“It was a wonderful activity. We really liked the story behind every place we visited, our guide was really prepared and even spoke 4 languages to accommodate most of the group which was an awesome. We really liked how the trip was built up, first the banana farm where we could try out the local banana along with other products made from the same bananas, then the rum distillery where we could try more than 10 different drinks, including some really exclusive ones (40+ years old). This was followed by a lunch in Ageate, then last but not least, we could try local wines, local coffee, learn how they grow…”

“The tour was great, 5 stars for that. Our tourguide Tom was excellent. The busdriver was really good, but we had to sit in a minibus for the last part. Felt unsafe, the other driver drove so fast (>120 km/h) and it was really a bumpy ride.”

3.Banana Museum, Rum Distillery & Winery guided tour with tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 12 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $83Top rated

Spend 6 to 7 hours exploring Gran Canaria’s banana-growing country, the Arehucas rum distillery, Agaete, and Bodega Los Berrazales. Your English-speaking guide, including guides such as Tom, leads tastings of banana products, rum, coffee, wine, and mojo sauce. Lunch in Agaete is optional.

“The tour takes you all over and it was unsettling to arrive at San Augustín shopping center after having travelled an hour from Las Palmas just to drive back in the direction that I came and beyond the hotel that I was staying. However, It was an enjoyable experience with great information. Tom speaks many languages but it was a lot to keep up with his tandem translations.”
