La Palma, Lanzarote & Tenerife

This carefully designed three-week holiday is led by experienced leaders and enhanced by knowledgeable local guides who join each walk to share their insight into the islands’ landscapes, wildlife and culture.

Your first centre is La Palma, offering some of the Canary Islands’ most spectacular walking. Explore ancient laurel forests, fragrant pine woods and dramatic volcanic landscapes shaped by centuries of eruptions. Walk in the magnificent Caldera de Taburiente National Park and follow sections of the famous Ruta de los Volcanes, with sweeping views across craters, lava fields and the island’s rugged coastline. Discover the colourful capital, Santa Cruz de la Palma, and learn about the island’s unique flora, geology and culture through the insights of expert local guides.

A short inter-island flight takes you to Lanzarote, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a true volcanic wonderland. Here, dramatic lava fields, striking volcanic cones and black-sand beaches contrast with palm groves, vineyards and whitewashed villages. Explore highlights such as Haría, the “Valley of a Thousand Palms”, and walk ancient trading paths to Teguise, the island’s former capital, with sweeping views across to La Graciosa. In Timanfaya National Park, traverse an otherworldly landscape of lava flows and craters, while local guides bring the island’s unique geology and biodiversity vividly to life.

Your final island is Tenerife, where contrasting landscapes await. Based in the historic town of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll discover colonial architecture and vibrant culture. Walk in the lush Anaga Peninsula, where jagged ridges and forested mountains meet the Atlantic, and ascend Mount Teide by cable car for breathtaking panoramic views. Despite Tenerife’s popularity, many of your walks follow quieter trails shaped by ancient volcanic activity, revealing a raw, untamed beauty.

With year-round sunshine and temperatures rarely dropping below 20°C, these three islands provide superb walking conditions, combining volcanic scenery, rich biodiversity and fascinating cultural heritage.
