Adventure Instead of Entertainment – Activities with Children on La Graciosa
La Graciosa is not a family holiday with entertainers and water slides. But for families willing to try something different, the island offers adventures that no water park can match: volcanoes, sea turtles, jeep safaris, white beaches without the crowds.
The Best Activities for Children
Snorkelling with Turtles
Playa de la Cocina: the best snorkelling experience for children. Turtles, goldlined sea bream, octopuses – in clear, calm water. From approx. 7–8 years with your own equipment.
Jeep Safari Through the North
A jeep taxi with a driver through the sand tracks – that is a real adventure for children from the age of 5. The gravel tracks, the sand dunes, the view of the neighbouring islands: captivates children and adults alike.
With children’s bikes, seats or trailers – the southern route to Playa Francesa is the most family-friendly cycling tour. 2.5 km of flat sand track, beach at the end.
Catamaran Tour
Watching dolphins from a boat: an unforgettable experience for children. Book the sunset catamaran or special family boat tours from Caleta del Sebo.
Exploring Caleta del Sebo Harbour
Fishing boats, climbing the harbour wall, watching seagulls, seeing the first ferry arrive – the harbour is an adventure playground for young children.
