4.The Red Canyon Tour – Small Group Trip with Local Food Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 798 reviews · 7 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $119Top rated

A small-group Red Canyon tour in Gran Canaria with viewpoints, aboriginal cave history, a colorful ravine hike, and a local food tasting.

“On paper this excursion seems quite tame/unexciting compared to others around the world, but it’s actually incredible and Angelica played a key role in that. Firstly she’s very enthusiastic and clearly loves her job and island. Secondly, she’s a fantastic storyteller, painting great pictures for you as you walk around historic sites to immerse yourself in the world. We really liked some of the stops, especially Santa Lucia which was a cute little town that was very peaceful. La Fortaleza was great but became amazing after the history lesson was given by Angelica. Shoutout to our coach driver too who drove with immense patience and consideration (lots of windy roads).”

“It was a great experience! It is an activity of a married couple, both very sweet people. We first sailed around for an hour, with the host sharing some facts of the areas. You could choose to sunbathe upstairs on the deck. The host also took pictures with his camera, which were sent to you later, which was very nice! During this hour you could also get something to drink like a beer/sangria/soft drinks. When we came back the wine tasting started and this was really fantastic. The dishes matched the wines and it was a taste sensation in your mouth. We really recommend this, it was really great fun…”
