Maspalomas: Sunset E-Scooter Chopper 2 seat Guided Tour

Experience Maspalomas from a Whole New Perspective

Imagine cruising along on a sleek e-scooter chopper—sharing the ride with a friend or loved one—as the day winds down over the Canary Islands. For about $70 per person, this guided tour takes you through the highlights of the Maspalomas area on Gran Canaria, including its famous sand dunes, Oasis lagoon, volcanic Playa Meloneras, and lush Campo Internacional. Whether you choose the sunset or morning option, you’ll get a taste of both natural beauty and local flavor, all with an expert guide by your side.

What we love most? First, the personalized experience of riding a scooter with a partner or friend, making it both fun and intimate. Second, the stunning panoramic views from various vantage points—especially the sunset over the ocean—are truly memorable. A slight consideration? Since off-road riding isn’t allowed in the dunes, you’ll mainly stay on paved roads, which might limit some adventurous off-the-beaten-path exploration.

This tour is perfect for curious travelers who enjoy a casual, outdoor activity combined with local sightseeing. If you’re comfortable on two wheels or are eager to learn with a patient guide, this adventure offers a friendly, relaxed way to see some of the best spots in Maspalomas.

The Itinerary and What to Expect

Your adventure begins inside Cita Shopping Center, near the reconstructed Tower of Pisa and in front of Bungalows Todoque. If you’re driving, there’s free parking in front of the Santa Monica Hotel. Meeting here is convenient, and it’s the starting point for your journey into the diverse landscape of Maspalomas.

Once geared up with your helmet and e-scooter, your guide—likely someone like Lorenzo, according to reviews—will ensure everyone is comfortable before setting off. The group is usually small, making for a friendly, personalized experience. We loved the way guides are attentive—Lorenzo was praised for making guests feel safe and relaxed, with a wealth of local knowledge.

The tour visits the famous sand dunes, where you’ll get stunning panoramic views of Playa del Ingles. Although riding inside the dunes is not permitted, you’ll enjoy the vistas from paved routes along the dunes’ edges, capturing the essence of this iconic landscape. The Oasis lagoon (“Charca de Maspalomas”) offers a highlight—here, you’ll stop for a non-alcoholic drink, usually a soft drink, while soaking in views of the lagoon and dunes at sunset. You might find this moment particularly special as the sun dips over the horizon, casting warm colors across the landscape.

Next, your route might take you to Playa Meloneras, a volcanic beach with distinctive dark sands and a lively promenade, and then through Campo Internacional, a lush area dotted with tall palms and open spaces where the tour often stops for photos or a quick look around. The guide will share interesting tidbits about each spot—like how the sand dunes serve as a major natural landmark and how the lagoon is a haven for local birds.

Riding Experience and Comfort

We found that the e-scooter choppers are surprisingly easy to handle, even for beginners. The bikes are well-maintained, and helmets are provided. Critics of scooters might worry about balance, but most reviews note that learning curves are gentle—a few minutes of familiarization suffice.

For those unsure about driving, seat options are available: adults over 70 are not allowed to join, but children aged 7 and up, with a license or as passengers, can enjoy the ride. We appreciated that the tour offers a rear seat option for non-drivers, making it accessible for more family members or friends. The guides are patient—Lorenzo was praised for his helpfulness and humor—and ensure everyone feels comfortable, which is key to a fun experience.

The Sunset and Photos

The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly watching the sun set over the ocean. The guide will often stop at points with the best views, and many guests say this is a truly breathtaking experience. The soft colors and peaceful atmosphere create a perfect moment to relax and take photos.

Why This Tour Stands Out

Most reviews highlight the personalized attention from guides who bring a wealth of local knowledge—“Lorenzo was a superb guide,” one guest said, emphasizing his helpfulness and charm. Others appreciated the value for money—with the tour including insurance, helmet, and a drink, it feels like a well-rounded experience at a reasonable price.

The small group size and flexible scheduling—available in both sunset and morning options—add to the appeal. It’s an activity that combines easy adventure with sightseeing, making it perfect for those who want a hybrid outdoor experience without the physical demands of more intense excursions.

Limitations and Considerations

One point to note is that off-road riding is not permitted, so if you’re seeking a dune-riding thrill, this tour isn’t the place. It’s mainly focused on paved roads and scenic viewpoints. Also, adults over 70 or those with balance issues should consider their comfort level, as driving skills are required for participation.

Plus, this experience does not include hotel pickup or food, so plan accordingly. If you want a full day of adventure, you’ll need to find other options for transportation or meals.

Who Will Love This Tour?

It’s particularly suited for families with children over 7, couples, or friends wanting a shared adventure with a bit of local flavor. If you enjoy scenic views, sunset moments, and learning about the area from a friendly guide, you’ll find plenty to love here. It’s also a great choice for those who appreciate value—getting a guided experience with insurance and a complimentary drink included.

It’s less suited for off-road enthusiasts or travelers who want a more intense or off-grid experience. Also, if you’re not comfortable on a scooter, or if you prefer guided tours with hotel pickup, you might look for other options.
