Full-day Gran Canaria tour with Teror, Tejeda and typical lunch
Villages, viewpoints and volcanic rocks dot Gran Canaria's jagged spine. This tour weaves its way through some of the island's most dramatic landscapes, stopping along the way to visit gems such as Teror, Tejeda and Fataga. David, one of our local guides, says, ‘The legend of the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Teror still intrigues me. It was in 1481, amid the Castilian conquest of Gran Canaria, and it helped change the island's destiny.'After a visit to an aloe vera plantation to get the lowdown on its medicinal properties, you'll head into the Valley of a Thousand Palms for a wander around the cozy village of Fataga, all cobbled lanes, palm-fringed views and traditional Canarian architecture. There's a photo stop at Las Tirajanas viewpoint to admire a vast volcanic caldera, followed by a scenic mountain drive to Tejeda, which is a bit of a looker too – red-roofed, whitewashed houses sprinkled on the slope of a valley. David adds, ‘Every time there's a list of Spain's prettiest villages, Tejeda is near the top. Its setting is unbeatable.' Next up is a local lunch in a family-owned restaurant, before you continue to Teror, the last stop on your adventure. Strolling past the balconied townhouses of Calle Real de la Plaza towards the mountain-framed basilica of Our Lady of the Pine is one of the defining Gran Canaria experiences.

Private Gran Canaria tour with cave lunch and wine-tasting
Gran Canaria is known as a miniature continent. And as soon as you travel inland on this private tour, you'll discover just why. Journey through mountainous landscapes and savour a local lunch in Bascamao. There are also stops in Artenara and a wine cellar. Esteban, one of our local guides, says, ‘It's high after high on this tour, starting with lunch at a cave restaurant with views and then going to the island's highest village. At over 1,200m above sea level, Artenara finds itself nestled on a ridge surrounded by jagged peaks.'Heading north via the Mogan Valley, snake your way through gorges and gaps towards the very centre of the island. The views along the way are camera-grabbingly good, so there'll be an occasional pit stop to take some pics. Lunch in a family-owned ‘cave restaurant' in the remote hamlet of Bascamao is next. Savour dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, with a side of views over the surrounding countryside and the ocean. What's more, with this visit, you contribute to the local community and economy.Afterwards, head to the highest town on the island, Artenara. Explore on foot this tiny village clustered around a whitewashed church or stick your head into the famed cave dwellings museum. Next, you'll head to the Presas viewpoint, among others, for views of alpine landscapes and the northern coastline. Round off the day with a Bandama crater photo stop, stopping en route by a family-run wine cellar to sample its volcanic earth wines.

Gran Canaria 2026 solar eclipse VIP tour
As the sun sets on 12th August 2026, you'll be in the most sought-after spot to see the first solar eclipse visible from Gran Canaria in over a century. The island lines up to enjoy a 74% eclipse, as the moon casts daylight into shadow and creates an otherworldly atmosphere for over 90 minutes. You'll watch the cosmos put on its most impressive show from the vantage point of the west coast's Mirador del Balcón, with views over the Atlantic.Your tour begins with a late afternoon pick-up from your hotel and a scenic journey to the west of the island in a comfortable hybrid SUV. Arrive at San Nicolás in style, with 20 minutes of free time to stroll this sleepy, tucked-away town and perhaps grab a coffee in the main square while admiring the church. The town is the gateway to Mirador del Balcón, and it takes just 15 minutes to climb the winding mountain roads in your SUV to reach 357 metres above sea level.At the top of the cliff, you'll settle into the Mirador del Balcón viewpoint and watch the eclipse begin at around 7.00pm. As you look out over the Atlantic Ocean, you'll see the famous line of spine-like, jagged coastal cliffs known as the ‘Dragon's Tail'. With your protective glasses on, you'll watch as the eclipse hits its peak before raising a glass of cava to toast this incredible celestial event. Your guide will offer commentary to explain the science and significance behind what you're watching and will even have some premium chocolates to hand out to top off the experience. The eclipse ends at around 8.45pm and after the sun drops into the Atlantic beyond the cliffs, you'll be whisked back to your hotel between 10.00pm and 11.00pm.
