    Awesome

    Great experience! Good pace, good value for price. The trip took around 6 hours. The bus was full. Calm atmosphere with no rush, the guide Simon was great! Best for everyone of all ages.

    A really enjoyable day out!

    A great little tour. We had visited the island before and we wanted something interesting and easy for a day out. The joining instructions were great and the coach was cool and comfortable. All good but we particularly loved the gardens and the old town. The team were wonderful.

    Las palmas tour with my family

    It’s a nice excursion to the botanical garden but it’s kind of boring. Our tour guide was very nice but I find it that the people are not engaging or we we lose interest on what ever she was saying maybe because there were three languages that she has to switch .

    Honest opinion

    It is a good tour, good value for money if you want a taster of Gran Canaria. The only thing I will also say is that the jardin botanical gardens could be longer than 45mins as it is a huge garden.

    Visit to the Bandama Crater, Botanical Garden and Las Palmas

    Great communication with the tour operator and the tour was effective and organized. It is for those that want to visit the botanical garden, bandama crater and las Palmas/Vagueta. It was great to see the crater and botanical garden. The free time in Vagueta was abit short to visit a museum, but we went around the town and took a coffee. For free time we went to see Playa de las canteras and Las Arenas shopping mall others went for the Acuario Poema del mar.

    Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.

    How much does Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 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 Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria 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 Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 32 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 Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria?

    +

    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 Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria 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 Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria?

    +

    Around 11 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 Las Palmas, Botanical Garden & Bandama Crater tour - Gran Canaria 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.
