Wondering if Gran Canaria is the island for you, or just missing the place and needing a bit of a sunshine fix before your next visit? Here are six ways to visit Gran Canaria online, all with great photos and videos of the island as well as useful information. 

360º virtual tour

The Canary Islands Tourist Board has a fantastic 360º virtual tour of Gran Canaria (and the other Canary Islands) that lets you soar over the island's top highlights. It includes the Maspalomas dunes, Roque Nublo, the Bandama Caldera, Puerto de Mogán and Las Canteras beach. The footage is stunning and you can zoom in and move around each place. This is like Google Maps but in high definition and well worth playing around with.

Photos Gran Canaria

Our collection of over 5000 top quality Gran Canaria photos, all keyworded and ready to look through. Just search for the place you want to see and all the photos we've taken will come up. For example, here are 450 photos of Puerto de Mogán to keep you happy until you next walk under the bougainvillea arches. 

GranCanaria.com

The Gran Canaria tourist board website has a great selection of island highlights and routes to explore. We like the way they've divided the island into zones so that you can plan your day. We also love their guide to the best viewpoints in Gran Canaria. 

Gran Canaria Info

You're already here but don't forget to have a good look round. Gran Canaria Info has been online since 1998 and is by far the best known and trusted source of information about the island. Don't miss our guide to Gran Canaria's best beaches and towns, and our weather section with a monthly guide to Gran Canaria's weather.

This is just the most useful webcam in south Gran Canaria because it moves back and forth and shows you the weather from Puerto Rico to Maspalomas. On those occasional cloudy days it's good to get up and know which way to head for the sunshine.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
