Maspalomas: E-Scooter or E-Bike Tour+Western Town Sioux City

Taking a guided E-scooter or E-bike tour around Maspalomas offers a fantastic way to see some of Gran Canaria’s most iconic sights. Known for its stunning dunes and lively beaches, Maspalomas is a spot that many travelers want to experience, but doing so on two wheels — with the added thrill of visiting a Wild West theme park — brings a whole new level of fun. This tour, priced at $106 per person for about three hours, combines scenic riding with immersive entertainment, making it a well-rounded option for those craving adventure and culture.

What I particularly appreciate about this experience is how it balances guided sightseeing with active exploration. The fact that you get to glide along the sands and coastlines on a well-maintained e-scooter or e-bike is a highlight. However, a possible consideration is the requirement for some riding experience — you’ll need a valid driver’s license to operate the scooter, and not everyone may feel comfortable on two wheels if they’re new to it. This tour is best suited for travelers who enjoy a bit of physical activity, are comfortable with riding, and love fun, themed attractions.

Whether you’re an adventure seeker or a culture enthusiast, this tour is a good fit. It’s especially perfect for small groups looking for a mix of nature, history, and entertainment, all wrapped into one succinct trip. Now, let’s dig into what makes this experience worth considering and how it stacks up on the ground.

This tour offers a comprehensive snapshot of Gran Canaria’s southern coast, starting with the joy of riding on e-scooters or e-bikes. We loved how the guided element meant you’re not just riding around aimlessly — your guide is there to point out interesting landmarks, share tidbits, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. We especially appreciated the well-maintained equipment and the safety gear provided, like helmets, which add peace of mind.

As you cruise along, you’ll get a chance to see Maspalomas Dunes — a vast, golden landscape that looks almost otherworldly. The dunes stretch for miles and are a photographer’s dream, especially with the contrasting blue skies and the ocean in the background. The ride is roughly an hour, which is enough time to soak in the scenery without feeling rushed.

Afterward, the tour continues towards Playa del Ingles, where you’ll experience the lively beach vibe and turquoise waters. The gentle sea breeze and the sound of waves make for a relaxing contrast to the energetic ride. The coastal views are a highlight here, and many reviews mentioned how fun it was to “feel the sea breeze in your hair” while gliding along the promenade.

The second part of this experience plunges you into the American Wild West, but without the dust or cacti — just plenty of detailed set pieces and lively shows. The entrance to Sioux City is included in the tour fee, and you’ll find yourself walking into a full replica of a Wild West town, complete with buildings like a ranch, bank, church, and saloon.

One of the stand-out features, according to reviews, is the entertainment — actors lead performances that recreate classic Western tales with humor and flair. You can expect cattle drives, bank robberies, duels, and fights, all set in a sprawling 320,000 m² park. Herve, one of the reviewers, mentioned how his guide Lorenzo “was the best,” making the visit especially memorable thanks to the guide’s enthusiasm and knowledge.

Reviewers also appreciated the detailed set design and the opportunity to see scenes from movies like ‘Take a Hard Ride’ and ‘Zorro’ (2022), which were shot here. The shows are scheduled to be engaging and humorous, adding a layer of entertainment that’s suitable for all ages.

There’s also an optional horse ride of about 10 minutes, where you can hold animals and take some fun photos, though this isn’t included in the main price.

This tour is designed for small groups, capped at 10 participants, which ensures a more personalized experience. Starting from inside Cita Shopping Center, close to the Pisa Tower entrance, it’s a straightforward meeting point. There’s no hotel pickup or drop-off, so you’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting spot.

The entire experience lasts around 3 hours, with the riding segment being about an hour. You get the flexibility to reserve without paying upfront, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start, adding peace of mind.

For safety, you’ll need a Driver’s License (original or digital AM license), and riders should be comfortable riding scooters. Children over 7 are permitted to join, either as passengers or drivers if licensed. Children under 7 or those with certain health issues are not allowed. The maximum weight on the scooter is 160 kg, and e-bikes are limited to 100 kg.

Included in the tour are the guide, helmet, 1-hour ride, and entry to Sioux City with shows. For those with specific tastes, there’s an option to request a lunch or soft drink at the saloon, though this is paid separately.

Not included are hotel transfers and food, but you might choose to combine the tour with a meal at the saloon, where some reviewers noted enjoying local-themed snacks and drinks.

A key point to keep in mind is that riders need some experience with scooters or bikes and a valid license, especially for the scooter option. The tour is not recommended for those over 70 or with back problems, and open-toed shoes are not allowed.

The reviews highlight the quality of guides and the entertaining shows. Michelle shared her experience of a four-hour trip that included entry and a soft drink, mentioning that the wild west show had a horse ride and cowboy photography, adding a fun, interactive element. However, she also pointed out the importance of double-checking what’s included when booking, as some options might differ.

Herve’s review was especially glowing, praising guide Lorenzo’s hospitality and how the Sioux City park “is absolutely to do,” making the entire day “an extraordinary time.” That kind of personal touch and enthusiasm can make a big difference in how memorable the experience feels.

This experience is best suited for adventurous travelers who enjoy being active and want a diverse day out. If you love the idea of exploring coastal scenery on a fun, eco-friendly vehicle, you’ll appreciate the combination of riding along dunes and beaches with the thrill of the Wild West theme park.

It’s also ideal for families or small groups looking for a multi-faceted outing that balances scenic beauty with entertainment. The inclusion of shows and set-piece exploration makes it engaging beyond just the riding, especially for those who enjoy movies or Western lore.

However, expect some riding experience and a degree of physical activity — it’s not the best choice if you’re uncomfortable on scooters or bikes. And while the price reflects a well-rounded experience, travelers should consider whether they want to pay extra for optional food or drinks.

This tour offers value for money through its combination of outdoor scenery, interactive entertainment, and culture, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a unique way to see Maspalomas and enjoy a bit of the Wild West.
