You’ll slide over rock pools, walk through forest, learn rope descents, visit caves, pause for snacks, and receive a free photo report. No prior canyoning experience is needed, but moderate fitness is.
“This was possibly one of the BEST things we've ever done. We have visited GC many times before and never had the courage to try something like this, but decided it was time. We had no idea really what it would involve but Rocknatour and Pablo just absolutely took care of everything. The whole experience of abseiling, hiking, walking ... it was the most thrilling, glorious, exhausting day. It pushed us a little with our fitness and that was exactly what we needed. We slept like babies that night! There were moments we were all a little nervous as we'd never done anything like it before but Pablo made us…”
RockNatour’s four-hour Atlantic Mountains route combines a cliff hike, an ancient aboriginal cave, guided abseiling, sea-level climbing, a chain pass, a 35-meter zipline, and snorkeling. Pablo leads the small groups, supplying harnesses, helmets, safety ropes, and instruction. No prior experience is required, but you need moderate fitness and a taste for heights.
“Challenging but very rewarding. One of the best experiences we have been taken on. A very enjoyable day out with Pablo. He was professional and keen. Great explanations and encouragement throughout the activities. Unforgettable memories. Would love to do again if we come back to Gran Canaria!!”
Join a small group of up to 14 for a five-hour coasteering trip from Taurito to the cliffs near Puerto de Mogán. Your English- or Spanish-speaking guide supplies safety gear, insurance, a picnic, and photos.

Hotel pickup, equipment, photos, and a group capped at eight are included, but you need sturdy waterproof shoes and good fitness.
“Viktor was super goed en grappig! Viktor bleef lachen en is een echt vakman. Hij zorgt voor ieders veiligheid, legt goed uit en doet alles met een lach.”
RockNatour takes you into Gran Canaria’s only year-round water-filled canyon for a four-hour, small-group adventure.

Guides such as Pablo and Pedro provide clear instruction, safety gear, Canarian snacks, hot tea, and free photos.
“Guiden var meget hjælpsom og fyldt med positiv energi der smittede af på alle. God til at instruere, fortælle og inddrage historie og geologi i turen”

“This combination of hiking, abseiling, via ferrata and snorkelling was brilliant - I highly recommend this activity. Pablo was a fun guide, made us feel safe and also taught us some of the history of our surroundings. Absolutely worth the money!”
