Why Rent an Electric Scooter?

First, the eco aspect is a big plus. Riding an electric scooter lets you explore without the noise or fumes of a motorbike or car, and it’s an easy way to cover more ground than a walk. The two-seater design also makes it ideal for a partner or a friend, turning sightseeing into a shared adventure.

The safety gear and mobile support provided make this a beginner-friendly activity, even for first-timers. The bike lock ensures your scooter is secure during stops, and the helmet keeps safety in mind.

Key Highlights of the Route

The main attractions are within easy reach, and the staff will point out the best spots. You’ll have the chance to visit:

Maspalomas Dunes: An expansive natural park with giant sand mountains, perfect for photos and leisurely walks.
Meloneras Beach: Known for its luxurious vibe, seaside promenades, and panoramic views.
Playa del Ingles: The bustling beach with lively atmosphere, golden sand, and nearby cafes.
Pasito Blanco: a pretty fishing village where you can indulge in local tapas, especially the renowned fresh fish.

The guides are knowledgeable, often sharing insights about the area’s natural and cultural significance. Reviewer Urs called the experience “Perfekt,” emphasizing the well-organized route and the stunning scenery.

The Optional Jet Ski Circuit

For an extra thrill, you can opt for 30 minutes of jet ski riding in Playa del Ingles. This circuit is confined, so it’s a safe, controlled environment even for beginners. The jet skis are double-seaters — at €90 for a two-person jet ski and €80 for a single — and no boating license is required.

Life jackets are provided, and you might find the jet ski experience a fun contrast to the land-based exploration. Just remember to bring your swimsuit and beach towel for maximum comfort.
