✨ New Year’s Eve in Gran Canaria: sunshine, ocean and new friends

Celebrate the start of 2027 in Gran Canaria from December 31, 2026 to January 5, 2027! ☀️🥂

If you’re looking for a different way to celebrate New Year’s Eve this year, leave the cold weather behind and get ready to welcome the New Year by the ocean, surrounded by new friends.

From golden beaches and volcanic landscapes to colorful villages, from hiking around Roque Nublo to sailing along the coast on a catamaran: this 6-day, 5-night group trip to Gran Canaria combines nature, fun, local culture and plenty of time to relax.

On the night of December 31, we’ll celebrate together with a special New Year’s Eve dinner among friends, followed by the Spanish tradition of eating twelve grapes at midnight, a New Year’s toast, fireworks over the ocean and a night out in the lively atmosphere of Las Palmas. 🎆

This trip is especially designed for solo travelers who want to meet new people while exploring the island as part of a small international group of no more than 5 participants.

🌞 Why join this group trip to Gran Canaria?

☀️ New Year’s Eve in the sunshine: While much of Europe is in the middle of winter, Gran Canaria offers mild temperatures, sunny days and the chance to start the New Year with a walk along the beach.

🥂 An authentic New Year’s Eve experience in the Canary Islands: This is more than just a holiday. We’ll celebrate like locals with dinner among friends, the traditional twelve grapes at midnight, a New Year’s toast, fireworks by the ocean and a night out in Las Palmas.

Unique experiences between ocean and nature: We’ll sail along the southern coast of the island on a catamaran, explore the Maspalomas Dunes, discover the volcanic landscapes around Roque Nublo and taste locally grown coffee in the Agaete Valley.

🌍 A small multicultural group: Traveling solo? No problem! This won’t be a typical organized tour. Instead, you’ll be part of a small group of travelers from different countries. We’ll speak Italian, Spanish and English, creating an international, spontaneous and welcoming atmosphere.

With a maximum of 5 participants, it’s easy to get to know each other, share experiences and make new friends along the way.

🌟 Who is this trip for

✔️ Anyone who wants to celebrate New Year’s Eve differently, in the sunshine and by the ocean
✔️ Solo travelers looking to meet new travel buddies
✔️ Travelers who enjoy a mix of nature, beaches, local culture and fun
✔️ Anyone looking for a small international group rather than a traditional organized tour
✔️ Ideally suited to travelers aged approximately 29–45

🗓 Detailed Itinerary

📅 December 31 – Arrival in Gran Canaria & New Year’s Eve celebration 🥂

Welcome to Gran Canaria! Arrival at Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) and transfer to our accommodation in Las Palmas.

After check-in and some time to get ready, we’ll meet for a special New Year’s Eve dinner among friends, included in the package. It will be our first moment together and the perfect opportunity to get to know each other and start the trip in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Before midnight, we’ll head towards Las Canteras, where we’ll welcome the New Year together by the ocean and watch the fireworks. Afterwards, we’ll continue celebrating with music, concerts and events around Las Canteras and Santa Catalina. 🎆🎶

*The final location for the New Year’s Eve celebrations will be confirmed according to the official event program. To join the dinner and celebrations, we recommend choosing a flight that arrives in Gran Canaria by 4:00 PM on December 31.

📅 January 1 – Start the New Year among mountains and volcanic landscapes 🌄

After the previous night’s celebrations, we’ll take it easy in the morning and set off later in the day to explore the mountainous heart of Gran Canaria.

We’ll visit Teror, one of the island’s most traditional villages, before continuing to Tejeda, a picturesque mountain village surrounded by spectacular volcanic landscapes.

In the afternoon, we’ll reach the Roque Nublo area, home to one of Gran Canaria’s most iconic natural landmarks. Depending on the weather conditions and the group’s energy levels, we can either enjoy the panoramic hike (included) or admire the scenery and sunset from one of the island’s most beautiful viewpoints.

In the evening, we’ll return to Las Palmas, where we can have a quick and easy dinner (not included) at the B&B before getting some rest and recharging for the next day.

We’ll then have time to stop at Anfi del Mar, where we can relax on the beach, or visit Puerto de Mogán, known for its whitewashed houses, canals and charming atmosphere. The final choice will depend on the timing and organization of the day.

In the afternoon, we’ll board a catamaran for a cruise along Gran Canaria’s spectacular coastline, enjoying the sunset from the ocean. On board, we’ll have time to relax, listen to music, soak up the sun and snorkel in the Atlantic Ocean. The experience includes a swimming stop, food and drinks. 🌅

📅 January 3 – Northern Gran Canaria, Gáldar & the Coffee Valley ☕

Today we’ll explore the north of Gran Canaria, one of the island’s greenest and most authentic areas.

We’ll then continue to the Agaete Valley to visit the only coffee plantation in Europe. The guided visit and tasting of locally grown coffee and other local products are included.

We’ll finish the day in Puerto de las Nieves, a picturesque fishing village overlooking the ocean, where we can take a walk and enjoy the sunset.

È stata una delle esperienze più belle della mia vita, e tutto grazie alla gentilezza, alla professionalità di Roberta, ideatrice del programma My Friend In. Attraverso il sito web, disponibile in tre lingue, io e un mio amico abbiamo acquistato diversi pacchetti per il nostro primo viaggio a Gran Canaria. Vi consiglio assolutamente le escursioni, abbiamo esplorato posti bellissimi come il Barranco de las vacas dove abbiamo scattato delle bellissime foto, spiagge paradisiache come quella di Anfi e Amadores e piccoli villaggi coloratissimi come il porto di Mogán, le dune di maspalomas etc..: Questo viaggio non solo ci ha regalato emozioni bellissime ma anche una nuova amica! Grazie Roby, sicuramente ci rivedremo presto!

Travelling for Gran Canaria and choosing My Friend In was one of the best decisions for our holidays . A wonderful experience thanks to the knowledge and organization of My friend in which led us to discover wonderful places such as Anfi del Mar, the Maspalomas Dunes, Mogan, Las Palmas and many others. With Roberta, an incredible and friendly Woman more than a guide , she accompanied us through this journey making us feel like real locals visiting the whole island in comfort and carefree. Completely in love with the island thanks also to all these adventures. Absolutely recommended!!!

Mi primera experiencia “solo” en Sudamérica, decidí viajar a Mexico (Yucatán). Pero no solo del todo, porque decidí contratar el maravilloso plan de viaje que ofrece My friend In. Roberta, que es la artífice de este genial proyecto, me asesoró en todo momento sobre lo vuelos más baratos, los alojamientos con mejor calidad precio y un itinerario completo de más de 1.000km por todo el Yucatán e incluyendo actividades que personalmente me gustan como buceo o visita a cenotes. Además, pude disfrutar de su compañía como guía y de su experiencia en viajes, durante toda la expedición. Honestamente es una persona maravillosa y entregada a su proyecto y clientes. 100% recomendable, sin duda, repetiré en otro destino.
