Tastes of Gran Canaria Private Tour

With warm winds brushing the coast and cool air in the mountains, Gran Canaria's multiple microclimates mean almost anything grows here. On this exclusive tour, you'll travel by people carrier to the rugged landscapes of the north to see the Bandama Crater and Agaete coastline where you'll taste locally produced rum and coffee. It all begins at the volcanic Bandama crater, which is as wide as 20 football pitches and as deep as a 40-storey building. Then it's on to the Viera y Clavijo botanic gardens, where more than 2,000 species of plants – a quarter of which are endemic to the Canaries – can be found.You'll then be rewarded with a visit to one of Europe's oldest rum distilleries. Learn about the different types and then taste some before heading to Agaete for a Canarian lunch. In the afternoon, you'll visit Finca la Laja – a typical Canarian farm – to explore the estate and taste fresh-from-the-tree fruit and coffee.
