All Gran Canaria Tours & Excursions in 2026

Great tour with appropriate amendments to the itinerary due to external circumstances. Our tour was one that was constantly changing to be in line with government stipulations due to the heat/wildfire concerns resulting park closures and safety concerns. Even though this was of the tour operators control, they communicated potential changes in the preceding days in advance and kept us up to date with alternative arrangements than the original itinerary. This resulted in what I feel was a more unique view of the heart of Gran Canaria. While it would have been lovely to visit the Roque Nublo, that wasn't possible and we went to the Cuevas del Ray and got to climb up and into some caves. Here our tour guide really provided plenty of information and rich history of the island and aboriginal past of the dwellers and way of life in the caves. Climbing up the steep rocks really makes you consider the difficulties and perseverance of the way of life back then. Besides from this, our tour itinerary went as stated here and lunch was enjoyable. It was a full day out and the alert was partially lifted on the way to our first viewpoint - making the tour very agile and more adventurous. Our group was really small, 4 in total (excluding the guide), so it made the experience more intimate and relaxing.

Fantastic family morning out – made unforgettable by the Happy Buddha! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic morning on the Afrikat catamaran. Hotel pickup was included, everything was well organised, and we left the harbour promptly at 10am. The catamaran holds around 70 people, but it wasn’t at full capacity, which made the whole experience feel much more relaxed. We got four sun loungers at the bow, and it was the perfect place to enjoy the trip. From the moment we set off, one of the crew members, who proudly called himself the “Happy Buddha” (describing himself as “just a happy fat man!”), completely made the day for our family. He was hilarious, constantly entertaining everyone, and had us all laughing from start to finish. He even convinced me to recreate with him the famous Titanic scene on the front of the boat in front of everyone, which was both embarrassing and hilarious, especially as he put on a t-shirt making him look like he was wearing ladies underwear! Unfortunately, our phones had overheated in the Gran Canaria sun, but he happily put them in the fridge to cool them down so we could use them again – a small gesture that really summed up how helpful and friendly he was. Lunch was much better than expected. We were served pasta along with a chicken and bacon wrap, and it was genuinely delicious. Unlimited alcoholic and soft drinks were included throughout the trip, although the Happy Buddha’s signature cocktail (an extra €10) was well worth buying! There was plenty to do once we anchored. We enjoyed snorkelling, diving from the back of the boat, and the speedboat ride, which was only €5 per person and great fun. Our children also tried the doughnut ride and said it was even better than the one they had done from the beach. There were other water sports available too, all at very reasonable prices. The whole 4½-hour trip was brilliantly organised, relaxed, fun, and excellent value for money. It was one of the highlights of our holiday, and a huge part of that was thanks to the Happy Buddha. He is an absolute credit to the crew and deserves a massive shout-out. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a fun day out on the water!

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.
