Gran Canaria Airport Private Taxi Transfers
Gran Canaria is the third largest and second most visited of the Canary Islands. Its history stretches back to 500 BC when the island was known as Tamaran and populated by the Canarii, a North African tribe. Now, its diverse natural beauty, popular resorts and the bustling town of Las Palmas are a huge draw for hikers, loungers and party people. If you’re heading to Gran Canaria, we offer airport transfers from Gran Canaria Airport to destinations across the island
Gran Canaria is commonly referred to as a continent in miniature due to the vast variety of climates and landscapes found throughout it. This diversity is in large part what has helped to contribute to the island’s popularity and has made it a go-to destination for the outdoorsy.
For a taste of the islands natural beauty, the adventurous can jump into a car and explore. If you’re after a more itinerant approached, begin at the Roque Nublo. This 80-meter monolith stands in the island’s dead center 1,813 meters above sea level. About 35 kilometers east is the Guayadeque Ravine, which boasts fantastic walks and ancient cave dwellings dug into the cliffsides. The Dunas de Maspalomas offers a surreal experience as the desert meets the beach in these 400 hectares of protected sands.
Culture Vultures can while away afternoons in Las Palmas, which is home to a great selection of museums. El Museo Canario, first established in 1879, centers itself on the archeological, ethnographical and artistic history of the island. The exhibitions in Las Palmas’ gorgeous contemporary art museum, the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM), continually rotate and showcase a diverse range of fantastic artworks.
Those after a beach holiday will be spoiled for choice. If you’re staying in Las Palmas, then Las Canteras is where to head. Located on the city’s edge, the beach’s calm waters are popular with tourists and locals alike. On the island’s southwest coast, Puerto Rico beach offers up white sands, palm trees, and crystal clear waters, perfect for a family beach day. Foodies should make for Melenara where a smaller bay beach boasts a promenade with some fantastic seafood restaurants.

FAQs
What travellers ask before travelling to Gran Canaria.
How do I get from Gran Canaria Airport to my hotel?
Most of Gran Canaria's popular hotels and resorts, including Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Costa Meloneras and Puerto Rico, are in the south of the island. Reaching them from Gran Canaria Airport typically takes 20 to 50 minutes, depending on your exact destination and traffic. You can take an airport taxi or use public buses, though public transport may involve waiting, fixed timetables, or extra stops along the route.
Is Gran Canaria Airport close to Las Palmas?
Yes. Las Palmas is around 25 km from the airport and can be reached in 20 to 25 minutes. However, most holiday destinations are located further south.
How much is a private transfer from Gran Canaria Airport?
The price depends on your destination and the type of vehicle. Shorter trips, such as to Las Palmas, cost less, while transfers to the south of the island like Puerto Rico are higher. Your final price also depends on whether you are bringing a bicycle, golf clubs or extra luggage. You will always see the full price before booking, so you know exactly what to expect.
How do I get from Gran Canaria Airport to Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés?
Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés are in the south of Gran Canaria, around 30 to 35 km from the airport. The journey usually takes 25 to 30 minutes by car. A direct transfer is the simplest option, as public transport may involve waiting times and multiple stops depending on your exact destination.
How far is Puerto Rico or Amadores from the airport?
Puerto Rico and Amadores resort areas are around 45 to 50 km from the airport and typically take 35 to 45 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
Why do most travellers stay in the south of Gran Canaria?
The south of the island, including Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and Puerto Rico, has the main resort areas, beach-focused accommodations, and more consistent weather throughout the year. This is why most airport transfers are towards that part of the island rather than Las Palmas, which is primarily a local city, rather than a main holiday base.
Is it easy to get public transport from the airport to resorts?
There are bus connections, but routes to resort areas are not always direct and may require waiting or changes. Line 66 to the southern resorts of Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas runs about once an hour. Fixed bus timetables may also not match your flight arrival, which can be less convenient if you are travelling with luggage or arriving for the first time.
Are taxis available at Gran Canaria Airport?
Yes, taxi transfers are available outside the arrivals area. However, when several flights land at the same time, demand can increase quickly and waiting times may be longer. Many fares run south to the resorts like Maspalomas or Puerto Rico, so a metered taxi can be more expensive and less predictable than a fixed transfer price.
