- Arucas - Arucas provides a sensory experience that begins upon arrival at its historic center. The old town of Arucas is recognized for its historical and artistic significance. The Parish Church of San Juan Bautista stands as the most prominent architectural and social landmark in the area. Visitors will consistently encounter heritage, culture, and tradition throughout their stay in this municipality.
- Teror - Situated in the northern part of Gran Canaria, Teror is among the oldest inhabited areas in the Canary Islands. Established following the Virgin’s apparition in 1481 and declared a Marian town in the late 16th century, Teror boasts a rich religious heritage, including a basilica, convents, and noble family homes. Calle Real de la Plaza has served as the town’s social and commercial hub for five centuries.
- Firgas - The historic center of Firgas is ideal for a stroll to explore the many tourist attractions the municipality offers. The Paseo de Gran Canaria and the Paseo de Canarias, located in the town’s heart on what was once Calle Real del Centro, are must-see spots. Firgas is renowned for its “Balcony of the Atlantic,” offering the most stunning ocean views across the north, east, and west of Gran Canaria.
- Agaete - Puerto de Las Nieves is the coastal region of Agaete. It has become the primary maritime link between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, featuring a picturesque and charming fishing village on Gran Canaria’s northern coast. The area exudes a typical Canarian atmosphere with striking cliffs and impressive small beaches, which, though rocky, boast cold, crystal-clear waters. Historically, it is known for the image of the broken Roque, popularly referred to as “the Finger of God.”

Tranquil day trip - Very caring guides, great scenery and appealing places. A wonderful day trip. Highly recommended! Perfect to see much of the island in a short time.

Where's the shark? - Actually, I am very skeptical about aquariums, but my grandson loves sharks and where else can he see a live shark swimming. It was an exciting experience with plenty of space for the big fish, not just the sharks. The whole aquarium is exciting for children and again and again the nose is pressed against the glass pane to see even more. The hints about which fish are also given in German, so also a bit of further education for the parents. The restaurants are cleverly distributed throughout the aquarium, the food rather fast food but value for money very good. We spent almost 3 hours there, in the parking garage of the shopping center right next door we could park for free. Overall a clear recommendation if you plan an excursion with children.

Nice tour of the northern part of Gran Canaria. - Our tour guide Francine was very knowledgeable and our driver José was very good.
The tour provided a good overview of the northern part of the Island. The towns of Arucas, Teror and Frigas are worth visiting and show a different view compared to the more touristic areas of the island. We finished with a nice lunch in Agaete. Would recommend this tour.

Nicely renovated Ikea apartment without air conditioning . - You will stay in a renovated apartment complex with 5 floors.
Fully Ikea Furnished with some wear points such as the sofa-bed upholstery, which had some defects.
Please note... No air conditioning!!!
We were here from 28 Oct to 4 Nov 2025 at temperatures of 26 to 32 degrees and at night 21 to 22 degrees.
It was just hard to hold out then! Unless you can stand the heat very well!
However, all aluminum windows have double glazing and aluminum shutters on the outside, which keeps the heat or the sun out somewhat.
You don’t have to put anything over you at night.
There is a pretty large and shared roof terrace with reclining and seating. There are 2 apartments with a private roof terrace!
The polishing could be better, for example a white toilet brush with brown stains in it is a serious minus.
You don't look out over the sea, but just against other buildings.
Pros: you are 2 minutes walk from the sea and the promenade with numerous food and drink outlets.
Breakfast and dinner with sea view are delicious.
Ca 16 min walk to large bus station on the harbor for to Playa del Ingles or Maspalomas.
Approx 12 min walk to bus stop at large shopping center for trip to Puerto del Nieves.
In short: if you are here in winter this is a fairly good location, but in the middle of summer I couldn't keep it out.

Average Tour - The towns are nice but the lunch is the worst food that we’ve eaten on any of the Canary Islands. Tour would better off without the included lunch.

Poor trip not as advertised. - A very poor trip that does not bear any resemblance to the timings given. Picked up by coach and then spent 20 minutes waiting in a petrol station outside Las Palmas at beginning of trip. Itinerary states one hour in each place but at times we were only given 35 minutes so once off bus no time to do anything before having to return to bus, not even to get a drink. You basically get off bus are frogmarched to the shop they want you to visit. Even if you do not follow guide as we learnt to do there is still no time to do anything anywhere apart from the lunch stop. They try to upsell you an optional lunch, do not do this, do as we did and find your own place which is much nicer and with more choice than the one they want to take you to. Would not recommend, description of trip and itinerary need changing. Feel that I did not get what I paid for, requested refund and refused.

TUI Gran Canaria Aquarium Poema del Mar und Tour durch die schlucht van Guayadeque - The Poema del Mar Aquarium was truly amazing, but the rest of the excursion was a complete disappointment – definitely not up to TUI standards.
We had just under two hours to visit the aquarium, which is simply not enough if you really want to see everything properly and take in all the information.
That said, the aquarium itself was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended.
The rest of the tour, however, was terrible.
You are taken to a so-called "restaurant," which is basically just a shed, where everyone is crammed together at one long table on stools that were far too low, with no air conditioning. The only ventilation came from open windows, while the outside temperature was 34 degrees.
Here we were served the worst food we have ever had. The meat was dry and stringy, the fish was dry and inedible, the potatoes were far too salty, the bread rolls seemed to have been reheated in the microwave, and so on. The red wine was served from open, unlabeled bottles, so there was no way of knowing what it actually was.
After this disappointing meal, we had a short 10-minute drive to Aguimes. There we were given 45 minutes to explore the town and visit the church. The church was closed, and apart from that there was absolutely nothing to see or do. Most of us ended up sitting on the square in front of the church waiting until it was finally time to be taken back to the hotel.
On the way back, we were asked three times to give a tip for the bus driver.
Honestly, you’re better off just buying a ticket for the aquarium online and arranging your own transfer, or renting a car for the day. That way, you can drive around the island a bit afterwards and have a nice meal somewhere – it would cost about the same as this excursion.
We paid €154.00 for two people for this tour.
