| There is a wide range of leisure activities in Lanzarote,
offering something for everybody: 
Have you ever
fished sharks for sport? Fishing boats leave daily to take
you out to sea where you can entertain yourself with sport fishing.
Or do
you prefer to be just comfortably taken across the sea on a boat excursion? Most
boats sail from Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca or Puerto Calero, passing along
the southern coast of our island. But there are also boat
trips in the North of the island, leaving from Órzola to the islets of
La Graciosa and Alegranza. Furthermore, you can sail on a catamaran or a genuine
two-masted fore-and-aft schooner - a pirate ship that you will leave a real pirate!
Or what about diving into Lanzarote's marine world without getting wet? Just
get on the mini 'Yellow Submarine' and watch through glass panes the fauna and
flora of the sea. Both experienced surfers and beginners
can choose from a wide range of offers of equipment rentals, lessons, etc. The
best surfing conditions are found on Lanzarote's northern and north-eastern coastal
strips. For scuba divers, the sea around Lanzarote
is paradise! It is famous for its diverse, fascinating marine life. Being of volcanic
origin, the bizarre seabed houses a great variety of plant and animal life. The
extensive flora and fauna can be perfectly watched in the marvellously clear water.
Different centres offer diving courses of high quality, rent out the necessary
diving equipment and inform you about the best areas for diving. Golf
fans will be rather taken with Lanzarote. Thanks to the constantly warm climate,
golf can be played here the whole year round. The 18-hole golf course of Costa
Teguise was opened in 1978. A further one is being created in Playa Blanca; and
there is a driving range in Puerto del Carmen. Furthermore, there are guided
hiking tours, including the clambering through volcanic caves,
climbing of mountains, or walking over the volcanic area along the coast of the
national park 'Timanfaya'. There are numerous bike rentals for those who
love biking. Most have special maps for their customers,
containing specific details of the tours to make and the sights to see. Or
enjoy floating through the air with a hang-glider. However,
better follow the information by insiders on the suitable slopes! Take
pleasure in the beauty of our Island's landscape while riding a horse!
Excursions, lessons, and coach trips are offered in Puerto del Carmen and Uga. What about go-karting?
Two carting- tracks, one in San Bartolomé and an other one in Puerto del
Carmen take will provide you with exciting fun. See: Gran
Karting Club Lanzarote
And those who would like to experience the normally
inaccessible places of Lanzarote should join in a jeep safari
and discover the secluded, deserted spots of our beautiful island. National
parks: For old and young alike, the 'Guinate Tropical Park'
in Máguez is a real experience. More than 1.300 birds and other exotic
animals can be observed here. The 'Pardelas Park' in Órzola offers
children and young people of all ages the contact with the local fauna and flora
within a protected environment. If you then have any energy left over,
in the evening you can try to hit the jackpot in Puerto del Carmen's Casino
in a pleasant atmosphere.
And night life in the tourist
resorts has got what it takes! In the numerous establishments, you can choose
between live music of any style: from rock 'n' roll over soul music, jazz, rumba
and flamenco up to Canarian folk music. For long nights, the many discos offer
the latest sounds into the early morning. This list only gives suggestions
and does not expect to be considered as a complete guide to Lanzarote's tourist
attractions.
