Itinerary
here you will be greeted by the green Valley of Fataga, a sumptuous garden of pine trees, a striking contrast to the peaceful and delicious spot made up of the well preserved little whitewashed village houses. These houses line narrow little streets that cross-cross the centre, adorned by a plethora of colourful flowers.
One of the most popular of the Gran Canaria attractions, Roque Nuble is a place not to be missed. Offering some of the best sightseeing in Gran Canaria with views that will blow you away.
To appreciate the essence of a place and soak up its atmosphere there is nothing better than getting to the highest point. In Gran Canaria this is the Pico de las Nieves lookout point right in the centre of the island. At 1,949 metres above sea level the uninterrupted views out over the Unesco Biosphere Reserve, with its innumerable deep valleys and jagged ridges shrouded with vegetation and crowned with spectacular rocks. Unlike other lookout points La Nieves has great views on cloudy days as you get to see Gran Canaria’s peaks and Tenerife floating on the sea of clouds.
Our next stop is to the municipality of Tejeda, in the mountainous central region of Gran Canaria. Tejeda is 44 kilometres from the capital of the island. The natural surroundings of this area are characterised by the large woods of Canarian pine, which at present also share space with a large colony of almond trees.There are numerous stalls which sell typical products of the area and where, among other things, one can savour the typical hand-made pastry of the municipality, elaborated with almonds, as well as enjoy the magnificent views of the Roque Nublo.

We had an amazing day with Sergiu! He is extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humor which helped with our lively group. What made the day great was we were able to see all of the highlights of Gran Canaria without ever feeling rushed. Would highly recommend Epic Tours!
Thank you so much Geoff! Spending the day with your group truly felt like being with good friends — joyful, curious, and always up for great conversation. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share the beauty of Gran Canaria with you and to enjoy such a fun, relaxed day together. Hope our paths cross again for another epic adventure!
We had a lovely day with our guide and driver, Sergiu. He picked us up from our ship and took us to see the dunes, beaches and beautiful south countryside of Gran Canaria. We had lunch at a scenic seaside fish restaurant. Sergiu is a wonderful and informative guide with great driving expertise. Thank you Sergiu!
Thank you so much for your kind message! I truly enjoyed sharing the day with you — you were such a great company. I’m really glad you got to experience a bit of the island’s charm and atmosphere. Wishing you many more memorable journeys ahead, and perhaps our paths will cross again one day!
This was an exceptional tour. Our guides Sergio and Melinda were great and the driver Juan also. Saw the beauty and was very educational. They made it a fun day. They knew when we had to be back at the ship and kept us on time while seeing a lot of the island.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing this tour with us! It was such a pleasure showing you around Gran Canaria, and I’m glad you had a fun and educational experience with us. Can’t wait to show you more of the island next time!
One of the best tours we have ever done!! Highly recommend! We had 6 of us with a fantastic guide (Belinda), photographer and great tour guide (Sergio) along with a great driver Juan. Believe me, you need a good driver on these roads! Lunch was perfection - in a cave with tapas and best view ever!! Saw so many things on the island of Gran Canaria. Would do a tour with any of these - any time!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear you had such a great experience. It was an absolute pleasure to explore the island with all of you! The lunch spot is definitely one of my favorites — those views are unbeatable! Belinda, Juan, and I had a fantastic time with your group, and I look forward to more adventures together in the future. Take care and hope to see you again soon!
It was an amazing shore excursion to take. Our guides Sergio and Melinda were awesome. So knowledgeable and made it fun. Our driver Juan was great too on the winding and switchback road that a big bus with many people could not drive on as street narrow. Would recommend to all if going to Gran Canaria.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure showing you around the island, and I’m glad to hear you had fun! Juan, Melinda, and I really enjoyed spending the day with you. Looking forward to another adventure next time you visit Gran Canaria! Take care!
I spent three days with Naty seeing the north, south and central parts of the island. I provided a list of the places I wanted to visit and Naty made sure we visited them and much more. I have some mobility issues so that precluded me from doing any hiking or too much walking, but nevertheless I left feeling very satisfied and didn’t feel like I missed out on anything. Naty was a wonderful guide - he is very experienced and knowledgeable and clearly has an infectious passion for the island. He went to great lengths to be sure I had the best experience - at one point a road to one of the sights I wanted to see was closed - he called the local police to see if we could access it another way - and they gave us permission to do so! He really went above and beyond. It was an excellent experience.
Sergio was very personable and an excellent guide. Not only a professional photographer but a delightful guide to showcase Las Palmas. The trip took us all over the island and a journey through the mountain giving us a very different perspective of what Gran Canaria offers. It was a memorable experience and highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your review! I’m really glad you enjoyed exploring the island and experiencing the different sides of Gran Canaria. It was a pleasure to show you around, and I’m happy to hear the day was memorable. Looking forward to more adventures next time you visit!
Sergiu took excellent care of my husband and me in a marvelous Gran Canaria adventure. I feel like we visited 3 different countries in one day, as he showed us eye-popping sights in the North, Center and South of the island. Even during lunch in the cave, we felt the view was changing minute-to-minute and we moved the “show”. Lunch at the cave moved reasonably priced for lots of delicious food. Sergiu helped us choose local specialties like pork ribs, Canary potatoes, sausage and artisanal cheese. Sergiu is an excellent photographer and he took lots of fabulous photos of my husband and me. That alone was a valuable service. He even helped me with my photo techniques both in posing and in composing. He is friendly and kind. He gave us great service with attention to detail.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m thrilled you both had such a great time exploring the island with me and enjoyed the different landscapes and experiences we packed into the day. It was a pleasure to capture those special moments for you. Looking forward to seeing you again for more adventures in the future!
Sergio is a fantastic, fascinating guide and he adapted this trip (last minute) to our family, resulting in a great experience, definitely recommended!
Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure to create a customized trip for your family, and I’m thrilled that you had such a fantastic experience. Hope to see you all again for more adventures!
Sergio was excellent and very helpful. He is a great driver. He gave us a great trip and showed us lovely scenery all the way. He is chatty.
Thank you so much! It was wonderful spending the day showing you around Gran Canaria’s beautiful scenery. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour, and I appreciate the kind words. Looking forward to more adventures together!
