Taste north Gran Canaria on an 8-hour tour: Arehucas rum, banana museum, coffee and wines, plus a hands-on mojo canario workshop.
“great day out and great team Paco/Tom. it was great going inland and discover plantation of both Banana and coffee. it's a full day out and a new your, well worth it. the rum factory was also good, although I am not much of a rum drinker.”
A 1-hour English guided visit at Arehucas Distillery in Arucas, with a guided walk through rum making and a tasting to finish.
“Kort Lagom lång och informativ och intressant rundvandring i romfabriken. Bra engelsktalande guide. Lite svårt att höra guiden ibland, då gruppen var stor och inte alla kunde komma nära i vissa trängre långsmala utrymmen. Generös och givande provsmakning som avslutning, med möjlighet till köp av dryck och andra varor.”
An 8-hour North La Palma bus tour with a laurel-forest walk in Cubo de la Galga and a guided Ron Aldea rum tasting.
“Interesting view point stops around the island, with time enough to see everything. it was not rushed. The highlight for me was the Bosque de la Tila with the waterfall. The stop for lunch was sufficient time to get some food or take a coffee. The guide was excellent, made the tour interesting and funny, and considered all the nationalities on the tour.”
Banana Museum, Arehucas rum, Bodega wine, coffee tasting and a mojo workshop, with pickup on Gran Canaria
“A fantastic variety of experinces through out the day. From learing about banana production, thre history of rum making and the fun of discovering new things at the coffee planation. A gret day of fun.”
Canarian rum and award-winning cheese tasting in Mogán at Valle de Mogán, guided by a wine cellar specialist, 2.5 hours for $77.
“Our Tasting lasted about two hours and we liked it so much that we stayed for dinner at the restaurant next to where it takes place. Great service. During the tour you try 3 types of rum and several types of Canarian cheese.”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
