Itinerary
From the sea to the central mountains and even underground, you'll see the very best of Gran Canaria with this tour. You'll get up-close to more than 300 marine species in Poema del Mar aquarium, drive through the green valley of Guayadeque to eat lunch in a restaurant carved out of a cave and round off with free time in the colonial town of Agüimes. Miguel, one of our local guides, says, ‘There's so much packed into one day. But for me, the most interesting part is Guayadeque, which represents a very important part of our prehistory.'
First up is one of the most popular attractions in Las Palmas. With panoramic curved windows and countless exhibitions, Poema del Mar is where you'll get lost in a hypnotic underwater world that's home to hundreds of sea creatures. There are electric eels, bull sharks and fish that look just like Nemo. ‘The kids are always happy in Poema del Mar,' says Miguel.
Next, you'll journey through the island's greenest corner to Guayadeque canyon. It's famed for its cave homes, which the ancient aborigines built in lava bubbles, and winding hiking trails. Head inside a cliff-carved cave converted into a restaurant and enjoy a tapas lunch made from locally sourced ingredients.
Then it's on to Agüimes for some with free time in this pretty, pastel-coloured parish that sits perched above the green ravine of Guayadeque. You can see the elegant church, stop for a coffee in a local café or take some selfies by the town's many statues.

We stayed as part of a group round trip in early March for 2 weeks on China trip, including domestic flight, express train rides and river cruise and bus. Everything was very well organized, the hotels were consistently very good, the tour guides were all very competent, informative and friendly. The food was excellent, no matter what hotel or restaurant, there was great choice and plenty. China is a great country, everything is organized. The many surveillance cameras have given us not fear but security. We felt safe everywhere, there were no negative events. All cities, roads, trains, stations, buses, sights.....are very clean. Cleaning crews are always on the move, keeping everything clean and collecting garbage, there are no butts, gum, graffiti. Everywhere there were public, very clean toilets - of course free of charge - not paid and dirty as in Germany. The people are very friendly and helpful - despite language barrier, with the translation app that worked. With cash payment there was no problem at all, in the big banks you could change money, which is a bit complex for the bank staff (passport scanning, copying, hotel addresses etc.), but it was done very friendly. The sights are very well maintained. We cannot confirm many prejudices and negative reports that are told and written with us at all. We can only highly recommend this country - pity it was only 2 weeks, we would have endured it even longer :)!
They should know exactly where they are being picked up and have the correct booking reference and name. We and the coach were waiting 15 minutes because the guide had a different reference number to us!
Loved the aquarium but nothing else on this trip. The lunch was ridiculous which was tapas style nonsense! Better to save money and just do the aquarium. Nothing else to see

Great service, varied tasty lunch. Coffee with oat milk is possible. Too bad about the music. Too harsh and aimed at young target audience. Could be a bit softer or preferably completely gone. The couple next to us was annoyed by it too.
