Itinerary
Start your Las Palmas sightseeing tour aboard the open-top double-decker Hop-On Hop-Off bus and enjoy the freedom to explore the city at your own pace. Your Premium Experience gives you 48 hours of unlimited sightseeing, allowing you to hop off whenever a landmark, museum, beach or neighbourhood catches your attention. With one convenient route and 11 stops, it is an easy way to discover the highlights of Las Palmas without worrying about navigating public transport.
Begin at Parque Santa Catalina, one of the city's lively meeting points, and enjoy panoramic views as the bus travels through Las Palmas. Along the route, you can see important landmarks and neighbourhoods including El Corte Inglés, Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, Paseo de la Cornisa and Pueblo Canario. The open-top bus provides excellent views of the city while multilingual commentary helps you learn more about the places you pass.
Make your way to Vegueta, the historic heart of Las Palmas. Dating back to the 15th century, this atmospheric district is filled with historic buildings, charming streets and cultural landmarks. Use your included Vegueta guided walking tour to discover more about the neighbourhood and its fascinating history. The walking tour is available from Monday to Saturday at scheduled times.
One of the major highlights is the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Ana. Your Premium Experience includes admission to the cathedral and its tower, giving you the opportunity to admire the architecture and enjoy elevated views across Las Palmas. You can also visit the Museum of Sacred Art, home to an impressive collection of Spanish religious art.
Continue your cultural discovery with access to attractions such as Museo Canario, Museo Elder, Castillo de la Luz and Museo La Rekompensa, subject to their individual opening days and times. This combination of sightseeing and attraction entry makes the Premium Experience particularly convenient for travellers who want to see more of Las Palmas in one ticket.
When you are ready for some time by the Atlantic, hop off at Playa de Las Canteras. This spectacular urban beach stretches for around three kilometres and is an ideal place to relax, enjoy the sea views or take a break from sightseeing.
Your ticket also includes a 60-minute scenic boat tour departing from Wilson Quay. Sit back and enjoy a different perspective of Las Palmas from the water while taking in views of the coastline and surrounding city. The boat tour includes multilingual audio commentary and is subject to weather conditions.
With two days to explore, included attractions and flexible transportation, the Las Palmas Premium Experience lets you combine sightseeing, culture, history and beach time in one convenient Gran Canaria city tour.

Group Booking
For groups of 8 or more, please submit a group inquiry at booking@activity-crest.com. While discounted rates are not available for all tours, selected tours may qualify for special group pricing. Standard tours & activities are eligible for group discounts; however, attractions, passes, combo tickets, and related products are excluded.
Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours:
Due to the operational nature of hop-on hop-off bus tours and fluctuating daily demand, we cannot guarantee that all members of a group will be accommodated on the same bus at the same time. Seat availability varies by stop and service demand, and groups may be required to split across multiple buses and/or wait for subsequent departures.
All group members must redeem their vouchers together initially. Once redeemed, individual tickets will be issued, allowing travellers the flexibility to explore independently thereafter. The requirement to remain together applies only during the voucher redemption process when tickets are booked under a single reservation.
As we are unable to guarantee that larger groups can travel together as one unit, bookings will be divided into smaller groups of approximately 5-7 passengers per ticket allocation, depending on the overall group size.

"Usually, travelling between attractions feels like wasted time. Here, the views along the way were interesting enough that we enjoyed the journey as much as the destinations."
"Travelling with family was easier when we had a straightforward way to move between areas. Everyone enjoyed the scenery, and we could choose stops together as we went."
"We completed the route without getting off initially and enjoyed seeing the city from beginning to end. It helped us choose which places deserved a closer visit."
