Exploring Maspalomas in a Different Way: E-scooter/E-bike Tour + Western Town Sioux City
Imagine gliding effortlessly along the sands of Maspalomas Dunes and the lively streets of Playa del Inglés on a sleek e-bike or e-scooter. That’s exactly what this 3-hour guided tour offers — a fun, active way to see some of Gran Canaria’s most iconic sights. You’ll also step back into the wild west at Sioux City, a sprawling Western-themed park where cowboy shows and film sets bring the old American frontier to life.
What we really love about this experience are the personalized guides and the chance to see the dunes from a breezy, open-air vehicle. It’s a quick, exhilarating way to cover ground without tiring out, and the combination of natural beauty with Hollywood-style Western set pieces makes for a memorable outing. The only thing to keep in mind is that participants need to be comfortable riding scooters or bikes, and children under 7 are not permitted — a consideration if traveling with the young set.
This tour suits those who enjoy a bit of adventure, have a curiosity for Western film history, or simply want a unique way to explore Gran Canaria’s diverse landscape. It’s especially appealing if you’re after a balance of outdoor activity and entertainment, with reviews highlighting enthusiastic guides and fun shows.
