Great excursion, very scenic and informative guide. Lots of hair pin bends on the whole journey. Pick up in the morning was a bit chaotic, I think a photo of where we were to meet would be helpful as there was another entrance. Another driver who picked us up in a car was a bit rude. But apart from that minor mishap it was a great day. Thanks

From the pick up to the drop off the whole trip was great. The 4x4 wheel is fun, driving us through mountains with beautiful nature and a lot of a history about it. Got breaks to have a breakfast, lunch and some shopping. Also the Alovera shop was nice, tour guide was super fun. Great experience definitely recommend it

It was a really unique and special experience to hike by moonlight and to learn about the stars from an amazing viewpoint. Pablo is a great guide and made us feel very relaxed and also gave us some tasty local treats! We had a really magical time and would highly recommend this tour :)

Couldn't recommend this more. The interior of Gran Canaria is stunning and often missed by tourists sticking to the resorts. Jose was a brilliant, friendly, funny and knowledgeable guide and an expert driver, which helped with some of the narrower off-road mountain tracks!

Amazing sunny trip where they wait while you have fun, speedboating, jetski-ing and swimming your heart out while they serve you food and drinks. What’s not to like?
