AGAETE GUIDED TOUR FIELD GUIDE
On the Edge: Coasteering Agaete — abseils, a 35 m ocean zipline and volcanic-cliff traverses
A guided, 5‑hour coasteering route on Agaete’s volcanic shoreline that pairs hiking and mountaineering techniques with an ocean zipline and optional sea jumps.
On the Edge: Coasteering Agaete — abseils, a 35 m ocean zipline and volcanic-cliff traverses.
Coasteering along Agaete’s volcanic coast is a concentrated loop of ocean and rock: guided hiking across rugged headlands, rope-work abseils into sea‑scarred gullies, a horizontal via ferrata perched above surf and a 35‑meter zipline that flies you to the next promontory. The route combines mountaineering techniques and seaside exposure, with optional ocean jumps for those who want an extra surge of adrenaline.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Volcanic cliffs carved by the sea
The route follows the wild volcanic shoreline of Gran Canaria, where waves and lava have carved dramatic cliffs and coastal passages seen on the hike and via ferrata sections.
Technical moves: abseils, via ferrata and a sea zipline
Expect practical mountaineering elements: guided abseiling with an extra safety belay, a horizontal via ferrata traverse above the water and a 35‑meter ocean zipline that connects cliff to cliff.
Optional sea jumps and a winter dry variant
If you choose, the route includes optional jumps into the sea for an added adrenaline hit; in the November–March winter version the itinerary can be completed without touching the water.

The route continues with a horizontal via ferrata above the surf, then a 35‑meter zipline across the ocean; adrenaline‑seeking participants can add sea jumps before a final climb and hike back to the start.
