The 11 Best Cycling Tours in Gran Canaria

1.Maspalomas: Ayagaures E-Bike Mountain Tour Optional Tapas

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 57 reviews · from $90Our pick

Ride an electric bike from Maspalomas through Ayagaures Valley to the dam, with a local guide, views of the dunes and stops to learn about Canarian plants. The three-hour trip follows public roads, not off-road trails. A tropical-fruit drink is included; Canarian tapas in an ancient cave cost extra and are unavailable in July and August.

“Our guide had so much knowledge of the area to share and he had a nice clear voice and gave clear instructions. We had a lovely stop for refreshments and learned a lot about different areas of GC during our tour. The bikes were awesome. The only caveat is you need to be fairly confident on a bike in traffic as the tour was all on public roads (which it does say).”

4.E-Bike City Tour with Camel Safari on Maspalomas Sand Dunes

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 10 reviews · from $101

Spend two hours cycling Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas with a multilingual local guide, stopping at viewpoints and a lagoon used by migrating birds. The tour includes a 30-minute camel ride in the dunes, an e-bike, one soft drink and a small group of up to 10. Guide Lorenzo has led tours, but guides may vary.

“We ended up being on a private tour with our guide Lorenzo, so this may be an atypical review. The ebikes provided were useful because the terrain is quite deceptively hilly. We were taken to various parts of the island, and found Lorenzo learned about the local history, and culture as well as many of the botantical aspects of the natural ecosystem. Of the things we did I would see seeing the Dunes of Maspalomas was probably the highlight though we also saw some interesting sculptures. The "camel" ride was fun but a bit dull and lacking any visit to different terrain, so probably more of an experience for kids…”
