What to expect?

During our guided tour of 7 hours, you will discover three treasures of Gran Canaria, two protected natural areas of great environmental value, the elegant Puerto de Mogán, and the landscapes of the southern part of the island.

Our guides are specialized professionals trained specifically to interact with the clients and customize the development of the tour, making each outing a unique and different experience. That’s why the groups are for a maximum of 18 people.

ITINERARY:

Our first stop is a magical place: the Guayadeque Valley which means “a place where the water runs”, a stream meanders along the valley and it’s the only constant water flowing during the whole year on the island. The area was declared a Natural Monument and protected of any new building development, except the existing ones such as the area of ​​Los Marteles, a cave-dwelling town among which we will visit a chapel and an exotic restaurant, all the village was dug into the ravine’s rock, absolutely amazing!

Next, Puerto Mogán, is an old fishing village that has become one of the most elegant and suggestive tourist locations on the southern island side, where traditional fishing boats are mixed with yachts and sightseeing boats. The spot offers us as well, a beach of fine white sand and a pedestrian area built over small water channels, increasing the charm of the fishing district where gardens, shops, and restaurants follow one another.

In Puerto Mogán we will have an hour of free time to have lunch (not included in the price), take a swim or a walk through its streets.

Finally, the exceptional Special Protected Natural Reserve of the Dunes of Maspalomas, 400 hectares including an excellent beach, a great alive dunes system, a palm trees oasis, and a brackish lagoon, an important stopover for migratory birds.

We will guide you to the Lighthouse and La Charca to explain and learn about this ecosystem, then you will have free time to have fun on the dunes and to take a swim at the amazing beach.

A customized, exclusive and enjoyable excursion to discover the southern part of the island and to learn about these three highlights locations of Gran Canaria.
