CANARY ISLANDS and LANZAROTE

Tourist Information For The Fortunate Isles

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands and especially Lanzarote have much to offer. If you want an active holiday, whether it be; scuba diving, surfing, boat cruises, catamaran sailing, submarine tours, sight seeing, playing golf or simply having a relaxing holiday, then look no further you have found the ideal location.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote is famous for some of the top dive sites in the Canary Islands. The clear Atlantic waters in a tropical climate make diving a pleasurable experience. You will see a variety of marine life, from hundreds of species of fish, shipwrecks and underwater caves. There is also an underwater conservation area where visibility is up to 30 metres. There is an area close to Puerto Calero (accessed by boat) called Punta Tinosa, which is a reef, formed from solidified lava, and supports a wide variety of marine life. All dive centres provide kit hire if you don’t want to bring your own, if you are already qualified please remember to bring your certificates with you. Or simply take advantage of the excellent tuition that can be offered at a reasonable cost.

Puerto Calero

Staying at Puerto Calero has the added advantage of being so close to all the activities as most of the boats; catamarans, submarine tours and diving all leave from this wonderful marina.

If golf is your forte then there is currently a golf course located in Costa Teguise. This 18-hole course is surrounded by giant cacti and volcanic lava, which makes your days play all the more interesting with the stunning scenery. Other courses are currently under construction, one is very close to Puerto Calero and another is planned for the south of the island at Playa Blanca.
