5.Roque Nublo: hiking on volcanoes with Sky Rebels

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 100 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $99

Travel from Maspalomas into Gran Canaria’s volcanic interior with local guides Inés and Juanjo. You’ll visit Fataga, hike 3 km to Roque Nublo, stop in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, and enjoy a picnic lunch. The six-person limit keeps the day personal, but the mountain road is curvy.

“Interesting tour with small group. Juanjo drove very carefully on the twisting roads. Ines gave good explanations of the places we visited. They were very good with the young girl on the tour. The walk up to Roque Nublo was difficult in places, even though we walk regularly at home which is only 30m above sea level! So at 74 years old and at 1800m, it was a challenge. The viewing points and the little town we visited were very picturesque. Thank-you both for a very pleasant day.”

This time, I joined the *Hike of the Week* tour, and once again, everything was spot-on. Our group was just the right size (eight hikers), which made for a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. On our drive north, Maciej shared interesting facts and pointed out sights along the way, which made the journey fly by. The hike itself, in the beautiful Teror area, was absolutely fantastic. We trekked through lush valleys, and Maciej made sure everyone felt safe…”
