What to expect

Discover Gran Canaria's best-kept secrets on this full day tour. Starting on the sun-kissed side of the island in Mogán, this adventure is all about uncovering hidden spots, landscapes, and culture. Luca, one of our expert, local guides, says, ‘Gran Canaria's landscapes are so diverse, it's like visiting different countries in one trip – deserts, mountains, and lush valleys all in one place. With some of the most scenic routes on the cards, this tour is pure road trip goals.'

You'll kickstart with serious wow-factor views cruising through Barranco de Los Azulejos – also known as Rainbow Valley. These multi-coloured mountains are totally one-of-a-kind and guaranteed to blow your mind. Then, you'll dive deeper into the heart of the island, and arrive at La Aldea. Local guide Sam spills the beans, ‘this area is known as the island's pantry because it's bursting with goodies – from mangos and veggies to those famous La Aldea tomatoes. And don't miss the avocados – they're the creamiest you'll ever taste.' Get your camera ready for some Insta-gold pics and soak up the chill village charm.

Next, you'll drive to Agaete where the zig-zag cliffs of Dragon's Tail and Faneque cliff are perfect backdrops for your camera roll – you might even spot Mount Teide on a clear day. In Agaete you'll have free time to check out the local scene and grab a bite to eat. Then, we'll hit the showstopper Balcón viewpoint – you'll feel on top of the world – before wrapping things up at Salinas de Tenefé. Be wowed by the pink salt flats on a guided tour of the site, followed by a unique tasting experience.

    Wir konnten sehr viel über Land und Leute erfahren, leider war die nette Reisebegleiterin in dem anderen Wagen gesessen, so dass wir sie nur über Funk/Lautsprecher hören konnte. Das war nicht immer so gut verständlich. Trotzdem war die Tour sehr schön und interessant. Wir sind um die ganze Insel gefahren, das fand ich toll.

    Die Fahrt in die Berge war toll, wir haben alles wie beschrieben gesehen. Das einzige was uns störte war die Salinen zu sehen. Das war nicht sehr interessant und die Preise für das Salz eine Unverschämtheit. Wir zahlen im Bergwerk in Österreich für abgebautes Salz weniger!!! Ohne Saline war es ein schönes Erlebnis

    Sehr interessante Rundfahrt zu bisher unbekannten Zielen. Sicher könnte Aufenthalt Playa la Aldea etwa 10-15 min länger sein, Landschaft, WC, Tunel de Playa brauchen ihre Zeit. Sehr gut, dass der Reiseleiter einer wenige Tage zuvor verunfallten Person mit Gipsarm jedwede Hilfe zukommen ließ, damit auch diese eine schöne Inselrundfahrt erleben konnte.

    Würde in der Beschreibung rein schreiben, das es die Möglichkeit gibt in Naturpool oder im Meer zu schwimmen. Ist dadurch vielleicht für die Urlauber attraktiv die Reise zu buchen.
