Description

We will travel by ferry from Tenerife to Gran Canaria in the most comfortable and fastest way with Fred Olsen Express.

Arriving at Puerto de las Nieves in Agaete, we will head straight to the historic quarter of Vegueta, where we will take a walking tour through its streets full of culture and history.

After exploring Vegueta, we'll head to the Poema del Mar aquarium in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This impressive theme park, which opened on 17 December 2017, will immerse us in the majesty of nature in three incomparable environments: jungle, beach reef and deep ocean. The 12,000-square-metre facility features 35 marine and river ecosystems from around the globe.  The aquarium pays tribute, with its name and architectural lines, to the Canarian artist Néstor de la Torre, who stood out in the avant-garde of the early 20th century, and his work "Poemas del Atlántico" (Poems of the Atlantic). Here we can admire the largest curved glass in the world (a methacrylate weighing 140 tons, 36 metres long and 7 metres high), which exhibits some 350 species from 35 different ecosystems, from sharks, piranhas, freshwater rays, crocodiles and sea dragons.

Our last stop will be the Arehucas distilleries, where we will learn the secret of the uniqueness of its rums, a journey through the history, tradition and know-how of Arehucas. During the visit we will explore one of the oldest rum cellars in Europe, made up of 4,308 American oak casks, some even signed by famous personalities. Here we will be explained the process of elaboration of this drink, and we will enjoy a tasting of rums and liqueurs to end the day with a good taste in our mouths.

After this experience, we will return to Puerto de las Nieves in Agaete to take the ferry back to Tenerife.

TextI honestly didn’t expect Gran Canaria to be so different from Tenerife — it felt like a whole new vibe. The dunes blew my mind, and the old town of Vegueta was so charming. A long day, but so worth it.

TextTook this tour as a spontaneous choice and it turned out to be one of my best travel days. The road trip across the island gave me a great feel for its landscapes. Really appreciated the guide’s energy and fun facts.
