2026 guided walking tours
Step Into the Wild Side of the Canaries
Our walking holidays across the Canaries showcase a side of the islands that most tourists don’t get to see. Away from the well-trodden beaches, you’ll find canyons, mountains, and volcanoes, with a stunning panoramic view never too far away. All of our Canary Islands walking holidays are led by expert hiking guides, and you’ll be joining a group of sociable travellers, who you’ll share unforgettable experiences with and can reflect on your adventures over a glass of wine during our evening meals.
With our 2026 trips departing in January, February, and March, a walking trip to the Canaries is the perfect way to shake off those winter blues and make the new year one to remember.
