Lanzarote, located off the west coast of Africa is one of the most popular islands for tourism in the Canaries, a popular destination for both on the water and under the water sports seekers. As a solo traveller you should hold no fear about exploring this wonderful island. Lanzarote is a warm destination in both temperature and atmosphere; the people are welcoming and proud of their volcanic island, with its biosphere status boosting its image further. The diving on the island is some of the best in Europe; Active Diving can offer insight into some of the islands history and underwater legend.
Lanzarote is the perfect destination for solo travellers, Active Diving ensure that there is a strong community vibe upon arrival right through to departure. We have the Active Centre located on Las Cucharas beach which acts as a meeting point for divers as well as a core place to share stories, drink a beer and watch the world go by after a hard day under the water.
As a solo traveller, Costa Teguise, where Active Diving is based, is the perfect area of Lanzarote to stay. Costa Teguise offers a lot less hustle and bustle compared to the main resort Puerto del Carmen, allowing you to get absorbed in the relatively small community and get to know the other divers.
The accommodation available across Costa Teguise when travelling with Active Diving is all of a similar standard; some apartments are located in central Costa whereas others are a 15 minute walk to the centre of the area. No matter where you stay however you’re no more than a 15 minute walk or €3 taxi ride from good restaurants and bars. High quality accommodation is available however most travellers looking to dive are uninterested in their accommodation as most of their time is spent at the dive school or under the water.
Extra activities on offer on top of diving include Windsurfing (The windsurfing world championships are held every year in Costa Teguise during July), Surfing, Mountain biking, Trekking and Kitesurfing. During your time in Lanzarote with Active Diving you will most likely meet other guests taking part in some of these activities and they will share their experiences from throughout their holiday. Lanzarote is a real adventure destination where you will meet like minded individuals looking for adventure whilst sampling new sports and experiences from learning to Scuba Dive to achieving their divemaster, the options are endless.
Its becoming increasingly popular for visitors to learn to speak Spanish whilst on the island, Active Diving offer a crash course in Spanish around your diving so that you can competently order food, give directions and start basic conversations in Spanish during your time on the island.
All in all Lanzarote is a perfectly safe and welcome place for solo travellers, offering a holiday destination for some of the best diving in Europe whilst discovering a new landscape and commonly making long term friends through the Active Diving community here on the island.
