Reviews Timanfaya National Park
“Maybe I'm biased, as we last did that trip 24 years ago, when the island just wasn't that busy, but the whole trip felt rushed, which ruined things somewhat. Yes, of course it was worth the volcanic tour and the amazing demonstration at the end, but when everything was “back on the bus in 10 minutes” and the queues for the toilets were longer (and some needed a coin for access, which we didn't have and weren't told about!), it was hard to enjoy the trip.”
“Salt visit5/10. Green lagoon5/10 . Wine 2/10 Yuatzi town 0/10 Timafaya park 8/10”
“The guide seemed to talk more German than English. There was very little time to do anything at any of the stops. I don't have any interest in salt and tour guide spend more time here then anywhere else. I was very disappointed. Definitely not worth the money spent.”
“There wasn't any time at the visits 15 minutes to see and get round everything really?”
