Sky Rebels is a local guiding company based in Maspalomas, Canarias, offering authentic, small-group adventures across Gran Canaria. Led by native guides, the operation presents five core experiences: the Barranco de las Vacas cave and farmhouse tour with guides Inés and Juanjo; a rainforest hike in Barranco de los Cernícalos; a Roque Nublo and Gran Canaria highlights hike; a full-day route to Tejeda, Pico de las Nieves and volcanic craters; and customizable private tours for up to six passengers.
Sky Rebels emphasizes small groups and personal attention to deliver immersive cultural and natural experiences. Trip formats range from a half-day cave and village tour to full-day mountain hikes, and most excursions include a picnic—either homemade Canarian fare for private groups or simple sandwiches and fruit on guided hikes. Guides are native to the island and focus on local history, aboriginal cave sites, traditional farmhouses, and the island's distinctive flora and fauna.
All departures originate from the Maspalomas area, and capacity limits (maximum six passengers on private tours) help avoid crowded routes while enabling tailored itineraries. Sky Rebels provides practical pre-trip details on difficulty and packing, and designs routes to reveal hidden gems and quieter landscapes away from mass tourism. The company positions itself as an alternative to commercial mass tours by offering knowledgeable native guides, curated routes, and an emphasis on respectful exploration of Gran Canaria's cultural and natural heritage.
