Lanzarote’s leading excursion provider, oklanzarote.com, has introduced a collection of eco-friendly guided tours designed to help visitors appreciate the island’s beauty while actively protecting its fragile environment.
The island has become a trailblazer in the field of responsible tourism. Earlier this year, Lanzarote’s Cabildo and tourist board rolled out a campaign encouraging visitors to adopt more mindful travel habits that safeguard the landscape and support the well-being of local residents.
In a further demonstration of its global leadership, Lanzarote will host the 30th anniversary of the World Charter for Sustainable Tourism at the renowned Jameos del Agua on 2 July 2025 – highlighting the island’s commitment to conservation-led tourism.
oklanzarote.com’s curated tours include small-group volcanic hikes to ease crowding on popular trails, along with ecological and cultural experiences that focus on Lanzarote’s volcanic heritage and the work of visionary artist César Manrique.
The company’s marine eco-tours comply with conservation measures in the Chinijo Archipelago Marine Reserve and create opportunities for local businesses by collaborating with family-owned restaurants, wineries and regional guides.
These excursions offer UK travellers an opportunity to explore Lanzarote in an environmentally conscious way while discovering its unique cultural and natural heritage.
Although Lanzarote saw more than 3.2 million tourists in 2024, local authorities are prioritising the island’s conservation. A pilot project has already launched shuttle bus services to the Volcanoes Natural Park to reduce private car traffic during peak times – a move aimed at supporting sustainable access to Timanfaya and nearby protected zones.
“Our new eco-tours allow visitors to enjoy Lanzarote in a way that safeguards its volcanic and marine heritage,” said Luis Manzano, founder of oklanzarote.com.
“British visitors are increasingly looking for holidays that combine sunshine with purpose. Lanzarote now offers not just beaches and resorts, but also eco-experiences that align with the values of today’s responsible traveller.
“We want travellers to experience the island’s magic while ensuring it remains unspoilt for generations to come.”
