Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Drift into the ink-black Atlantic where the Canary Sea becomes one of Earth's darkest skies. A resident astronomer guides you through the Milky Way, planets, and nebulae via high-powered telescopes — a bucket-list moment that few travellers ever experience.
Plunge into Gran Canaria's iconic golden dune sea by private 4×4, venturing deep into the protected biosphere where the Sahara meets the Atlantic. Spot rare birds, climb crescent dunes to the horizon, and descend to a hidden lagoon — all at your own pace.
Ascend to Gran Canaria's volcanic heart — the 1,813 m basalt monolith of Roque Nublo, a sacred Guanche site that pierces the clouds above the island. A private expert guide leads you through ancient caldera trails to a summit panorama stretching to Teide on clear days.
Arrive at Gran Canaria's most enchanting village entirely by sea — gliding into the flower-draped canal quarter of Puerto de Mogán aboard a private charter. Anchor in turquoise coves inaccessible by road, snorkel pristine reefs, and lunch at a harbourfront terrace on the freshest seafood on the island.
Step inside the only pre-Hispanic painted cave open to the public in the Canary Islands — the extraordinary Cueva Pintada of Gáldar, where Guanche geometric murals survived intact for over 600 years. A private art historian guide reveals a civilisation that vanished but left its colours on the stone.
Tour the magnificent neo-Gothic Destilerías Arehucas — producer of the Canary Islands' most celebrated rum since 1884 — with a private cellar master guide, then continue through Gran Canaria's lush northern coast for a chef-led tasting of local cheeses, wines, and market produce.
