Photoshooting at Roque Nublo, Tejeda — An Authentic Sunset Experience in Gran Canaria
Imagine standing beneath the iconic Roque Nublo, the majestic volcanic rock formation that graces Gran Canaria’s landscape, during the golden hour of sunset. This photoshoot experience, priced at around $221 for your group of up to four, lasts about 90 minutes, blending a scenic stroll with a professional photo session. Led by Jota, a passionate photographer, this tour offers a chance to preserve your memories with a treasure trove of over 100 high-quality images delivered a few days later.
What makes this experience genuinely appealing is the opportunity to combine sightseeing with personalized photography — perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations, or even capturing precious moments with your pets. The fact that pets are welcome and children of all ages can join adds a warm, inclusive touch. Plus, the convenient hotel pickup (if needed) makes this a hassle-free way to enjoy one of Gran Canaria’s most scenic spots at sunset.
Two features we especially appreciate are the timing—hitting the location at sunset for the best light—and the professional yet relaxed approach of Jota, which helps everyone feel at ease. The intimate setting means you get personalized attention, resulting in beautiful, natural photos. One slight consideration is that if you have mobility issues, the itinerary might be adjusted to make access easier, so it’s worth noting if wheelchair accessibility is a concern.
This photoshoot suits travelers seeking authentic, memorable images in a stunning natural environment. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, or just want to surprise someone special, this experience promises a blend of spectacular scenery and authentic connection with your loved ones.

What to Expect from the Tour
This tour begins at the Parador of Cruz de Tejeda, a central spot with commanding views and easy access. From there, the group, which is exclusively your booking (private tour), heads out for a gentle walk through the natural reserve of Roque Nublo. The goal? To find the perfect spot for a memorable sunset photo session.
The duration of approximately 90 minutes is just right: enough time to wander, find good vantage points, and capture plenty of images without feeling rushed. Since the activity is tailored to your group alone, Jota’s attention is fully on making sure everyone gets their best shot.
The Scenic Route and Key Photo Spots
During the walk, you’ll pass through beautiful natural landscapes, with views of the volcanic terrain that characterize Gran Canaria. The highlight is, of course, standing beneath Roque Nublo itself, a symbol of the island’s volcanic past and a favorite photo backdrop. The timing at sunset means the light is warm and soft, casting long shadows and highlighting the rugged beauty of the rock formations.
Why the Sunset Matters
Photographers and travelers alike will tell you that sunset provides the most flattering light, creating a golden glow that enhances skin tones and scenery alike. As Jota expertly guides you into natural poses, you’ll find yourself relaxed and enjoying the moment, rather than feeling like a photo object.
The Photos and Delivery
After the session, you’ll receive an impressive collection of over 100 images. These are delivered a few days later, with many in black and white, which adds a timeless, artistic touch. Reviews highlight how “the photos look super nice,” and several travelers appreciate the professional yet friendly vibe that makes the process fun rather than formal.

Pricing and Value
At just over $220 for up to four people, this experience offers excellent value considering the number of high-quality images and the personalized service.
