Gran Canaria is not called a miniature continent for nothing. It goes from the desert, the dunes in the south over the dry canyons through picturesque villages up to the center with fragrant pine forests. On the north side, the green and vegetated part of the island awaits us with chestnut groves, remains of the laurel forest and an interesting cultural landscape. Also the culinary should not be neglected, we enjoy typical specialties of the Canarian cuisine at lunchtime. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 97 pickup points - Starts 09:00: one departure a day - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available **Pickup:** Hotel pickup from 97 pickup points ## Key facts - Price: from €520 per group/vehicle - Duration: 7h–8h - Rating: 4.98/5 from 45 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Jörg Kroker - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: German, Spanish - Start times: 09:00 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-16 ## Reviews 4.98 from 45 ratings on Guidekin & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 45 of 45. - 5 stars: 44 (98%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## What's included - Private transportation - We enjoy a typical lunch and try the different little things that the Canarian cuisine has in store for us. - Bottled water - Air-conditioned vehicle ## Itinerary 1. **Maspalomas** (20m) - Visit to the famous dunes of Maspalomas, photo opportunity, short walk along the promenade. 2. **Mirador Degollada De La Yegua** (15m) - We stop at the viewpoint and enjoy the views of the small "Grand Canyon", the Fataga Valley and the south of Gran Canaria, Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas. 3. **Fataga** (30m) - Visit to the old mountain village of Fataga, with its typical whitewashed small houses and picturesque streets.
