Excursions and activities for solo travelers
The travel season is starting. Traveling inevitably changes your perspective; and especially solo travelers make exciting new experiences and get to know interesting things about a new country and its people first hand.
Whether you just want to have a rest, relax and enjoy the peace or have fun, lots of action and are looking for the absolute adrenaline kick. We have compiled a varied offer of excursions and activities for solo travelers amongst the countless different possibilities. When you travel on your own, you are in the position to just try everything you like. Seize the opportunity! Therefore, have plenty of fun traveling on your own in Gran Canaria.
It is holiday season, you want to travel and see the world. What do you do if nobody wants to join? Very simple: pack your bags, grab your travel guide and off you go! Not only singles travel alone! Many people have reservations before their first solo trip. Most will confess that it took them little courage the first time. This is perfectly normal. Even the most experienced globetrotters suffer from travel fever before traveling!
Whoever thinks that traveling alone is boring and lonely, is totally mistaking. If you travel alone, it does not mean you are going to be on your own. Especially on excursions and activities, meeting other travelers is pre-programmed. Often, a simple "hello" leads into a joint afternoon program.
Gran Canaria is ideal for solo travelers. It is a beautiful place with great sights, well-connected and with European standards. There are fantastic excursions and activities around culture, beaches, nightlife, other islands, the inland and, above all, incredibly nice people. Gran Canaria is a destination that makes it easy to enjoy travelling alone.
Whether you are going to spend your holiday in Playa del Inges, Maspalomas, Puerto Rico or Puerto de Mogan, you will spend a relaxing time in Gran Canaria: bus tours, hiking, climbing, boat trips, water sports and bicycle tours make for a great all-round fun package.
Travelling alone means unlimited freedom. The day is measured in waking up and tired, after desire, after hunger and thirst. When do you ever have the freedom not to have to constantly watch the clock? The freedom to only do what you want is simply great.
