Our Gran Canaria hiking tours are six guided departures that run from a walk through the forest to secured climbing. Three are full days with hotel pickup and a meal or a swim built in: the laurel forest tour, the red canyon and the heart of the volcano. The other three are half days that raise the bar: canyoning, via ferrata for beginners and rock climbing. All with a guide in English and Spanish and free cancellation.

The island changes landscape within a few kilometres, and the catalogue shows it: one day you walk through laurel forest in the north, the next you are among the reddish cliffs of the Tirajana caldera. The three long departures are full days out with stops, a meal or a tasting and, on two of them, a swim to finish. The three short ones are technical activities with kit and instructor included, designed for people who have never done a via ferrata or a canyon.

If you want to walk and see the island, take one of the full days. The Rainforest Tour passes Firgas and the Barranco de Azuaje, stops to eat at an organic farm and ends with a swim in natural pools. The red canyon combines the El Guriete viewpoint, Santa Lucía de Tirajana, the La Fortaleza caves, a Canarian lunch and the Barranco de Las Vacas, finishing by the sea. The heart of the volcano sets off at 2 pm for the Bandama caldera and Cruz de Tejeda, with a tasting of local produce.
If you are after action, the three short ones come with all the kit: on canyoning you descend the riverbed walking, jumping and abseiling, wetsuit and helmet included; the via ferrata runs in the south, clipped to a life line throughout, and needs no experience; rock climbing is a lesson on natural rock with equipment, insurance and photos of the day.
See all Gran Canaria excursions, the outdoor activities, and departures from Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and Las Palmas.
Not for any of the six. The full days are walks with stops, and the via ferrata, climbing and canyoning are set up for beginners, with kit and instructor included.
The three long ones run from 8 to 11 and a half hours, counting pickup. Canyoning, via ferrata and climbing come in at 4 or 5 hours.
On five of the six, yes. Rock climbing is the exception: you make your own way to the meeting point.
Not for the technical ones: canyoning provides wetsuit and helmet, and climbing and via ferrata all the gear. For the walks, boots, water and a hat are enough.
Yes. You descend the riverbed walking, jumping and abseiling always with an expert guide, and the activity takes adults and children alike.
English and Spanish on all six activities.
Yes, free up to 24 hours before on all of them. Bear in mind that climbing, via ferrata and canyoning sell out early.
Canyoning is designed for groups and families, and the full-day routes keep a gentle pace with stops. Check the minimum age of each one when booking.
