No man is an island but Lanzarote is an island that owes a lot to one man. The legacy of artist and architect Cesar Manrique is everywhere. On this land and sea tour, you'll visit two of his creations, LagOmar and the Cactus Garden, and the small volcanic island of La Graciosa.

Manrique's buildings and sculptures dot the island and it's thanks to him that there are no high-rises. He conceived LagOmar to evoke the Arabian Nights tales though it also has the air of a Bond villain lair. Once owned by Omar Shariff, the complex has a cave-bar, a restaurant, apartments and a museum.

Next, you'll visit the Cactus Garden, where Manrique landscaped more than 7,000 cactuses of all shapes and sizes. Then, hop on a boat and sail to La Graciosa, a volcanic island surrounded by Europe's largest marine reserve. Enjoy lunch and some free time on its virgin beaches.

Enjoyed the morning visiting the two places. Trip on boat was fab. Lunch was very organised but no option for vegetarians. Our guide Rachel was fab on the way. Coming back she swapped with someone else. There were two trips merging on the pavement. The guide didn’t seem to know what bus anyone was on. It was total chaos! Then we got dropped off in the town when we had been picked up from the hotel. So a very hot tired walk back. So some great - some chaos.

Really interesting venues and a brilliant guide

It was a lovely experience. Rachel our guide was very welcoming, Friendly and had lots of knowledge. A nice variety to the day. Would of liked longer at La Graciosa. Maybe should have other food options for people who don't like paella.

Too many people. Island trip not particularly interesting. Lunch was very poor. Staff were good The paella was very poor. Two tiny pieces of octopus, some very grisly chicken or rabbit. Two mussels one of which was CLOSED which was dangerous. Disappointed

Good amount of time at the places we visited, with plenty of restroom stops. The only recommendation is to change the language order as English was always last which meant we always had the least time to explore. Our guide Raquel (Rachel) and driver Augustine were both very friendly and professional. We really enjoyed all the places we visited, especially the work of Cesar Manrique. Very beautiful island which we could explore thanks to this tour. Would highly recommend this to everyone.
