Can-Am Ryker Tour Maspalomas: Mountain Roads Fataga

Can-Am Ryker mountain tour

• Drive back to Maspalomas
• Stop at Mirador Astronómico viewpoint

The experience

What makes this different from a bus tour is that you're steering the machine yourself. After a brief induction at the office in Maspalomas, you'll get your helmet, walk through how the Can-Am Ryker handles, and then you're on the road, not watching the mountains pass, but riding the curves that cut through them. The route climbs from Maspalomas into the interior toward Fataga, a small town built into the mountainside where you can walk the narrow streets and look at the old houses before heading back down.

The return journey includes a stop at Mirador Astronómico de la Degollada de las Yeguas, a viewpoint where you can see nearly all of Maspalomas spread below. It's the kind of stop that justifies the detour. The view is why the road goes there. Bookings for two or more adults mean you'll be riding separate Rykers, so you're not squeezed into one vehicle. If you want to ride alone, you can purchase an extra vehicle at checkout.

You'll need a valid car license to book, and the operator asks that you have at least moderate fitness for the ride. The tour includes legal insurance to drive on public roads, fuel, and your helmet. Full damage insurance is available as an option if you want extra coverage on the vehicle itself.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Infant (8 to 12 years). Children under 8 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I ride a Can-Am Ryker if I've never ridden a three-wheel trike before?

Yes. The tour starts with an induction and explanation of how to handle the Ryker at the office in Maspalomas before you leave, so first-time riders get the setup they need. You do need a valid car license.

What is Fataga like when we stop there?

Fataga is a small, old town in the mountains where you can walk through tiny streets and see traditional houses. The stop is leisurely, giving you time to look around before the group rides back toward Maspalomas.

How long does the whole tour take?

The tour runs 2 to 3 hours from start to finish, including the induction, the ride to Fataga, the walk through town, the panoramic stop, and the return to Maspalomas.

Is the Mirador Astronómico de la Degollada de las Yeguas worth the detour?

The viewpoint sits on the return route and offers views across nearly all of Maspalomas, so it's built into the itinerary rather than an extra stop. Whether it's worth the ride depends on whether you want the panorama, but it's the reason that particular road is on the route.

Do I need to book my own Ryker, or can I share one with someone else?

Bookings for two or more adults mean you'll each ride your own Can-Am Ryker. If you want to ride solo, you can purchase an additional vehicle at checkout. Otherwise, you'll be paired with another rider.

What's included in the price?

The tour includes your helmet, fuel for the Ryker, and legal insurance to drive on public roads. Full damage insurance for the vehicle is available as an optional add-on.
