we did. Buses also got priority so they dont wait in traffic jam. Bring a jacket or sweatshirt cause wind might be strong and weather might be different then on the beaches down. The main parking area is also on a steep slope.

Wow! I don't really know how to explain just how mind blowing this place is. We attended via a coach tour booked through our holiday provider and to be honest it seems to be the best way to do this. You won't know how amazing this place is until you visit.

Do not go in a rental car, waiting time is over 1 hour. You also have to park your car and get on a bus to see the volcanic area. But if you are on a guided tour bus, you go straight to the point and the same bus will show you the area. Much more comfortable and easy.

The Visitor Centre for the National Volcanic Park. With a car you have to park here and get a bus tour, there can be large queues to access the limited parking spaces so go early or late, else you can be waiting some time Great demonstrations of the heat just under the surface from National Park employees. Also a cafe/restaurant and toilets
