Ride uphill through palm valleys and dunes, then coast downhill past a 7-kilometer nature reserve.

An electric bike mountain tour in Gran Canaria takes you from the Dunes of Maspalomas through a green valley to the Ayagaures dam and back, with a multilingual guide, helmet, insurance and a soft drink included. The tour lasts 3 hours and is not off-road; you'll stop for 10 minutes at an ancient Aboriginal cave converted into a tapas bar, where you can order typical Canarian food for an extra cost. Riders must be at least 14 years old (accompanied by a parent if under 18), know how to ride an electric bike, and weigh no more than 100 kilos per bike.

The Experience

Can you ride an electric bike even if you're not trained? Yes — the tour is built around comfortable e-bikes that handle the climbing for you, so fitness level doesn't matter as much as balance and the ability to steer. You start at the Dunes of Maspalomas, a 7-kilometer stretch of coastline declared a protected nature reserve by the Canary Islands government, then move through Maspalomas Parque Sur, an immense public park with a lake full of ducks and water birds. The guide leads you inland into a green valley adorned with palm trees, cacti and typical Canary flowers.

The climb to Ayagaures mountain is where the e-bike earns its place — the motor handles the work while you focus on the scenery. At the top, you stop for 10 minutes at La Cuevita, an ancient Aboriginal cave that now serves as a tapas bar, where you get a soft drink made of tropical fruit. If you want to order typical Canarian tapas, that's an extra 15 euros per person (minimum 2 people; not available July and August). From there, the route crosses toward the Ayagaures dam, a large water reservoir ringed with wild ducks.

The return is all downhill and faster — you'll pass through the Campo Internacional, a wide green cycle area planted with over a thousand different palms and cacti, then finish at a panoramic overlook above Playa del Inglés. The whole tour stays on paved or packed paths, not off-road, and you wear a helmet, reflective vest and closed shoes throughout. A multilingual guide leads the group in English, Spanish or Italian.

Is this one for you?The tour starts and ends at Playa del Inglés, the most touristic area of south Gran Canaria, so if you're staying nearby or using public transport, you don't need a car to reach the starting point. The 3-hour loop means you're back by early afternoon, and the downhill return is where the e-bike shines — you coast back without the effort of the climb.
