The tour included all the important sights , with lots of recommendations for extra visits and museums to see. We finished with a tapas and drink at a local bar, sampling local foods- totally off the tourist track. We visited places that we would never have found on our own. It was a great few hours.”

7.e-Bike Mountain Tour inside a Natural Park+option Tapas in a Cave

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $95

Ride from Maspalomas through the dunes, South Park, and the Ayagaures valley with guide Lorenzo. This three-hour e-bike tour covers town streets, mountain roads, a dam, and a pre-Hispanic cave bar. A tropical soft drink is included, while Canarian tapas cost €15 per person.

“Fun, spectacular and very informative. Prepare for an ebike trek in the town & up the canyon, though since it is electric, it's an easy ride, passing thru 1-2 plantations, cave cafe and local villages. The landscape is breathtaking. You'll need to be alert, to navigate the traffic and then the narrow road across the canyon, and my gods it's worth it! Didn't do this in a car, it's much more vibrant on a bike. The guide is versed in managing a large group and is super knowledgeable in everything related to the island and he loves what he does.”

8.Camel Ride in Fataga with Tapas and drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 22 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $57

“From the initial booking through to organising our travel back to our hotel, everything about our experience went smoothly and we had a fantastic camel ride. This was a huge a relief for myself and my family after we had an awful and very disappointing experience with trying to book a camel ride with another Camel Safari operator at the sand dunes in Maspolamas in which we were turned away from their park after queuing at the entrance for over because we did not have tickets and then later failing to receive tickets we had attempted to book with them online. The host and staff at Camel Safari La barrenda…”

9.Spanish Tapas and Wine Tasting Tour in Mogan

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 18 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $69

Meet at Restaurante Valle de Mogán for a 2.5-hour tasting led by a professional sommelier and the restaurant’s chef. Explore the restored farmhouse and cactus garden, then try local tapas, Spanish wines, and Gran Canaria’s first locally made vermouth. Free parking and English, Spanish, and Russian guiding are available.

“I absolutely loved the Tapas and Wine Tour in Mogán! The entire experience took about 2,5 hours and was perfectly paced. It started with a wonderful mini-excursion where we explored a 200-year-old Canarian farmhouse and a beautiful cactus garden. The food was incredible—there were so many delicious tapas to try. We enjoyed a great selection of white and red wines, but the highlight was definitely the vermouth. They serve Vermut Lolito, which is the very first vermouth produced in Gran Canaria and is made right there at the Valle de Mogán restaurant. Being able to taste such a unique, local product makes this a truly exclusive experience. I highly recommend…”
