7.E-Bike City Tour with Camel Safari on Maspalomas Sand Dunes

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 10 reviews · from $101Top rated

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…”
