Very good experience! Pickup at hotell. Nice walk in the rainforest. Very good good at a local farm and a tour of it aswell. Worth the price.
Whe had a really good experience with Victor! He was really nice and funny. The hike was amazing and the farm visit was super nice. We highly recommend!
The tour started off in a lovely town with lots of information about Gran Canaria's history. Then we went on a hike through a rainforest in a valley with lovely views. We ate lunch in a beautiful agricultural farm, learnt about different plants and animals and finished off the day in volcanic pools. Being picked up and dropped off at our hotel and free time throughout the day was a big plus too! Celeste was our tour guide and if you're lucky she will be yours too - she has heaps of information, happy to answer any questions and is very welcoming, caring and friendly throughout. 10/10 recommend, a gorgeous day out.

Nice day trip where you experience a completely different side of Gran Canaria absolutely fantastic and lovely guide as was Victor, who happily shared all his knowledge of history from the islands.
I loved this excursion! The guide, Víctor, has been wonderful and he explained everything brilliantly. The visit to the organic farm seemed very interesting to me and the food was delicious! I would recommend it to everyone!
