Since 2025, access to Roque Nublo has been limited to preserve the environment of this natural jewel, an emblem of Gran Canaria. There is no more parking in the area, you can only get there by public transport or with authorised guides. Therefore, it is not possible to visit it independently.
We are Ines and Juanjo, and we are here to offer the best hiking experience to Roque Nublo.
You are not going to go on a bus tour in a large group going from one commercial stop to another. Instead of this, you will discover the real Gran Canaria accompanied by 2 local Canarian guides on a tour for a maximum of 6 passengers.
We will spend our time visiting the astonishing centre of the island, including the incredible nature and views from the most emblematic point in Gran Canaria (Roque Nublo).
You will learn about our history, culture and legends in an experience that you will never forget.
Also, a picnic (sandwiches and fruit) is included.

The island's peaks
Despite the closure of Roque Nublo due to fire risk, Inès and Juanjo offered us an alternative that allowed us to discover the peaks in the center of the island without hiking. Their knowledge of the island and their humor allowed us to learn many things and spend an excellent day in their company.
Operator response
Merci beaucoup pour ce très beau témoignage ! ❤️
Nous sommes ravis qu’Inès et Juanjo aient pu vous faire découvrir une autre facette des sommets du centre de Gran Canaria malgré la fermeture du Roque Nublo pour risque d’incendie.
La sécurité de nos voyageurs est toujours notre priorité, mais nous avons la chance de connaître l’île dans ses moindres recoins et de pouvoir proposer des alternatives lorsque les conditions nous obligent à modifier le programme. 🌋
Nous sommes particulièrement heureux que vous ayez apprécié leurs connaissances et leur humour, et surtout que cette journée vous ait permis d’apprendre et de découvrir autrement.
Merci pour votre confiance et pour avoir partagé cette belle expérience avec nous. Au plaisir de vous revoir à Gran Canaria pour une prochaine aventure ! 🌴😊

Excellent day out in the mountains away from the crowds
My wife and I did this trip.I hike a lot where my wife doesn’t.They catered for us both.
New transport was nice smooth ride with competent driving.
Knowledge from native guides was vast with some humour.
After tour made detour to the bus stop so we could go back to our hotel 20 miles away. Bus service on the Island is superb and not costly so please use.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! ❤️
We’re delighted that you and your wife enjoyed your day in the mountains and, especially, that you both felt comfortable despite having different hiking levels. One of the advantages of our small groups is being able to adapt the pace and experience to the people who are actually with us.
We’re also very happy that you enjoyed the comfortable ride, the local knowledge and the humour along the way! 😊
And we’re glad we could make the little detour at the end to help you get back to your hotel. It was our pleasure!
Thank you for joining us and for highlighting the quieter side of Gran Canaria. We hope you’ll come back and explore more of the island with us someday. 🌋🥾🌴

Great experience
Fantastic great trip and good guides with a lot of know-how. ↓ So nice to be a small group on a trip when you get better opportunity to ask questions and it’s easier to get along with what the guides tell 👍🏻 We were great with the weather and arrived at Roque Nublo in beautiful sunshine before the fog came in after a while up there.
The trip can definitely be recommended
Operator response
Tusen takk for en fantastisk anmeldelse! 🤩
Så hyggelig å høre at dere hadde en flott tur til Roque Nublo og at dere satte pris på kunnskapen og engasjementet til guidene våre.
Vi er helt enige med dere om fordelene med små grupper. Med maksimalt 6 gjester blir det mye enklere å stille spørsmål, ha en god dialog med guidene og virkelig få med seg historiene og kunnskapen underveis. Det gjør opplevelsen mer personlig for alle. ❤️
Og dere var virkelig heldige med været! Å komme opp til Roque Nublo i solskinn før tåken kom inn må ha vært et fantastisk øyeblikk. 🌋☀️☁️
Tusen takk for anbefalingen og for at dere ble med oss på eventyr. Håper vi sees igjen på Gran Canaria! 🌴🥾

sky rebels definitely to take office
by the storm roque nublo was closed, they then gave us a fantastic alternative, saw very much of the island, been on the highest peak, seen volcanic crater, too much to mention, but it was a super fun day, very experienced and fun guides. definitely recommended. and along the way always fun entertainment. lots of laughter
Operator response
Heel erg bedankt voor deze geweldige review! ❤️
Wat fijn om te lezen dat jullie ondanks de sluiting van Roque Nublo door de storm zo’n fantastische dag hebben gehad. De veiligheid van onze gasten staat altijd voorop, maar gelukkig betekent een gesloten Roque Nublo niet dat Gran Canaria ophoudt met verrassen! 🌋😉
We zijn blij dat jullie genoten hebben van het alternatief, met de hoogste toppen, vulkanische landschappen en zoveel verschillende kanten van het eiland. En natuurlijk zijn we extra blij dat er onderweg ook veel gelachen is! 😄
Onze gidsen vinden het belangrijk om flexibel te kunnen inspelen op de omstandigheden en er samen met de groep altijd een bijzondere dag van te maken.
Bedankt voor jullie vertrouwen en voor de warme aanbeveling. Hopelijk tot een volgend avontuur met Sky Rebels! 🌴🥾

You absolutely must book this trip!
What an amazing Trip! Massive thanks to Inés, Juanjo and Lupita, their talking, singing van. Their enthusiasm was infectious and their knowledge of Gran Canaria and the geology of the rock formations was so interesting. We learnt so much. It was a breathtaking view from the top and we would thoroughly recommend this trip. It was great fun and we’ll definitely be going somewhere else with them again when we return to Gran Canaria.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 🙌 It genuinely made our day!
We’re absolutely delighted that you enjoyed the adventure with Inés, Juanjo and, of course, Lupita – our talking and singing van! 😄🚐🎶
It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed learning about Gran Canaria and its fascinating volcanic geology as much as the breathtaking views from Roque Nublo. For us, the best tours are the ones where you can learn something new, discover incredible places and have a great laugh along the way.
And knowing that you’re already planning to explore somewhere else with us when you return to Gran Canaria is the best compliment we could receive. ❤️
Thank you for the enthusiastic recommendation – we’ll be waiting for you and the next adventure! 🌋🥾🌴

Must do Experience!
Our hiking trip to Roque Nublo was one of our highlights to Gran Canaria. Our guides were fun, locals and super knowledgeable about the area and customs. We not only hiked but learned a lot along the way. We had appropriate stops which were appreciated and gave us an opportunity to learn a little more and regroup. Our group was small (we had 5) which gave us the personalized experience we we looking for. Well done!

An Unforgettable Journey to Gran Canaria’s Crown Jewel
We recently took this tour company’s hiking excursion to see the iconic Roque Nublo, and overall it was a memorable experience that I’d recommend to the right travelers.
The Journey There: Cheesy Fun
The long drive to the trailhead could have been tedious, but Juan and Ines kept us thoroughly entertained with stories about ancient Canarian culture and history. Yes, it was a bit cheesy at times – especially when they had the van (affectionately named “Lupita”) “singing” to us – but honestly, their enthusiasm was infectious and made the time fly by. You could tell they genuinely loved sharing their island’s heritage and made us feel a part of their family during the tour.
The Hike: Beautiful but Challenging
Here’s where I need to set expectations straight: this hike is marketed as “easy,” but that’s misleading. While it’s only 1.5 kilometers, don’t let the short distance fool you. Some sections are quite steep and rocky, and you definitely need to be in decent physical shape to tackle it comfortably. I’d classify this as moderate difficulty, not easy.
That said, the payoff is absolutely worth it. Roque Nublo is truly one of the most spectacular natural monuments you’ll ever see – a massive volcanic rock formation rising dramatically from the landscape. The views from the base are breathtaking and make every challenging step worthwhile.
Food Considerations
The tour includes lunch, which is a nice touch. However, as vegans, we found the options quite limited. We could only eat the gofio (a traditional Canarian flour-based dish that was actually quite interesting to try) and the apples. If you have dietary restrictions, I’d recommend bringing some backup snacks or discussing options with the company beforehand.
Bottom Line
Despite the misleading difficulty rating and limited food options for special diets, I’d still recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience one of Gran Canaria’s most iconic natural wonders. Just come prepared for a workout and bring extra snacks if needed.
Best for: Reasonably fit hikers who enjoy cultural storytelling and don’t mind a bit of cheesy entertainment along the way.
Bring: Good hiking shoes, water, and backup snacks if you have dietary restrictions.
Operator response
Thank you very much for your review, Edmund.
We apologise for your food issue. We would like to remind you that you can contact us once you have made your booking to let us know about any dietary restrictions and to clarify any questions you may have about the activity.
Regards,
Inés & Juanjo
