Start your trip with thrilling adventure activities. Get on a buggy ride and explore scenic routes, sand dunes, and mountains. You can also try paragliding or rappelling and witness the stunning cliffs and deep valleys. Afterward, unwind on the beach and watch the beautiful sunset.
Spend the day exploring Gran Canaria's natural wonders. First, tour the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and hike through the volcanic landscapes, ravines, and forests. Discover hidden caves and marvel at the unique rock formations inside. End the day with a refreshing swim in a natural pool and enjoy a picnic.
Complete your trip with exciting water activities. Take a boat tour and see dolphins and whales up close. Go snorkeling or scuba diving to explore the amazing marine life and coral reefs. You can also try windsurfing or paddleboarding in the crystal-clear water. Before you leave, savor the delicious seafood dishes in a local restaurant.
You can rent a car to easily get around Gran Canaria. Expect to spend around €30-€40 per day on rental fees. Taxis and public transportation are also available but may take longer and cost more.
If you have more time, you can visit other points of interest such as the Maspalomas Lighthouse, Puerto de Mogán, and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Beach. If you have less time, you can skip caving or water adventures and focus on hiking, or split the activities into two days.
