e-Scooter or e-Bike Maspalomas Tour+Visit Western Town Sioux City

Experience the Best of Maspalomas and the American Old West in One Day

This 3-hour combined tour in Gran Canaria offers a unique way to see some of the island’s most iconic sights — from the Maspalomas Dunes and beautiful beaches to a lively Western Town Sioux City. For around $108, you get to ride either a two-seater e-scooter or an e-bike, explore stunning natural landscapes, and step back in time with live Wild West shows. Guided by friendly and knowledgeable hosts, this experience is perfect for travelers seeking a mix of scenery, fun, and entertainment.

What we love most? The beautiful coastal views from the dunes and beaches, and the immersive Wild West experience at Sioux City, which is surprisingly authentic and entertaining. The guided rides ensure you see the highlights comfortably, and the inclusion of main street shows and saloon entertainment makes it feel like a real adventure.

A potential consideration is the requirement for a valid driving license for the e-scooter and the minimum age restrictions. If you’re traveling with very young children or aren’t comfortable on two wheels, you might need to opt for the e-bike or passenger seat.

This tour suits active travelers, families with older kids, or anyone wanting a fun and varied day with a bit of nature, culture, and a playful touch of the Old West.

Exploring Maspalomas: The Dunes and Beaches

Our journey begins at the Reserva Natural Especial de Las Dunas de Maspalomas. The highlight here is the panoramic viewpoint, where you can fully appreciate the vastness of the golden dunes stretching along 7 km of coast. These dunes are a natural marvel, created over thousands of years and protected as a special natural reserve. From the viewpoint, we could see how the shifting sands have shaped this striking landscape, perfect for photos and some quiet reflection.

Travelers often mention how beautiful and peaceful the dunes are. One reviewer said, “We loved the way the dunes were so expansive and golden,” which underscores just how special this natural feature really is. Since there’s no admission fee, it’s a simple but memorable start to your day.

Next, we moved to the famous Playa del Ingles, the busiest and most lively beach in southern Gran Canaria. Its boardwalk is a hub of activity, with cafes, shops, and panoramic views of the Atlantic. It’s the perfect spot for a quick stroll or a coffee break, soaking in the lively atmosphere.

Beaches of San Agustin and Aguila

Our next stops take us to Playa de San Agustin and Playa del Aguila, where the volcanic origins of Gran Canaria come into view. San Agustin is renowned for its black volcanic sand, creating a stark contrast to the golden dunes. It’s a quieter spot, ideal for a peaceful walk or some relaxing beach time.

Likewise, the Playa del Aguila offers a small, pebbly beach with volcanic sand and a very local feel. These beaches highlight the island’s volcanic geology, and many travelers appreciate these less touristy spots for a more authentic experience. Admission is included, making this part of the tour both scenic and convenient.

The Wild West at Sioux City

The pièce de résistance is definitely Sioux City, a sprawling 320,000 m² theme park that transports visitors back to the American Old West. Opened in 1971, this replica town features typical houses, a church, a ranch, a bank, and a saloon, all built to evoke a real Western town.

The park’s live shows are a highlight — with actors performing on the Main Street — and the saloon is a must-see for a taste of cowboy culture. Visitors also enjoy the Indian reservation, and little ones can visit the small zoo within the park.

One reviewer shared, “Lorenzo knew the park well, and we were welcomed in and shown around,” emphasizing the value of a guided visit that makes the experience richer. The park also offers recreational games, shops, and photo opportunities, all included in the ticket price, which enhances the overall value.

Practical Details and What to Expect

This tour is designed for small groups (max 10 travelers) to keep things intimate and flexible. Starting at 10:00 am from the central Maspalomas meeting point, the schedule allows enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.

You’ll choose between a two-seater e-scooter or an e-bike; the e-scooter requires a valid driving license and is suitable for those over 15 years old, with the capacity for a passenger if under 14. The e-bike is a more relaxed option, no license needed, but only for those aged 14-70.

Helmets are included, and the tour is suitable for travelers with moderate physical fitness. Keep in mind that sandals or flip-flops are not allowed for drivers — proper closed shoes are a must. It’s a fun way to get around, with the added bonus of guided commentary, so you’ll learn as you go.

There’s no included lunch, but you can purchase a typical American fast-food meal at Sioux City. Drinks are also available to buy at the saloon, perfect for a quick refresh after your wild ride.

Authentic Experiences and Authenticity

From the scenic dunes to the lively Wild West town, the tour offers a well-rounded mix of natural beauty and playful entertainment. Reviews highlight how Lorenzo, the guide, makes the experience especially memorable — “really good guide who told a lot,” said one visitor.

Travelers also appreciated how well-organized the shows and park attractions are. The fact that film production was completed here in 2024 underlines the park’s authenticity and high-quality recreation. And for kids, there’s the thrill of being part of a show or just exploring the miniature animal zoo.

Pricing and Value

At around $108 per person, this tour provides a comprehensive experience — combining guided transportation, entrance fees, and live entertainment — all in one package. Considering the inclusion of multiple attractions, it offers good value, especially as the Sioux City park alone would normally charge an entrance fee.

The small group setting enhances the experience, allowing for personalized interaction and flexibility. If you’re looking for an active, engaging day that balances natural scenery, local culture, and a bit of play-acting, you’ll find this tour offers great value for your money.
