Fantastic Trip!
The aquarium was fantastic and worth the visit. The marine tank was the highlight for us, so many different fish, I could watch the tank all day. We had an amazing host, Andre who was friendly and very knowledgeable about the island. Andre finished the trip by taking us to a little patisserie which had some delicious cakes and the coffee was good too. Would definitely recommend the tour.

Amazing tours and friendly staff
We booked 2 tours (Dolphin and Aquarium) with them through Jose at our hotel. Great guy and super friendly. Both tours were great. Staff was super friendly. For the Dolphin tour we had Mario as our guide and for the Aquarium we had Andre. Both of them were super friendly and created an amazing atmosphere. They had a bit of car trouble and had to re-schedule the Aquarium tour for later that same day, but they communicated that to us well on time and picked us up as scheduled so no issues at all. I would highly recommend them!

Cancelled 10 Minutes Before Pick-Up
Ten minutes before our scheduled pick-up time, the guide sent a WhatsApp message cancelling the tour, citing car trouble. These things can happen, and initially I accepted that. The guide said he would try to find another slot, but as we only had two days of our holiday remaining, he later told us they were fully booked and couldn't accommodate us. I then contacted customer support at Get Your Guide (as I booked through them) to arrange a refund, which appears to be in progress. While speaking with them, I asked whether they could find an alternative tour to Poema del Mar for the following day, as I'd been told there was no availability. To my surprise, customer support simply sent me a link to the very same tour I'd originally booked—and it showed availability for the next day. That left me questioning what had really happened. I can't say for certain why the tour was cancelled, but it's difficult not to wonder whether the cancellation was due to low numbers rather than the stated vehicle problem (the tour is in an 8 seater and there are 4 of us). If that's the case, I would have much preferred an honest explanation rather than a last-minute cancellation only ten minutes before collection. Regardless of the reason, cancelling so close to the pick-up time disrupted our day, meant we lost our plans, and left us scrambling to find an alternative during the final days of our holiday. Very disappointing.

Great for families
Great service, Andre picked us up from outside our hotel and was super knowledgeable of the area and great fun. The aquarium was 10/10 we would recommend Get your Guide and the aquarium it’s brilliant for families (Andre even organised a child seat without us asking)
Response from the operator: Dear Caroline, love to hear that you liked the excursion and hope to see you soon again ! Greetings, TheBigBlueTeam

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier cost?
+
Prices start at $77 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 Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 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 Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier?
+
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 Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gran Canaria Tour to the Poem of the Sea and Las Palmas Pier 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.
