Highlights

Private Las Palmas shore excursion to Teror and Bandama Caldera

Spend a day discovering Gran Canaria’s history, culture, and natural landmarks

Explore the traditional village of Teror on a walking tour and see the Basilica de la Virgen del Pino

Enjoy a wine and cheese-tasting session in a wine cellar near the caldera

When your cruise ship docks at the Port of Las Palmas, head out to enjoy a day of culture, history, and volcanic landmarks on a full-day private shore excursion! With a knowledgeable private guide at your side, walk around the charming Canarian village of Teror and visit Bandama Caldera (an ancient volcanic crater).

Finish the day with a local wine-and cheese-tasting session at a traditional wine cellar. Taste great Gran Canarian wine on this full-day shore excursion! Leave the Port of Las Palmas by air-conditioned minivan, and travel out of the city to the traditional Canarian village of Teror, some 14 miles (22km) from Las Palmas.

Almost unchanged for centuries, the charming village is home to colonial architecture, markets, and history-rich churches. On a walking tour, learn how Teror is recognized as a place of Christian pilgrimage, and see the famous Baroque church — Basilica de la Virgen del Pino — built to celebrate the Virgin Mary, who locals refer to as 'our lady of the pines.' In the afternoon, hit the highway and travel to Bandama Caldera.

The 4,000-year-old volcanic crater measures some 656 feet, 200 meters deep, and is covered in volcanic ash as well as some interesting species of Gran Canaria plants.

Enjoy some free time to take photos of the impressive natural feature and maybe enjoy a coffee at a nearby golf course. Before returning to the Port of Las Palmas, call in at a local wine cellar near the caldera. Enjoy a tasting of local red and white wines alongside a selection of artisan cheeses. After learning about wine production in Gran Canaria and the mineral-rich volcanic soil, return to your minivan, and then finish your day with a drop-off at the port. Worry-free Shore
