Jameos del Agua

It's really pretty, not as many crabs as I was expecting. Took some beautiful photos and am glad we visited but I do find it's quite over priced compared to other attractions and what you get for your entry fee. Loved the coffee shop and I would have spent in the gist shop had it not cost £40 odd quid to get in for less than an hour.

Beautiful scenery/architecture work by C. Manrique. However, the price of €16 without the volcanic house is absurd. You pay to see the small lake and the pool, which only takes 5 minutes to see unless you decide to take a break there. Otherwise, you pay for the privilege of eating at one of the many restaurants/cafés and visiting the gift shop.

Definitely worth to visit with the “Casa del Volcan” combined. Tickets were available at the cassa and it took 1,5-2 hours. “Jameos del agua” is a collapsed volcanic lava tube that is filled with seawater with special blind white mini crabs 🦀. There is a restaurant which provides dinner in this stunning ambient. Additionally we visited the Casa del volcan what you can reach from inside the “park” and it’s an interesting interactive “science museum” about the volcanoes 🌋…even my 6 years old kid enjoyed lot. If you like to exploring/learning is absolutely a great site to visit.

Jameos del Agua was one of our favourite stops in Lanzarote – such a unique and beautiful place. The setting is incredible, with volcanic caves transformed into something truly special. We had some drinks while enjoying the atmosphere, and it was such a relaxing experience. Seeing the tiny white crabs in the lake was amazing – such a rare and fascinating sight. The concert hall was also impressive, and the whole design of the space blends nature and architecture in such a creative way. The views throughout are stunning, and every corner feels worth exploring. We absolutely loved our visit and would recommend it to anyone visiting the island.

Incredible, a spot of beauty and nature merged together. The team has made a great job in preserving this place and proposing a space to enjoy lunch or even coffee. I was mesmerized by the design and encourage anyone to see this place before leaving the island

A masterpiece by César Manrique in Lanzarote Los Jameos del Agua is the first art, culture and tourism center designed by the visionary César Manrique. Originally formed by the eruption of the La Corona volcano, Los Jameos del Agua shares its origins with La Cueva de los Verdes. The name comes from the Canarian term "jameo": a natural opening in the roof of a lava tube. The first place you see is Jameo Chico This is the first tunnel (or "jameo") Here you will find: A natural underground lake, formed by ocean waters filtered through porous rock where live White blind crabs ("Munidopsis polymorpha") - a unique, endemic, extremely rare species that only lives here. These tiny crabs (approx. 1 cm) are the symbol of the place. Opened in 1968, this unique space was transformed by Manrique into a world-renowned cultural landmark. The project was completed in 1977, marking his first major intervention in the Lanzarote landscape. In 1977, the Auditorium was also inaugurated, and in 1987, the Casa de los Volcanes, a volcanology museum, opened. It is preferable to buy tickets online, otherwise you will have to queue at the entrance. There is parking. I recommend!

Not worth the experience for 16 euros. Once you've entered the location, you'll have the bar/restaurant inside the cave and then a lake at the very bottom. The lake itself it's nice, but you won't spend more than 5 minutes there as it's very crowded and not much to see. If you're having young kids, please be careful as it's pretty easy to fall when you'll need to proceed to the other side. After the lake, you'll proceed to another section where you'll be able to see the pool. Again, the pool is nice to see to take few pictures but that's pretty much it. Once you'll see the pool, you'll proceed to a gift shop and that's it. In other words, unless you really plan to go and have dinner inside the restaurant cave for a different experience, you'll only have a lake and a pool which is not worth the price in my opinion. We've spent 32 euros two ppl for 15 minutes.

An amazing experience, this was a lovely afternoon visit. Stunning lava tunnel and home to the Blind Crab with some amazing photo opportunities. Very busy and many people coming through. But so happy we took the time to visit. Cafe to sit and keep cool from the midday sun too :) staff super friendly.

Visited December 16, 2023. Absolutely loved Lanzarote. Of the 3 islands visited, this one felt like it was more of a foreign country. Cesar Manrique designed this attraction using the surrounding elements as he did with so many things on the island. At first you may not see anything in this pool of water inside the volcanic tunnel, but just look very closely and you will see a TON of mini, albino crabs. Very peaceful to just sit and watch. Be sure to keep walking and you will find a hidden oasis! There are a few nice cave bars inside where you can grab a drink. There's also an interactive museum and an impressive cave theatre with mirrors on one side. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore! This place was a lot larger than 1st expected.

I'm not one to trash a local landmark, but for me this place is a huge waste of time and euro. You drop just under 10euro to enter and the first thing you see are tables and a bar. Then you get to the cave, which is filled with crystal clear water and tiny blind white crabs. Again, for me, this wasn't 'wow' worthy and the small pieces of trash and coins in the water distracted from any sense of beauty. Nothing says amazing lagoon like a Trident wrapper floating along the surface of the water. Moving on, the next 'sight' was the blue pool and oh, was it just that, a pool. People were taking pics of a pool where the water was just as clear as the local ocean or your own backyard swimming hole. Weird. The volcano museum was up next and was equally as lame as the pool. This place hasn't been updated since the 70's. I felt like I was in the Flinstone house with some outdated volcano pictures on the wall. Overall, as a 'cave bar' and concert hall it's a probably a 4-5 star establishment. Take a look at the concert venue pic, very cool and unique. Having a few drinks in a cave, also cool. But as a landmark (that someone drove 45-min to get to), it's not great.

A hefty entrance fee for a mediocre experience. The famous albino crabs are very small, although the cave they are in is quite interesting. The following area, designed by famous artist César Manrique, is cool but not overly exciting. And the following display of volcano research could have been interesting, if it wasn't for the fact that it was (or seems to have been) last updated on the sixties. All the photos, which once were probably very colorful, were all faded and dull, the videos uninteresting, and the displays aged. Only go here if you are a fan of mini albino crabs, or don't have anything better to do for 9€ - per person.

Love this place when its really hot its a bit unfair that you cant jump in the pool but the little crabs are soooo cute!

Fascinating, and those little white crabs !! Love the place, but if you are not keen on climbing and steps don't go I would reccomend it any day though

Amazing architecture. The blue pool is such a beautiful sight. Well worth a visit.

A lovely place to chill out and take some awesome photos. The blue lagoon is just for show which is dissapointing, but its a lovely setting and location. There are two places inside for food and drink. you also get to see the blind white crabs which live in the crystal clear water of the cave. how the survive so isolated is anyones guess.
