The Route & Highlights
Maspalomas Dunes Natural Reserve is the star of the show. You’ll glide through this iconic landscape, marveling at the vast sea of golden sands. Your guide, whose local knowledge shines through, will pause at Mirador de Las Dunas, a small square perched among the dunes offering spectacular panoramic views. This spot is perfect for photos and soaking in the scenery.
Travelers have raved about the quality of these stops; Jennifer, who took a four-hour bike tour elsewhere on the island, mentioned how such guided experiences reveal hidden corners you might miss on your own. Similarly, the Maspalomas Dunes are a highlight that feels genuinely special, especially when framed against the clear blue sky.
Your ride continues toward Playa del Ingles, one of the most vibrant beaches on the island. The guide will point out the best spots along the coast, revealing local secrets like quieter beaches and scenic viewpoints that are often missed by travelers simply lounging on the sand.
Scenic Viewpoints and Photo Opportunities
We loved the way the tour includes a higher viewpoint of the city, providing sweeping vistas of the coastline and urban sprawl. It’s a brief but rewarding stop that allows you to appreciate Gran Canaria’s varied landscapes—from the dunes to the lush inland areas visible in the distance.
Practical Aspects & Experience
The e-Scooters are suitable for those with previous scooter riding experience; the legal requirement of an original or digital AM or B driving license ensures safety and compliance. Children over 7 are allowed as passengers, but those under 7 or over 70 are not permitted on the scooters, making this experience family-friendly but with age restrictions.
Since the tour is strictly on asphalted roads, it’s not for off-road adventurers or sand lovers. The maximum weight limit of 160 kg ensures the scooters are safe and manageable. The helmet and liability insurance are included, highlighting a focus on safety.
More Great Tours NearbyWhat’s Included & Not Included
The tour includes the use of e-Scooter, helmet, a multilingual guide, and taxes. However, it doesn’t cover hotel pickup, drop-off, or food and drinks—so plan to grab a snack before or after if you’re hungry.
