Welcome to the Lanzarote cruise port guide. The island of Lanzarote is one of the Canary islands. It is an amazing place to explore. This unique and mesmarizing moon landscape is a geological wonder. The volcanoes have shaped and coloured this landscape for centuries. The most recent eruptions from 1730 – 1736 have covered over a quarter of the island’s surface. It is just another chapter in the ongoing process and the geological formation of the island. Therefore Lanzarote is a living laboratory for scientists. The town of Arrecife is the capital of Lanzarote. It is a nice town with a small historical town and harbour. To make the most out of your time ashore we think it is best to get out of town and explore the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote. Its unique coloured landscape is filled with typical white houses and hidden treasures of art. Find out underneath what you can find on the island of Lanzarote in the Arrecife – Lanzarote cruise port guide.
