Forty-five minutes. That’s how long a plane takes to get you from Arrecife to Las Palmas. Fifty to Tenerife North. Less than most people’s commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re in Lanzarote for a week or more, the odds are a couple of days still have nothing pencilled in. Those are exactly the days that let you do something most visitors never consider: catch a morning flight, spend the day on another island, and sleep in your own apartment that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The neighbouring islands hold the three best-known parks in the archipelago. One of them has been voted the world’s best water park ten years running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s what each one is, which suits you, what it actually costs, and how to plan it without losing the day to airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s be straight about it, because plenty of guides aren’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
None of the three parks are in Lanzarote. Siam Park and Loro Parque are on Tenerife. Poema del Mar is in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Getting there means flying, and inter-island flights aren’t cheap unless you’re a Canary Islands resident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the official reference fares set by Spain’s Ministry of Transport (Order TRM\/789\/2026, in force since 1 August 2026), per leg and before the resident discount<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s roughly \u20ac265 per person return to Tenerife<\/strong> and \u20ac216 to Gran Canaria<\/strong>, plus taxes and booking fees. Canary Islands residents pay around a quarter of that thanks to the 75% subsidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With those numbers on the table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s worth it if:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It probably isn’t worth it if:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re in the second group, skip to the end \u2014 we’ve listed what to do without leaving the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
