You have plenty of time at each stop. There is a boat trip from Puerto Rico to Puerto de Mogan, which was €7.50 per ticket, but we stayed on the bus, which drove there. Unfortunately, my husband had a broken seat on the bus, so he couldn't sit back on his seat and there were no other seats available. It was still a nice way to visit different places on the island.
The pickup was easy, the ride very comfortable, the guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. I want to say thank you to the guide and the driver for a great experience.
A great day out having a look around the Southern part of the Island, the bus driver the guide and the boat trip were all top class.
Fantastic tour taking in some spectacular places and sights with a very knowledgeable guide Francisco. Going into the guayadaque ravine was our first stop. We saw Incredible “cave houses” and found out about the history of these. We were even able to enter one of the houses to have a look. We had stopped at a restaurant which had taken 17/18 years to complete- in the rock— and were able to wander about inside. All was stunning and incredible to think they were made from existing caves. Next stop was Puerto Rico to catch a ferry across to puerto Mogán (small additional charge if you chose to go on this). Well worth the boat ride and the crew were amazing; happy, accommodating, funny and very helpful. We even had a shot of driving the boat ! Puerto Mogán is absolutely stunning and definitely a must for a visit. Quaint little narrow streets of white houses covered in beautiful hanging flowers and little fountains at each turn along with the canals which were crystal clear and full of fish. A multitude of restaurants to choose from for some lunch. I picked a place and ordered salt baked sea bass which was opened, filleted and served in front of me onto my plate along with canarian potatoes and salad. Next and last stop was Las Dunas de Maspalomas, miles and miles of huge sand dunes formed by the transportation of sand in the winds over the island originating from the Sahara. The day was absolutely wonderful, the one small negative I would mention was that the description of this tour and it’s itinerary was different from what I read and we were rushed each time to get back onto the bus to reach the next destination leaving much less free time than stated in the original itinerary. That said I still had a wonderful day.
Great tour, we visited beautiful areas with plenty of time to explore on our own as well as guided tour. Highly recommend it.
The tour guide was very nice and kept the vibe up, but the bus consistently broke down leaving us in ridiculous heat. The tour guide bought our drinks at the end of the trip but the times at each location were really reduced as the bus took ages to get there. Nobody’s fault just was disappointing!
Fantastic experience in a day of the most varied and complete. Our guide Bruno was great in offering us extensive information about the route with very interesting details about the history and traditions of the Canary Islands. Barranco de Guayadeque is for me the most beast my eyes have ever seen. It is like getting into the Sonoran Desert.Maspalomas Dunes and the beautiful port of Mogan put a perfect pin on an insurmountable day. Recommended 100%
What an excellent guide Celene ! And the driver too was amazing ! Celine Went out of the Way to explain everyting so clearly and in depth ! Really a high quality tour ! Well done to the team , Bruno !
Relaxed enjoyable and very informative with an excellent tour guide. Well worth the money. The optional boat trip was an added bonus even if it did cost a few euros!!!
Very beautiful course to discover. A magnificent view, valleys and mountains not to be missed, this island really has beautiful places to explore
