For those with a passion for heights, our trekking adventures offer a unique way to explore the island. We’ll expose you to a side of Gran Canaria that’s away from bustling crowds and tourist-centric regions.

Duration: 9 hours
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Maspalomas - We are going to walk along a path that shows the best trace of the island’s microclimate, which is the difference between the dry coast of the south and the north, which is more varied due to the atmospheric conditions that prevail there. The biggest attraction are the many waterfalls and the flora that does not exist in other parts of the island. It is a place where there are many endemic species of plants and lizards during sunny days. After the walk, we will visit a nearby bar where we can feel the Canarian atmosphere and try regional food.
What's Included
  • trekking poles
  • In-vehicle air conditioning
  • International Half Mountain Guide
  • Lunch
Additional Information
  • Sports or trekking shoes (with a good grip) are mandatory and will be checked by the guide before starting the excursion. During our routes, we recommend mountain clothing or sports clothing.
  • Considering that our lunch at the restaurant will be around 2:00 p.m. and your own way of eating, you can bring a light meal on your own, for example (fruits, energy bars, almonds, cookies, etc.). sandwich etc)
  • The months of October to March are a variable period of time and more frequent rains (we always try to avoid carrying out our excursions during rainy days, but sometimes the weather can surprise us). It is recommended (during the mandatory cold days) warm clothing with long sleeves (pants, polartec) and a waterproof jacket that can work perfectly as a windbreaker.
  • In case of force majeure that prevents the excursion from continuing or endangers the health or life of the excursion participants (weather conditions, etc.), the organizer reserves the right to modify the route or change it to another / another date, or cancel it.
  • Recommended minimum age for children: 8 years.
  • (!!!) There are narrow sections on the route where people with fear of heights may feel uncomfortable.
Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Beautiful hike through the Falkenschlucht - Very nice hike in the surprisingly green valley of the Falkenschlucht with Maciey, who told us a bit about the many trees and guided us through the Falkenschlucht with a lot of experience. We can recommend the tour. As the tour takes place in a small group, it is also very personal, away from the hustle and bustle of tourists.

Wonderful - It was a wonderful hike. Lovely scenery and the guide was very knowledgeable and funny. The route looked very challenging on the way to the waterfall, but then felt very doable on the way back. All an all I recommend this tour. Loved it and will surely book another tour when back in GC! P.s. I won't spoil the waterfall ;-)

Great guide - Had three excellent walks with Maciej. It was great to see the interior of Gran Canaria with the company of people from many different countries. The meals provided with the trip were excellent. The walks were not too strenuous but enough to create a strong appetite.

Full Day Hiking and Waterfall Experience - The waterfall trek is appx 4 hours and 7 kilometres. Maciej clearly loves his job and really took care of the group during the walk. It involves stepping up and down rocks and ducking under tree trunks. The waterfall at the end is pretty and the flow will no doubt depend on what time of year you go and level of annual rainfall they have had. It is a very nice trek with a little waterfall at the half way mark before you turn back and head to the restaurant for lunch at the end. Very good value for money and a very nice day out. 😎👍

Repeat offender - Thank you Maciej for the two great tours and the tips for the rest of our vacation on Gran Canaria. This tour is a little more challenging than the summit tour but is still highly recommended.

Fantastic walking experience - We thought it was a fantastic experience. It was challenging, but doable with walking shoes. Our guide Maciej explained many things to us about the area and was very enthusiastic. In between it was nice that we had moments of a short stop. At that moment our guide explained things about the area and we could also have a drink in between. There is plenty of time at the waterfalls to take beautiful photos and have something to eat and drink. At the end of the walk we had a nice lunch with the whole group. It was a very successful day, resulting in a very beautiful waterfall and surroundings.

Fun hiking experience! - We throughly enjoyed this hiking experience! Maciej was very friendly, knowledgeable of the area and made us feel safe throughout the day. He always ensured we went at a steady pace, had breaks when required and took time to explain the surroundings to us. The hike included various ‘jungle obstacles’ where we had to climb over tree trunks, navigate narrow and steep paths and crouching through bushes, which lead to a beautiful waterfall at the end. This was not a difficult walk, however requires appropriate foot wear and the ability to climb, stoop and bend to navigate these obstacles (which we were informed about prior to the hike). The meal included was very nice and the air conditioned van was very welcomed! We would definitely book with GC Active Tours again, thank you Maciej! Naomi & Luke
