Drive an 800cc buggy through Gran Canaria’s Fataga park, stop at Ayagaures Pedro Gonzales viewpoint, then hit short dirt loops with pickup.
“Fun! But there wasn’t as much dirt riding as expected. There’s an hour scenic drive on roads then the dirt track and the dirt track is only two loops that you go at from different angles a few times. It’s fun but I thought there would be more going on. We had a ton of fun driving and riding in the buggy either way but if you’re expecting a lot of off roading there isn’t that much.”
Hop on a red double-decker bus loop through Vegueta, Pueblo Canario, the waterfront, and Las Canteras, with audio in 8 languages.
“Very informative, regular buses and stops, would recommend getting the first bus, but not from the port as the queue is huge if there are cruise ships docked”

“The pick up was on time and the mini van was all air conditioned. Me and my husband loved this trip we learnt a lot about the history/ cultures. Angélica was our guide and she was fantastic! She was very friendly, welcoming and she was very informative. Our driver Sheila made us feel safe going around some of the narrow/ bendy roads and she was very friendly too. The local tasting was lovely tried lots of new things which you could buy after and the lunch tasting was delicious tried some traditional dishes which were very yummy. There was soo much to see and do and would defiantly recommend. Make…”
Volcano calderas, a Roque Nublo hike, and a sunset honey-rum toast, plus Cruz de Tejeda market stops and local food tastings.
“This experience with guides Daylos and Victor was amazing and the highlight of visiting Gran Canaria. We were well taken care of and the scenery was stunning and breath-taking. Do not worry about the hike difficulty, the guides have you in safe hands and the trip is excellently planned out. Daylos could not be more knowledgeable and passionate about his island's history and culture, you will learn so much. Don't hesitate to book Climbo tours.”
8-hour guided minivan ride through Gran Canaria villages and viewpoints, from Tejeda and Fataga to Artenara cave houses, with photo stops.
“did an English tour with Fabio. He was friendly and explained the history behind the sites we visited well in a way everyone could understand. He was also switching back and forth between explaining things in Dutch and English to accommodate other tourist in the ride. the ride in the van was nice with AC especially when it was hot outside and seats were comfortable. if you're planning to do a tour around the mountains, I would recommend you take this tour instead of the jeep with no AC for 6-8 hours.”
Gran Canaria rainforest walk, Firgas water stories, eco-farm tasting, and a chance to swim in volcanic pools, with pickup.
“A perfect tour if you would like to know more about the local nature and plants. Our guide, Angelica, was very knowledgeable and attentive. And in general, pick this one if you want a nice walk with the views of the forest. To me, would appreciate more hiking and more time in the nature in general.”

“It’s a great trip! I really enjoyed it! And the tour guide Itahisa is fantastic! She is so happy and friendly! The driver is good and friendly too.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
