Morning Adventures in the Maspalomas Dunes

As the sun rises over the horizon, casting a gentle glow over the island, there’s no better way to start your day than with a camel ride through the iconic Maspalomas Dunes. This unique experience offers a 30-minute trek across the undulating sands, providing a serene and memorable start to your weekend. The camels, gentle giants of the desert, are equipped with comfortable two-seater saddles, making it a perfect family-friendly activity.

The ride is available from 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM, allowing you to enjoy the cool morning breeze as you traverse the dunes. The experience is not only about the ride but also about the connection with these magnificent animals, each with its own name and personality. As one recent review noted,

“Amazing! Staff are super friendly and the camels are well treated and cute. Each camel has a name and has a good relationship with the staff.”

This is a perfect opportunity to introduce your children to the wonders of nature and the joy of exploration. Remember to wear comfortable clothes, bring sunscreen, a hat, and water to ensure a pleasant experience. Camel Ride

Exploring the South on E-Scooters

After a morning of adventure, why not switch gears and explore the southern coast of Gran Canaria on an eco-friendly E-Scooter Chopper? Available from 12:30 PM to 6:30 PM, this activity offers a fun and flexible way to see the sights with your family. The E-Scooter Chopper is a two-seater, allowing you to share the experience with a partner or child, provided they meet the age and licensing requirements.

This self-guided tour takes you through some of the most picturesque spots in the south, including Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, and Meloneras Beach. The scooters come with a map, helmet, and mobile support, ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride. As one satisfied visitor shared,

“We had a blast on these E Choppers. 5 choppers hired for two hours. We wanted to explore the coast and get a feel for the place and what a way to do it.”

This activity is perfect for families looking to explore at their own pace, with the freedom to stop and enjoy the views whenever you please. Just remember to apply sunscreen, as the wind can be deceivingly strong. E-Scooter Tour
