Gran Canaria
Trip Planning & Itineraries
The Canariones, as the islanders tend to refer to themselves, like to think of Gran Canaria as a 'continent in miniature.' You'll come across this phrase with great regularity on your visit here, due to the startling range of terrain - from the fertile north to the arid interior and desert south - which largely justifies the claim. The island is the third largest of the archipelago but accounts for almost half the population.
Gran Canaria Dolphin & Whale Cruise
From USD $37.36
Take this cruise for a chance to see bottlenose dolphins, striped and common dolphins (sometimes the boat is surrounded by Atlantic spotted dolphins!) as it sails through the sparkling blue waters surrounding Gran Canaria.
4x4 Jeep Safari of Gran Canaria
From USD $79.70
This jeep safari will take you all over Gran Canaria. Travel to El Salobre and Lomos de Pedro. Continue through the pine trees of Pajonales and Cercados de Arana, to the beautiful Lake Chira.
Suggested Itineraries in Gran Canaria
If you're after a beach-side holiday with the one-week charter-flight crowd, then the Playa del Inglés scene will have you sunburnt, hung over and wondering how to get a money transfer organized in record time.
Otherwise, the capital Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a busy, happening city and worth a visit for its historic old quarter, bar-hopping scene and the golden sands of Playa de las Canteras. Surfers can pick up some waves here and off Maspalomas, and windsurfers are in heaven on the southeastern coast.
