Active kids on Lanzarote
An island full of possibilities for families
How to spend your free time with kids in Lanzarote? At Benty, we’ve got plenty of answers to that question. We help you discover the best activities.
We want you to create unforgettable family moments, always surrounded by nature and the unique energy of the island. Because in the end, it all comes down to the same question: what kind of experiences can I offer my children to satisfy their natural need to move, explore, and have fun? Thanks to Lanzarote’s mild year-round climate and its extraordinary variety of landscapes — volcanoes, beaches, trails, and the sea — the possibilities are truly endless. Let the island awaken your children’s curiosity and sense of adventure. On Lanzarote, every day can turn into a new family story.
The Benty team carefully selects the best activities on the island for you and your family. We place special emphasis on the quality of the experiences, ensuring they are run by professional providers in safe and attractive settings — so that your family feels comfortable and at home.
With the goal of encouraging physical activity among the next generation, the majority of the experiences we offer are outdoor sports activities, providing children with the chance to explore various disciplines until they find one they truly enjoy and want to pursue further.
Through physical activity, kids connect with their surroundings. It is scientifically proven that natural environments uniquely stimulate children’s development. Benty offers a wide range of diverse experiences — all you have to do is choose which ones you want to try first.
„Regular physical activity provides significant lifelong benefits for both physical and mental health

and is essential for the healthy development of children.“

Do your kids love making a mess in the kitchen? Would you like to introduce them to the world of food in a fun and engaging way? Benty’s mission is to uncover these hidden gems for you and offer access to the most curious and unique experiences.
In this context, Benty supports local providers across the Canary Islands with the aim of increasing their visibility. In return, travelers gain access to truly authentic moments — the kind of experiences you won’t find through tour operators or other providers focused on mass tourism.

Discover the activities that best match your children’s interests and abilities
Children are unique. While some develop a special talent for ball sports, others feel most at home in the water or love climbing up a wall. No two children are alike in their development.
At Benty, we’re happy to help you and your family choose the experiences that suit you best. If you’re unsure which activity fits your needs or situation, feel free to reach out — we’ll gladly provide a personal recommendation. We have English-speaking staff who are happy to assist you in your native language.
For children, movement is an expression of freedom — it helps them to recharge energy and boosts their self-confidence. When you encourage them to be active, you’re not only supporting their development but also adding to their happiness account.
Your moment is now
One of the great blessings for us as parents is that children naturally have an inherent need to move — they’re basically always in action. Unlike us adults, who sometimes tend to become a bit sedentary, it usually doesn’t take much motivation to get a child moving.
However, if we don’t give children enough space to express this natural instinct, it can have serious consequences for their development. Scientific research has shown that individuals who were not physically active enough during childhood are more likely to suffer from physical and mental health issues later in life.
A sedentary lifestyle or sedentarism refers to a situation in which we engage in an above-average number of low-energy activities, such as sitting or lying down. In fact, excessive passivity in children leads to an overproduction of body fat and weakens the cardiovascular system, overall physical fitness, and social skills. Moreover, a lack of physical activity reduces sleep duration and, as a result, leads to less recovery during the night.
With just one hour of physical activity a day, children and adolescents can support healthy bone development, muscle growth, as well as their motor and cognitive skills.
Don’t buy your children more toys and video games. Instead, help them discover their sport — it’s a gift that will last a lifetime!
