It means, on this occasion, a time trip back to the pirates. Our guests experience a unique play aboard with acrobatic dances, fascinating costumes and in the end you will become a part of the show. An unforgettable day with good music and one-of-a-kind service of the crew.

It is also possible to rent Jetsky or Parasailing at a more favorable price. We will offer you a lunch (e.g., paella, salad and bread) inclusive drinks (beer, Soft drinks, wine and water).
About Aloe Vera Finca Canarias
Aloe Vera Finca Canarias is a small family business. We have been dedicated to the ecological cultivation for two generations. Our plantations are located in Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. The variety that we grow is known as Aloe Barbadensis Miller, commonly referred to as “Aloe Vera”.
At our plantation we offer a guided tour, so you will be able to feel and touch the plants. We have got around 30,000 adult plants, all them between 10 and 30 years old.
100% ECOLOGICAL PLANTATION
Our plantation has always been ecological. All our collect processes, the cleaning and maintenance of the plants are made by hand. Also the packaging and the recycling processes are environmentally friendly.
No pesticides or chemical products are used at our plantation. We have tried to keep using the guidelines that our grandparents used to follow. The process that they followed was always natural. This was the key to get high quality products. They used no chemicals that could damage our health.
ALL THE PROCESSES CARRIED ON IN JUST ONE PLACE
At our plantation you can find a laboratory, where the good condition of every single leave is controlled. It is also the place where our cosmetic line is produced.
But you will also find our factory, where the Aloe Vera is produced and where the bottling and packing is made.
We have decided to make all the processes in just one place. This way we can guarantee an optimal quality. We should not forget that we work with 100 % natural products that come from the nature. Once we remove them from the nature, the leaves can oxidize soon.
In Aloe Vera Finca Canarias we want to make a difference. We want to give our clients the opportunity to have pure Aloe Vera. And we make it the same way our ancestors did. Our main goal: to offer products with the same quality as the fresh Aloe Vera leave freshly cut, 99,38% pure Aloe Barbadensis MILLER.
Every month we collect around 5,000 fresh Aloe Vera leaves. From each plant we extract just four or five leaves a year. This way, we guarantee the healthy and optimal quality of every single plant and we ensure an stable cultivation.
Produktion in 6 STEPS
- Every week we collect fresh leaves by hand.
- We wash every leave by hand with water and food lay so that all the external impurities disappear.
- We make one cut on the base and on the peak (always with ceramic and plastic objects. Metals can oxidize the plant). After that, we immerse the leave under water for eight hours to eliminate the aloin from the leave.
- Then, we extract the pulp by hand with a plastic spatula. After this process, there is only five per cent of aloin kept in it.
- We collect all the pulp from the inside and we press it in cold. This way, all the properties from the plant are kept in. Then we add Vitamins C and E (extracted from the lemon). They will act as natural preservatives and, now it is ready to bottle!
- All our products have natural preservatives. That is the reason why they can last up to one year. Once opened, they should be stored in a cold place (for example, in the fridge)We collect the leaves from our plantation every week so that we only produce the necessary quantity to meet our current demand. This way, we always offer fresh products and we ensure an stable production at our factory. All our processes are environmentally friendly. At our small family business we always prefer quality instead of quantity.

RESULT: THE BEST ALOE VERA IN THE WORLD
Thanks to the temperatures in the Canary Islands, its proximity to the sea and its volcanic soil, this place is considered a paradise for the cultivation of Aloe Vera. And that is why in our islands is produced the highest quality Aloe Vera in the world. However, the quality of the Aloe Vera depends on the processes that are carried out in every plantation.
The Aloe Vera collected at Aloe Vera Finca Canarias shows 23,38% of Acemannan. This means, that it triples the content of this substance if we compare it to another Aloe Vera plants that are grown in other places. That is the reason why we have been selected to collaborate with the Doctor Negrín Hospital and also we have been chosen to sponsor the Ruta Quetzal (Ruta Quetzal BBVA is an "initiatory,” “enlightened" and “scientific” program in which culture and adventure come together). The Doctor Negrín Hospital is one of the biggest hospitals in the Canary Islands, as well as the most prepared, technologically speaking.
On this tour we drive towards to Mogán, continue to Pueblo de Mogán, a little village 12 km up in the mountains. From here we continue through a very beautiful and varied countryside to our first stop on a look out-point where we can look down to San Nicolas, after a short photo break we begin to drive down the mountain on the other side and soon we are at Cactus Park where we take a break of 1.5 hours.
In cactus park there are a lot of different and beautiful trees and flowers, and it is said that there is not a species of cactus in the world that are not presented in this park. This place is a mecca for people with green fingers, but beware, if you touch to much you get thorns in your fingers. After visiting the cactus park we drive into San Nicolas town where we stop in the square by the church, here you can walk around in the nearby streets, look into the church if it is open, or enjoy something fresh in one of locals. After 30 minutes we will head home again on the same way as we drove up there.something fresh in one of locals. After 30 minutes we will head home again on the same way as we drove up there.
One of our short trips for those who just want to see something else.
We drive to Maspalomas, past the medical center (centro de salud), water park, and continues into the valley called Ayagaudes. Here we arrive at the end of the valley some 10 Km. where we will see lots of different plants and trees.
In the end of the valley we reach the city, Ayagaudes, and we make a short stop at the dam before continuing up the mountain. Here we come to a vantage point where we just take a photo break.
From here we can see Palmitos Park down to the right and when we follow the road we pass one villa after another - and there are also villa for those who even want to complete it by themself.
In Montana la Data where we visit the local "supermarket" where we can buy something cold to drink before continuing.
We continue down the hill and comes out at the place where we started to drive into the valley and here we go back to home.
It´s a little short drive of about 2 hours, but it's something completely different than you see in the area where you live.
Carnival 2018 has only one thing in mind: the Maspalomas sun
We do not know who introduced them. We are not sure whose idea it was. But it was clear Carnival festivities and the fine weather in southern Gran Canaria were meant for each other.
Sceptics will wonder: But is it Gran Canaria the only place where Carnival is celebrated right on the beach? Of course not! But it is somewhat hard to find a spot where the craziest festivity in the calendar and the fine weather get along so well.
Undoubtedly, southern Gran Canaria must be among the spots with the best weather in all of Europe. As if made to measure. As if someone would have decided to include on the map a small fine weather republic. A cold-free region where to travel any time of the year.
To top it off, it so happens that in February, when you have decided that you’ve had your share of cold, suddenly you notice that Carnival has followed you to the beach. You get the idea right from the first day on holidays, when you bump into a 6.5 ft drag queen hailing a cab, carnival music at the bottom of a swimming pool, two bathers wearing Avatar outfits at the beach bar, and a myriad more of these images with no explanation outside the extravagant and extraordinary carnival season. A carnivalesque February full of fine weather.
The day Carnival met Maspalomas it did not think twice. There it would stay. It saw the long field of dunes by the ocean. The sea reaching everywhere. Music zigzagging along the streets of Playa del Inglés.
This was a long time ago, for Carnival in Maspalomas is already ancient. Old enough for many community members to boast of carnival memories. And which is the couple’s secret? How do Carnival and the Grancanarian beaches get along so well after so many years?
