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

4.2/5
65 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.

    Tolle Einblicke in die Bereiche außerhalb des Tourismus. Schöne Landschaften und niedliche Orte. Einwandfreie Begleitung und gute Organisation. Für die Abholzeit wäre ein Hinweis gut gewesen, dass sich dieser evtl. verzögert. Wir wurden mit 25 Minuten Verzögerung abgeholt, ohne dazu eine Information erhalten zu haben. Der TUI Service hat uns allerdings sehr geholfen.

    Preis-Leistungsverhältnis : überwiegend Fahrt im Bus, 3 Stopps mit eigener Freizeitgestaltung ; Präsentation in den Salinen zu kurz und in Englisch (erst vor Ort erfahren), obwohl der Ausflug in Deutsch gebucht war= 49€ p.P. zu hoch! Tourguide Heiko: sehr gut, viele Infos zur Insel während der Fahrt über Funkgerät vermittelt, alle Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

    Gefallen hat uns: die einzelnen Stationen waren gut ausgewählt; der Fahrer ist sicher gefahren; wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt. Nicht gefallen hat uns: zu unpersönlicher Guide, Massenabfertigung; Ansagen im Bus über Walkitalkis und daher nur schwer zu verstehen; viel zu wenig Informationen zur Insel und den einzelnen Stationen, zu wenig Zeit an den Stationen; die Salinen in Tenefé nur in Englisch, obwohl Tour auf Deutsch gebucht; viel zu viel Fahrerei im Bus, anstatt an den Stationen verbracht.

    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
