Day ticketSee Bus

Honest “from” prices. Bus tours and tickets are per person, the buggy is per buggy, the photoshoot is per session. Tickets and bus tours are paid in full when you book, the rest reserves with a small deposit.

Vilken är din?

Match your holiday in ten seconds. Same advice we give when you message us.

No rental car, want to see the island

Take a bus tour. The ö-tur does the coast on Saturdays, the highlights tour does the mountains on Wednesdays and Fridays. Both pick you up in the south for free.

You want Roque Nublo

The highlights tour stops at a Roque Nublo viewpoint in Tejeda, plus Guayadeque and Fataga. Prefer it after dark? The stjärnskådningstur goes up the same mountain at night.

Adrenaline, please

The Buggy safari if you want to drive, tandem paragliding if you want to fly. Both fit in a morning and leave the afternoon for the beach.

Kids in tow

Aqualand for a full day of slides, Poema del Mar for sharks without getting wet. Both have child prices and both are easy on a stroller.

A grey or windy day

Poema del Mar is indoor and open every day. The bus tours also run rain or shine, and the interior is often sunny when the coast is not.

Couples, proposals, anniversaries

The sunset photoshoot in the dunes. A local photographer, no stiff poses, photos you will actually print. Add paragliding for the story to go with them.

A few hours in Las Palmas, cruise day

The hop-on hop-off bus covers the capital without a taxi, and Poema del Mar sits right by the harbour. Both fit between docking and departure.

You would rather be on the water

Then this is not your page. Jet skis, parasailing and kayaks live on Vattensporter på Gran Canaria, catamarans and dolphins on Båtresor..

Dit du faktiskt åker

Gran Canaria is called a continent in miniature for a reason: dunes in the south, pine forest and 1,900 metre peaks in the middle, a real city in the north. These excursions cover all of it.

The green and ochre rock layers of Los Azulejos on the west coast of Gran Canaria
Los Azulejos, the rainbow rocks on the west coast road. A bus tour stop you cannot photograph from a sunbed.

Interiören

Tejeda, Roque Nublo & the caves

The heart of the island sits above the clouds: the Roque Nublo monolith, the white village of Tejeda, the cave houses of Guayadeque and the palm valley of Fataga. The highlights tour strings them together in one day, with a guide who explains what you are looking at.

The West Coast

Mogán to Agaete

The prettiest road on the island: Puerto de Mogán, the rainbow rocks of Los Azulejos, La Aldea de San Nicolás and the cliffs down to Agaete. Narrow, winding and spectacular, which is exactly why the ö-tur is the relaxed way to do it.

Maspalomas

Dunes, slides and the sky

The famous dunes host the sunset photoshoot, Aqualand is ten minutes up the road, and on a good wind day the skärmflygning flies right over both. Most southern hotels are within 15 minutes of all three.

Puerto Rico & The Barrancos

Buggy country

Behind the harbour of Puerto Rico the tarmac turns to dusty track and dry ravines. The Buggy safari leaves from the harbour at 10:00 in front of Grill Costa Mar and heads straight up into them. No pickup needed, everyone in the south is close.

Las Palmas

The capital and the cruise port

A real city with a 3 km beach. Poema del Mar sits in the harbour next to Las Canteras, and the hop-on hop-off bus loops the old town of Vegueta, Triana and the beach. From the southern resorts it is about 45 minutes by motorway.

Att stanna i södern

You are in the right place

Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Puerto Rico, Amadores, Mogán: both bus tours collect you here for free, the buggy and Aqualand are a short taxi, the dunes are on your doorstep. Staying in Las Palmas? The bus tours collect in the south only, so plan the drive down or message us first.

Snabbjämförelsen

All eight side by side. The pickup column saves you a taxi bill.

Families, Kids & The Honest Age Rules

Most excursions in Gran Canaria welcome children, but the rules differ per activity. Here is the real list, so nobody gets a surprise at the door.

Any age: both bussresor, den fotosession och hop-on hop-off bus. On the bus tours children 2 to 11 pay the child price and under 2 travel free on your lap.
The tickets: Poema del Mar is free under 3, child price 3 to 11. Aqualand has a toddler price for 3 to 4 and a child price for 5 to 10. Both are stroller friendly.
From age 8: tandem paragliding, roughly 8 to 80 and 40 to 120 kg. The pilot flies, the passenger enjoys. Teenagers come back speechless.
From age 12: riding along in the buggy, with an adult. Driving needs a car licence held for two years or more. Three or four in the 4-seater costs the same.

Pregnancy or serious back and heart problems: skip the buggy and the paragliding. The bus tours, the aquarium and the photoshoot are the easy ones for everybody.

Days, Season & When To Book

Gran Canaria excursions run all year, the weather rarely stops anything. What shapes your week is the timetable, so read this before you plan.

The bus tours have fixed days. Coast on Saturdays, mountains on Wednesdays and Fridays. Land on a Sunday for a week and you can do both. Land on a Monday for five nights and you might miss one, so check your dates first.
Mornings for the buggy and the flight. The buggy leaves at 10:00, and the wind is usually kindest to paragliding before lunch. The exact takeoff spot and time are confirmed the day before, that is normal, the wind decides.
Sunset moves. The photoshoot always starts about an hour before sunset, so around 19:30 in summer and closer to 17:00 in winter. Winter light in the dunes is the softest of the year.
Summer changes the parks. Aqualand stays open until 18:00 in July and August, and the bus tours fill a week ahead in high season. Book before you fly, not from the sunbed.

Gran Canaria Excursions, Frequently Asked Questions

The real questions our guests ask before they book. Still unsure? Message the Club Canary local team on WhatsApp, vi svarar snabbt fram till kl. 22.00.

Vilka är de bästa utflykterna på Gran Canaria?

Det beror på er grupp, men klassikerna är tydliga. Förstagångsbesökare utan bil tar en guidad busstur: örundturerna täcker västkusten och norr, höjdpunkiersturen täcker bergen och en utsiktsplats vid Roque Nublo. Spänningssökare tar buggysafarin från Puerto Rico eller en tandemflygning med skärmflyg över söder. Familjer delar upp sin vecka mellan Aqualand Maspalomas och akvariet Poema del Mar i Las Palmas, och par bokar solnedgångsfotograferingen i sanddynerna. Club Canary jämför dem alla på den här sidan, med ärliga anteckningar om vem som passar för vad.

Behöver jag en bil för att göra utflykter på Gran Canaria?

Nej. Båda de guidade bussturerna inkluderar gratis upphämtning från hotellen på de stora turistorterna i söder, så att du kan uppleva hela ön utan att hyra något. Buggysafarin har mötesplats i Puerto Ricos hamn, fotosessionen på ett café i Maspalomas, och utanför grinden till Aqualand stannar en offentlig buss. Poema del Mar och hop-on-hop-off-bussen ligger i Las Palmas, som du tar dig till på under en timme från söder med motorvägsbuss eller taxi. Club Canary anger mötesplats eller upphämtningsregler tydligt på varje produktsida.

Är en bussresa på Gran Canaria värd det?

Ja, särskilt vid ett första besök. Västkustvägen och bergsvägarna är smala, krokiga och spektakulära, vilket gör dem trötta att köra på och underbara att åka på. En luftkonditionerad buss, en officiell guide som förklarar det du ser, och stopp som du aldrig skulle hitta på egen hand: Los Azulejos, Guayadeque, Tejeda, Fataga. Du kommer hem och har sett mer av ön på en dag än de flesta besökare ser på en vecka. Boka med Club Canary så är upphämtningen från södern gratis.

Kan jag se Roque Nublo på en utflykt?

Ja. Höjdpunktsrundturen på Gran Canaria stannar vid en utsiktsplats för Roque Nublo nära Tejeda, öns mest kända klippa, på vägen genom inlandet. Det är ett stopp för utsikten, inte den fullständiga vandringen till monolitens fot, vilket passar de flesta grupper bättre under en lång dag. Om du vill uppleva klippen på natten åker stjärnskådningsrundturen Club Canary upp på samma berg efter mörkrets inbrott med teleskop.

Vad kan man göra på Gran Canaria med barn?

Gott om det. Aqualand Maspalomas är den stora vattenparken i söder, med vattenrutschbanor för tonåringar och en pirat-barnzon för de minsta. Poema del Mar i Las Palmas är ett inomhusakvarium med hajar och en jättelik djuptank, perfekt för en grå dag och gratis för de allra yngsta barnen. Båda bussturerna välkomnar alla åldrar med barnpriser, fotograferingen älskar familjer, och från åtta års ålder kan barn följa med på tandemskärmflygning. Club Canary anger de exakta åldersreglerna på den här sidan så att ingen råkar ut för några överraskningar vid dörren.

What excursions can I do in Gran Canaria without a licence or experience?

Almost all of them. The bus tours, the tickets, the photoshoot and the hop-on hop-off bus need nothing at all. Tandem paragliding needs no experience either, the certified pilot flies and you enjoy the view. The one exception is the buggy safari: to drive you need a car licence held for two years or more, though passengers from age twelve can simply ride along. Club Canary explains this before you book, not at the meeting point.

Which excursions in Gran Canaria are good for cruise passengers?

If your ship docks in Las Palmas for the day, stay in the capital. The hop-on hop-off bus loops the beach, the old town and the harbour without a taxi, and the Poema del Mar aquarium sits right by the port. Both fit comfortably between docking and departure. The full-day bus tours and the southern activities are too far for a typical cruise stop, and Club Canary will tell you so honestly if you ask.

Do the bus tours run every day?

No, and this matters for planning. Each tour runs on fixed days of the week: the coastal island tour on one day, the mountain highlights tour on two others. If you stay a full week you can do both. On a short stay, check your dates against the tour days before you book. The buggy safari also runs on selected days with a morning start, while the tickets, the photoshoot and the paragliding run daily, weather permitting.

Are excursions in Gran Canaria safe?

Yes, when you go with licensed local operators. Every excursion Club Canary lists is run by a registered company with insurance and a guide or instructor with you. The buggy safari is a guided convoy, not a free roam, the paragliding pilots are certified and choose the takeoff by the wind, and the bus tours use official guides on air-conditioned coaches. If conditions are not safe, the operator postpones and you reschedule or receive a refund.

What should I wear and bring on a Gran Canaria excursion?

For the mountain tour, a warm layer: the interior sits far above the coast and is often ten degrees cooler, even in summer. For the buggy, closed shoes, sunglasses and your driving licence. For the parks, swimwear, a towel and your e-ticket on your phone. Sunscreen and a hat for everything outdoors. Lunch is not included on the bus tours, the guide stops at a good local restaurant, so bring cash or a card for the day.

Vad händer om vädret är dåligt på dagen?

The bus tours and the aquarium run rain or shine, and the interior is often sunny when the coast is cloudy. Paragliding is the one that depends fully on the wind: the pilot confirms the time and takeoff spot the day before and moves the flight if it is not safe. The buggy and the photoshoot go ahead in light rain and postpone only in real weather. In every case you reschedule or receive a refund, and with Club Canary you only ever risk a small deposit on the deposit-based activities.

Can I combine two excursions in one day?

Yes, if you pair a half-day with an evening. The buggy safari finishes around lunchtime, paragliding takes a morning, and the sunset photoshoot only starts an hour before sunset, so buggy plus photoshoot or paragliding plus photoshoot works well. The bus tours and Aqualand are full days on their own. Message the Club Canary team with your dates and we plan the combination that fits.

Why book Gran Canaria excursions with Club Canary?

Because you get a real Canary Islands team, not a call centre. Club Canary checks every operator before listing them, tells you honestly which excursion suits your group and which does not, and puts the age rules and pickup details up front. Tickets and bus tours are confirmed fast, activities reserve with a small deposit, the Best Price Guarantee applies, and the local team answers on WhatsApp every day from 08:00 to 22:00. Rated 4.8 from over 1,375 verified reviews, and 4.9 on Google from over 1,000 reviews.

Club Canarys Ärliga Åsikt

Most people see five percent of Gran Canaria: their resort and the beach. One bus tour changes that in a day, and the interior will surprise you more than any photo suggests. Do the coast on Saturday, the mountains midweek, and you have seen more of the island than most people who live here.

Drivers take the buggy. Dreamers take the flight. Couples take the photoshoot and thank us later. Families split the week between Aqualand and the aquarium. We tell you honestly which day is worth it and which one is not, because we live here and we want you back next year.

Pick your day out above, or send us one message and we plan the week with you.
