Additional Information

Join us as we embark on a journey to explore the breathtaking valleys of Gran Canaria, starting our trip along the eastern coastline until we arrive at Arucas, the home of the unique “Neo-gothic” Saint John’s Church. We ascend through the heart of the island, offering stunning views of the northern region and Las Palmas.

Upon reaching Teror, a popular pilgrimage spot, we encounter the quintessential architecture of the region, featuring Canarian balconies and the grand basilica. Uncover the verdant heartlands of the island, packed with deep valleys and impressive mountain vistas, including the imposing Roque Nublo and Teide.

As we descend from the summit, we traverse past the almond groves of Ayacata and proceed through the towns of San Bartolomé Fataga. Our final stop is an Aloe Vera farm where you have the opportunity to experience firsthand the calming effects of this plant.

See the whole island - Really great trip. The guide Simon knows a lot of the island. I learned a lot of Gran Canaria. We visited the northern part of the island first and traveled via Roque Nuble back to the south. You see that the island has different climates. Tip: take a light summer jacket with you. It can be cold in the mountains.

Nice way to see most of Gran Canaria in a day - Knowledgeable guide who provided easy to understand historical and factual commentary in both English and German. Nice short stops to see the villages of Arucus and Firgas. Stunning scenery as large coach made its way up into the mountains. Excellent driving skills by the driver, tight hairpin roads so avoid the window seat if you're afraid of heights! Lunch at the restaurant was very, very average but the setting and views were good. Would have liked more time seeing all the rock formations and scenery at Roque Nublo. Aloe Vera plantation was interesting but felt like a sales pitch. Worthwhile trip if you want to see the majority of the island and the contrasting landscapes in a day but try and go on a clear sunny day as it wouldn't be as good if cloudy.

Average, not max.15 people as advertised - First of all we booked for a maximum 15 persons group and only English language guide. We have got a 40-50 persons bus/coach and a guide struggling with three different languages. We don't like such big groups and to travel by coach, so this was very on the negative side to us. Too short time given in Telde , Firgas and Arucas, used more than a hour for lunch. Lunch was average but cheap, 12 euros for a soup, main course, dessert, a wine and water included. We visited Telde, Arucas, Firgas,Valleseco and we stopped at some Miradores high up in the mountains. The tour and information given was average, I wouldn't recommend it,only if you are keen to sit on the bus 60% of the trip.

Too much time on the bus or at "upselling" opportunities! - There is too much time on board the bus, or at commercial opportunities for the coach company to make extra money. The trip was around 7 hours long, 1 hour of that was lunch at a pre-arranged restaurant which presumably has a commercial relationship with the tour company, and around 45 minutes was. at an Agave farm, which sold products and again the tour company presumably gets a cut. There was no time off the coach to walk and explore the area around the best feature on the trip, Roque Nublo, unfortunately.
