What to expect

As the sun tucks away behind the horizon, you'll toast to Gran Canaria's spectacular landscape on this exclusive sunset excursion. You'll travel inland through rustic villages and up its highest peak to see in the sunset with bubbly.

You'll journey away from the bright lights of your resort to Gran Canaria's natural nightlife – spellbinding sunsets. In a convoy of comfortable eight-seater minivans, you'll head to Mirador de las Moscas and San Barolome, where rocky peaks appear in the horizon. Once we've found the ideal location on Pico de las Nieves, it's time to pop open a bottle of fizz and toast in the evening.

See the distinctive shape of Roque Nublo turn into a silhouette before heading to a restaurant for a traditional Canarian meal where you'll try out local tapas dishes before returning to your hotel.
