From November 10th to 20th of this year, passengers aboard Explora I will be able to join Mike Horn on two extraordinary adventures, showcasing the wild beauty of Spain’s Lanzarote and La Palma islands.
During a lifetime of adventure, Mike Horn has traveled extensively in the most remote regions on the planet. On the ship, the Johannesburg-born explorer will share tales of his endeavors during enriching onboard talks. He’ll also pass on his knowledge about mental and physical preparation across workout sessions.
Guests on the voyage departing November 10th in Barcelona visiting Cadiz, the Canary Islands, and Gibraltar before returning to Barcelona have the chance to join two exclusive shore excursions:
Hike Lanzarote’s Haría Extreme Wild Trail
Guests will embark on an intrepid hike up the formidable Haría Extreme ultra-marathon trail guided by Mike Horn. Starting from Famara, participants will ascend the rugged cliff face, enjoying island panoramas at every turn. The journey continues along the Camino de Los Gracioseros before reaching the charming village of Haría. Here, guests will relish a revitalizing lunch at the esteemed Tacande restaurant, followed by an exploration of the picturesque streets and thriving palm groves of Haría.
Explore La Palma’s Wild Beauty and Piratical Past by Land & Sea
On this experience, guests will delve into La Palma’s untamed beauty and intriguing history. Starting in Tijarafe, Mike Horn will guide participants through the island’s lush subtropical environment down a rugged coastal path to Porís de Candelaria, a hidden hamlet at the cliff’s base. From there, travelers will sail with Mike to the spectacular Cueva Bonita, a sea cave once used by fishermen to evade pirates. Known as the ‘Atlantic Sistine Chapel,’ the cave’s walls are bathed in the soft light of sundown, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
