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.

    The driver arrived at exactly time to pick us up. His driving was very good and we felt safe in his hands. The narrator was very clear and gave us good information along the journey.

    Turned up twenty minutes late and we had to sit in the back of a small minibus ( 8 seater ) with no air conditioning for the full 8 hour tour . We enjoyed the views and scenery and places we stopped at but most of all getting out of the minibus for fresh air

    The only complaint we have is the way the minibus was being driven. My wife was feeling sick even before we had got to the meeting point, and we had to move seats. The minibus was driven very quickly, not smoothly and after all 4 of the minibuses had split up after the tour, it was like we were on a stage of the Spanish rally championship. We did complain to Luna (TUI rep) when we saw her the next day. We felt unsafe on the way back, and it felt like the minibus was on 2 wheels on islands.

    Hated the salt add on. Boring especially after a long day. Understand why it is added but better a shorter day. Guests need to be made aware that the journey is very twisty and not suitable for those who suffer with travel sickness. The suggestion that you could bathe is ludicrous. Overall glad we took this trip
