We begin our tour southwest to visit Puerto de Mogán, a former fishing village turned one of Gran Canaria’s most picturesque spots, known for its bougainvillea, colonial architecture, and canals that earned it the nickname “Little Venice.” We continue through colourful volcanic landscapes to San Nicolás, the heart of tomato cultivation, with greenhouses producing a variety of tomatoes and tropical fruits. The west coast cliffs lead us to Puerto de Las Nieves in Agaete, where you can see the remains of the “Finger of God” and enjoy an optional lunch in a traditional fish restaurant. The tour follows the north coast through Gáldar, once a major aboriginal kingdom, and Guía, known for artisanal cheeses. We reach Arucas, land of bananas and birthplace of Canarian rum. In Las Palmas, you may stroll along Las Canteras beach, photograph the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, or shop at Las Arenas

Grand day in Gran Canaria
This day trip is exceptionally good with the amount of activities and tour stops for the value, which was $37 which excluded lunch (15€ at a restaurant with a preselected menu) and a visit to the banana farm (2€). Our tour guide, Carmelo, was fantastic. He narrated throughout the day in 3 languages (Spanish, German and English). I highly recommend this excursion if you want to see the rest of the island.

Book this tour but NOT through Viator
Firstly, this review does not reflect the content of the tour nor the guide. Both were excellent value for money. My issue is with the pick up and the terrible customer service I received afterwards from Viator. A big draw for this tour was the hotel pick up. We were staying at Kumara Serenoa which is a little off the main road, next to a golf course. Excellent hotel. I had selected the hotel as pick up and this was on the voucher. 9am on 24th feb 2024. So far so good. At 19:44 on 23rd feb, I got a WhatsApp from the company stating the pick up would be 8:40 outside of a pharmacy 20mins walk away. This was very disappointing but too late to cancel so I got up earlier, had a rushed breakfast and made the trip. In return I fed this back to Viator on live chat. The first person said this was not acceptable and he would request a refund. I later got an email saying we were not getting a refund as we had an email 12 days before with the changes on. I searched my inbox, junk and deleted and no email. None of these had been emptied for some weeks. I tried again with the live chat. I said I had not had an email. They said as the tour company told Viator they had sent it, I must have got it and nothing could be done. Basically calling me a liar. I called the next day and the disinterested and robotic staff member said the same thing. When I said I had no email he started reading from a script. I asked to speak to a supervisor, he said someone would call me. No one called. I had a further email saying as I had been informed 12 days before nothing could be done. Again the inference being I was lying. Before this I had a good experience with this company but would never book with them again due to the poor customer service, terrible staff attitude and lack of route to complain. I was not seeking a refund initially, merely giving feedback and was made to feel like I was trying it on. Plenty more companies out there to chose from.

It was ok
The guide was nice and travel was very comfortable Although we ended up being in a mall by the end of the tour which was less than ideal considering we were there to explore Gran Canaria The lunch was not great and I would recommend just eating somewhere else I think booking locally is cheaper by about £10

Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day cost?
+
Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gran Canaria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gran Canaria is not rushed.
Is Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gran Canaria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gran Canaria and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gran Canaria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gran Canaria?
+
On Outty we rank every Gran Canaria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch, Guided tour of the Banana World, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gran Canaria?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gran Canaria?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day?
+
Included: Professional Guide; Insurence; and Pick up/drop off in Southern Area (see pick-up details). Not included: Lunch and drinks; and Entrance to Banana Plantation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 268 listed pickup locations in and around Gran Canaria. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Full-day Tour: Gran Canaria in one day wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
