About Discover Gran Canaria
About Discover Gran Canaria
Discover Gran Canaria was created with a simple idea: travelers should be able to find the right experience for them, not just the most advertised or popular one.
Gran Canaria offers an incredible variety of activities: dolphin watching tours, yacht trips, buggy adventures, island tours, hikes, water sports, tasting tours and unique local experiences.
For many visitors, choosing the right excursion is not always that easy: there are dozens of operators, many options that look similar online, and big booking platforms that list almost everything without distinction.
Discover Gran Canaria was created to make that process simpler, clearer and more reliable.
"Our goal is to help travelers find the experiences that best match their expectations, their interests and the kind of memories they want to create during their stay on the island, because the right experience can turn a holiday into something unforgettable".
In addition to our online platform, travelers can also meet our team in person at our Discover Gran Canaria excursion centers on the island.
A local team,
Discover Gran Canaria is not a large anonymous booking platform. We are a local team based on the island, working directly with the people who organize the experiences.
Being locally present allows us to stay close to the activities we promote and maintain direct relationships with many of the operators who run them.
This local perspective helps us guide travelers toward experiences that consistently deliver great results.
Instead of listing every activity available online, Discover Gran Canaria focuses on selecting experiences that meet clear standards of organization, safety and overall quality. Over time we have built strong collaborations with many of the island’s most trusted excursion operators.
For us, the customer is the most valuable asset: if an operator no longer meets the level of quality expected by our travelers, we do not hesitate to interrupt the collaboration.
This approach allows us to protect what matters most: the experience of the visitor.

Let customers speak for us
Davvero ben organizzati e offrono tante avventure diverse per far conoscere l'isola. Grazie!
The trip to see the dolphins was absolutely wonderful. The weather was perfect—bright and clear, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. There were some waves out on the water, but the captain handled the boat really well and kept everything smooth and comfortable. Seeing the dolphins in their natural environment was amazing, and the whole outing felt both exciting and relaxing. It was definitely a memorable experience that I’d highly recommend.
The sea was a bit choppy but the captain negotiated it well. It was brilliant seeing the dolphins.
The crew were attentive and helpful. The lunch was okay but on the small size.
The rest of the cruise was lovely as it was around the coast so not so choppy.
Francesca in the shop in Mogan was very helpful and friendly
Recommend booking with them.
Beautiful boat, plenty of space and good visibility for everyone.
A super nice, very attentive, friendly, and highly motivated crew.
Amazing dolphin sighting (a huge pod of dolphins with many babies — we were able to accompany them for quite a long distance).
A pleasant lunch break with good food and a swimming stop.
Overall, a wonderful, relaxing, and at the same time exciting trip.
I cannot recommend this tour enough ! Excellent safe driver with excellent information throughout the whole day. Great stopping off points with time for lunch in lovely Tejeda ( not included in price ) and able to buy the famous almond cake from the bakery on the Main Street. Your holiday would not be complete without doing this tour !
Did the Panorama tour was excellent. Driver very knowledgeable (Charles) excellent driver as well. Would really recommend. Showed completely different side to Gran Canaria
Thank you for renting a car and transporting us from the airport and back. The best thing was the fast communication on WhatsApp.
On my birthday, 15-2, we did the Sparkle tour. We had a lovely day, thanks to our excellent driver Ibon and Dutch guide Fabricius Fabio. Most of the passengers were Dutch people (Fabio and Jan and me too) but Fabio told everything in English and Dutch for the two English people. We learned a lot about Grand Canaria and saw the beautiful part of Grand Canaria. It was a very interesting day. We recommend the trip with these two man!

Super excursion avec des paysages vraiment splendides et variés. La guide était très professionnelle et nous a donné beaucoup d’informations pratiques et utiles pour profiter au mieux de notre séjour.
Petit retard au pick-up le matin, mais rien de grave et bien géré.
Je recommande sans hésiter!
We joined the tour last Sunday and it turned out to be a truly special experience. We were lucky enough to visit Tejeda during the Almond Blossom Festival, which made the atmosphere even more magical.
Due to the huge number of visitors in such a small village, it was a bit challenging to find a restaurant for lunch, but this was absolutely understandable and didn’t take away from the experience at all.
The excursion itself was beautiful, the places we visited were stunning, and the guide was professional, knowledgeable, and well prepared, managing everything calmly despite the busy day. A wonderful tour that we highly recommend.
Lo Sparkle Tour è stata un’esperienza molto piacevole e ben organizzata. L’itinerario permette di scoprire alcuni dei luoghi più belli e autentici dell’isola, con panorami spettacolari lungo tutto il percorso.
La guida è stata professionale, preparata e disponibile, rendendo la giornata scorrevole e interessante. Un’escursione ideale per chi vuole conoscere Gran Canaria in modo rilassato ma completo. Consigliata.
A definite must if you are visiting Gran Canaria
We had the 10 person yacht tour to see dolphins and it was amazing! The boat and staff were lovely and we saw so many dolphins which was truly outstanding! The food provided was lovely and snorkelling time! There were drinks provided which included beer, wine, sangria and soft drinks, the only thing I would say is that the drinks are advertised as unlimited but the beers ran out after 2 each and if you don’t like wine or sangria there aren’t any other options but still this was fine! Would definitely recommend!
Booked this trip with 24 hours notice after finding it online. Prompt communication via whatsapp. Free hotel pick up included along with a return after the trip.
My daughter (13) and I really looked forward to this and it’s now one of our holiday highlights! Small group on the boat, great crew looking after us, drinks provided on board and lovely fresh lunch prepared for us. Two swim stops with gear like kayak and paddle boards made it extra fun! Highly recommend!
Absolutely loved it and would definitely go again.
