“Both me and my 12-year-old daughter really enjoyed the excursion. The horses were gentle and well cared for. The two young women who were guiding communicated well and made sure everyone was happy and knew what they should be doing. Beautiful scenery. Even though we were out for a full hour, I wish we’d done the two-hour trip as it was so good.”

You’ll ride a comfortable two-seat e-Scooter with a multilingual guide from the Cita Shopping Center to Maspalomas Dunes, the Dunas viewpoint, Playa del Ingles, and a high city lookout. Drivers need an original or digital AM or B license and prior scooter experience.

“We did the 4 hour bike coast tour with Lorenzo yesterday. It was amazing!! We were taken to so many secluded beaches we would never have found on our own. Stopped for the best cappuccino we’ve ever tasted on the way there and a fab smoothie on the way back. We were lucky to get into the banana plantation and the guy took time to explain to us how it all worked. Definitely the best way to get around the island and see all the sites. The bikes are easy to use. Lorenzo is so nice and knowledgeable. We now have lots of places we want to visit. 5 star…”
