- evitabroka0 contributionsVery recommended!Great hiking tour! Amazing views, excellent & positive guides, surprise snacks at the top of the mountain:) One of the best days spent in Gran Canaria.Written January 2, 2025
- seanm8560 contributionsFantastic hike with MiguelHad a fantastic hike with Miguel, who was incredibly welcoming and informative. It really did surpass our expectations. Because of the bad weather around Roque Nublo we were offered an alternative hike around Los Azulejos, which was absolutely stunning!Written December 12, 2024
- Maggie C0 contributionsA perfect hike to start our holiday!It was a perfect hiking on a perfect day! Started out a bit windy and chilli but it just got better and better throughout the journey. We saw so many amazing views and learnt so much about the history of the area!Written December 1, 2024
- juliasE185QD0 contributionsBeautiful hike, great guideGoing on a nice hike was definitely on our Gran Canaria bucket list, and doing this one was well worth it! Beautiful views through a variety of landscapes and a nice picknick on top of Roque Nublo itself. We were with a small group, which was nice as it meant we got to ask our guide Miguel all the questions we wanted. Miguel was amazing too: very kind and very knowledgable!!Written November 15, 2024
- 526ariend0 contributionsGreat canyoning alternativeFirst time coaststeering, but with a great guide this was equally thrilling and breathtaking (in 2 ways) as canyoning!Written September 30, 2024
- HD2006Reviews0 contributionsGhostedGhosted me. I received an email confirming my trip and the meeting location. I showed 30 min early. After waiting an hour after the meeting time, I gave up and left. Called multiple times to no response. So disappointing. If they needed to cancel, then they should have notified me. Just a waste of my time.Written September 17, 2024
- Richard B0 contributionsAmazing experienceThis was a fantastic trip. The guides were amazing from start to finish. We had the youngest in the group at 9 years old and they were able to cater for everyone. The walking over rocks was great fun, and there is an element of danger throughout that makes it special. Again I cannot praise the guides enough. They were funny, attentive and always there with a rope when someone gets stuck at sea 🤣 Would absolutely do this again, and the trip offers fantastic value for money. Bravo 👏👏Written July 30, 2024
- Cedric V0 contributionsCoastering in Gran CanariaMiguel is a great guide and very entertaining during the activity. He listened well to the groups wishes and skill level and was great at aiding the people who struggled along the way. Recommended if you like some adventure. Vamos!!Written April 27, 2024
- Malcolm W0 contributionsVia ferrata - Degollada de Las YeguasMiguel met us at the Degollada de Las Yeguas viewpoint and issued us with all the safety equipment including backpacks, food and drink. The ferrata was a short walk from there and was a mix of traverses, climbs, ladders and at the end an optional Tibetan bridge and a couple of other very enjoyable optional surprises, which I will not spoil in this review. The grade was a K3 / C. If you are new to via ferratas then this is on the harder side for a beginner, as long as you have a head for heights, a bit of upper body strength and have a good general level of fitness you'll be fine. My wife who's 5' 2" managed fine but there were a few places where her lack of height made it more difficult. This is a fairly new via ferrata, you may not find much info about it online as it was built by Mojo Picon themselves and is only available to book through them. Our group of 7, some whom were beginners, completed it in around 3 hours, but this included plenty of breaks. Although it was 30°c that day it did not feel too hot as all but the 20 minute walk back was in the shade. Miguel the instructor was excellent. He was very enthusiastic, spoke very good English and had a good knowledge of the local area. Highly recommend this activity.Written November 15, 2023
- V517YUmatthiasb0 contributionsAmazingTruly amazing costering tour! Miguel did an amazing job. He let's you be your inner child, but is always there in case you need help. Fantastic tour. In case you're not comfortable with any part of the tour, you can always skip the obstacle. Great organization - they even provide snacks and water during the tour. Real professionals.Written October 17, 2023
- 129benp0 contributionsAn Unexpected AdventureWe were planning on doing the canyoning, but due to forest fire risk we did this coasteering tour instead. We had a fantastic time, with a great guid and would definitely advise this for anyone looking for an adventure.Written October 9, 2023
- Yuval S0 contributionsIf you like adventure - this one is for you!A very unique and energetic experience. Our guide, Miguel, was awesome. Extremely experienced and managed to provide each of us (total group count was 11) the attention we required. Does require good swimming skills and willingness to attempt some 'odd' cliff climbing, nevertheless, to put things in perspective, my 12 year old daughter managed 😀. As a family of 5 with 12, 15 and 17 years old kids - we had an excellent time which we will highlight every time we'll talk about our trip to the Canary Islands.Written September 27, 2023
- J4465KBsarahh0 contributionsGreat family kayaking trip!We booked this as a family experience. So glad we did. We were originally booked on a different day but due to the weather we had to go on a different day which meant our group was larger than usual apparently. It was hard work as the sea was still a little choppy, and I did most of the paddling (I was with my 10 yr old), so we were always at the back of the group. So if you are used to kayaking on flat water be prepared to put in the extra work. But the whole experience was brilliant. Would definitely recommend. Make sure you take towels for the beach - we didn’t but it was fine we just sat on the sand. You get a waterproof bag to put all your belongings in. There is a little picnic of nuts, bananas and cookies provided for the beach stop. Water is provided too.Written September 3, 2023
- B841ODamberb0 contributionsNice experience with a nice guideWe did the coasteering experience. The guide was so energetic and nice. He made us feel very safe. There are enough challenges and if you are scared to do anything, you don’t have to. I would definitely recommend this experience!Written August 4, 2023
- 13kjetili0 contributionsSuper tripWe were a family of 5 who joined. Very good information and service all the way and very nice guide who took care of everyone. The trip was exciting and challenging and very nice scenery. It is an advantage that you don't have to do everything if you don't want to. This is recommended.Written July 28, 2023

It was our first time canyoning and it was the best activity we did on the island. The guides were very skilled, fun and chill. They also told us a lot of interesting things about the island and recommended some spots
The group was 9 people + 2 guides, the time in canyon about 3 hours + 40-50 minutes hike back up. Although the hike in the end was a little challenging, it was still nice, with no rush and beautiful views
The photos are also constantly made by the guides and are provided at no extra cost
I would recommend this activity to anyone who wants to get away from the touristy stuff and see the island from a different angle

It was a great day! We were with quit a big group (16 participants) and two guides. Miguel and Alvaro. The guides were amazing! They were very enthousiastic, funny and willing to share stories and information. Thanks a lot for the fun day! Because we went in summer period, there was not a lot of water in the canyon. It was different than some canyoning adventures we had done before, but not less fun at all! We basically followed a small stream of water by walking, climbing, sliding and abseiling. Good to know: Bring some sporty/light clothes to wear over your bikini/swimsuit. You will have to hike to the start of the canyon and later on back to the car.

We are just back from a fabulous day out with this company. My wife and I had never done canyoning before and decided to give it a try.
First of all, the guide was awesome!
He makes you feel super safe and have fun doing things along with you. He even brought water, fruits and some sweets.
If you like adventure and doing something very memorable and less touristy, then I would highly recommend this tour. Rappelling down waterfalls, jumping off high cliffs, sliding down rock water slides - fun packed day! It is also a beautiful setting in Gran Canaries getting to see the beautiful canyon. Guide also take pictures and videos constantly on the trip so that you have memories of your trip - at no extra charge!
The canyon was stunning!
This is the best experience in my and my wife life 😌 Thanx for the great adventure 🙏🙏🙏
5/5 You have to do it !

This was a new experience for us as we have never done anything like this before. It was incredibly enjoyable with a brilliant guide. Everything was included in the price along with snacks at the end of the canyoning. Miguel was fun and thoroughly explained all the safety aspects to make us feel safe and secure when abseiling down the waterfalls. He took pictures along the way and sent these a couple of days after the tour free of charge. There is a small hike to the canyons and a steep hike back up to the car, so I would recommend a change of clothes before hiking back up which can be kept in a waterproof rucksack that is provided by the guide. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go on an adventure and being in untouched nature.

This experience was INCREDIBLE! It was a birthday present from my girlfriend and neither one of us were ready for how fantastic it was! The whole time was great fun, pure adrenaline and laughs all around. Miguel (the guide) is a professional in every sense of the word, super charismatic, funny and knows how to make the whole group feel safe and comfortable always while encouraging those willing to be adventurous. 100% would recommend, fall short of available compliments for how amazing this was.
WOW! It was a birthday gift from my girlfriend and none of us expected it to be so fantastic! The experience was super fun, pure adrenaline and laughter all the time.

The people of Gran Canaria themselves should always take advantage of having something so fantastic on their doorstep!

I was really excited to take part in this but it didn't exactly go as planned. On the confirmation email at the time of booking AND the reminder email the day before, it explained to meet at Decathlon and from there it would be a 20 minute ride. We arrived early and waited but no one showed up. I eventually called the number to see what was happening and the owner's responses was "well you're not at the right meeting point"...ok well that's where you told us to be. He sent me the a new different meeting point but it was over 1 hour away. At this point, we had already drove 45 minutes to location #1 and to then be expected to drive an additional hour plus was just not what we expected to start this day. I asked him if we could cancel as I found it misleading that we booked with and he sent us incorrect info (if I had know this I would have booked the following week when I was staying very close to location #2). He refused the refund, but I think what mostly disappointed me was the lack of any ownership for the mistake of sending incorrect information to us twice. He kept calling it a "computer glitch", but it seems like they just didn't update their info in their booking software. So if you book direct, be sure to double check the location info. I am giving an extra star because he offered for us to rebook to another day, unfortunately due to other bookings we weren't able to reschedule.

What an amazing experience! Miguel our guide was filled with energy and excitement which made our adventure more fun. He was very encouraging and attentive, which made us feel comfortable, especially at times when my partner was apprehensive. The canyon itself was beautiful! Heads up, good fitness level required for the hike back to the van.

We had an amazing time canyoning! Miguel was really friendly, fun and helpful. He made sure everyone had a great time and gave us different options of how we could slide down sections of the canyon. The abseiling was really good fun, particularly abseiling down the waterfall! I would highly recommend this experience for anyone who likes a bit of adventure. Thanks, Miguel!

Ended up with big disappointment! Operator changed time and location of pick-up one day before the event by mail which I had not read until waiting for the pick-up for half an hour. Poor communication caused 140 USD spent on nothing! Operator not responding to my mails concerning more specified clarification on what happened and my request for partial refund.

Hi, I’m planning to buy a ticket for this activity to join the trip on Friday but I have one concern, does this trip include swimming or hiking through deep water?! Cause I can’t swim so I need to know in advanced:)
Thanks

It is explained in the description i think.
But they have a different departure point for winter and summer time.
This has something to do with the availability of the water streams.
