Canary Islands Walking - Lanzarote

We enjoyed a fabulous adventure walking through a beautiful, awe inspiring landscape. Each day was more spectacular than the last. The trails were lightly travelled, some days we had them to ourselves. At the end of the day we returned to our accommodation which was in a quiet part of town but close to fabulous restaurants for dinner. We would not have enjoyed ourselves half as much if not for our amazing trip leader Adrien and the rest of our small group of laughter mates.

Our tour leader was the highlight of our trip. He really was excellent!

This was an enjoyable holiday. I feel uneasy about delivering this verdict, as it owes much to a severe flood at the start of the itinerary (one that affected numerous homes and businesses ). However, the inundation of our hotel block ensured that we had to be relocated from our scheduled accommodation, in the surprisingly grotty resort where we were dropped off from the airport, to some holiday apartments in an altogether quieter and tidier part of the island. Our emergency apartments- largely because they hadn't been expecting us until hours before our arrival - did fall short of traditional Explore-hotel standards (e.g. no fruit juice or cereal for breakfast, no Wi-Fi). But the itinerary was brilliant, while our young guide was one of the best I've encountered in almost 40 years of travelling with Explore.

Ester was a superb guide. Always went the extra mile and proved adaptable, reliable and resourceful
