How the pick-up actually works
Gran Canaria excursions with hotel pick-up
Most of what we run starts with a minibus outside your hotel. This page is about that part: which resorts the driver covers, roughly when he turns up, and the point on the map where the pick-up simply stops.

View detailsWhich resorts the driver covers
Collection runs along one stretch of coast: the arc between Maspalomas and Mogán. That takes in Playa del Inglés, San Agustín, Meloneras, Puerto Rico, Amadores, Taurito and Puerto de Mogán. Seven of the nine activities carry that transfer inside the price you are quoted, so there is nothing to hand over on the day.
If your hotel is on a pedestrian street or inside a large complex, the meeting point is usually the nearest road a minibus can stop on, not the reception door. We send the exact spot on WhatsApp the evening before, with your time.
What time you will be collected
The group catamarans leave Puerto Rico at 10:30, so collection lands correspondingly earlier depending on where you are staying. The boat party casts off at 15:00 with pick-up around 14:00. The jeep safari is a half-day trip out of Maspalomas. Times shift with the number of stops on that run, so yours is confirmed the night before rather than printed as a fixed hour.
If the driver can't find you
Be outside five minutes early, phone on, our number saved. If the minibus pulls up and nobody is waiting, the driver gives it a few minutes and moves on, because everyone else aboard has a boat to catch. Message us the moment you realise. Sometimes we can add you to a later stop; sometimes the boat has gone. Better read now than argued about at 09:40.
The two departures that don't include the transfer
- Boat party: the transfer is charged separately at €5 per person, there and back, on top of the trip itself from €59.
- Private speedboat: there is no pick-up at all. It leaves from the harbour at Puerto de Mogán, and your group meets it there.
- Everything else has it folded in: both group catamarans, the buggy tour, the jet ski + buggy package, the 4x4 jeep safari, the jet ski safari and diving.
Where the pick-up stops
We do not collect from Las Palmas, the north of the island, Puerto de las Nieves or the airport: too far out of the way to fold into a route that still has to reach everyone else on time. Staying outside the arc does not rule you out: drive to the departure point yourself and you can join anything. That means the harbour at Puerto Rico for the catamarans, the jet skis and the buggies, the harbour at Puerto de Mogán for the private speedboat, and Maspalomas for the jeep safari.
Where each excursion leaves from
The departure point is where the activity begins, not where you are collected.

Frequently asked questions
Is the pick-up included in the price I am quoted?
On seven of the nine activities, yes. The two exceptions are the boat party, whose transfer is billed separately at €5 per person there and back, and the private speedboat, which has no pick-up at all because it leaves from the harbour at Puerto de Mogán.
Can you collect us from an apartment rather than a hotel?
Usually, as long as it is inside the Maspalomas–Mogán arc. Send the address on WhatsApp and we will tell you the nearest point a minibus can stop.
