Can-Am Ryker 3-Wheel Motorcycle Tour: Gran Canaria Routes

Ride mountain passes, coastal stretches and town streets on a three-wheel Ryker built for comfort

A 2.5-hour motorcycle tour of Gran Canaria on a fully automatic Can-Am Ryker, a three-wheel vehicle that handles like a quad but sits you upright and stable. You ride your own machine through Fataga's mountain roads, Playa del Inglés and Mogan's coastal routes at your own pace, with a guide leading the group. Fuel, helmet and accident insurance are included. A valid car license is required, and the minimum age is 20.

The experience

The Can-Am Ryker is a three-wheel motorcycle built by BRP: fully automatic, no clutch or gear shifting, and designed so you sit upright instead of leaning into curves. You get a thorough riding briefing in Maspalomas before the group sets out, with instructions available in all languages through translation. The vehicle handles the island's diverse terrain: mountain switchbacks with views across the rugged interior, coastal roads where the sea opens up beside you, and runs through towns like Mogan and Playa del Inglés where you navigate streets and local traffic at a steady pace.

The route itself is the point. You're not stopping at attractions or museums, but riding through them. Fataga's mountain passes offer the most dramatic scenery, with the road climbing through terrain that changes from green ravines to sparse volcanic rock. The coastal stretches near Mogan bring the Atlantic into view, and the town sections let you feel how the Ryker handles real-world riding. The 2.5-hour duration means you cover ground without the day becoming a slog. The pace is yours to set within the group's route.

Fuel is included, so you're not calculating consumption or hunting for a station. Helmets come with the machine. Accident insurance covers you if something goes wrong: the operator notes that coverage applies when the accident isn't caused by speeding or reckless riding on your part, which is standard. Bookings of two or more adults share vehicles, though you can purchase additional Rykers if your group wants separate machines.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

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.

Do I need a motorcycle license to ride a Can-Am Ryker in Gran Canaria?

A valid car license is required, not a motorcycle endorsement. The Ryker is classified as a three-wheel vehicle and operates under car licensing rules in Spain.

What's the difference between a Can-Am Ryker and a quad or buggy?

The Ryker is a three-wheel motorcycle with an upright seating position and steering wheel instead of handlebars. It feels more stable than a quad and more maneuverable than a buggy, with automatic transmission so you focus on the road, not gear changes.

How long is the actual riding time, and what's included in the 2.5 hours?

The 2.5-hour tour includes the briefing in Maspalomas, the full ride through Fataga, Playa del Inglés and Mogan, and return to the start point. Most of that time is spent riding. The induction takes roughly 15–20 minutes.

What happens if I have an accident while riding?

Accident insurance is included with your booking. Coverage applies as long as the accident wasn't caused by speeding or reckless riding: normal riding incidents are protected.

Can I ride alone, or do I have to share a vehicle?

Bookings of two or more adults share vehicles by default. If you want to ride solo or in a separate machine, you can purchase an additional Ryker at checkout.

Are there age or fitness requirements?

The minimum age is 20. Moderate physical fitness is recommended. The tour isn't recommended for pregnant travelers or those with cardiovascular concerns, since riding requires balance and sustained attention.
