The Hop On Hop Off Bus In Gran Canaria, See Las Palmas Your Way
One ticket, the whole city, at your own pace. Ride the open-top double-decker around Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, hop off at the old town, the beach or the museums, and hop back on when you are ready. Audio in 8 languages, 11 stops, and a route that links the big sights without a single taxi.
The full guide below is written by us, not copied, including an honest look at which of the three tickets is worth it. Keep reading, we tell you everything.
Why Take The Hop On Hop Off Bus
Las Palmas is bigger than it looks, and the best sights are spread out: the old town of Vegueta on one side, the port and the beach on the other, museums and viewpoints in between. The hop on hop off bus in Gran Canaria links them on one loop. You ride on the open top deck, listen to the commentary in your own language, and get off wherever you like. No car, no parking, no taxis.
Book online in a minute and get instant confirmation. Your ticket is valid for a full year, so you can pick your day once you are on the island. Real local support on WhatsApp any day.

Simple, and there is no hotel pickup to wait for. You go to the nearest of the 11 stops, show your voucher and hop on. Ride as far as you like, get off at any stop to explore, then get back on the next bus when you are ready. One ticket, all day, as many stops as you want.
What You'll See Along The Route
The loop runs about 75 minutes end to end, with 11 stops, and a bus comes by roughly every 35 minutes. Get off at any of these, take your time, and take the next bus when you are ready.

Our Honest Tip, Come With A Loose Plan
Honestly: this is not a guided tour with a fixed plan. It is a flexible pass, and that is exactly why we like it. The value is the freedom to build your own day. It works best when you arrive with a rough idea of two or three places you really want to see, then use the bus to reach them without rushing.
Our advice: pick two or three stops that matter to you, get off, and take your time. Do not try to visit all 11 stops in one day, or you will spend it riding the bus instead of enjoying the city. Fewer stops and more time at each one is the best way to do it.
First Time In Gran Canaria? Start Here
If it is your first visit and you want our shortlist, these are the stops we would get off for:
Vegueta, the old town. The Cathedral, Casa de Colón and the cobbled streets. This is the heart of the city and our number one. Give it a couple of hours.
Parque Santa Catalina and Las Canteras beach. The lively main square, the cafes and one of the best city beaches in Spain. Great for a walk, a swim or a coffee.
The port and Wilson Quay. Take the boat tour here if your ticket includes it, and see the city from the water.
One museum, if you like museums. The Elder Museum for science and fun with kids, or Museo Canario for the island's history. Skip both if you are not interested in museums.
Everyone travels differently, so treat this as a starting point, not a rulebook. If you tell us what you are into, our local team will point you to the stops worth your time and the ones you can skip.
The Boat Tour, On Two Of The Tickets
The City & Boat Pass and Complete Pass add a boat tour along the coast. It runs daily at 11:00 and 16:00, lasts about 1 hour 15 minutes, and leaves from Wilson Quay next to bus stop 9. On board you get a welcome drink and 2 for 1 tapas at the bar. Audio on the boat is in English, Spanish and German. It depends on the weather, so keep your day flexible in case the sea is too rough.
Which Ticket Is Actually Worth It
Here is our honest advice. City Pass (Iconic) is the one if you just want the bus, the old town and a relaxed day. City & Boat Pass (Essential) is the best choice for most people: the same day, plus the boat tour and the Elder Museum for ten euro more. Complete Pass (Value) is only worth it if you are staying two days and really want the museums, the Cathedral and Casa de Colón. If you are unsure, message us and we will help you choose the right one for your trip.
Great For, And Skip This If
Great for first-time visitors, families, cruise guests with a day in port, and anyone who wants to see the city without renting a car. Children aged 0 to 4 ride free, so it is easy with little ones. Skip it if you only want the beach, or if you are staying far outside Las Palmas, since the loop is city only.
Perfect For A Day Off The Cruise Ship
Las Palmas is a big cruise port, and this is one of the easiest ways to fill a day in town. The route links the old town, the museums, the port and the beach, and you set the pace. Back on board with time to spare, and no transport to organise.
Where Should You Book?
You can book directly, or through a big global platform, but you get less help when plans change. With Club Canary you get a real local team on WhatsApp, instant confirmation, and a ticket that stays valid for a year, so a rainy morning never wastes your money.
Best Price Guarantee: we check the direct prices, so booking with us is never more expensive. Book online in a minute with instant confirmation, and real people answer on WhatsApp every day from 08:00 to 22:00. Prices shown include taxes and fees.
