What to expect

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.

    De tour door de bergen was prachtig. De chauffeur en de gids vonden wij wat afstandelijk. Eerst kwamen de stops vrij vlot op elkaar maar vanaf Agaete naar de zoutvlaktes was een lange rit.

    Travelled with family


    Retken varaaminen Kaisa-oppaalta oli sujuvaa ja ystävällistä. Retkeä mainostettiin opastettavan kahdella kielellä (englanti ja saksa). Englannin kielinen opastus oli muutama hassu lause, eli retken anti jäi erittäin ohueksi, lähinnä maisemien katselua bussin ikkunasta. Pyysimme opasta ensimmäisellä pysähdyksellä kertomaan enemmän englanniksi. Hänen perustelunsa oli, ettei osaa kieltä kovin hyvin äidinkielensä ollessa saksa. Tämän jälkeen emme kuulleet englantia senkään vertaa. En suosittele!

    Ihmettelimme miksi ops sanoi aluksi miksi olimme tällä retkellä- myöhemmin tajusimme kommentin: retki oli 99% saksankielinen. Lisäksi olimme autossa kuin pienet rusinat: jouduimme viimeisinä istumaan takana, jossa penkit oli pituus ja leveyssuunnassa suunniteltu lapsille. 2x aikuista isohkoa miestä keskellä ja naiset reunoilla rutistuneina. Lisäksi ilmastointikotelo plokkasi pahasti näkymiä ja seinä oli hyytävän kylmä. Harmi, että nämä seikat pilasivat retkeä oleellisesti, sillä näkymät oli ok.

    Never in all my time travelling with TUI has a guide been so off hand and disinterested in helping
