It went smoothly and was always on time. Since a lot of time is spent traveling, there was no free time at all. Everything was scheduled and followed.

On this tour, we'll visit Gran Canaria from Tenerife to explore the Poema del Mar Aquarium, the neighbourhood of Vegueta in Las Palmas and the Arehucas distillery.

Description

After meeting at the pickup point in Tenerife at the time indicated, we'll take you to the Santa Cruz Port to board a ferry to Gran Canaria. Are you ready to uncover the best of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?

We'll arrive at Las Nieves Port, in the town of Agaete in Gran Canaria, and from here we'll head to our first stop in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: the Poema del Mar Aquarium. In this space, located in the Puerto de la Luz precinct and inaugurated in 2017, you'll find 3 different marine environments: the jungle, coral-beach and the ocean-great depths. Did you know that it has the largest curved glass panes in the world? It's home to around 350 marine species, including sharks, piranhas and crocodiles. There are even sea dragons!

Then, we'll take you to the historic centre of Las Palmas for a guided visit to the Vegueta neighbourhood, the foundational nucleus of the city at the end of the 15th century. In its square, we'll see historic buildings such as the Casa de Colón, the Santa Ana Cathedral, the Canary Museum, the Literary Cabinet, the Casas Consistoriales (City Hall) and the Atlantic Centre of Modern Art. Here, we'll also give you some free time to have lunch at your own expense.

Afterwards, we'll leave Las Palmas behind and head to the town of Arucas to visit the Arehucas Distillery. Here, we'll enjoy a guided tour to uncover the secrets of its rums. It will be a route all about the brand's history and tradition!

Furthermore, we'll explain the creation process of the rums and explore one of the oldest rum stores in Europe. Did you know that it has 4308 American oak barrels? Some are them are very special... ¡Let's find out why! Before leaving, we'll delight in a wine and liquor tasting to top of this terrific experience.

Finally, we'll return to Las Nieves Port in Agaete to return by ferry to Tenerife. After a total of 12 hours of activity, we'll take you back to the initial pickup point.
