Arrecife Travel Forum

Hello! I will be in Arrecife for one day on November 26th from a cruise and wanted to be able to go to Timanfaya National Park and possibly some of the other sites on the island (caves, cactus garden..etc..), time permitting, but am unsure how to navigate/get around the island. Should I try to rent a car for the day, taxis, or are there buses that would take me to the park and other sites. Are there any car rentals near the port? What is the best way to get around the island.

THANKS

Well, I donŽt know how well the public transport works but I would opt for the rental if you only have one day. YouŽll be more mobile and save the time waiting for buses...

Cheers

Yeah, i doubt you'll get a bus on boxing day(26th). i'd go for car rental. it's pretty cheap, petrol is cheap and the island is tiny. But it's not that small that you'd want to do it all by taxi unless you're loaded. The roads are great, no traffic, and I covered it all in 2 days last new year. I'd also advise if you do get a car to go up top of lanzarote, magnificent views at miromar del rio. you'll get fab views at national park too tho'. Arrecife itself is a nice town. and there's even an IKEA out by the motorway, they can't keep me away from those hotdogs. lol. have a great cruise.
