Location: Lanzarote, eternal spring
Lanzarote is pure geology, underwater and moonlike sites, crystal clear waters, thirsty lands,
palms' oasis, it is harmonic life of man and nature. Undoubtedly a land of contrasts.

It is the easternmost island of the Canary Islands, it is identified by the great amount of
volcanoes that cover it due to the great volcanic activity of the early XVIII century.

An eternal spring, the average annual temperature is 21 ºC, adorns each day the blue sky of
Lanzarote and in the evening, the sky is dyed in the clear light of the moonshine.

How to arrive
To Lanzarote: Airport Guacimeta: Located 6 km from the capital, between Arrecife and Puerto

Sunday, March 10th: Catamaran Sailing Adventure
   • Time for all the Adventure ticket holders to enjoy a day of sailing together in a gorgeous
    huge catamaran! Destination: the most famous beach of the island, Papagayo!
Before and after the specific activities, all the participants with Regatta and

welcome cocktail, pool party, dinners, prize awarding ceremony and final party!

All Together - Catamaran Sailing Adventure
 On Sunday, all the Adventure ticket
 holders will sail together in a gorgeous
 and huge catamaran, enjoying the
 sun, the wind and the incredibly
 unique coastline of Lanzarote.
 Destination: Papagayo beach, the
 most beautiful beach of Los Ajaches
 Natural Park.
 Once anchored at the beach, take a
 bath, dive (snorkeling masks and
 tubes provided), go for a ride in jet ski,
 or simply enjoy the sun and good
 music in the catamaran.
 Food and open bar will be provided
 (including refreshments, wine, beer
 and cava).

Option 1 - Road Adventure
 The Road Adventure ticket holders will
 explore the island, its mountains,
 villages and coast in vehicles that give
 the freedom and capture everyone's
 attention with their unusual appearance:
 trikes or buggies.
 On the way, there will be a stop to visit
 the spectacular Timanfaya National Park,
 one of the main attractions on the
 island, with its volcanic landscapes and
 sand-like lava rocks next to big and sharp
 boulders from black, to orange, to red. It
 is an experience you will not forget!
Qualified personnel will accompany us
 to soar the roads along the coast,
 reaching even the highest viewpoints.

Option 2 – Try Scuba Diving
 For beginners, non certified divers:
 experience for the first time the wonder
 of being underwater.
 The instructor will begin by explaining
 how your scuba equipment works, and
 some of the basic dive theory and safety
 procedures.
 Once familiar with the dive gear, it’s
 time to put on the wetsuit and check out
 the fins and mask ready to enter the
 water.
 Your first dive will be in shallow dive
 area, still populated by many types of fish
 and it is not uncommon to see rays and
 angel sharks in the bay.

Option 3 – Underwater Atlantic Museum
 For certified divers: visit the
 underwater Atlantic Museum, officially
 opened in 2017 and now Lanzarote’s
 most popular dive site.
 This the first underwater sculpture
 park in Europe. The Museum consists
 of over 300 individually designed
 sculptures, focusing on themes
 including climate change, the refugee
 crisis, humanity and nature.
 The sculptures were made using pH
 neutral concrete, they have no negative
 impact upon the local flora and fauna.
 Over time, the sculptures change color
 and become covered with coral and
 biological growth, creating an artificial
 reef that is continually evolving.

Option 4 – Stand Up Paddle (SUP)
 Start the day at the SUP school,
 and get acquainted with a new way
 of exploring the ocean. This
 incredible sport can be practiced
 both with or without waves.
 In the first part of the journey,
 paddle along the cost of Puerto del
 Carmen in direction of the relaxed
 beaches of the west coast of the
 island.
 After a couple of hours of
 paddling, stop in a traditional local
 restaurant to enjoy the local tapas
 gastronomy, relax and recharge
 batteries to head back to the
 starting point. You made it!

Option 5 – Surf the Waves
 Lanzarote is considered one of the
 best spots in the world to practice
 surf!
 Start the day learning the specific
 warm ups, learn the safety rules,
 learn how to get past the waves,
 and finally how to ride them
 successfully!
 Learn different maneuvers, and
 practice, try, practice and try again.
 This sport is both addicting and
 energizing, you will not want to
 stop!
 Whether   this is your first time or
 if you want to improve your
 technique, join and surf the waves!
