Aqualand Maspalomas, often referred to as Aquasur, is the largest fun water park in Gran Canaria. Visitors can resort here to the fastest water fun facilities, such as Kamikaze, Anaconda, Tornado, Adrenalina, Rapids, Congo River (an ideal place for the traditional siesta). Tourists can also resort to the so-called Surf Beach, where they can feel the sand and waves, just like on any given beach, without leaving the park; a mini-park for kids' entertainment and a mini-golf course should also be noted.
As expected, all these facilities are impressive in their own way, but the most special activity one can indulge in while at Aqualand Maspalomas is to swim with the sea lions.
Tenerife, El Hierro, La Palma, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura count as chief trip destinations within the Canary Islands for visitors of Gran Canaria.
Playa de Las Canteras is the jewel of all beaches in the north area of Gran Canaria. Its rating is enhanced by the fact it is located in Las Palmas.
There is a consensus of opinion in respect to Maspalomas being the most popular resort in Gran Canaria, a consensus grounded on the actual tourist reality.
