What to do and see in Maspalomas, Canary Islands: The Best Cultural Tours

February 2, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

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.

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.

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 amazing route goes through the undiscovered part of Gran Canaria. A trip unlike any other. We will take you to places that are not mentioned in the guides. We will show how much truth is in the saying that Gran Canaria is a miniature continent. Our route goes today through Aguimes - former capital of sugar cane region and Tobas De Colores Del Barranco De Las Vacas - amazing monument shaped by power of nature. Our guide will walk you to the edge of Caldera de los Marteles - former volcanic crater and later will drive you to the highest peak - Pico de las Nieves. By the end of the day, we will climb Roque Nublo together to admire the sunset. You will feel the power of this place full of legends and Guanche stories.
