10 Sightseeing Tours in Maspalomas That You Shouldn't Miss

December 17, 2021 Randal Brittian

Maspalomas is a sophisticated beach resort… that happens to have a great waterpark. Aqualand Maspalomas is the Canary Islands' largest waterpark, with 33 waterslides. If that's not your style, just relax on a beach with powder-soft sand and majestic dunes, or enjoy abundant shopping and golf.

It was a great experience working with Aljosa. Although it was our first time doing a pre-wedding photoshoot and we were nervous, Aljosa made us feel at ease and gave us directions on how to pose. He also had a clear idea of what sights and locations would make for beautiful photos. Needless to say, we loved our photos and would highly recommend Aljosa to take yours! :)

If you are looking for a more personal and higher quality experience than the large bus commercial tours, the team at Sky Rebels is it. They were fun, friendly and knew the local history of Gran Canaria. Throughout my day trip with them, they answered any question I had and clearly enjoyed showing me their island and culture. The picnic lunch used all local ingredients and was very tasty. They paced the hike up to Roque Nublo very well, with each stop being a perfect chance to point out more history, geology or just an awesome view. Really enjoyable day.

Highly recommend this tour!!! The electric bikes were great fun,super speedy but also easy to get the hang of. Lorenzo was an excellent guide. Really knew the history of the area and took us along a mainly coastal footpath route mostly avoiding traffic. The highlights were a sunset cafe where we stopped for a drink/ice cream and the grand dunes- Lorenzo kindly extended the tour so we could enjoy the magnificent sunset over the dunes-which was simply breathaking. An excellent tour and excellent guide- highly recommend!

Simon has a great personality. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all matters concerning Gran Canaria. We went to a coffee place, explored the mountains and ended up eating some fantastic sea food in Agaete. We had such a warm time with Simon I now regard his as a friend. Ours was a private tour of friends. Simon put together a tour to suit all of us from a 7 year old to a 64 year old (me). Look no further than Simon tours for an authentic Gran Canaria experience. PS great value too

This is such a wonderful tour run by Juanjo and Ines (& Lopita) and we recommend it 100%! We arranged to be collected from our hotel in San Agustin at 9am - a spacious and comfortable van with air conditioning. Seats are arranged in two rows of 3. En route, we were given an enthusiastic talk about the history and archeology of Gran Canaria - so much detail and love for this gorgeous island. We were treated to great music, informative videos and stories of legends! We were back around 6pm. The roads are incredible - hairpin bends winding up steep mountains rewarding us with stunning views of ancient volcanoes, rock formations and scenery which could be dry and relatively barren to forested and farmed, (depending on whether we were North or South). Well done, Juanjo for your skilful driving, not made any easier by the numbers of cyclists you had to negotiate too! We stopped at little museums overlooking breathtaking valleys, cave houses, viewpoints and then there was a small feast ALL made by Ines - absolutely delicious Canarian treats, washed down with a choice of water, soft drinks, beer or wine and something special from the Magic Backpack! After lunch and more beautiful sites, we had a coffee stop then to the amazing fortress and ancient caves with remnants of carvings and symbols. Spectacular views. This was the final point on our journey where the Magic Backpack rewarded us with one more treat to end a superb day. Thank you for a brilliant day! If you want an intimate tour of GC run by a couple who ooze love and passion for this incredible island, then BOOK THIS TOUR!

I had the chance to explore beautiful, untouched hidden places in Gran Canaria (far from any tourism, which you would’ve never found on your own) with the nice native Canarian photographer “Tomás Correa”, who was extremely generous with his time and tipps on this one-on-one photography workshop.
