Banana World Guided Tour

  • 253 reviews | 2,613 travellers
    An interesting visit in which we were able to learn a little more about the history of bananas, from their origin, details about their cultivation and different varieties. All of this was guided by Steve, our guide, who was very kind and knowledgeable about the subject. Finally, finishing off the experience with a tasting of different products was a real pleasure. It was an experience that was of interest to us and at a very reasonable price.

Banana World Guided Tour

At the indicated time we'll meet at the entrance of the Banana World, a plantation that offers visitors a complete look into how the most characteristic fruit of the Canary Islands is produced.

During the tour, we'll walk around the farm and see up to 30 different types of banana trees, some coming from as far away as Indonesia. We'll explain the characteristics of the Canary Island banana while we learn about how these crops in Gran Canaria are cared for on a daily basis.

We'll also visit the old farmhouse of the estate, which dates back to 1804 and houses an interpretation center that will allow us to delve deeper into the local banana culture.

After learning all the secrets of this precious fruit, we'll enter the Banana World store. There, we'll enjoy a tasting that includes a banana and different products made with this raw material. You'll be able to taste jams, cakes, and even shots!

After a 45-minute tour, we'll end the guided visit to the Banana World. You can leave the facilities or stay longer to explore the farm at your leisure. It's up to you!
