You can walk among mangoes, avocado trees, guava trees, orange trees and papayas. As far as their wines are concerned, during the tour they give you three different wines to try from their cellar (with native grape varieties). To accompany the wine, they will give you a taste of their homemade cheese jam and, of course, the coffee from their plantation.

The tour ends with a guided tour of Puerto de Las Nieves (Agaete) and a visit to Las Salinas natural pools (with the possibility of swimming). By the way, this private excursion starts at the Caldera de Bandama where the guide will tell you all about the last volcano that was active in Gran Canaria 2000 years ago.

4) The best of Gran Canaria
As we have been explaining to you on other occasions, Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands in general are known as miniature island-continents due to the number of contrasts that you can find in their landscapes, as well as their different microclimates. On this private tour you will be taken to the peaks of the island to go from its most similar landscapes to the Far West, to its Canarian pine forests. The first stop is in the Fataga ravine and its beautiful town (with the option to visit an ecological aloe vera plantation).
After visiting Fataga, the route continues ascending to the summit of Gran Canaria, stopping at the town of San Bartolomé (Tunte) and finally at Cruz de Tejeda. Keep in mind that the route by car involves crossing mountain roads with many curves, not suitable for all audiences. Likewise, the route can be extended by hiking to Roque Nublo and/or visiting a winery at more than 1000 meters above sea level with a tasting of 3 wines (see conditions and supplement).
- Included: private transportation from your hotel, official guide, civil liability and accident insurance. Lunch not included. You can choose a restaurant en route with the guide’s suggestions.
- Price: € 180 per person (minimum 2 people). The price is reduced as there are more people.
- Supplement: check the supplement for the hiking route or the visit to the winery.

6) Treasures of the south. Private tours Gran Canaria
If this is your first time in Gran Canaria, you cannot miss the incredible Maspalomas Dunes and the small fishing village of Puerto de Mogán. Perhaps they are two of the most touristic areas of the island, but also the most picturesque and striking: a landscape of dunes with the Atlantic in the background and a colorful coastal town with its own canals, often known as Little Venice. It is a tour that we recommend as long as it is your first time on the island, since it is two essentials.
