Here's what they have to say
Journey to the heart of Gran Canaria's volcano with lunch
Spectacular scenery and the included lunch was a very pleasant surprise, quite good traditional Canarian food. A full day but it was well worth it.
Hop-on hop-off bus Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Really handy for getting our bearings on the first day without needing a car or public transport. The audio guide in several languages was a nice touch.
Dolphin-watching boat trip in Mogán
We saw dolphins just a few minutes after setting off, which we didn't expect so soon. The crew were very attentive with the kids throughout the trip.

Whether you live on the island or fancy a getaway, Gran Canaria always has something new to offer. Known as a "miniature continent", it packs desert-like dunes, volcanic ravines, tropical forest and crystal-clear waters into a relatively small area.
Even if you already know them by sight, these key spots on the island are always worth another visit. From the volcanic symbol of Roque Nublo to the historic centre of Vegueta, these are places that never lose their appeal, whether you're showing them to a visitor or rediscovering them yourself.
Roque Nublo is, along with Mount Teide, one of the most recognisable natural symbols of the Canary Islands: a volcanic formation over 80 metres tall, sitting right in the centre of the island at almost 1,800 metres above sea level.
You can reach it on foot from the nearby car park via a low-to-moderate difficulty route, suitable for most visitors with proper footwear. The views from the base of the rock, with Mount Teide visible in the distance on clear days, are among the most photographed in the whole archipelago.
The Maspalomas Dunes, one of Gran Canaria's most iconic landscapes, form a protected natural area of golden sand that evokes the African desert just a few metres from the Atlantic Ocean.
Walking among the dunes at sunset, when the golden light highlights the shapes of the terrain, is one of the simplest and most beautiful plans in the south of the island, with the Maspalomas lighthouse as a backdrop.
The historic centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, split between the Vegueta and Triana districts, retains colonial architecture, tree-lined squares and Santa Ana Cathedral, with more than five centuries of history.
It's a perfect walk to pair with a visit to nearby museums such as the Casa de Colón, or simply to wander through cobbled streets and charming terraces, away from the more beach-focused vibe of the island's south.
Nicknamed "Little Venice" for its canals, bridges and whitewashed houses covered in bougainvillea, Puerto de Mogán is one of the most picturesque spots in the island's southwest.
Strolling through its marina, grabbing a drink on one of its seafront terraces, or checking out its weekly Friday market are simple plans that pair perfectly with the dolphin-watching boat trip that departs from the same harbour.
The Red Canyon, with its rock formations in ochre and reddish tones, is one of the most surprising landscapes in the island's interior, often compared to scenery from the southwestern United States.
Taking your time to explore the area, stopping at the best viewpoints for photos, is a perfect plan for anyone looking for nature and unconventional scenery in Gran Canaria.
Few expect to find an actual tropical forest in Gran Canaria, but the Los Cernícalos ravine and similar areas inland offer a humid microclimate with lush vegetation that's very little known to visitors.
The walking route lets you discover waterfalls, natural pools and surprising biodiversity for an island usually associated with beaches and dunes — ideal for anyone who already knows the island and wants something truly different.
Poema del Mar is one of the largest aquariums in Europe, with species from the world's main oceans housed in spectacular themed tanks, including a large open shark tank.
It's a perfect activity for the hottest days or for families with kids looking for something both educational and entertaining, highly sought after year-round by tourists and locals alike.
Venture into the interior of an ancient volcano right in the centre of the island, a landscape that combines lava flows, craters and spectacular viewpoints over inland Gran Canaria.
The excursion usually includes a traditional Canarian lunch halfway through, perfect for recharging before continuing the route — one of the favourite activities for discovering the island's volcanic interior without giving up good food.
Funbooker hand-picks experiences for people who already know the island and want something different for the weekend, or simply want to surprise a visitor. Ideas for rediscovering Gran Canaria from another angle.
For adventure lovers, the via ferrata in the south of the island offers a vertical route between cliffs with impressive views over the Atlantic Ocean, secured at all times with a lifeline cable.
No prior climbing experience is needed, just good physical fitness and the will to push yourself — one of the most intense activities available on the island for anyone after a real adrenaline rush.
The waters surrounding Gran Canaria are home to a notable population of resident dolphins, visible for much of the year on boat trips from the island's south coast.
The crew know the sighting areas well and respect a safe distance from the animals — one of the favourite activities to do as a family, the excitement is guaranteed!
From the picturesque harbour of Mogán, this boat trip sails along the southwest coast in search of dolphins, combining marine wildlife spotting with a scenic ride past some of the island's most beautiful cliffs.
It's a perfect alternative for those staying in the western area who'd rather not travel all the way south, with the added calm of a much less crowded harbour than other spots on the island.
Cross the Maspalomas Dunes on the back of a camel in a ride that evokes the African desert just a few metres from the Atlantic Ocean — one of the most sought-after postcards among the island's visitors.
It's an activity suitable for all ages, an unmissable classic for anyone visiting southern Gran Canaria for the first time.
Discover Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at your own pace with the classic tourist bus, hopping on and off freely at the capital's most interesting stops throughout the day.
It's the most convenient way to organise a first visit to the city without any logistical hassle, with a flexible ticket and an audio guide included in several languages.
