Gran Canaria · MASPALOMAS DUNES TOURS
The dune field is a protected reserve, so there are only a few honest ways over it. These 13 cover the camel trains, the guided walks and the photo sessions on the sand, with prices, start times and how hot each one gets.
Ride through Maspalomas Sand Dunes in a padded two-seater saddle, guided by Saharawi staff who speak Spanish, English, and German. The 30-minute route offers quiet desert scenery, gentle camels, and a simple family activity for $21, with no hotel pickup.
“Very relaxing and an experience to remember! Guides were excellent and camels were beautiful.”
Meet at the Maspalomas Dunes dromedary station for a guided 30-minute camel ride through Gran Canaria’s famous dunes. You’ll sit in a comfortable two-seat saddle beside the hump, with insurance included. Arrive early, since exact ride times are assigned on site and waits can grow.
“The camels were easygoing and the staff were friendly. Fair amount of camels to accommodate for a large amount of people. Arrived around 11am and the wait time was 30mins. A nice 30min camel ride, although the area was not very scenic.”
Meet the iJump team in Playa del Inglés, complete a short briefing, then ride to El Berriel airfield for a tandem jump from 3,000 meters. Guides such as Eddie and Tony handle the safety work while you enjoy free fall, island views, and a gentle landing near Maspalomas Dunes.
Ride a dromedary for about 30 minutes through the Maspalomas Dunes, with two people sharing each camel. The route is gentle and family-friendly, but arrive between 9 and 11 a.m. to reduce queue time. Camels have individual names, and optional photos cost about €5.
“All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The camels did really well to make the journey smooth even though my son was nervous.”
Join Jorge of Jota Photographer for a private 1-hour-15-minute sunset session in the Maspalomas Dunes. He provides posing guidance, chooses scenic dune settings, and can collect you from your accommodation. The session suits couples, honeymooners, anniversaries, and families of up to four.
“Notre photographe s'appelait Jorge. Il a été incroyable !! Nous avons passé un moment inoubliable et nous avons hâte de recevoir les photos !!”
Join Camello Safari Duna Maspalomas for a gentle camel ride through the Maspalomas dunes in southern Gran Canaria. The route lasts about 30 minutes, returns to the starting point, and suits most visitors under 110 kg. Arrive early, since places are assigned in person.
“The experience was very fun and surprisingly longer than I expected. When you check in you’re entered into the queue so it is a first come first serve with no appointments so I’d suggest planning accordingly if you have other plans. Remember these are animals so don’t be surprised that there will be a barn smell and some poop to avoid so wear sensible shoes!”
Spend two hours touring Maspalomas by road on a two-seat electric scooter chopper with a Spanish, English, or Italian-speaking guide. See the lighthouse, lagoon, botanical garden, beaches, and dunes, then ride a camel for 30 minutes. A valid AM or B license is required to drive.
“A great experience and best way to explore the city and learn about the history and culture. Very friendly guide. A must do activity of gran canaria.”
You’ll learn to ride a Segway with guide Lorenzo, then follow seaside promenades and cycle paths from Maspalomas past Playa del Inglés, Playa de las Burras, and San Agustin. The two-hour small-group outing includes a soft drink, safety gear, dune views, and photo stops.
“This tour was really a good one! The tour guide, Lorenzo, took his time to explain how to use the Segway and we got about 5-10 minutes just to get comfortable with it. During the tour he also share a lot of information with relation to the Dunes and the region of Maspalomas. He answered all our questions and even gave tips on where to go sightseeing. The tour takes place mainly on the boulevards right at the beach and the views are just amazing. I would definitely recommend doing this tour!”
Meet Lisi in front of Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas for a relaxed one-hour photo walk through the dunes. Bring colorful clothing, pose against the sunset scenery, and receive 20 edited digital photos within three days. Private groups of up to five can take part in English, Chinese, or Spanish.
“We had a wonderful time with Lisi. She really put us at ease and we are so happy with the pictures. We would highly recommend.”
Meet photographer Carolina at Café Mozart II for a private one-hour shoot in the Maspalomas dunes. Expect a friendly mix of candid and posed images, with sunrise and sunset options. Three days later, choose 20 HD photos from a private online gallery.
“Great experience! The session took place in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Very happy with the result; the photos are beautiful and natural. I highly recommend it😎”
Cycle Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas with a multilingual guide, stopping at viewpoints and the blue lagoon before a 30-minute camel ride across the dunes. E-bikes suit riders aged 14 to 70, while babies up to 6 years and 22 kg can use a parent’s seat.
“We ended up being on a private tour with our guide Lorenzo, so this may be an atypical review. The ebikes provided were useful because the terrain is quite deceptively hilly. We were taken to various parts of the island, and found Lorenzo learned about the local history, and culture as well as many of the botantical aspects of the natural ecosystem. Of the things we did I would see seeing the Dunes of Maspalomas was probably the highlight though we also saw some interesting sculptures. The "camel" ride was fun but a bit dull and lacking any visit to different terrain, so probably more of an experience for kids…”
Ride with a small group of up to six people from Maspalomas to Playa del Ingles. You will practice first, then follow the Paseo Costa Canaria beside the ocean and dunes, stopping for a soft drink. Guides including Lorenzo and Alonzo provide patient instruction in English.
“We had a fantastic segway tour with Alonzo. Fluent in English and Spanish (and I believe Italian too amongst others).”
Spend about an hour riding an easy electric bike from Cita shopping center along Playa del Ingles and the Costa Canaria promenade. A multilingual guide, including Lorenzo on some departures, shares local stories before stops at the Maspalomas Dunes and two scenic viewpoints. No sand or off-road riding.
“My wife and I booked the city sightseeing tour with camel ride. Our guide, Lorenzo, was friendly, profesional, and knowledgeable. We rode along the sand dunes, and other pathways through the city, before ending up on the Costa CanRead more”
Pick a coast, a barranco or a table.
