Walking through the Lanzarote countryside was both great exercise and a learning experience about the culture of the island. Raquel was very informative about the flora and fauna, farming practices, and geology of the area, as well as a good trail guide. Perfect amount of hiking for a shore excursion for people who are reasonably fit.

Itinerary
Then we will be heading to the charming village of Haria located at the bottom of the One Thousand Palm Tree Valley and where on Saturdays it holds the only handicraft market on the island. Good spot to buy goat cheese, jams & the traditional "mojos" (Canarian sauces) etc or just seat down and enjoy the market´s atmosphere while having a drink. Afterwards, we will make our way back to Maguez.

Great views of coast and islands. Lovely market and town visit. Grateful for Jose helping me as I developed a cold the day before and struggled with the hill climb. Picked & dropped off at our Villa.
We had a great hiking trip with Raquel, who was very knowledgable about the specific hiking destination as well as the island of Lanzarote in general. Many things we saw on the island only made sense to us after her insightful explanations, especially how to "read the" volcanic history of Lanzarote through its landscape. In addition, Raquel was well equipped with anything you could possibly need, and gave us a feeling of safety, guidance and of being welcome throughout the entire trip. Oh and last but not least, the landscape is stunning, especially omce you get to see the ocean coast and the rocky cliffs from high above.
Great walk ,with amazing scenery,our guide was great , great knowledge and very friendly, would definitely use him again.
Excellent trip, Jose was very informative and made sure we all enjoyed the walk. One of the best tours I’ve done.
There are some amazing views on this walk, in particular a spectacular view down the west coast from the top of a volcano. The tour was at the opposite end of the island from where we are staying but the transfer was superb. Can’t begin to express how good our guide Jose was, you feel very welcome. We met up with people who we’d shared another one of Jose’s treks, we’d all booked independently after we’d enjoyed the fist one so much
Rachel was an excellent guide. She speaks many languages fluently and was able to instruct us on much of the plant life and geography/geology as we walked. You need to be quite fit to do this walk and there is one particularly steep climb and descent that is not only strenuous but also close to a cliff edge so not good if you have a fear of heights. Not sure this is made clear in the description of the trip but otherwise we couldn’t fault it at all.
Jose the tour guide was very friendly,informative and knowledgeable in the tour and on the area we were hiking as well as any question you asked about Lanzarote in general. The hike was gentle and plenty of stops for photo's,chat.... No rush.Just a nice relaxing pace. Some stunning views of the valleys and cliffs of famara. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing day had by all. Would highly recommend Blackstone,Walkinglanzarote hike tours to anyone who loves hiking.
This walk has been very well thought out and is a very pleasurable experience. We started from a very nice cafe where our guide Jose bought us coffee and explained the route.Which includes some fabulous views down to the sea and walking through a lovely artisan market where you can buy local cheese etc. Jose is a font of knowledge about the island, its people, plants and animals which he provides as a superbly interesting commentary during the walk. He also guides other walks and if we had time we would definitely have taken up the opportunity.
From start to finish we found our day out with Jose to be a very enjoyable experience. We were collected from our hotel and introduced to the other members of the group. Before starting the walk Jose treated us to a coffee at a nice cafe, this gave us an opportunity to get to know the other people in the group. We were offered walking poles, water, fruit and energy bars, everything we would need for the day. During the walk Jose told us a lot about local history and the way of life in the area, he also showed us many local plants and discussed their uses. The scenery was spectacular.We also stopped at a small Saturday market where people sold locally produced arts and crafts. If you,re in Lanzarote and like to walk this walking tour is to be recommended.
This company well deserves all the 5 star reviews it's getting. Excellent, from first contact emails, hotel pick up in good quality of vehicle, coffee in Cafe Los Roferos after driving to the start of the walk, provision of rainware, treking poles, water, fruit and biscuit, route planning, care of each of us on the walk, according to individual needs and interests, and follow up plant identification email after the walk. A thoroughly enjoyable experience with an outstanding guide. Thank you, Jose!
Bonita experiencia con vistas espectaculares. Raquel es un encanto de persona y nos explicó muchísimas cosas interesantes.
The hike was really great. Our guide, Jose, was just great and took the time to explain a lot of history and nature to us.
Notre guide était incroyable. Un amoureux de la nature et moi je suis tombée amoureuse de son île. Réservez les yeux fermés
We had a 4 hrs. Tour booked and had with Manolo a very safe driver and with Rachel a great guide with a lot of information about the island. We would definitely recommend this tour.
