Hike The Volcanic Island of Gran Canaria

This is a fantastic, well organised trip! Feels a lot longer than it is, which shows how good the itinerary is; excellent hiking, great accommodation, and time to rest & relax also. The guides and crew were all very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun! And the scenery and landscapes on Gran Canaria are stunning - and very quiet, we hardly saw any other people out on the trails. I would highly recommend this trip!

My partner and I had an excellent time hiking across Gran Canaria. The views, staff, group - everything was great. I would recommend to a friend and definitely will consider booking with MBA again!

A wonderful trip with beautiful scenery and an amazing crew!

It was a well organized trip with knowledgeable guides. They made sure you were having a good time and were quick to address any issues that came up. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Really enjoyed the mixture of people, Landesscape and weather

What an amazing, unforgettable experience!!

Gran Canaria truly is a micro-continent with amazing scenery that ranges from lush green valleys to rugged mountain peaks, each corner revealing breathtaking views that seemed to change with every step – as did the weather sometimes. It was fascinating to discover the unique geological aspects and diverse ecosystems that make Gran Canaria such a special place.

Our guides, Rachel, Pablo and Jasper were amazing!! Their knowledge and enthusiasm for the island's natural beauty and history were evident, as they shared captivating stories throughout our journey. They went out of their way to include some birthday and holiday celebrations – the Easter egg hunt was so fun! Their camaraderie and energy motivated us to challenge ourselves and fully embrace the adventure. And loved the Pilates class that Rachel taught on the last morning!

The accommodations during the trip were excellent, with comfortable lodgings that allowed us to relax and recharge after our daily hikes. The food was equally impressive, featuring delicious local cuisine that perfectly complemented the day's activities.

Overall, this hiking trip to Gran Canaria exceeded my expectations. The combination of stunning landscapes, exceptional guides, and wonderful group of people made for a perfect getaway. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Gran Canaria!

This MBA led by Climbo in Gran Canaria was excellent. If anyone is in doubt about going as a solo adventurer on holiday, this is an excellent way to rip the bandage off and realise you love it.

This was my first solo holiday and I was really nervous but we had the most amazing group from all walks of life. A lot of laughs along the way. I found the first day quite tough physically but I had the most amazing support from my friends. The scenery is absolutely incredible and we were fortunate with the weather apart from one day which was very cold and windy. A massive shout out to the guides, Pablo, Rachael & Jesper who were so incredible, the knowledge and support was immense and they kept us entertained all week. I’ll be booking my next adventure soon!

4 seasons in a day on this wonderful hike in Gran Canaria. Wondrous views and fabulous flora and fauna throughout. The walking was challenging in parts but manageable. Rachael and Pablo our guides were knowledgable and kept a perfect walking pace. Celeste and Jesper managed the logistics of keeping us fuelled with snacks, lunches and water plus moving us and our luggage seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. The extra activities of visiting the coffee plantation, the wine and cheese evening and the Pilates to finish things off added to the enjoyment. We had a great group with a spread of ages all of whom got on well together. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another MBA holiday in the future.

A week spent in the beautiful island of Gran Canaria hiking in the incredible ever-changing landscape and micro climates, supported by a brilliant group of guides! Thanks to Pablo, Rachel, Celeste and Jesper who made the trip memorable and comfortable for us, come rain, wind or sunshine :) I will certainly be back to explore more in the future and create some more memories. This trip is highly recommended…. So go for it!

I had the best time on this trip, Pablo and Rachael were excellent guides, giving us insights into the history, geology and plant life of the island. Celeste and Jesper had everything covered and went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best holiday. Our weather was a bit mixed and one day the guides changed the route so we could get some sunshine and views. The hike was challenging in parts but well worth the effort. The food was great and the Pilates on the last day was a great way to finish. Made some great friends and lots of fun was had. Sad it had to end, but will keep in touch with everyone. If you are thinking of booking this trip, go for it, you’ll love it.

An amazing week on such a beautiful island, each day brought new scenery and different landscapes. The food was great with lots of local dishes, and all the accommodation is clean and unique with hot showers (if you're on the right side 😂). Our guides Benjamin, Daylos and Rachael were wonderful company and it was fantastic to hear how passionate they are about the island. Highly recommend!

Great trip, fantastic guides and a good group. I would recommend.

This was so much more than a hike. We had wine tasting, coffee plantation visit, Pilates, swimming, lovely meals and a different scenery everyday. Our guides in Racheal, Benjamin and Daylos looked after us really well and nothing was too much trouble. They made such a great team. Would recommend 100%

Excellent trip . Five action-packed days with a great team of guides - Benjamin, Rachael and Dialas. An amazing island; saw places few other tourists would get to. Manageable challenges with plenty of guidance and a great group of people.

Logistics perfect. Tour Guides amazing: personable, knowledgeable and went above and beyond remit to offer a great experience. Really great group of like-minded yet diverse people to share the holiday with. Will be rebooking another holiday with MBA. Thanks for such a great time!

This is a fabulous hike through diverse and beautiful scenery. We did the hike in March, the weather was a perfect hiking temperature, and rain earlier in the month meant we had beautiful meadow flowers and grasses, amongst the pine trees and cacti. Benjamin and Rachel were fabulous guides, setting a suitable pace for the group, they were knowledgeable, personable, helpful and good fun. I enjoyed meeting the other group members too, and would definitely recommend this trip.

Well organised trip across Gran Canaria. Benjamin, Rachael and Dylos couldn't have done more to ensure everyone's needs were met - a 5* team! The challenging hikes are worth it for the variety of beautiful scenery you see across the island.

This was my first time on an organized hiking trip and my first visit to Gran Canaria, and it totally exceeded my expectations. Gran Canaria is absolutely stunning, with an impressive variety of landscapes. We were really lucky to have excellent weather, which made everything look even more special. But this trip was about so much more than just hiking. It was an opportunity to connect with a great group of like-minded people. And thanks to our amazing guides, Rachael, Pablo, and the support from Daylos, I learned so much about the island's history, wildlife and culture.

Wow what can I say. This trip was everything and more I could have hoped for. The guides Rachael and Pablo were as exceptional as the weather we were lucky to get. The walking was thoroughly enjoyable in spectacular scenery. Thanks also to Dylos for his endless enthusiasm and last but not least the fantastic group of fellow walkers.

It was my first time with MBA and I can highly recommend it.

The trip was well organized. The hikes were beautiful. There were some challenging sections but there were sufficient breaks. Our guides, Pablo and Rachael took great care of us and shared their knowlegde of the island. While Daylos took care of all the logistics and brought all the food, drinks and energy. The food and accommodation were good.

I had a fantastic time in Gran Canaria - the island exceeded my expectations. It is a truly beautiful place! We were blessed with gorgeous weather the entire time and enjoyed the truly spectacular views. Our guides, Pablo and Rachael, were phenomenal and took care of us so well throughout the trip. With the help of Dylos who took care of all the logistics and brought all the energy. The hikes were challenging but very well paced, with sufficient breaks. Walking poles are available and I recommend them especially for the last day which is mostly downhill. Food was plentiful and really good ( I would only vote down the carrot salad and also suggest more time at the bar with the beautiful sunset view!) The accommodation is varied, some places were definitely nicer. But we were staying in very rural parts of the island so some more basic accommodation was to be expected. And last but not least, our group was great, made up almost entirely of solo travellers. We had a great time together on and off the trails. This was the perfect escape from the UK winter and I highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

5 stars. Wonderful guides, great route, nice off the beaten track places to stay and eat. A great week in the enjoyable company of like minded people.

Gran Canaria has so much more to offer than you may think. I was blown away by its beauty. The trek is classified as challenging and although there were a couple of long days with quite a lot of elevational change, everyone coped without difficulty. The group was made up of 14 solo travellers so do not hesitate to do this trip on your own. The weather was glorious and each day ended with an amazing sunset. The accommodation was pretty good for this type of trip being fairly comfortable with hot showers. Everyone on the trip was lovely and conversation flowed everyday. If you fancied quiet time you just had to fall back to the end of the line. Our guides were Rachel and Celeste, backed up by Pablo in the van. They could not have done more for us. I highly recommend this trip, it really is a much better adventure. Book it, you won’t regret it.

It was a good tour in general. The food was plenty, maybe even too much. Accommodations mostly ok, though the description need to be changed be changed because we shared bathroom facilities with 3-5 people, not 2-3. We should manage expectations of future travellers. The itinerary was great, I enjoyed wine/food tasting and guides stories about the island.

First ever MBA trip, and what an amazing way to start!

The group was amazing and really friendly, and gelled really well. The guides were excellent and knowledgeable, and made you feel like part of a big adventure. The weather was fabulous, and honestly I can't fault my experience.

I'll definitely be booking another one.

The challenge was also good, intense but not impossible or unsustainable. I could have happily done another day of hiking, especially given the amazing views.

This trip exceeded my expectations by far. The scenery was unreal. We had fabulous guides, the food was yummy and it was very well organised. Would do again!

I have just returned from a week of traversing Gran Canaria, and what an incredible experience it has been! I honestly couldn’t have asked for more—sunny days, stunning hikes, and breathtakingly diverse landscapes.

The hikes were moderately challenging, but the guides set a great pace, always adapting to the group’s needs with care and attention. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from well-timed snack breaks to water refill stops. We were lucky to have Rachael, Celeste, and Pablo as our guides, each of whom shared their deep passion for the island and impressive knowledge. You can truly feel how much they want you to have an amazing time—and you absolutely will.

The accommodations were authentic and locally run, offering just what you need to rest and recharge for another day of adventure. The food was not only delicious but also plentiful!

Our group was diverse yet like-minded, full of outdoorsy people who made the experience even more special—it was the perfect cherry on top.

I absolutely loved this week and would highly recommend it. If you’re unsure (like I was), just go for it—you won’t regret it!

Great trip. Beautiful & varied scenery which felt fairly off the beaten track and surpassed my expectations of Gran Canaria. A great group and excellent guides. Thank you Rachel, Celeste and Pablo!

A perfectly paced, vibrant and enjoyable journey of discovery about the island and its history, courtesy of our incredibly knowledgeable and passionate guides Rachael, Celeste and Pablo, with great back office support from Ana. The trip was elevated to something even more special by the joy of meeting such a diverse range of like-minded fellow travellers, with so many friendships formed over the course of the trip, through shared values, exchanging our stories and self-expression. Huge thanks to MBA and the Climbo team for such a magical experience from start to finish!
