See the best of the bunch on this popular sightseeing island tour. 

Booking option: Gran Canaria Island Tour Day Trip

The ultimate overview of Gran Canaria! This is an absolute must on your list of things to do in Mallorca. The Gran Canaria excursion starts in the south of the island and leads you once counterclockwise to the four coasts. We start in the fishing village of Puerto de Mogán, where we are greeted by colourful bougainvilleas, colonial architecture and narrow canals. The full day tour through Gran Canaria leads through volcanic landscapes to the picturesque mountain Los Azulejos and from there to the tomato centre of Gran Canaria: San Nicolás.

In the port of Las Nieves in Agaete you can admire the remains of the emblematic "Finger of God" and eat in a typical fish restaurant at a reasonable price. There will also be time for a walk along the coast before the island tour goes north via Gáldar and Guía to Arucas. Here are not only the roots of the Canary Islands, but also the banana plantations. We plan a stay in the capital Las Palmas, where you can stroll along the famous beach of Las Canteras and get an idea of the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium before the coffee break. The island tour goes along the east coast back to the south and your hotel.

The top Island Tour in Gran Canaria

Leave no stone unturned as you make your way along to the prettiest places in Gran Canaria. If time is not on your side, that’s not a problem. Spend a day in Gran Canaria and check out the best things to see and do on the island. In just a day, you hop on the bus tour and get acquainted with the must-see spots! This roundtrip in Gran Canaria takes you to the top places to see and you get treated to a fair share of history en route. The island bus tour kicks off in the south of Gran Canaria in San Augustin and Playa de Inglés. From there, the tourist bus heads southwest to the rocky and curious coast.

On the Gran Canaria island tour to the four coasts we pass the fishing village Puerto de Mogán known as "Little Venice", pass the tomato centre San Nicolas, the beautiful cliffs of the west coast and finally reach the port of Las Nieves in Agaete. There once stood the landmark known as the "Finger of God". A storm caused the symbolic rock formation to collapse. After lunch in a local fish restaurant you can take a walk to the natural pools of Puerto de las Nieves. 

On the way along the north coast you can expect many great views and Gran Canaria's beautiful nature, which will inspire you with its scenic contrasts. The highlight is the visit to Las Palmas. In the island capital you can explore the most beautiful corners of the city, go for a walk at the Las Canteras city beach and visit the auditorium "Alfredo Kraus". After visiting Las Palmas and its beautiful surroundings, the Gran Canaria island tour takes you back south to your hotel. On the last section you will see some highlights of the east coast, which is especially memorable with its extensive beaches.

The island tour Gran Canaria is a perfect opportunity to get an overview of the island and to discover new destinations for further excursions on the sunny place

Island Tour

The Gran Canaria bus tour was a wonderful way to get to know the island in a short space of time. The route took us through picturesque villages, impressive landscapes and historic towns. We particularly enjoyed the visit to Las Palmas and the walk along the beach at Las Canteras. The tour was informative and the coach was comfortable. A small negative point was the long duration of 9 hours, which was a little tiring. Overall, however, a tour worth recommending.

Insel Tour

Die Gran Canaria Bustour war eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, die Insel in kurzer Zeit kennenzulernen. Die Route führte uns durch malerische Dörfer, beeindruckende Landschaften und historische Städte. Besonders gefallen hat uns der Besuch in Las Palmas und der Spaziergang am Strand von Las Canteras. Die Führung war informativ und der Bus komfortabel. Ein kleiner Minuspunkt war die lange Dauer von 9 Stunden, die etwas anstrengend war. Insgesamt jedoch eine empfehlenswerte Tour.

An incredible trip in Gran Canaria, but it's not perfect...

The tour of Gran Canaria was a fantastic experience, but not without its problems. The journey starts early, around 7.45am, and finishes in the late afternoon. The bus was comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable, always ready to answer any questions. The stop in Puerto de Mogán was a highlight, with its charming streets and unique architecture. San Nicolás was interesting, but I thought we spent too much time there. The lunch stop in Las Nieves was marvellous! We ate fresh fish in a local restaurant that wasn't expensive. The views along the north coast are breathtaking, especially if you like contrasting landscapes. However, I think the visit to Las Palmas could have been longer to really explore the city. Overall, a good overview of the island, but you might need a longer excursion to take it all in. Not perfect, but definitely worthwhile for those short on time.

Uma viagem incrível em Gran Canaria, mas não é perfeita...

A excursão por Gran Canaria foi uma experiência fantástica, mas não sem seus problemas. A viagem começa cedo, lá pelas 7:45 da manhã, e termina no final da tarde. O ônibus era confortável e o nosso guia era muito bem informado, sempre pronto para responder a qualquer pergunta. A parada em Puerto de Mogán foi um destaque, com suas ruas charmosas e arquitetura única. San Nicolás foi interessante, mas achei que passamos tempo demais ali.

A parada para almoço em Las Nieves foi maravilhosa! Comemos peixe fresco em um restaurante local que não era caro. As vistas ao longo da costa norte são de tirar o fôlego, especialmente se você gosta de paisagens contrastantes.

No entanto, acho que a visita à Las Palmas poderia ser mais longa para realmente explorar a cidade. No geral, uma boa visão geral da ilha, mas talvez seja necessário uma excursão mais longa para aproveitar tudo. Não é perfeito, mas definitivamente vale a pena para aqueles com pouco tempo.

Beautiful day trip through Gran Canaria

A well-organised excursion with wonderful views of the island. The stops in Las Palmas and Agaete were particularly worthwhile. The guide was informative, but time was a little short in some places. 🌞

Schöner Tagesausflug durch Gran Canaria

Ein gut organisierter Ausflug mit herrlichen Ausblicken auf die Insel. Die Stopps in Las Palmas und Agaete waren besonders lohnenswert. Der Reiseführer war informativ, jedoch war die Zeit an einigen Orten etwas knapp bemessen. 🌞
