Full-day tour of Gran Canaria’s mountains and salt flats

4/5
481 reviews

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.

    Fantastische excusie. Hele mooie tour langs de westkust van het eiland. Een prachtige ervaring. Prima chauffeur voor deze zeer bochtige route en een gids die heel veel wist te vertellen.zeker een aanrader

    Die Stops waren toll gewählt, die Aussichten toll und man hat viel gesehen! Etwas schade war, dass wir ungefähr 20 -30 Minuten auf den zweiten Bus warten mussten, bis die Tour richtig begonnen hat. In Agaete hatten wir einen Aufenthalt von 1,5 Stunden die sehr schnell vorübergegangen waren. Ein paar Minuten länger dort wären schön gewesen. Unsere Fahrer und der Guide waren sehr freundlich und die Informationen wurden sehr gut und lebendig vorgetragen. Die Tour bot eine tolle Inselrundfahrt!

    De regenboogbergen en de glazen uitkijkpunt fantastisch. Zoutvelden duurde te lang

    The trip was fantastic, the views incredible. The guide however spoke mostly German for the commentary and minimal English information. The driver was driving like he was on a racing circuit so wasn’t that relaxing as a passenger especially up in the mountains with tight corners. Overall would highly recommend the trip and good value for money.

    Got to see some great places and the driver was very good on the mountainous roads. The tour guide conducted most of the commentary in German with only a partial translation in English. At the salt lakes the toilet facility were appalling and unfit for tourists. The trip I would highly recommend.
