Spain sells its good Gran Canaria Island Excursions out early, and the 15 below still have dates worth taking. What each costs today, how long it takes, and the one thing to know before you commit.
2.5-hour Spirit of the Sea cruise from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, for dolphin and cetacean sightings, with transfers and a return voucher.
“We were very lucky : sun, calm waters, dozen of dolphins eveywhere around the boat for like 30min. Good organization, nice crew, we recommend.”
2.5-hour dolphin and whale cruise from Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, with a live guide, close-up sightings, and an onboard bar.
“Excellent, probably one of the best trips we have done. The crew were fantastic, so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful explaining everything and pointing out what to look for. It was so nice to see so many dolphins and whales in their natural habitat.”
A guided buggy tour through Gran Canaria’s south, with Ayagaures Valley viewpoints, dusty off-road fun, and expert guides.
“best one to book 100% recommend. they send you a time to be picked up at your hotel and go to the place, you sign papers after brief etc but it’s honestly more like a show they are so funny, friendly and welcoming. After you go to your allocated buggy and ride on the road to the mountain side. Along the full way there’s amazing views and definitely not upset about having time on the road aswell as mountains like other reviews. At the top you stop for 10 minutes take some pictures and swap drivers if you want. Then back down and drive along to a really dusty track…”
South Gran Canaria jeep tour through off-road valleys: Roque Nublo views, Tirajana coffee, and the Valley of the Thousand Palms, $74.
“Great expedition. We enjoyed it a lot. The guide was excellent. He provided a lot of interesting information about the island. The views were breathtaking. We highly recommend it!”
Camel safari through Gran Canaria’s 300-year-old Oasis of the 1,000 Palms, with optional tapas and hotel transport, about 3 hours.
“lovely few hours spent at the camel park, staff friendly camels looked well looked after fun and unusual thing to do tapas was lovely had to wait an hour to be picked up after finishing food etc which. wasn't a major problem but would have been nice to get back!”
4.5-hour Afrikat catamaran cruise from Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria with snorkeling, lunch, unlimited beer and sangria, plus optional jet ski.
“Really enjoyable trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful.”
Jetski your own along Gran Canaria’s southwest coast from Puerto Base with a safety-boat monitor, wildlife sightings, and optional guide photos.
“We had a great time jet skiing, we had Riad as our guide and he was lovely and very helpful. He was very efficient and made sure we got the most out of our experience.”
Drive a 800cc buggy through Gran Canaria’s Fataga park with 9 am pickup options, a viewpoint photo stop, and short dirt laps.
“Had an amazing experience everything was so organised, absolutely loved it from start to finish will definitely be recommending to ours.”
Hop on a red double-decker loop through Las Palmas, from Vegueta and Pueblo Canario to Las Canteras, with an audio guide and free extras.
“A good overview of Las Palmas and the buses we used were running on time (though we had a little difficulty locating the first stop initially as the original start point was inaccessible.) The staff were friendly and the bus was clean. Some of the headphone sockets were falling off and/or didn’t work but it wasn’t too busy so we were able to move around.”
4.5-hour Gran Canaria catamaran cruise with sangria, fresh lunch, snorkeling, SUP, and kayak stops near Mogán and Tasarte.
“Lovely experience. Activity was the perfect duration, staff very friendly and helpful. Food was superb. Nice relaxed day! Thanks”
Origen Dinner Show at Sala Scala, Gran Canaria: 4 acts of Canarian history with live music, acrobatics, and a Km 0 tasting menu in 3 to 5 hours.
“A well presented, fantastic show, enjoyed by all the family, would definitely recommend. We opted for the taster menu and drinks package, not a big meal but very tasty. Drinks were served very quickly via a button request for a server.”
Fly 150 to 300 m over Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria in a small group. Parasailing lasts 10 to 12 minutes, with life jacket and boat.
“I booked this activity for my sisters birthday and it was well worth it! she lived it”
Guided 7.5-hour south tour from Las Palmas to Guayadeque caves, Maspalomas dunes, Puerto de Mogán, and an optional coast boat trip.
“Fransisco was fantastic! Wasn’t expecting much of the valley stop but the cave houses and information was very interesting. Had a stop in Puerto De Morgan for lunch after opting to take the ferry. It was a nice break from the bus. Would highly recommend Carpe Diem on the waterfront for a reasonably quick and well priced meal. The dunes were cool to see too! Would definitely recommend to see the south of the island if you are staying in the north without having to hire a car :)”
Beginner try scuba in Gran Canaria with free pickup, small groups, all gear, and PADI coaching, plus a chance to see rays and fish.
“We had a great time experiencing scuba diving for the first time with Puerto Rico scuba diving. Everything from the organization to the actual diving went really smoothly. Michele was really friendly and explained us in an easy way everything that we needed to know to enjoy our experience. We were lucky to see a calamari and a lot of very colorful fishes. We definitively recommend to go for a scuba diving experience especially with this agency. Thanks Michele and Alex for the great time!”
8-hour guided tour from Maspalomas to Tejeda, Artenara, Fataga, and the north coast, with photo stops and optional Canarian lunch.
“Amazing scenery and very informative guide. Great day out.”
