- Sports or trekking shoes (with a good grip) are mandatory and will be checked by the guide before starting the excursion. During our routes, we recommend mountain clothing or sports clothing.
- In the period from April to September, rainfall is low, the temperature even in the highest part of the mountains is around 22 degrees, reaching up to 26 degrees in June, July and August. The T-shirt usually fits us well, but it is always good to wear long-sleeved clothing.
- The months of October to March are a variable period of time and more frequent rains (we always try to avoid carrying out our excursions during rainy days, but sometimes the weather can surprise us). It is recommended (during the mandatory cold days) warm clothing with long sleeves (pants, polartec) and a waterproof jacket that can work perfectly as a windbreaker.
- In case of force majeure that prevents the excursion from continuing or endangers the health or life of the excursion participants (weather conditions, etc.), the organizer reserves the right to modify the route or change it to another / another date, or cancel it.
- Recommended minimum age for children: 8 years.
- Considering that our lunch at the restaurant will be around 3:30 p.m. and your own way of eating, you can bring a light meal on your own, for example (fruits, energy bars, almonds, cookies, etc.). sandwich etc)

Maciej was super energetic and had great stories for the drive up, during the tour, and the drive back. We were a bit of a quiet group, but it was impressive to see him toggle between 3 languages for the tour. The hike itself was fairly easy and Maciej made it a point to stop at intervals to ensure everyone wasn't too tired and we were able to learn about stops along the way. The hike itself was gorgeous - saw many peaks and the skies were clear. Nice day altogether. Thank you again Maciej!
Super fun day this was...I knew in advance that this would be a great day. It's a good thing it wasn't the 10 km they do outside the summer months because the heat is chomping in anyway, although that was absolutely doable, because there is really a lot of taking a break. Also really a small group, super nice was this, that's what it really feels like to be away with friends and not so much as a real excursion and I prefer that, for me this is a keeper, next time in Canarias I will go back with you than for the walk of the week. There was also a very nice lunch offered and that absolutely tasted after the effort..the organization was just top, as well as the service, I absolutely recommend this hike, thank you very much and see you next time, greetings from Belgium, Marianne
The trip was great! It was nice hiking tempo with many short stops to take some pictures and drink water. The guide would point out certain interesting things and could explain it in multiple languages. the scenery was fantastic but dont underestimate having good shoes and lots of water! The food was fine, i was worried the restaurant wouldn't have any vegetarian meals but they had 3 different veg options + other meat options. The price was more than worth it! Definitely recommend it if you like to hike in beautiful mountains.
A beautiful walk on the peaks of grand Canaria
What a fantastic day out! Maciej is a highly skilled tour guide and led our small group through breathtaking scenery over a moderately challenging mountain route. The pace was that of the slowest walker - no one struggled to keep up or was left behind. Even the drive to the start point was an unforgettable experience as we made our way through picturesque villages and rugged terrain. I'm so glad to have connected with GC Active Tour and as a frequent visitor to the Island, will be booking with them the next time I'm back in Gran Canaria.
Absolutely AMAZING! Macha is super nice and knowledgeable gave us info on our surrounding. We saw rock nublo and climbed one of the peaks (in pictures). Breathtaking views and Macha will match your pace and give breaks when needed. Highly recommend it!
I did the Peaks of Gran Canaria hiking tour today and it completely exceeded my expectations. The scenery throughout the hike was absolutely breathtaking — truly magical landscapes, with the chance to discover and even smell some of the island’s unique flowers and nature. A special mention goes to Maciej, who was an exceptional guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, very professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm and insights made the whole experience even more enjoyable and interesting. The tour itself was extremely well organised, with well-timed and frequent stops that made the hike comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. The food provided at the end was also a very thoughtful touch and much appreciated after such an active and energetic day. I would highly recommend this hiking tour to anyone visiting Gran Canaria — it is absolutely worth it and one of the highlights of my trip.
Anyone who wants to experience the diversity of Gran Canaria is exactly right here. The drive to the center of the island already gives the first impressions of the landscapes and mountains. The hike was relaxed with some short breaks during which events, plants, and animals were discussed. Along the way, you get to see various viewpoints. In addition to the many flowers, butterflies were also visible. The only thing that remained covered during the tour by clouds was part of the north. However, the interplay between clouds, mountains, and weather zones was a highlight in itself. The guide is excellent and can speak several languages. There were 4 nationalities on the tour, and everyone received the same information. A small tip: the advice to bring a rain jacket should be taken seriously. The start was damp and cool. If I travel to the island again, I will book a tour with GC Active Tour again.
We had a fantastic day. The weather was lovely for a walk. The walk was fine to do. Maciej is a good guide, takes everyone into account and tells a lot about the area. We regularly took a short break, so it was also doable for people with a less good condition. In short, this walk was a nice way to see the island from a different side.
It was a fantastic day in the mountains. We truly enjoyed the beauty of nature, with so many flowers and breathtaking views all around us. It allowed us to discover the island from a completely different perspective. The lunch stop was lovely, with delicious food and a wonderful view. We highly recommend this experience—our guide was amazing and shared so much interesting information about the island’s flora and fauna.
