MiniVan Tour Gran Canaria
Thanks to its volcanic origin, Gran Canaria is a true paradise for incredible views, landscapes, typical villages and local culture, making it an excellent destination for day trips. What's better than a minivan with a professional driver and guide who speaks several languages, such as english, german, spanish, french, dutch, italian, polish and swedish?
Touring in a minivan drastically decreases the dead time you will face on a day trip by bus. At each stop, 50-60 people must go out and return to the bus each time. This is the right excursion if you want a more flexible and tailor-made day trip.

Let customers speak for us
Lovely day trip, we went high up the mountains with some breath taking views and a trip to the aloe Vera farm and a nice buffet restaurant
Really enjoyed dolphin watch. We saw a lovely pod play in the water. The boat followed them for a while and they are a wonder to see. Two hour trip was a nice duration out on the sea. Guide was very informative and friendly. Great trip.
Hice el tour en 4x4. Ha sido un recorrido muy bonito por las formaciones volcánicas y zonas boscosas. El conductor/ guía Luis, maravilloso. Es un tour panorámico con varias paradas, incluido algún pueblo. Me ha gustado mucho.
Fantastic yacht charter was arranged for my wife and I by a very helpful and informative Cristiano in the excursion office. Big thanks also to our extremely good Captain - Jose, the Cuban. Will definitely book other excursions there, such as tours and a yacht again. Thank you very much!
Giornata splendida,mancava un po di sole ma per il resto niente da dire! Domingo animatore meraviglioso,buon cibo..tanta sangria e divertimento (compreso il banana boat) Siamo riuscite a vedere anche i delfini. Un Grazie anche a cristiano per l'organizzazione! Da rifare sicuramente
L’accompagnateur José était excellent, cela paraissait qu’il connaissait son île. Tous les explications étaient pertinentes et très ont.ressantes . Le seul bémol c’est le choix du restaurant, c’est pas tout le monde qui aime les tapas espagnols, dans notre groupe de huit, nous sommes les deux seules personnes qui sommes resté au restaurant, je recommanderais ce tour sans hésitation à tout le monde.
What a great time we had on this trip! We were picked up from our hotel & taken to a car park where we had a group photo. We were under no obligation to purchase the picture. Juan, our driver, was very outgoing & informative. We drove from the south of the island, up through the centre & up to the north. The views are breathtaking, as well as the towns' & villages & caves you stop at. The roads are twisting, undulating & narrow. We had several stops for photo opportunities & for food & refreshments. Juan gave us clear instructions as to how long we could have. The way the island changes is incredible. There were 8 passengers in our group, so it was just the right size.
Everything was very good and nice.Everyone had their own sunbed, didnt need to sit somewhere. Activities and swimming was good. Crew was nice. Our best day in Gran Canaria
Cette sortie en catamaran était excellente, l'équipage au top. Les boissons et nourritures vraiment à volonté. Je recommande fortement cette activité très bien qualité prix.
A great trip around Gran Canaria with several stops including a fishing village in the least populated east, the mountainous interior, and a banana plantation in the north, and finishing at the sea front of the capital Las Palmas. An excellent way to explore the island.
We booked the Catamaran for my friend’s birthday and it was a pleasant experience from start to finish. The crew even greeted my friend with gifts of wine and chocolate which truly showed that they went the extra mile to make it extra special. The food was lovely and the drinks also fantastic. We had rain on the trip back and the Captain couldn’t apologise enough even though there was nothing he could do about it. Highly recommended to anyone and would definitely book again.
Lovely experience with the jetski safari! Would absolutely recommend.
We had a nice tour with a good day with dolphins. Had fun at the banana. Good food, cold drinks, nice staff! Highly recommended.
Fue muy bien y tuvimos una experiencia expectacular. Si volvemos a gran canaria, lo haria 100%
Everything went as I hoped for and captain of the boat was super nice and gave us our alone time too! Overall 10/10 experience
F.A.Q.
What is the best month to go to Gran Canaria?
Gran Canaria is known as the island of the eternal spring because of the fantastic climate throughout the year. The best time to visit Gran Canaria relates to personal preferences and the activities and excursions you want.
According to our experience, we formulate these 2 main guidelines:
- Suppose you like outdoor activities, exploring local cultural places and incredible landscapes and interacting with nature. In that case, the best period is October-November up to April-May.
- For ocean and sun-lovers, the period from April until October is ideal for enjoying beaches, boat trips and water sports.
How many days are enough for Gran Canaria?
The correct answer doesn't exist, as the question above all depends on the style of visit/holiday you prefer, excursions, activities, and experiences you want to do, and finally, the budget.
Essential visit (3-4 days): if you want to do a touch-and-go holiday. In this case, you have enough time to do the main activities without going "deeply": have a tour of Las Palmas, The Roque Nublo, in the mountain region and don't miss a visit to the dunes of Maspalomas.
Classical Holiday (a week min.): You have enough time to explore the island's main attractions and spend a few days on the beaches.
According to your preferences, you can have a full-day tour by bus or minivan to visit the mountain region and local villages. If you are more adrenaline-oriented, add a tour to Las Palmas or the Jeep Safari. Don't miss a dolphin and whale-watching trip or a catamaran tour.
Add a visit to the dunes of Maspalomas, and if it's not included in any of the tours you do, also pay a visit to the Village of Puerto de Mogan.
Relax Holidays (10 days or more): this is the the ideal formula for those who want to combine tourism and time on the beach. You have enough time to add some extra experience to the ones mentioned above, such as a big island tour or, if you love the ocean and adrenaline, an incredible jet ski safari that will allow you to explore the island from the coast while having amazing feelings driving your jet ski.
Look at our festival and local events calendar, and if some of them happen during your holidays, take advantage of them.
Can you island hop from Gran Canaria?
Yes, absolutely. Of course, you need time, and if you are on a relaxing holiday trip (10 days or more), you can consider a day trip to Tenerife, Lanzarote, or Fuerteventura, which you can easily reach by ferry. The two principal vectors are Fred Olsen and Armas.
You can also reach the other islands by flight. In this case, you can add the remaining islands to your options: La Palma, El Hierro, and La Gomera.
Tips For Un Unforgettable Experience
- If you go on a tour in the mountain region, put a wind jacket or a hoodie on your backpack: the temperature in the heights of Gran Canaria is generally 4-5 degrees less than the coast.
- Puerto de Mogan Village hosts one of the most famous markets of Gran Canaria on Fridays: it's worth a visit. If you have a dolphin and whale boat trip on the program, you can kill two birds with one stone by choosing a dolphin boat trip combined with the Mogan market tour.
- If you like eno gastronomical trips and want to taste some local flavours, don't miss a Premium Tour by bus, which includes the banana museum, rum distillery, coffee plantation, wine tasting tour (all with degustation) and the mojo canario work shop (typical Canarian sauce)
