The guide who took us around Gran Canaria was amazing. Funny, engaging and knowledgable. However, the transfer staff from Tenerife were appalling. No communicaton, didn’t know what the plan was or what we were to do once reaching Gran Canaria. On the way back, we had no coach and the rep didn’t tell us what was happening. She got on our mini bus eventually when left us half was to the hotels with no explanation as to what was as happening. Not impressed.
This experience has 100% Gran Canaria stamped all over it. You'll visit the Arehucas Rum Distillery for a tasting session. Then, come face to face with creatures from the deep at Poema del Mar aquarium. There's also free time in the town of Vegueta and Agate.
It all starts at the Poema del Mar, where you'll see creatures from different corners of the world. Head to the Reef, where you'll encounter corals and fish of every colour imaginable. There's also the Deep Sea, with millions of litres of water. All in all, it brings you within touching distance to an enchanting underwater world.
It's then off to Arucas Rum Distillery – the oldest rum-producer in Europe – where there's a tour and tasting experience. And afterwards, you'll be transferred to the historic centre of Vegueta, the birthplace of the capital Las Palmas. Grab some lunch and have a look around its historical mansion houses. Finally, you'll catch the ferry back to Tenerife.
