Visited December 16, 2023. Absolutely loved Lanzarote. Of the 3 islands visited, this one felt like it was more of a foreign country. Cesar Manrique designed this attraction using the surrounding elements as he did with so many things on the island. At first you may not see anything in this pool of water inside the volcanic tunnel, but just look very closely and you will see a TON of mini, albino crabs. Very peaceful to just sit and watch. Be sure to keep walking and you will find a hidden oasis! There are a few nice cave bars inside where you can grab a drink. There's also an interactive museum and an impressive cave theatre with mirrors on one side. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore! This place was a lot larger than 1st expected. read more

I'm not one to trash a local landmark, but for me this place is a huge waste of time and euro. You drop just under 10euro to enter and the first thing you see are tables and a bar. Then you get to the cave, which is filled with crystal clear water and tiny blind white crabs. Again, for me, this wasn't 'wow' worthy and the small pieces of trash and coins in the water distracted from any sense of beauty. Nothing says amazing lagoon like a Trident wrapper floating along the surface of the water. Moving on, the next 'sight' was the blue pool and oh, was it just that, a pool. People were taking pics of a pool where the water was just as clear as the local ocean or your own backyard swimming hole. Weird. The volcano museum was up next and was equally as lame as the pool. This place hasn't been updated since the 70's. I felt like I was in the Flinstone house with some outdated volcano pictures on the wall. Overall, as a 'cave bar' and concert hall it's a probably a 4-5 star establishment. Take a look at the concert venue pic, very cool and unique. Having a few drinks in a cave, also cool. But as a landmark (that someone drove 45-min to get to), it's not great. read more

See all

A hefty entrance fee for a mediocre experience. The famous albino crabs are very small, although the cave they are in is quite interesting. The following area, designed by famous artist César Manrique, is cool but not overly exciting. And the following display of volcano research could have been interesting, if it wasn't for the fact that it was (or seems to have been) last updated on the sixties. All the photos, which once were probably very colorful, were all faded and dull, the videos uninteresting, and the displays aged. Only go here if you are a fan of mini albino crabs, or don't have anything better to do for 9€ - per person. read more

Love this place when its really hot its a bit unfair that you cant jump in the pool but the little crabs are soooo cute!

Fascinating, and those little white crabs !! Love the place, but if you are not keen on climbing and steps don't go I would reccomend it any day though read more

Amazing architecture. The blue pool is such a beautiful sight. Well worth a visit.

A lovely place to chill out and take some awesome photos. The blue lagoon is just for show which is dissapointing, but its a lovely setting and location. There are two places inside for food and drink. you also get to see the blind white crabs which live in the crystal clear water of the cave. how the survive so isolated is anyones guess. read more
