Excursions Gran Canaria
About
Excursions Gran Canaria offers a unique, full‑day Across the Island Tour that takes visitors on a curated journey from the vibrant capital of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to the remote, breathtaking landscapes at the southern tip of the island. The guided experience starts at 9:00 AM in Santa Catalina Park, a short walk from the Tourist Info Centre, and follows the island’s most iconic sights: the crater of the Caldera de Bandama volcano, the historic village of Santa Brígida, the highest point Pico de las Nieves with panoramic views of Roque Nublo and Roque Bentayga, the traditional village of San Bartolomé and its old museum, the charming lunch stop in Fataga – complete with a pampered tavern – and finally a scenic stop at the sands and dunes of Maspalomas. The route is carefully planned to deliver the best possible scenery, cultural insights, and culinary taste within a single day, while also offering opportunities for visitors staying in the southern resorts to join the tour via local bus connections. With its expert, English‑speaking guide and a small group limit of 6–25 people, the tour promises an intimate, engaging exploration of Gran Canaria’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. Price is €46 per person, and the tour can be conveniently booked online through Excursions Gran Canaria’s Rezgo page or via GetYourGuide.
