Gran Canaria Cruises

Impressive landscapes

With so many landscapes found on one island, Gran Canaria offers plenty of adventurous experiences, such as a hike around the 3,000-year-old volcanic crater, Bandama Caldera and a Jeep tour up the Arucas Mountain.

Shopping

There’s also plenty of places to explore at your leisure. You can stroll along the golden sand of La Canteras beach and walk the promenade to browse the shops and boutiques along the beachfront.

History and architecture

Perhaps you’ll head to Poema del Mar, a popular aquarium located near the cruise port, or venture into the historical quarter of Vegueta, where the cobbled streets are lined with traditional Spanish architecture.

Sandy beaches

After an exciting day exploring Gran Canaria, before heading back to your ship you could hire a waterfront hammock and dose off to the sound of the waves rippling against La Canteras’ shore.

North Island Towns & Flavours of Agaete Valley

Travel to the historic town of Arucas, which features the impressive parish church of San Juan and the Plaza de la Constitution.

Enjoy a walk through this charming town and learn about its history before your tour continues to the town of Firgas. This picturesque Canarian village has a long history connected to water, and today an artificial waterfall flows down the steps in the centre of the old town, Paseo de Gran Canaria, providing a lovely place to walk.

From Firgas, you’ll head towards The Finca La Laja and Bodega Los Berrazales, a more than 200-year old farm known for its wine, coffee and oranges. You can learn about their coffee-making and wine-making process, and enjoy a tasting of both products.

Hike the Bandama Caldera

The Bandama Caldera is one of the youngest volcanoes in the Canaries. And this active excursion will take you along the green paths into the heart of the crater to see an abandoned homestead, before ascending for spectacular views over the north of Gran Canaria.

Essence of Gran Canaria

On this rewarding excursion you’ll stop first to visit the epic Bandama Caldera. After taking in the views of the volcano, move on to explore more of the island’s highlights such as the old town of Teror and the beautiful Duchess Gardens.

Puerto de Mogan and Submarine Adventure

During the excursion you will embark on a submarine adventure for a unique underwater experience. Seated in the submarine, travel 20-25 metres underwater and capture the underwater world of Puerto Mogan through a porthole.

Afterwards there will also be an opportunity to explore Puerto Mogan with time at leisure, perhaps take a stroll through its bustling marina or relax in one of the local cafes or restaurants.
