This was a fantastic way to get up to the higher part of the island and see lots, and was great fun to drive and not worry about potholes! There is about 10 mins of driving on the roads, but you are in a convoy, so there is no real issue there if you are not confident of driving abroad. The team were great fun and kept the energy high. We've received our (bought) video which does include everyone on the same trip, so very little of it is us, but hey, we're not likely to be doing this again, so a great way to remember it. There are spare buggies following, so on our trip, one broke down, so they swapped them into the spare, so no time was lost on the event. Opportunities were given for swapping drivers a few times, so we both got roughly equal time. The only negative we had in the whole event was the Viator app - it gave a grid reference and map showing exactly where we had to stand to be collected. We were there early but no-one showed up. Messaged the company via the app, no reply, so phoned the number stated, ended up speaking with Viator. They got hold of Buggy Pirates who contacted me to find out where we were - well, right where we were told to stand as per the app! They sent Lucian out to collect us, so we missed the group safety briefing, therefore received individual briefing quickly before setting out. It is great to be picked up and delivered back, but if you book this, do ask for a what3words reference or exact road/hotel spot. You need to be prepared to get dusty and dirty, possibly muddy if it's been raining (very rare!) But do not wear white, and cover as much of the skin as possible - sunburn and windburn, plus possibly stones and gravel kicked up. The dust gets everywhere, so wear a snood and if you can, something over your hair - felt so dry afterwards.

the tour guide VICTOR is very clear to explain the history and all about the information of what we have seen without being boring. We have seen the barranco de las vacas, the caves, a good panorama a LA FORTALEZA and had a food tasting in the city Santa Lucia where I bought some local products like marmelades and cakes. Finally we ended the trip to the sea with a little walk tasting a great italian ice cream. Victor also took picture of this trip and we receveid a file zip by mail. All perfect. 5 STARS.

Fantastic experience due they help us to celebrate our friends 40th and 50th birthday. The food is lovely. Just to pre warn you tea & coffee is not free which is a shame due the weather was a bit cloudy/chilly on that day but didn’t stop us having good time. The staffs lovely, friendly and welcoming especially given everyone blanket to keep us warm. Extra bonus able to pick us up from the hotel and return.

We had a great day! The boat was very nice, clean and comfortable and a perfect size for the 12 guests. The crew were friendly and attentive. There were lots of free drinks and the meal served was very tasty. Our favourite part was snorkelling and paddle boarding (gear included). Our teenage boys loved it. The place we stoped in for swimming was nicely sheltered and water was perfect temperature for swimming even in early April. Had great fun observing fish underwater for hours. All together this trip was a highlight of the holiday for our whole family.

If you like beach clubs relaxing and a wonderful view this is the place to go.- just booked it! I just booked this the night before our visit as I had a Recommendation from someone in my hotel. We are staying in Puerto Rico so you can get the bus from the town (less than 2€ each ) or a taxi around (15€) I opted for the bus not due to cost due to it’s adventure. You need to get off at stop Cass Memo but for us the bus was full and we were at the back so we missed the stop (the driver doesn’t tell you when it is) not a problem we got off at Melonaras and got the next bus back (unbelievably it was at the stop opposite at the same time 😂) it was about a 10 minute walk to the venue not a problem for us. We arrived at 11.45 and was greeted by a lovely lady at reception who checked us in explaining everything and gave us a welcome drink (cava water or fruit juice) I wasn’t going to have an alcoholic drink but thought it was the best value 🤣 Our beds were about 4 from the sea and at the end. You can choose your type of beds if you book directly with the place (I had booked via Viator as it was better value- I never understand why it’s cheaper than booking directly!!) Anyway the best were single not a problem and had a lovely thick mattress and a towel on, an umbrella if you want and a table with a buzzer to order food or drinks. We had 1 hr spa included- honestly it was amazing! You had to book time slot with the spa staff (you could ring them but I chose to walk to spa so I knew where to go) The lady on reception was friendly and I chose 3pm as I wanted to relax for a bit first. I also booked a back and shoulder 25 minutes massage. The beds are comfortable and the background music was nice. Amazing view from the place (only minor negative it’s next to larger cement factory I think) Thetecwere lots of people surfing in the sea which was great to watch too. We decided to have lunch at our beds but there’s a restaurant and a chill out area to eat. Food was delicious we had vegetarian pizza and tuna salad to share and a jug of sangria (better value than a glass - drinking definitely went out of window plus there’s always tomorrow to abstain! and I’m on my holidays after all 😂🙈) I went to the spa at 2.30pm for my treatment where I was greeted by the receptionist and my masseur Kristina - she had such a welcoming smile. Kristina showed me around, got me my locker token (robe towel and slippers- the slippers were washable/reusable I like this as I hate waste on UK they throw them out (not good for the environment!) and I got ready for my 25 minute (back neck shoulders) I regularly get a massage at home as I love a spa day and sometimes they are good and sometimes not so - all I can say is she AMAZING! and I only regret is that I didn’t have the 1hr full body. She is so friendly and attentive and got out my knots in my shoulder. At 3pm my husband arrived for out 1 hr spa along with another nice (young) couple In the spa there is a steam room sauna relaxation beds showers ice wash and a fabulous pool which had lots of jets 3 that were more powerful and 3 beds in pool which were great. The hour went so quickly and it felt like the spa was just for us as the lovely young couple (Elliott and I think Adrianne) kept themselves away from us and we did the same eg they went in pool we went in steam room it was just perfect. You are given a bottle of water there is fruit and also chocolate! The hour went so quickly then it was back to relax, watch the surfers 🏄 and read my book. The place closes at 6 but we left around 5 as it was cloudy by then.

We had a wonderful private tour and an excellent overall travel experience. We learned so much about the local culture and history, which made the trip even more meaningful. Our tour guide was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the island. That passion really brought Gran Canaria to life for us. The island itself is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended!

Marion was an excellent instructor. She explained everything very clearly and made us feel completely safe and comfortable underwater. At one point, I couldn’t clear the water from my mask using the usual technique, so I signaled i wanted to go up, and I was able to relax completely knowing Marion would take care of everything and bring me to the surface safely. The experience itself is otherworldly, you enter a world that feels almost sacred and have the chance to observe wildlife with respect. It’s absolutely amazing. The key to scuba diving is to stay relaxed and be mindful of the environment, and everything falls into place. Huge thanks to Marion and Mike for making this such an unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience and amazing value for money. My husband and I have done similar trips and this is along the best. The catamaran is spacious, guest numbers limited and staff brilliant. The all inclusive drinks and locally sourced lunch were worth the price alone. Cannot recommend enough and would do it all again tomorrow!
