This experience has 100% Gran Canaria stamped all over it. You'll visit the Arehucas Rum Distillery for a tasting session. Then, come face to face with creatures from the deep at Poema del Mar aquarium. There's also free time in the town of Vegueta and Agate.

It all starts at the Poema del Mar, where you'll see creatures from different corners of the world. Head to the Reef, where you'll encounter corals and fish of every colour imaginable. There's also the Deep Sea, with millions of litres of water. All in all, it brings you within touching distance to an enchanting underwater world.

It's then off to Arucas Rum Distillery – the oldest rum-producer in Europe – where there's a tour and tasting experience. And afterwards, you'll be transferred to the historic centre of Vegueta, the birthplace of the capital Las Palmas. Grab some lunch and have a look around its historical mansion houses. Finally, you'll catch the ferry back to Tenerife.

The guide who took us around Gran Canaria was amazing. Funny, engaging and knowledgable. However, the transfer staff from Tenerife were appalling. No communicaton, didn’t know what the plan was or what we were to do once reaching Gran Canaria. On the way back, we had no coach and the rep didn’t tell us what was happening. She got on our mini bus eventually when left us half was to the hotels with no explanation as to what was as happening. Not impressed.

Great experience loved the aquarium and learned alot at the rum distillery. Only issue would be the amount of time spent doing the activities to travel an hour in each place didn't seem long enough. But can't help travel times overall very good

Was not as advertised and times were short at the aquarium only an hour and half, and was told we were going to a rum factory which was not what we wanted or was in the advert for the trip when we booked it

Brilliant day in Gran Canaria, made great for us because our guide Selina spoke English extremely well, was nice and clear in her diction, and did not gabble. She was very knowledgable about her island, culture and history, and made our tour very interesting.

Worth the money. Everything went nice and smooth. We had fun at every stop.

Absolutely amazing experience, something for all ages, we didn't feel rushed myself my partner & children 8yrs & 16yrs really enjoyed this experience. Definitely worth the money. We loved the aquarium and visiting all the different places.it took more like 13hrs but so worth it. The staff were so polite & very helpful. 10/10. My advice just go and book it ull love it. Thankyou for completing our holiday.
