We hadden liever nog wat langer de tijd gehad bij de botanische tuin, maar het is ook begrijpelijk waarom de planning zo loopt. Je krijgt namelijk veel te zien bij deze tour.”

Excellent range of activities eg walk to roque Nublo, picnic in woods, viewpoints, and well paced. Even our 17 year old son (hard to please) had a great day. Thanks to Ines and Juanco for a fabulous day out.”

5.Private Bandama Caldera Volcano, Botanic Garden & Old Town

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 53 reviews · 3 hours · from $124

You’ll visit Bandama Mountain, its vast volcanic caldera, the Canary Garden, and Las Palmas Old Town with a private guide. Artemis has led recent tours, sharing local history, food, plants, and island life. Choose the garden or add a wine tasting for €18 per person.

“Artemis was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and funny. We opted for pick up at cruise port and he told us a meet spot and then met us there personally. We didn't have any problems with communication at all. He was also very willing to adapt the tour to us. We enjoyed seeing the botanical garden and the caldera. I wish that we could have had more time in the Old City and the markets. However, I think if I had asked beforehand that he would have been glad to accommodate us. I would highly recommend taking this tour!”

7.Gran Canaria Premium Tour: Volcanoes and Wine for cruisers

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 5 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $270

Guide Israel takes you from the cruise terminal into Gran Canaria’s volcanic interior. Visit Bandama and Marteles calderas, Pico de las Nieves, Santa Brígida, and Bodega San Juan, with wine, cheese, drinks, and a private air-conditioned vehicle.

“If you would like to experience more of Gran Canaria than Las Palmas, this is the tour for you. We visited volcanoes, calderas, scenic villages, a small but beautiful church, a more than hundred year old winery for wine tasting and its display of decades old wine manufacturing tools and methods, and scenic view from the highest peak in Gran Canaria. Highly recommended.”
