The year-round sunshine is perfect for sun-bathing; water conditions tempt swimmers, divers and anyone seeking unending enjoyment. Wind conditions during the day provide ample scope for windsurfing, deep-sea fishing and sailing. The climate offers just the right warmth and cool breeze to encourage thrill-seekers embark on island excursions, hiking, cycling and walking.
For visitors who rest less satisfied with beach activities and soaking the sun on a lounger, or hesitant to venture out alone on the adventure trail, Gran Canaria’s beach resorts organize trips around the island. Tourists who visit in summer are more likely to enjoy the fishing trips that set off from the Puerto Rico, Pasito Blanco and Puerto de Mogan ports. There are also trips to the water park of Aquasur and Ocean Park and bird and animal parks of Palmitos and Crocodile Parks. A dip in the dive sites of Las Palmas, El Cabron, and Pasito Blanco, or a camel safari on the sand dunes of Las Maspalomas is the perfect way to wind up an eventful day.
