Gran Canaria adventure holiday in or on the water
A holiday by the sea brings with it some great activities. If you want to make your holiday a little more active, why not try one of our water sports activities? For example, go on an exploration tour of Gran Canaria's underwater life. You can learn to dive as part of a taster diving course. There are also dives for advanced divers. If you don't feel comfortable in the depths of the Mediterranean, you can also explore the underwater world with a snorkel.
One of the most popular activities is flyboarding. With a flyboard, you can move around in the water like a dolphin. The highlight, however, is the art of flying. You can perform all kinds of tricks in the air or take a nosedive back into the water. Absolute fun for adrenaline junkies.
You can also have fun on a jet ski. Speed across the sea and experience a fantastic feeling of freedom and jump over the waves as if it were just you, the jet ski and the vast ocean. But don't underestimate how exhausting jet skiing can be in the long run.
Gran Canaria adventure holiday while riding a horse and camel
Horse riding is a great thing. You can explore the landscape much better from the back of a horse. Enjoy the view over the whole of Maspalomas, the dunes and the unusual mountain world of Gran Canaria. Ride past tropical plants and cactus fields. After the ride, you have the opportunity to refresh yourself in the small ranch bar and chat with the other riders about the great ride.
The absolute highlight of your holiday on Gran Canaria is a ride on the back of a camel. The 30-minute ride takes you through the dunes of Maspalomas, which were created by the sandstorm that came from Africa many years ago. On the way, you will also discover the camels' enclosures where the mothers live with their little baby camels. This special ride is suitable for the whole family. Children in particular will find this experience wonderful and will not soon forget this excursion.
Gran Canaria adventure holiday on wheels
Discover the beautiful Canary Island on wheels. A buggy tour is an adventurous way to discover the island. Experience a new kind of driving pleasure with the trendy open off-road vehicles. Ride in a convoy behind the tour guide and enjoy the view. You drive along the coastal road, through small villages and of course on great off-road routes through the countryside. A great holiday experience for young and old.
A Jeep Cabrio Tour is one size bigger. Discover Gran Canaria in an open-top two-seater. Drive over hill and dale and experience extraordinary driving fun. The guided tour includes a shared picnic. If you are staying in the south of the island, there is the option of being picked up and returned by a transfer.
For something a little more sporty, take a mountain bike. Explore the island on your own or as part of a guided mountain bike tour to the most beautiful spots on the island. For experienced mountain bikers, there are wonderful downhill trails on Gran Canaria where you can experience a fantastic descent.
Gran Canaria outdoor adventure holiday
There are plenty of outdoor excursions on Gran Canaria. Have you ever heard of coasteering? An adventurous way of climbing followed by a dip in the refreshing water.
Coasteering involves scaling a steep cliff. You are of course secured. However, you have to be careful not to get caught by the waves breaking on the cliffs. But when you reach the top, you will know why this strenuous climb was worth it. And if you dare, you can jump off the cliffs into the water. But make sure you check with the tour guide beforehand where you are allowed to jump.
You can also climb on other steep rock faces, e.g. inland. Here, too, you are of course secured so that if you lose your footing, you are only dangling in the air. Once at the top, you can enjoy a magnificent view.
The classic outdoor activity is hiking. Grab a rucksack, sturdy shoes, sun protection and plenty of water and off you go. There are countless hiking trails on Gran Canaria that are also signposted. Or join a hiking group led by a professional guide. Because if you get lost once, e.g. in the mountains, you won't be found again so quickly. Be sure to take a mobile phone with you so that you can contact the emergency services if necessary, who will then pick you up by helicopter. In most cases, however, everything goes well.
To make your holiday unique, all you have to do is decide which activity you would most like to do. And then get out into nature!
