We have the experience that you are looking for! Take a half day trip in Gran Canaria to discover places that you would never think that exist.

Furthermore, you can take different routes during the week so you even could take one per day.

Een aanrader Was een zeer interessante excursie, verzorgd door een enthousiast koppel dat zeer veel wist over de Barranco en de grotten. 1 klein minpuntje: dat ze hun auto een naam gaven en in het gesprek betrokken, dat hoefde voor ons nu niet echt.

Brilliant, worth every penny! The knowledge and experience of the tour guides is second to none, as is their very clear passion for the island and natural environment. We had an amazing day out and the freshly prepared food was just delicious. The attention to detail and focus on our experience as customers was brilliant. I would definitely recommend any of the Sky rebel tours as I am sure they will all be of the same highest standards. Communication was excellent and we were picked up and dropped off outside our accomodation. What more could you ask for?

Piccola chicca nascosta Un esempio come la natura riesce creare un angolo meraviglioso . Facile da raggiungere anche se, ci sono problemi di parcheggiare auto. Una volta fatto si scende in basso . Dopo pochi minuti si apre un vero spettacolo del piccolo camion delle rocce scavate dalla forze dell’acqua. Si possono fare bellissimi scatti fotografici.
