Mit der außergewöhnlichen Anwesenheit von Franck Ferrand.
Im Archipel der Kanaren ragen die Vulkaninseln wie eine Fata Morgana aus dem Atlantischen Ozean. In diesem Land der tausend Kontraste bilden karminrote und aschgraue Mondlandschaften, mit üppiger Natur ausgekleidete Täler, zerklüftete Buchten und Sanddünen eine herrliche Vielfalt. PONANT lädt Sie ein, im Herzen dieser von der Natur beherrschten Inseln eine unvergessliche 8-tägige Reise an Bord der L‘Austral zu unternehmen.
Während Ihrer gesamten Reise profitieren Sie von einem bereits im Reisepreis inkludierten Landausflug pro Anlaufhafen und Person. Dieser ist aus einem vom PONANT sorgfältig zusammengestellten Angebot auszuwählen. Bewundern Sie auf dieser Kreuzfahrt die vulkanischen und grünen Landschaften von Santa Cruz de La Palma, erkunden Sie von La Gomera aus den Nationalpark Garajonay, der zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehört, oder entdecken Sie von Los Cristianos aus das Innere des Vulkantunnels der Cueva del Viento, der Höhle des Windes. Die Vielfalt der angebotenen Erlebnisse verspricht ebenso intensive wie abwechslungsreiche Momente (gesamtes Angebot unter dem Reiter „Reiseroute » einsehbar).
Ihre Kreuzfahrt beginnt auf der Insel Gran Canaria in Las Palmas, dann sticht die L’Austral in See, um Lanzarote, die Feuerinsel zu erreichen. Inspirierend, rätselhaft, geheimnisvoll … zeigt sie sich in einer bezaubernden Umgebung aus majestätischen Gipfeln, Weinbergen auf vulkanischem Boden und unberührten Nationalparks. Die Insel ist auch für ihre zahlreichen Vulkantunnel und -höhlen berühmt, die einzigartige Augenblicke in einer faszinierenden Unterwelt bieten.
Nur einen Katzensprung weiter südlich liegt die Nachbarinsel Fuerteventura. In Puerto del Rosario können Sie die Altstadt mit Häusern im kanarischen Stil bewundern, die außergewöhnlichen Panoramen der beeindruckenden Sanddünen genießen oder bei einer Wanderung die Biodiversität der Insel entdecken.
Ihr Schiff nimmt nördlichen Kurs und steuert das pulsierende Los Cristianos an. Lassen Sie sich von der unvergleichlichen Atmosphäre, dem mythischen Berg Teide, höchster Gipfel Spaniens, und den langen Sandstränden, die vom türkisfarbenen Wasser des Atlantik gesäumt werden, verzaubern.
Dann erwartet Sie eine Auszeit in Santa Cruz de La Palma. Hier werden Authentizität und Ruhe groß geschrieben und Sie werden von der bewahrte Natur und dem atypischen architektonischen Erbe mit traditionellen kanarischen Häusern mit farbenfrohen Holzbalkonen, prächtigen Palästen und religiösen Gebäuden begeistert sein.
Die Reise geht weiter nach El Hierro, den kleinsten Inseln der Kanaren. Eine Oase des Friedens und der Ruhe, durchzogen von vulkanischer Wüste und Kiefern- und Lorbeerwäldern. Diese großen, grünen und unberührten Flächen können Sie unter anderem bei einer Erkundung der Insel mit dem Elektrofahrrad genießen.
L’Austral vor La Gomera vor Anker gehen. Diese kleine Insel mit einer üppigen Vegetation gehört aufgrund ihres Biosphärenreservats zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Außerdem ist die Insel für ihre Pfeifsprache El Silbo bekannt. Diese wurde von den Einwohnern erfunden, um sich zwischen den Tälern zu verständigen.
Schließlich geht es weiter nach Las Palmas auf Gran Canaria, der letzten Station Ihrer Reise auf den Kanarische Inseln.

Das sonnige Etappenziel Las Palmas befindet sich an der Nordostküste von Gran Canaria. Nur wenige Straßen vom Hafen Puerto de la Luz entfernt, lässt sich der weitläufige Strand Las Canteras entdecken, der mit den für die Stadt so typischen Palmen gesäumt ist. Sie finden diese überall in den Straßen und auf den Plätzen wie insbesondere der Plaza de Santa Ana im Herzen des historischen Viertels. Hier fühlen Sie sich vor den hohen, an die Kathedrale Santa Ana angrenzenden Gebäude in vergangene Zeiten zurückversetzt. Ganz in der Nähe von dort können Sie die Casa de Colón besichtigen. Dieses Museum ist dem berühmten Seefahrer Kolumbus gewidmet und befindet sich in dem ehemaligen Gouverneurspalast der Insel. Aber Sie können sich auch zur Markthalle von Vegueta aufmachen, um den Alltag der Stadtbewohner zu teilen und unbekannte Gaumengenüsse zu kosten.

From the pier, embark your coach for a one-hour scenic drive to the picturesque village of Haria, known as the “valley of a thousand palms”. Surrounded by lush green fields and colourful meadows, you can admire whitewashed houses, shady palms, and tropical flowers line its narrow streets.
You will then continue to Mirador del Rio, Lanzarote's most famous viewpoint. This former gun emplacement has been converted in 1973 by local artiste Cesar Manrique into a recreational and ecological location. From the balustraded café or the vantage point of the balcony, you will have some of the most breath-taking views in the entire archipelago. Standing 500 metres above sea level, you can see the entire northern coastline, the straits of El Rio and Las Salinas del Rio, the island's oldest salt plains which have been used since Roman times.
Next, you will reboard your coach and travel to Los Jameos del Agua. This massive open-air cavern is part of a long volcanic tunnel that was formed 3,000 years ago by molten lava. Due to gasses pression, the tunnel collapsed in some parts creating large openings. In 1968, Manrique had the idea to turn these openings into a tropical garden with a pool, a bar and a 600-seat auditorium.
Upon arrival, you will climb down a stone staircase into the first cave known as Jameo Chico. You will continue along a pathway crossing a lake filled with tiny albino crabs, a rare and delicate marine crustacean. Following the footpath, you will reach Jameo Grande, a huge open-air cave lined with tropical plants and a turquoise pool.
After visiting the auditorium, you will reboard your coach and get back to your ship.

From the pier, you will board your coach and start your journey at National Park Timanfaya and the famous Fire Mountains of Lanzarote.
Upon arrival, you will enjoy a guided tour of the park. The park’s lack of wildlife creates a surprising air of calm and silence. It´s hard to imagine what a volcanic eruption would be like, but the land is still bubbling beneath the surface and the craters and the active volcanoes will amaze you. Islote de Hilario is one of the most original islets, or kipukas, in the Canary Islands, and it stands out from other islets because it is covered by the pyroclasts of the Timanfaya eruption of 1730-1736. However, the main characteristic of this geological attraction is the presence of thermal anomalies. This area registers the highest thermal anomalies in the Canary Islands. Then, you will attend geothermal demonstrations and will gain an appreciation for the power of the active volcanoes under your feet.
After admiring this astonishing natural beauty of the national park, you will appreciate the El Golfo viewpoint overlooking El Charco de los Clicos, a green lake formed by a volcanic crater and located in the middle of a black sand beach.
The journey back to the pier passes by the beautiful Vineyards of La Geria, where of course you will have the chance to taste typical Lanzarote wine. This wine producing area is a few miles inland; the wall of volcanic rock divides the apparently barren field but, within these walls, the wine flourish under a layer of Picón (porous lava granules which absorb the dew at night and provide constant moisture to the plants).

The next step will be volcanic formations. El Hierro's geological history began 100 million years ago, when the seabed began to swell and the cortex finally burst in a characteristic way, forming a three-pointed star. The fissures gave way to magma which, through subsequent eruptions and stacking processes, began to create the island until it finally emerged from the ocean, forming a triangular pyramid crowned by a volcano over 1828m high. The initial fissures served as channels for the lava, creating three ridges with numerous volcanic cones. Then, as it cooled in these channels, the magma solidified into huge basalt screens, forming the dikes characteristic of the island's geological architecture. The fact is that just 50,000 years ago, the small island of El Hierro was the scene of one of the most violent and devastating natural phenomena known to man: a landslide of gigantic proportions. The last recorded eruption in Spain took place between 2011 and 2012 just 5 km off the coast of El Hierro, where activity emerged and could be observed above the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
After this visit, enjoy a typical lunch in a local restaurant in the fishing village of La Restinga.
Your bus will then take you to the Mirador de Jinama, north-west of San Andrés, well worth a visit for its impressive view of the Gulf.
On the way back to the ship, you will also stop off at the Mirador de La Peña: designed by the famous Lanzarote artist César Manrique, it has been classified as a site of cultural interest, and is undoubtedly a must-see for all visitors, as it offers magnificent views over the El Golfo valley, the Salmor rocks and the peak. It's a clever combination of traditional construction and modern architecture, using largely local materials.
Enjoy a final photo stop at the Mirador de las Pernadas before returning to the pier.

Then, you will see a succession of belvederes, all revealing increasingly stunning viewpoints. From the impressive Mirador de Agulo, standing on top of its basalt rock, you will perhaps be able to admire Tenerife from afar.

From the pier, embark your coach for a one-hour scenic drive to the picturesque village of Haria, known as the “valley of a thousand palms”. Surrounded by lush green fields and colourful meadows, you can admire whitewashed houses, shady palms, and tropical flowers line its narrow streets.
You will then continue to Mirador del Rio, Lanzarote's most famous viewpoint. This former gun emplacement has been converted in 1973 by local artiste Cesar Manrique into a recreational and ecological location. From the balustraded café or the vantage point of the balcony, you will have some of the most breath-taking views in the entire archipelago. Standing 500 metres above sea level, you can see the entire northern coastline, the straits of El Rio and Las Salinas del Rio, the island's oldest salt plains which have been used since Roman times.
Next, you will reboard your coach and travel to Los Jameos del Agua. This massive open-air cavern is part of a long volcanic tunnel that was formed 3,000 years ago by molten lava. Due to gasses pression, the tunnel collapsed in some parts creating large openings. In 1968, Manrique had the idea to turn these openings into a tropical garden with a pool, a bar and a 600-seat auditorium.
Upon arrival, you will climb down a stone staircase into the first cave known as Jameo Chico. You will continue along a pathway crossing a lake filled with tiny albino crabs, a rare and delicate marine crustacean. Following the footpath, you will reach Jameo Grande, a huge open-air cave lined with tropical plants and a turquoise pool.
After visiting the auditorium, you will reboard your coach and get back to your ship.

From the pier, you will board your coach and start your journey at National Park Timanfaya and the famous Fire Mountains of Lanzarote.
Upon arrival, you will enjoy a guided tour of the park. The park’s lack of wildlife creates a surprising air of calm and silence. It´s hard to imagine what a volcanic eruption would be like, but the land is still bubbling beneath the surface and the craters and the active volcanoes will amaze you. Islote de Hilario is one of the most original islets, or kipukas, in the Canary Islands, and it stands out from other islets because it is covered by the pyroclasts of the Timanfaya eruption of 1730-1736. However, the main characteristic of this geological attraction is the presence of thermal anomalies. This area registers the highest thermal anomalies in the Canary Islands. Then, you will attend geothermal demonstrations and will gain an appreciation for the power of the active volcanoes under your feet.
After admiring this astonishing natural beauty of the national park, you will appreciate the El Golfo viewpoint overlooking El Charco de los Clicos, a green lake formed by a volcanic crater and located in the middle of a black sand beach.
The journey back to the pier passes by the beautiful Vineyards of La Geria, where of course you will have the chance to taste typical Lanzarote wine. This wine producing area is a few miles inland; the wall of volcanic rock divides the apparently barren field but, within these walls, the wine flourish under a layer of Picón (porous lava granules which absorb the dew at night and provide constant moisture to the plants).

Between a lush UNESCO World Heritage Site park, exuberant palm groves, vertiginous belvederes and secret valleys, discover La Gomera at its wildest but also at its most gourmet thanks to a visit to a finca, where many delights are produced.
Known as the green heart of La Gomera and renowned for its banana plantations, Hermigua Valley is home to many treasures. Among them, a finca - a local ecological farm - where you will experience local flavours and know-how. Stroll around the botanical gardens and discover the famous “palmeras guaraperas”, Canarian palm trees, which produce a delicious palm “honey”, a veritable symbol of the archipelago.
Then, watch a local artisan hand-make baskets using banana leaves, vines and reeds. This first port of call will finish at the table, with a tasting of La Gomera’s main dishes and products: gofio, cheese, the famous palm honey, all washed down with a local wine.
Then, you will see a succession of belvederes, all revealing increasingly stunning viewpoints. From the impressive Mirador de Agulo, standing on top of its basalt rock, you will perhaps be able to admire Tenerife from afar. On the Laguna Grande road, you will immediately understand why the viewpoint called Vallehermoso (‘beautiful valley’ in Spanish) earned its name. In the south, in Los Roques, see the incredible volcanic formations that shape the island, including Roque Agando.
