## Why each made the list

- **Full Day Across the Island Tour from Las Palmas** — A coach day from Las Palmas that crosses the island north to south: the Bandama crater, the old streets of Santa Brígida, the view from Pico de las Nieves, lunch in Fataga and an afternoon at the Maspalomas dunes. Guide and transport are in the €46 per person price, food is not; guiding is in English only and the roads wind. Rated 4.93 by 513 travellers.
- **Vw Beetle Convertible Island tour Discover the island on a different way** — Drive a convertible VW Beetle in convoy through the mountains with a stop for a Canarian sandwich, wrinkled potatoes and mojo in a village restaurant, all for €90 per person per person. Each car needs one driving licence and closed shoes, seats up to four and takes children from young ages at reduced rates. Rated 4.94 by 282 travellers.
- **Gran Canaria 7 Highlights Small Group Tour with Tapas Picnic** — A small group day that strings together a black sand beach, the old centre and oldest market of Las Palmas, the balconies of Teror, the island's geographical centre and its highest point above the clouds, with a Canarian tapas picnic in a pine forest, hotel pickup and photos included at €98 per person. Rated 4.98 by 102 travellers.
- **Gran Canaria highlights & hidden gems with local guide Sky Rebels** — Two local guides pick you up in Maspalomas for a day of scenic roads, archaeology, culture and a picnic of sandwich, fruit and chocolate, in a private vehicle with water included at €95 per person. Not recommended for children under eight. Rated 4.97 by 35 travellers.
- **The Red Canyon Tour - Small Group Trip with Local Food Tasting ツ** — The south east that day trips usually skip: the Tirajana caldera, the aboriginal caves of La Fortaleza, the narrow Barranco de las Vacas and a tasting of local products, in groups capped at twenty with transport included. Expect light walks on uneven ground rather than a hike; €104 per person per person, rated 4.86 by 1053 travellers.
- **Full Day Rainforest Tour with Tasting and Swimming Time ツ** — The green north of the island in one day: the mills of Firgas, a walk through the laurel forest of the Azuaje ravine with stream crossings, an eco farm tasting and time to swim at El Puertillo. Waterproof shoes matter because feet get wet on the trail; transport and photos by the guide are included at €104 per person, rated 4.83 from 721 reviews.
- **Day Tour in North of Gran Canaria with Wine Tasting** — A small group minivan day from Las Palmas through the north: the blue stone church of Arucas, the mosaic street of Firgas, a coffee plantation with a tasting and the option of local cheese and wine for a small fee, at €48 per person. Lunch is not included and children under six are not accepted. Rated 4.67 by 60 travellers.
- **Full Day to Bandama Volcano, Center and High Peaks of Gran Canaria & Roque Nublo** — Canarian born official guides take a small group from Las Palmas to the Bandama crater, Teror, San Mateo and viewpoints over Roque Nublo and Bentayga, with a tasting of local products and minibus transport included at €48 per person. Lunch is not included and the tour runs in all weather, so bring a jacket. Rated 4.7 by 98 travellers.
- **Gran Canaria Peaks Full-Day Tour from Las Palmas** — A minibus day from central Las Palmas to the central uplands, Roque Nublo, Pico de las Nieves and Bandama, plus the towns of San Mateo and Teror, with guides who adjust the route to the group.
