★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,120 reviews · 7 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $119Our pick

Spend a full day exploring Gran Canaria’s volcanic interior with guides such as Víctor, Daylos, Celeste, and Angélica. You’ll visit Bandama, Cruz de Tejeda, Roque Nublo, and Pico de Las Nieves, with local tastings, a Canarian-French lunch, guide-taken photos, and honey rum at sunset. The Roque Nublo walk is moderately challenging.

“A fantastic day out going into the interior of the island and learning about its history and geography with jaw dropping scenery and views of the volcanoes and scenery The lunch and wine were great and our hike just about right being not too strenuous but more than a stroll The day culminated with a view of a wonderful sunset from the island’s highest point”
