Gran Canaria Experience from Tenerife

Worlds-Largest-Curved-Glass-Poem-of-the-Sea

Visit the island of Gran Canaria from Tenerife to visit the best aquarium in Europe: Poema del Mar, the famous Arehucas distillery and the historic district of Vegueta.

Description of the experience

We will travel by ferry from Tenerife to Gran Canaria in the fastest and most comfortable way.

After arriving at Puerto de Las Nieves in Agaete we will head to our first stop: Arehucas distilleries. Here we will learn the secret of the uniqueness of their rums, a journey through history, tradition and the good work of Arehucas. In addition, they will explain the process of making rums: the visit will allow you to tour one of the oldest rum cellars in Europe. And a tasting of rums and liqueurs, to end on a high note!

Then we will head for the Poema del Mar aquarium, located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This theme park, located in the grounds of Puerto de la Luz and Las Palmas was inaugurated on December 17, 2017, presents the majesty of nature in three incomparable environments: jungle, beach reef and deep ocean.
Within its facilities, around 12,500 square meters, 35 marine and river ecosystems from all over the planet are concentrated. It pays tribute with its name and architectural lines to the Canary Island artist Néstor de la Torre, who stood out in the avant-garde of the early twentieth century, and his pictorial work "Poemas del Atlántico" (Poems of the Atlantic) inspired the name of the aquarium.
It has the largest curved glass in the world (a methacrylate weighing 140 tons, 36 meters long and seven meters high) exhibiting some 350 species from 35 ecosystems, in enclosures where you can see everything from sharks, piranhas, freshwater stingrays and eyeless fish, to crocodiles and sea dragons!

Our last stop will be the picturesque historic district of Vegueta in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Here we will take a walking tour through its streets full of culture and history.
After this visit, we will return to Puerto de las Nieves (Agaete) to leave for Tenerife.
