Begin the adventure in the south of the island with two nights in the picturesque Puerto de Mogan. Climb up to the centre of the volcanic island to Pico de las Nieves – the highest point of Gran Canaria and home to spectacular 360 degree views. On a clear day it’s possible to see Mont Teide on Tenerife. From Puerto Mogan ride north via the leg-busting, breathtaking Valley of the Tears – a climb that will break the legs of the strongest cyclist (don’t worry, we’ll be on hand to support every pedal stroke and offer a ride to the top!) but rewards the effort with stunning scenery all the way up. At the top of the climb is our resting place for the night in the Parador at the Cruz de Tejedor, a rural retreat in the clouds. The following day brings respite as our route descends to the north of the island and the volcanic beach of Agaete. Choose to ride further out and back along the rugged coast road or check-in to the hotel spa & relax!

Day 5 brings an early start & ferry ride across to Tenerife. Climb from the coast to the summit of Mont Teide, a climb that represents a huge challenge to cyclists from all over the world every year. Enjoy an evening on Tenerife before returning to Gran Canaria for our final ride of the tour, a rollercoaster ride through the lush green landscapes & villages in the north of Gran Canaria.

Stay in handpicked 4* hotels throughout the tour, enjoy a wide range of dining experiences selected to showcase the best cuisine on the islands and enjoy full support from our team.

FOOD

Full-board - breakfast, lunch & evening meals

The tour was an incredible experience from start to finish. They prepare you very well for this trip. They are extremely attentive to all questions before the trip begins. The booking process was simple and they helped with hotel upgrades and accommodated my wife who was not cycling. Having the cafe and bike shop in a central location in Girona was perfect. The bikes were great. The food, drinks and camaraderie at the Cafe were a nice bonus. From the moment we met the team they made us feel welcome, safe, and fully supported. The guides were kind, friendly, funny, and encouraged us to seek new heights (literally) on the bike. They were all perfect gentlemen to my wife and made her feel included on the trip despite her not cycling with us. They were all so attentive to everyone's needs during the trip whether they be dietary or road safety or anything in between. Josep, Chris, Zippy, and Chris were class act guys, incredible cyclists and just a blast to be around. Lunch set ups during our rides were superb - ice cold drinks, nourishing, delicious and healthy food. Coffee stops were thoughtful and a nice bonus. They put on fantastic meal spreads at the most scenic spots when our tanks were empty and ready to be refilled. Ride support before and during the rides was exceptional. The hotel we stayed at (Nord - an upgrade) was a lovely spot in town with excellent breakfasts, small soaking pool, bike storage, friendly english speaking staff and clean comfortable rooms. Lastly each night we were guided to a different restaurant with the team and our whole group. Many of us became friends and still communicate on Strava now. The restaurant selections were wonderful as each restaurant was different than the other in terms of cuisine, ambience, and level of formality - it was honestly a great mix and high quality food which was important given that it was included in the package. A nice perk during the trip was that a media team traveled with us for video and photos to help with their promotion. They were a nice crew and made us feel like superstars. In summary I cannot say enough about this company and about their people - this trip was incredible. The value was excellent also. My friend and our wives who accompanied us reminisce about this trip often. I recommend them to everyone now . . . and we are planning our next trip with them already for next year. Thank you so much!
