What to expect
Your guide collects you from the port and drives you into the quieter, greener Gran Canaria most cruise passengers miss. Expect winding roads, small villages, local markets or restaurants where islanders eat, and vantage points that reveal the island's genuine character. You'll stop to walk, eat, and look around—the pace is unhurried. Everything's timed so you're back at the ship well before departure. The drive itself is part of the tour; your guide narrates as you go, pointing out landscape and history.
