Northern Gran Canaria Tour from Las Palmas
Gran Canaria, Spain
See some of the highlights of northern Gran Canaria on a 7.5-hour tour from Las Palmas! With an expert local guide, travel to the charming city of Arucas and learn about the island’s popular exports on visits to the rum distillery and banana farm. Then discover the beautiful valley of the Berrazales, in Agaete.
Leave your Las Palmas hotel by air-conditioned coach, and travel north to the elegant city of Arucas. See the Neo-Gothic church of Iglesia de San Juan with its Gaudi-esque spires as well as cultural sights such as the local rum distillery and banana farm. We can´t miss a stroll through its neoclassical streets and a visit to the Neogothic church of St. John.
We will move to the valley of the Berrazales, in Agaete. This place is very rich in tropical fruits, wines and coffee, the only plantation in Europe. Canarian lunch en route. We will also visit the port of Las Nieves, a fishing village as excellence. The tour includes an entrance to an interesting Canarian Aboriginal archaeological site, declared an historic artistic monument.
After admiring some of the sights and learning about the town’s history and culture, we return to your minivan, and then finish your tour with a drop-off at your hotel.
This was more expensive than the Gran Canaria Full-Day Tour but shorter and not as good, so I would definitely recommend the Full-Day Tour over this one.

Bruno and Frans were FANTASTIC tour guides! They had a vast amount of historical knowledge of Gran Canaria and all of the villages we visited. They are incredibly inviting and create a comfortable fun-filled environment. We tasted local food and drink from each place at no cost and without fail, were impressed by the beauty of everything we saw.
