The GRAN CANARIA EXPEDITION – CARNIVAL EDITION is one of our craziest expeditions, it’s a 4-day expedition in which you will get to know the island and its history and most importantly you will get to experience the Canary Islands Carnival, which is an explosion of joy, music and colour. The streets are painted with festivity. The air is filled with fun and in every corner of the island, crowds and parades personify with their parody and fascination one of the most traditional festivals.

[March 04th, 2023] - CARNIVAL DAY 💃🕺
This day will be a day of great adventures, where you will experience the true carnival of the Canary Islands! prepare yourself because it is going to be a very busy day!
Trip North:
- We will leave Las Palmas and go north to a more wild area! We will go to the only place that cultivates and produce coffee in European territory! That is one of our secret places(far from massive tourist buildings). There, we will learn a bit about the local environment and culture, the process of coffee making and try some local cheeses, wines, and jellies.
- Then, another secret place that only locals know!!! We will stop at a lighthouse and discover hidden pools! But not regular pools, natural poolsshaped over centuries on the rocky coast of Gran Canaria.
Carnival activity:
- Finally we celebrate one of the biggest and greatest carnivals in the world (the second after Rio de Janeiro’s).
*Free time during Carnival and free costumes offered.
[March 05th, 2023] - Sea and mountain day 🏝️⛰️
- The morning is dedicated to the bravest who can wake up from a night of hangover from the carnival night to have a surf lesson
- Sea & Mountain Trip, from the paradisiacal beach of Amadores to the peak of Gran Canaria: try the thrill of the thermal variation between one place and the other, which usually goes from 30 degrees to 5 degrees at sunset.
- Next to the beach we will discover a sea cave known only by locals (you can swim in it) and at the peak of Gran Canaria we will see the sunset (we can see the sun go down on the teide, mountain/volcano of approx 4000m, the highest in Spain) and we are usually above the clouds.
- Just after sunset, we will be able to see the constellations (the Canary Islands is a privileged place for astronomical observation, even Steve Hawking used to travel to the Canary Islands for this).
