Guided Group Ride: From Sea to Summit!

Canary Islands, Spain · Road Touring · 1 days


Get ready for a thrilling adventure that will take you from sea level to the highest point on Gran Canaria! Our 'Sea to Summit' full-day motorcycle tour offers riders the chance to experience the island’s diverse and spectacular scenery. Starting from the vibrant city of Las Palmas, you’ll ride along the dramatic northern coast before climbing into the heart of the island, where endless twists, turns, and breathtaking views await. Feel the adrenaline as you ascend to El Morro de la Agujerada, the island’s highest peak at 1,956 meters. Along the way, we’ll stop at some of Gran Canaria’s most iconic landmarks, including pine-tree forests, volcanic landscapes, and picturesque villages, giving you plenty of opportunities to capture incredible photos. During our lunch stop, we will enjoy a delicious, authentic Canarian tapas lunch at one of our favourite restaurants. After reaching the summit, we’ll descend along winding mountain roads and make a few short stops at both amazing view points and historic sites. Once we're back in the Capital, we'll park the bikes and gather at Las Canteras city beach for some post-ride refreshments and farewells, and hopefully; until next time! Led by our expert multi-lingual guide with over 25 years of riding experience, this tour promises not just a ride, but an unforgettable adventure packed with excitement, camaraderie, and stunning landscapes. Whether you're a solo rider or bringing a passenger, this is the ultimate way to discover the very best of Gran Canaria on two wheels!
