Highlights
  • XG75+XW El Roque - The adventure starts walking for 20 minutes in a trail between the mountains with views of this natural reserve, one of the last with the original rainforest. From this high position we can learn about the geology of Gran Canaria and its history. Then we will arrive to the canyon where the water flows everyday. It’s time for canyoning! The guide will explain you everything: you don’t need experience, only a normal fitness. The first part is really fun, short slides to get ready for action. But the second part is even better! You will learn how to abseil with ropes and then you can do it by yourself, always assisted by a professional guide. In each part of the canyon you will learn and try different tecniques. When we finish, we will come back to the starting point following in an old trail, where we can stop to have a snack with amazing views and caves.

You can rent shoes with us if you need them.

Canyoning - I went with my partner and we enjoyed it like children. Pablo treated us and another couple like no one else, making us live every moment. Explaining to us every part of the Canarian nature, giving us a snack that was crazy for us. Totally recommendable this or any activity with Pablo, it is a pleasure to book activities with people like that.

Best adventure day possible!! - 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 feel so safe and cared for as well as making us laugh heartily. So many holidays blur into a single sunny memory but doing something like this with such an experienced, passionate and friendly guide will stick long in our memories. We went as a group of 4 friends and we cannot recommend it enough. We would say it's important to wear a pair of decent old trainers with good grip, that's really important. Pablo absolutely made the experience for us, teaching us about the plants and the history and topography of GC. Next time we're back we'll be booking our next adventure! Thank you so much Pablo!

Best trip of our stay in Gran Canaria - Amazing adventure in the mountains of Gran Canaria! Pablo was an excellent guide and we realy enjoyed this trip in the (not so) cold water, the great view and the nice little picnic. He gave much information and always had e ear for our questions.

Amazing experience - It was an amazing experience. Nowhere else on the island you can experience the jungle like this. Pablo knows so much about the history and nature and loves to tell you all about it. We learned a lot and most of all we had so much fun. Canyoning is such a great and amazing way to experience the IJsland in a unique way, with Pablo as an awesome guide.

Great experience for people at many levels and a different perspective on the beauty of Gran Canaria - Pablo is a great guide. Very knowledgeable not just about the canyon where we were, but about the island. Easy going and kind and seems to do this because he loves what he does. I went with my two sons of different ages (13 & 17) and abilities, along with a group of four others who were all in their 20s and fit. I'm 55 and not so fit. He was great with all of us and the trip captured a really different perspective of this beautiful island and was fun and adventurous. My boys both loved it. The views and the nature were great. Pablo also runs on his own a handful of other adventure tours that are all quite different and all looked great (kayaking, evening "astronomy" hike with view of central peaks, "coasteering"). If we were here longer, I would have tried them all. Very highly recommended and inspiring for my kids.

The best way to enjoy Gran Canaria - I have already done RockNatour Coastering and Mountaineering and both have been spectacular experiences. Our guide Pablo is very professional and attentive, and you have a great time with him. Thanks to these experiences you get to see places that you could never see on the island if it weren't with him, so, without a doubt, to repeat and continue adding unforgettable moments. Thank you so much for everything 🙌🏼
