25 reviewed
The middle of the island climbs into pine forest, old calderas and that great basalt monolith. Below are the mountain walks and Roque Nublo tours that get you up there: how long each hike runs, how hard it climbs, whether transport from the coast is included, and which suit families over serious walkers.

“Beautiful hike. We walked for about 4 hours on fairly easy and not very demanding trails. Maciej is an expert, very passionate and completely reliable guide. He kept a light pace suitable for everyone and explained many things about the landscape and the history of the place. He was constantly making sure that everyone was fine and payed lot of attention to our safety. Beautiful landscapes and views. The lunch together was an additional opportunity to socialize with the group and relax together. Not to be missed”

“Our guide Vanessa was knowledgeable and professional.

She gave us enough time to walk around each place and appreciate the culture e.g the town of Teror. I would definitely recommend Vanessa and Viator for anyone who wants to visit Gran Canaria.”

“This was my first experience of canyoning but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience with Pablo - he was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the island. I could tell he was very experienced and he has just set up his own business. The route and scenery were so beautiful and safety was his number one concern - he let me build my confidence and do the skills with increasing independence as the trip went on. He took excellent photos during the trip and also discussed his commitment to decreasing waste during his tours. Sent me an exact location to meet at - very easy.…”
