“This was a great tour! Our guide Maciej was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was exactly as told and a nice pace, being able to take in our surroundings and take photos. The included lunch was lovely and the whole package is great value for money.”
A 3-hour Can-Am Ryker mountain tour from Maspalomas with two easy stops, small group comfort, helmet included, and Aloe Vera and Fataga sights.

Gran Canaria peaks day trip from Las Palmas with Pico de las Nieves, Roque Nublo, Cruz de Tejeda tastings, and village time.
“Bruno was the BEST tour guide!! Thank you so much for a wonderful day out exploring all the beautiful areas of Gran Canaria! This tour was the highlight of my trip!”
Coasteering on Gran Canaria: cliff climbs, abseiling, a 35 m zipline over the sea, and snorkeling on a 4-hour adventure.
“For everyone looking for a thrilling real adventure. I wanted to climb the coast mountains, zipline and snorkel. This was all that and more. I have to admit I was scared in the beginning when I had to go down the mountain top. After that the other things felt easy and enjoyable for me. Mom (58 years old but fit) and I (28 years old) had a great adventure and felt safe even though it was our first time climbing mountains. We made it without a scratch on our legs thanks to Pablos careful instructions, though would recommend long sleeve clothes. He even shared some history along our way. Pablo…”
Ride a Can-Am Ryker through Gran Canaria mountains to Fataga, stop at an aloe plantation, then enjoy dune views from an astronomical mirador.
“It was incredible, the view was very very nice if you are in gran canaria this is a must. The guide was always friendly and very very helbful. He always helped us and the introduction/explanation was very good. Also during the ride he always looked up and waited and we had a very safe feeling!”
Private Gran Canaria mountain day for 2 to 4 with Fabien: viewpoints, white villages, free stops, and Tejeda tapas, about 9 hours.
“An absolutely exceptional day in the mountains of the island! Fabien is much more than a guide: he is passionate, and it is felt at every moment. Throughout the day, he made us discover authentic places, far from the classic tourist circuits, with a real desire to share the history, culture and soul of the Canaries. The explanations are rich, clear, punctuated by many anecdotes that make the journey lively and captivating. We leave with a true understanding of the island, not just a succession of beautiful landscapes (even if they are incredible). Special mention also for the lunch break: a typical Canarian meal, simple, authentic, far from the tourist…”
Maspalomas to Ayagaures by e-bike, with golden dunes, plant spotting in Parque del Sur, and cave-bar drinks, plus optional tapas.
“Our guide had so much knowledge of the area to share and he had a nice clear voice and gave clear instructions. We had a lovely stop for refreshments and learned a lot about different areas of GC during our tour. The bikes were awesome. The only caveat is you need to be fairly confident on a bike in traffic as the tour was all on public roads (which it does say).”
Sunset hike in Roque Nublo area with a local guide, geology lessons, and a night-sky session with snacks and hot drinks.
“This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to the island. Pablo was an excellent guide and took us to some truly spectacular spots to watch the sunset over the volcanic landscape — the views were absolutely stunning. After sunset, we explored several viewpoints around the area, including beautiful perspectives of Roque Nublo and other iconic sights. Delicious snacks were provided along the way, with great vegetarian options, which was a lovely touch. Once night fell, the real magic began. We waited as the sky filled with thousands of stars, and Pablo shared fascinating stories about the constellations, which we could even observe through binoculars. Seeing planets, shooting…”
Discover Gran Canaria’s Cumbre in one day with hotel pickup, panoramic viewpoints, and local rum flavor, plus optional lunch, about 7-8 hours.
“Absolutely fantastic excursion- Simon the tour guide was so knowledgeable and very friendly, the scenery is stunning and so lovely to see parts of the island in contrast - I would however say that some of the stops are very short indeed and a little rushed, also was advertised that we would visit a rum distillery but we visited an Aloe Vera plantation instead, other than that well worth doing - the coach ride itself on narrow winding lanes up a mountain certainly makes for an adventure- not for the faint hearted”
Small-group e-bike tour through Maspalomas dunes, Ayagaures, and a pre-Hispanic cave tapas stop, with helmet and soft drink included.
“This is a wonderful E-bike tour, up through Maspalomas to the sand dunes, then through the South Park and then up the mountain, with great scenic views! Lorenzo is a fantastic guide with great knowledge and a warm, friendly approach. The E-bikes were good quality and Lorenzo was a careful and supportive leader who made us feel safe and well taken care of. I have never E-biked before, my husband cycles quite a lot and we both thoroughly enjoyed the tour! It was a great experience and we would thoroughly recommend it!”
