Review of Gran Canaria’s 2.5-hour dolphin and whale cruise, with practical advice on wildlife sightings, sea conditions, guides, value, and booking.

Ride a buggy through Gran Canaria’s Ayagaures Valley, mountain roads, villages, reservoirs, and short dusty off-road tracks with a guide.
“Whole experience was great, except I was under the impression that we were going on the dunes not just a big pile of sand.”
Ride gentle horses through Gran Canaria’s volcanic hills, with Maspalomas dune views, expert guides, safety gear, and optional transfers.
“Amazing! The tour guides are all so lovely and really thorough in matching each person to their ideal horse, while still making sure you can stay close to other people in your personal group. The views are extraordinary and so relaxing. I would definitely recommend paying extra for the pick-up/drop-off option unless you are renting a car as it is very rural. However with the transfer, it was an effortless journey to the stables with a very friendly driver, who even dropped us directly at our hotel afterwards (even though our hotel was not recognised as one of the marked transfer locations). This saved us a very steep walk up…”

Review Aqualand Maspalomas, with 40-plus slides, family pools, practical costs, queue tips, and advice on whether it is worth a full day.
“Had an excellent day! The park is set out well with plenty of room. Very expensive to eat so took own food and drinks. Queues were huge so that’s why 3 stars for value. We bought fast past wrist bands in the end so ended up being an expensive (but fun!) day out!”
Trade the beach for Gran Canaria’s mountain roads, palm valleys, villages, and Roque Nublo views on a lively five-hour Jeep tour.

Review of Gran Canaria’s Afrikat catamaran cruise, with lunch, unlimited drinks, snorkeling, coastal views, and optional water sports.
“AMAZING. All the staff were so welcoming and hilarious. Got to know us all and where we were from with lots of laughs and jokes. Lots of nice little touches like photos, special drinks, and heavily discounted water sports. Paid €42pp for doughnut, speedboat, jet ski and snorkelling. Plenty of time for all and good food in between. Can’t wait to be back”
Ride a jetski along Gran Canaria’s southwest coast with an English-speaking guide, open-sea views, flying fish, and optional photos.
“friendly staff that spoke both English and Spanish. They gave us clear instructions on how to ride out on the boat as well as instructions for using the jet skis. Safety was a priority but also they wanted us to enjoy their activity. They made us feel our enjoyment was important and we were not just a payday. Would certainly go again”
Water, dust, sand or a table — pick the afternoon and the island fills in the rest.
