About this tour
Spend seven hours exploring Gran Canaria's dramatic north-west coast with a French-speaking guide. You'll drive the winding coastal route from Las Palmas to Agaete, then inland to a mountain village where a hiking trail descends to a waterfall—your picnic spot. After refuelling with local fare, trek to a secluded beach flanked by ocean-facing cliffs. The journey balances vehicle time with moderate walks through accessible but demanding terrain, rewarding effort with genuine wilderness and solitude.

What to expect
Expect a full day mixing driving and hiking. The morning coastal route is scenic but winding; later you'll walk steadily downhill to the waterfall for a packed lunch with fresh local ingredients. Afterwards, the second trek climbs gradually toward dramatic cliff views overlooking the Atlantic. Those keener can explore further along rocky paths; others rest on sand. The trails themselves are well-trodden but exposed, requiring decent fitness and stamina rather than technical skill. Bring legs, not technical gear.
Good to know
Moderate fitness essential for two intermediate walks. Wear your own hiking shoes, sun protection and sunscreen. Bring swimwear if you'd like water time. Not suitable if pregnant, recovering from spinal issues, or with cardiovascular concerns. Limited mobility? Contact first about customised routing. Mineral water, towels, packs and cutlery all supplied.
