5.00We had an amazing day on the Rainforest Tour. Our guide Víctor was incredibly knowledgeable, shared so many interesting stories, and was genuinely funny and friendly. He truly made the whole day! The walk through the rainforest was lovely and moderately challenging – it helps if you're a bit more flexible than a fridge (as we say in swedish), but you definitely don’t need to be an athlete. The lunch at the small local farm was fantastic, made from home-grown ingredients. We wrapped up the day with a refreshing swim. Highly recommended! Also we met a cat, 5/5!
Great experience for everyone involved.

5.00This was an amazing experience with Victor as our guide who helped everyone feel involved and created a very intimate group feeling for being a bunch of strangers. Huge amounts of great facts about everything on the tour, very fun experiencing traversing a bit of terrain, not to mention the lunch at the farm, which was very well prepared and amazingly delicious. Worth every cent, and just the right amount of time spent.
Awesome hike and tasting

5.00Angelica our guid was really nice and helpful (and a pretty good driver on those roads). The hike in the nature was exactly what I wanted, the tasting of local products was delicious and the swim in the ocean at the end was a nice touch.
Beautiful detour from the beaches; great for solo travellers

5.00Despite staying on the north side of the island, this tour gives you a unique experience of Gran Canaria beyond the beaches! Well worth your time to take this tour into some local towns and villages, plus a stroll (and fun times going over streams!) into a rainforest. Angélica, our tour guide, was passionate about showing off her island home and kept everyone engrossed and entertained. 10/10 experience for a solo traveler like myself :)

5.00This was a perfect tour of Firgas, a rainforest valley and finishing up in Los Charcones. Our guide, Angelica, knew and cared passionately about the ecology of the island. She answered all our questions in an informed way. The lunch at a local farm was delicious and the gardens were full of fruit and vegetables. A great way to get out of the main tourist drags and experience the real Gran Canaria.
It is a nice trip split...

5.00It is a nice trip split in 3, first you visit Firgas and hear the story of the city, afterwards you drive to the little rainforest and have a nice walk and see all the flora and fauna here. After this you visit a small farm and have dinner, fresh fruit and other delicious things. The trip ends with a swimming trip and it is so nice. But the really reason for 5 stars is the guide angelica, she was really good and made the experience even more memorable
Very informative and different experience on Gran Canaria

5.00A very pleasant and adventurous journey through Firgas, the ravine and its’ ecological farm. And a refreshing dip at the natural pools after. A lot of history at each place with funny jokes. The surroundings reminded us of Jurassic Park, which was fun! The hike itself was quite the adventure with crossing small creeks by rocks or wood logs, climbing (just a few low hills) and witnessing live dinosaurs (okay, they were chickens) in the forest. The hike was about 3km as said, but when counting the walk to the eco farm, the whole walking distance was 5,5km according to our gps sports watch. We didn’t mind, though! Shout out for our guide Victor who was amazing, attentative and made us laugh on several occasions. Thank you Victor!! A small feedback about the bus: the benches were so tightly close that our tall legs couldn’t fit in between.
Informative exploration trip with easy adventure

5.00Very cool guide - Victor. Small and harmonious group. Tour was not strenuous, partly a bit slippery, but also easy for beginners. Food on the farm was very local and nicely done. The nature pools at the end were refreshing and sometimes something different. Very slippery, though. Through the long bus ride for Us from the south [Playa del Cura - just under 2 hours total] We could see a lot of the cities.

4.00We had a fun trip with Victor to explore the north side of Gran Canaria, which holds a lush green landscape that you wouldn’t expect when staying in the south. Great lunch, interesting visit to the eco farm. Only downside was the long drive with a driver who didn’t respect the speed limits and left the windows open on the motorway.
