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

4.1/5
432 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.

    Een winderige dagtocht (19-25 °C) door de bergen van Gran Canaria. We bezochten De Los Azulejos de Veneguera, bekend om de gesteentelagen die door chemische reacties geel, groen, rood en blauw kleuren. Vervolgens door naar Agaete, een authentiek vissersdorp in het ruige noordwesten. We sloten af bij Salinas de Tenefé, historische 18e-eeuwse zoutpannen aan de zuidoostkust, met een boeiende rondleiding en een proeverij met hapjes bestrooid met vers geoogst zout.

    Grundsätzlich war der Zeitablauf gut. Die Zeit in Agaete war ok, aber Zeit zum baden bleibt da überhaupt nicht. Also benötigt man auch keine Badesachen. Die Leute sind fast alle zum Essen gegangen. Die letzte Station in der Salz war nur in Englisch und das wurde auch sehr schnell gesprochen. Für Leute die kein Englisch sprechen/verstehen ist dies also ein Flop. Da wäre es interessanter gewesen, den naheliegenden Strand für 30min zu genießen und den Surfern zu zuschauen. Guide Heiko ist top 👍

    The over all Tour was very good, though One Major disappointment was there No Swimming. In the guide for the trip, one of the activity's was a swim, I presumed it was somethimg to do Swimming in a salt lake, but nothing took place or was announced on the tour for Swimming either not to or to take place.
