Lanzarote is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a fragile ecosystem where every detail matters. Its volcanic landscapes, unique vineyards like La Geria, and protected areas such as Timanfaya or Los Volcanes are natural treasures that we are committed to preserving.
At Shaka Isla, we are dedicated to minimising our impact on this exceptional environment. All our excursions are designed in collaboration with the Cabildo de Lanzarote to ensure responsible, sustainable, and respectful tourism.
🌿 Our Concrete Commitments
1️⃣ Cabildo-Approved Itineraries
- All our routes have been examined and approved by the Cabildo de Lanzarote.
- We use only authorised dirt tracks and asphalt roads.
- No off-path travel: We strictly avoid unauthorised trails or areas.
2️⃣ Limited Frequency in Protected Areas
- Only one of our routes crosses a protected natural area (e.g., Volcanic Circuit).
- Limited passages: We avoid repeated travel through the same areas to preserve soil and vegetation.
- Small groups: Maximum 8 participants per excursion to minimise impact.
3️⃣ Strict Compliance with Local Rules
- No leaving marked paths: Even for photos or breaks.
- Zero waste policy: All participants must take their rubbish with them (packaging, bottles, cigarette butts).
- Respect for wildlife and flora: Do not touch, feed, or disturb animals, or pick plants.
4️⃣ Eco-Friendly Equipment
- 100% electric scooters (Glob3T models): Zero emissions, quiet, and road-legal.
- Regular maintenance to prevent any pollution (leaks, batteries, etc.).
5️⃣ Participant Awareness
- Environmental briefing before each excursion: our guides explain Lanzarote’s ecological challenges and best practices.
- Visual reminders of the rules before each departure.
🌍 Collaboration with the Cabildo de Lanzarote
- Annual validation: Our itineraries are re-examined every year by the Cabildo.
- Monitoring by environmental agents: In 2025, our excursions were observed by Cabildo agents during a full outing (1 hour by 4x4) with no remarks.
- Compliance report: We provide an annual report to the Cabildo to demonstrate our adherence to regulations.
