2-Hour e-Scooter Tour Gran Canaria: Maspalomas Dunes & Camel Ride

You ride the e-scooter yourself through the dunes, not just watch them pass.

A 2-hour e-scooter tour of Gran Canaria's south coast with a local guide, combining electric Chopper scooters, a 30-minute camel ride through the Maspalomas Dunes, and stops at Playa del Inglés and the Maspalomas Oasis. Riders with a valid AM or B driving license control their own scooter. Passengers without a license ride the rear seat. The route crosses the dunes, passes a blue lagoon where over 40 bird species live, and returns through palm-lined countryside.

The experience

Two hours on an electric Chopper scooter means you navigate the route yourself, not as a passenger on a bus or a guided walk. The scooter is 100% electric, so there's no engine noise or exhaust as you move through Playa del Inglés and out toward the Maspalomas Dunes. A valid AM or B driving license is required to operate the scooter. If you don't have one, you ride as a passenger on the rear seat with someone who does. Either way, you're moving through the landscape under your own power or a companion's, not sitting still.

The Maspalomas Dunes stretch across 25 square kilometers of sand at the island's southern edge, and the tour includes a 30-minute camel ride through them. On the return, the route crosses through open countryside lined with palm trees, then stops at the Maspalomas Oasis: a small blue lagoon where more than 40 bird species live and 23 types choose it for breeding. This is a genuine birdwatching spot, not just a scenic pause. The guide points out what you're seeing and explains the ecology as you move through each zone.

Wear closed shoes and bring a jacket if you're traveling in winter. The e-scooter supports a maximum combined weight of 160 kilograms for driver and passenger, and the camel can carry up to 100 kilograms per person. A soft drink is included, and the tour covers liability and accident insurance plus local taxes. You'll need at least moderate fitness and good balance to ride. Prior scooter experience is strongly recommended.

Is this one for you?If you have a valid AM or B driving license and want to control your own route through the dunes, you'll ride the scooter as the driver. Without a license or if you prefer not to ride, you travel as a rear-seat passenger with a licensed companion. Either way, the two-hour span keeps the whole experience (scooter sections, camel ride and stops) inside a single outing without feeling rushed.
