What to expect

Puerto de Mogan is said by many to be the most beautiful town in Gran Canaria, and once you've set eyes on its toytown houses, it's hard to argue. This tour brings you by boat, docking right in the heart of the harbour after a scenic approach, so you avoid long walks from out-of-town parking lots. Maria, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Mogan market is a classic in Gran Canaria, known all over the island. And to arrive in the town by boat gives you that a spine-tingling sensation you get in anticipation of a special experience.'

Sailing from Puerto Rico harbour, you'll glide along the rocky, volcanic coastline of the south before arriving at Puerto de Mogan. Cupped into cliffs at the mouth of a steep valley, it's known as ‘Little Venice' for its canal, blue-and-yellow-trimmed white cottages, wrought iron balconies and flower-festooned lanes. Traits that have made it very popular.

Arriving by boat, you're in the middle of all the action straight away. Only we bring you to and from Puerto de Mogan by sea. Antonio, another of our local guides, say, ‘If you arrive by coach, not only is the journey less scenic but you have to walk a fair bit to get to the waterfront.' You'll have free time to poke around the stalls selling typical Canarian products or just relax at one of the many terraced cafés overlooking the yachts. Oh, and there's also an enticing sandy beach to stretch out on, too.

    Both driver and tour guide were lovely! The trip went very smoothly. We enjoyed looking around and having some lovely paella at one of the restaurants! Lots of souvenir shops to look round, two hours was a good amount of time for us.

    Boat ride was good although we thought the journey was going to be longer than 30 minutes. Mogán was beautiful but again only getting to spend 3 hours there was not really long enough to enjoy exploring, the food, shopping and the beach.

    Transfer ride was good. Guide was very informative. Was disappointed on the size of the boat to Puerto de Mogan. 350 people on the same experience seemed very impersonal and we felt like cattle getting on and off boat. Also we were not told that we had to queue in a specific place so waited 45 mins for return ferry to realise that they were queuing on the other side and we had to go right to the back of the queue. Poor communication. Staff on boat on way to were friendly and port was beautiful

    The guide was lovely and friendly. You could organise this by yourself with no time restraints but we still had the best time.

    Very disappointing ! Not up to tui usual standard Unclear instructions for bus pick up and hotel staff unhelpful. The guide did not explain we should have met another guide at the drop off location after boat ride. Communication very poor and we ended up missing guided tour. Worse thing of all we booked the trip solely to visit the market only to arrive to be told there wasn’t one due to bank holiday ! Can’t believe we wasted our money , I feel we should be given a full refund or credit.
