Our Take on the e-Scooter 2 Seat City Tour at Playa Ingles

Imagine cruising along on a comfy electric scooter designed for two, gliding past golden sands and sweeping dunes. This 1-hour guided tour in Playa del Ingles offers a refreshing way to see some of Gran Canaria’s most iconic sights without breaking a sweat. Based on reviews and detailed descriptions, it seems perfect for families, small groups, or anyone eager for a quick but scenic adventure.
What I love about this experience is how it makes exploring Maspalomas Dunes effortless and fun. The panoramic views from Mirador de Las Dunas are a real highlight — a small square perched amidst the dunes, offering breathtaking photo opportunities. Plus, the chance to visit Playa del Ingles’ best spots in just an hour is a real plus, especially for travelers with tight schedules or those who prefer a more relaxed pace.
One thing to consider is that this tour only takes place on asphalted roads, which means it’s best suited for those comfortable with riding an e-Scooter and who have previous experience driving scooters. Also, you’ll want to make sure you meet the licensing requirements for legal riding — an original or digital AM o B license is necessary, and minors can only ride as passengers if their parents are driving. If you’re expecting off-road adventures or sandy terrains, this tour won’t match those interests.
This guided family-friendly ride offers a solid mix of scenic beauty, local insights, and ease of use. It’s a delightful way to get a quick dose of Gran Canaria’s coastal charm without much fuss.

Exploring Gran Canaria on a 1-Hour E-Scooter Tour

If you’re looking for a quick, enjoyable way to see Playa del Ingles and its surroundings, this e-Scooter tour might be just what you need. The experience provider, Bici Bike Vintage, keeps it simple but memorable, with a focus on comfortable, eco-friendly transportation.
The itinerary starts inside Cita Shopping Center, near the reconstructed tower of Pisa — an easy-to-find meeting point. After a quick safety briefing, you’ll hop onto the two-seater e-Scooter, which includes a helmet and liability insurance. The small group size (up to 8 participants) means you won’t feel lost in a crowd, and guides like Lorenzo, mentioned in reviews, are noted for being friendly and knowledgeable.
Visiting the Maspalomas Dunes and Mirador de Las Dunas
The star of the tour is undoubtedly the Maspalomas Dunes Natural Reserve. These dunes stretch out in a vast, shimmering sea of golden sand, and a stop at the Mirador de Las Dunas offers a rare, panoramic perspective. From this vantage point, you’ll see why this landscape is considered one of the most striking natural features of the south of Gran Canaria.
A review from Jennifer highlights this: “We were taken to so many secluded beaches we would never have found on our own,” and the dunes are often a hidden treasure for visitors. The viewpoint is a favorite stop, offering guests a chance to snap photos or simply take in the landscape.
Playas del Ingles and Scenic City Views
Next, the tour visits the well-known Playa del Ingles, a lively beach spot packed with cafes, shops, and colorful crowds. The guide will take you to the best spots, including a higher vantage point for sweeping views of the city and coast. Expect to learn about the local history and how this area developed into one of Gran Canaria’s most popular destinations.
Practical Details and Experience Tips
To participate, you’ll need an original or digital AM o B driver’s license. The tour emphasizes safety and experience — previous scooter riding knowledge is a must. Children over 7 can ride as passengers, making this a family-friendly option, but keep in mind that the total weight limit is 160 kg on the scooter.
Since the tour is just an hour long, it’s perfect for a quick snapshot of the south coast. It’s also a flexible option for travelers who might want to combine it with other activities later in the day.
