ONE WAY TO PLAN THIS VISIT

Roque Nublo: hiking with Sky Rebels

A mountain day with a guided Roque Nublo hike and transport from Maspalomas subject to confirmation. It replaces the independent mountain day.

Confirm collection, access arrangements, fitness, age and cancellation conditions. Alerts may replace the hike with another route. This is not the non-hiking panoramic tour.

Organised excursions are alternatives to independent visits. You do not need to do both to enjoy the island.

Vegueta and Las Canteras, with time between neighbourhoods

Tejeda and one chosen highland visit

With booking and access arranged, dedicate the morning to Roque Nublo. For a non-hiking day or without a reservation, choose Artenara’s centre as an alternative, not a compulsory second excursion.

Plan this visit →

Gáldar and Agaete: heritage or a farm visit, without rushing

With your slot confirmed, visit Cueva Pintada and explore Gáldar. If you prefer Agaete’s coffee farm, make it the main visit instead of the museum.

Plan this visit →

Maspalomas or Mogán: choose your day by the sea

Choose the lighthouse promenade and a marked dunes access. If you prefer a southwest boat trip, replace this programme with the outing and confirmed boarding and return arrangements.

Before planning your trip

Can I just drive to the Roque Nublo trailhead?

Do not assume so. Check regulations, booking and transport from designated parking areas.

Does the Vegueta walk include admissions?

No. An independent walk and museum admissions are separate choices. Check your chosen venue.

Can I walk anywhere in the dunes?

No. Follow designated paths and signs. Photography or beach access does not justify leaving them.
