Great excursion, very scenic and informative guide. Lots of hair pin bends on the whole journey. Pick up in the morning was a bit chaotic, I think a photo of where we were to meet would be helpful as there was another entrance. Another driver who picked us up in a car was a bit rude. But apart from that minor mishap it was a great day. Thanks

From the pick up to the drop off the whole trip was great. The 4x4 wheel is fun, driving us through mountains with beautiful nature and a lot of a history about it. Got breaks to have a breakfast, lunch and some shopping. Also the Alovera shop was nice, tour guide was super fun. Great experience definitely recommend it

Couldn't recommend this more. The interior of Gran Canaria is stunning and often missed by tourists sticking to the resorts. Jose was a brilliant, friendly, funny and knowledgeable guide and an expert driver, which helped with some of the narrower off-road mountain tracks!

Horses are allocated according to level of experience, which is reassuring for novices. The walk was very nice and with the sunset in the mountains at the end of the day. The instructors are at the top and the horses are very well cared for. To recommend

Amazing sunny trip where they wait while you have fun, speedboating, jetski-ing and swimming your heart out while they serve you food and drinks. What’s not to like?
