It can be difficult to please everyone in the family when it comes to taking your summer holiday. For a cheap and cheerful week away that provides good weather, great nights out and plenty of wildlife to explore, you might want to consider a stay in Gran Canaria hotels.
If you're looking for something to make your holiday extra special, then explore some of the wildlife on the island. With so many different animal parks, you won't be disappointed with the animal related activities available on Gran Canaria.
You might not think of camels when you think of Gran Canaria, but the island offers camel safaris and has a camel safari park. Maspalomas is home to Sahara-like sand dunes and there will be many locals happy to provide you with the opportunity to trek across them on a camel. Close by is the town of Fataga, which has a Camel Safari Park so it's another way to get close to these splendid creatures. It is easy to book these excursions, with most Gran Canaria hotels able to make travel arrangements for you.
Parque de los Cocodrilo, also known as the crocodile park, is one of the most popular attractions in Gran Canaria. It was originally a very small family-run park, with only a few mistreated crocodiles. The park now has everything from birds, tigers and chimpanzees, but still adopts mistreated animals and strives to nurse them back to health. This is a zoo with a difference and all of the animals are put into as natural a habitat as possible.
Seeing dolphins up-close is an experience that most people would like to say that they have done. Swimming with dolphins is one of the top things to do around Gran Canaria. You can do this either in a contained facility or in the sea. This can be very expensive so if you're looking for a slightly cheaper way of seeing these intelligent mammals, then consider going on one of the glass bottomed boats to see them up-close. Even if you don't see a dolphin, you'll be blown away by the colourful marine life.
