If you enjoy exploring at a relaxed pace, want to stay eco-friendly, and love the idea of seaside thrill rides, this combo could be just what you need.

What makes this experience stand out? First, the ease of transport—a two-seater electric scooter that’s not only fun but also eco-conscious. Second, the flexibility—you can choose to explore the dunes, beaches, and coastal villages at your own pace.

Getting Started and What’s Included

Upon arrival, the staff will equip you with all the essentials: a paper map, mobile holder to keep your device handy, helmet for safety, a lock to secure your scooter, and standard insurance for peace of mind. They’ll also show you the main points of interest and give tips on the best routes—so even if you’re unfamiliar with the area, you’ll have guidance to make the most of your time.

Driving Requirements and Safety

You need to be at least 15 years old and possess an original European driving license—either a type AM or B license—to operate the scooter legally. For minors, they must be accompanied by at least one paying parent driver. The maximum combined weight on the scooter is 160 kg, so it’s suitable for two average-sized travelers. It’s worth noting that going inside the dunes, on the beach, or off-road isn’t permitted, so this is primarily a road-based exploration.

The Route and Main Attractions

The staff will point out the most beautiful and interesting spots, with the Maspalomas Dunes as a highlight. This vast, protected area of towering sand mountains is a must-see for nature lovers. You can also visit Meloneras Beach, known for its scenic coastal promenade, and Playa del Ingles, one of the most lively beaches on the island.

If you choose to, you can also visit Pasito Blanco, a charming fishing village renowned for its delicious seafood tapas. The golden sands of Maspalomas Beach and the black volcanic sands of San Agustin are other highlights where you can stop for a quick dip or a photo.

Adding the Jet Ski Experience

What makes this combo truly appealing is the optional jet ski ride. For an extra 30 minutes, you can hop on a jet ski in Playa del Ingles, riding in a circuit rather than venturing freely on open water. The jet skis are double-seaters, so a driver must be at least 16 years old, and passengers need to be at least 7 years old. The session costs €90 per jet ski (for 2 people), payable at the shop.

The jet ski circuit is limited to a specific area, which means no long-distance rides or exploring beyond the designated zone. It’s perfect if you want a quick burst of adrenaline and a chance to see the coastline from a different perspective.

The Experience in Practice: Pros and Cons

We loved how straightforward the operation was—everything from the check-in to getting on the scooter felt smooth. The staff’s guidance was clear; they shared helpful tips on the best routes and points of interest, which we appreciated. The scooter itself felt stable and easy to handle, making it suitable even for those with little experience on two wheels.

The scenic routes along the coast are a real highlight. Cruising past the dunes and beaches, with the sun shining overhead, creates a sense of freedom that’s hard to beat. Plus, the eco-friendly aspect of electric scooters means you’re exploring without adding to noise or pollution, aligning well with a responsible way to enjoy nature.

The 30-minute jet ski segment offers a quick burst of excitement. Although it’s confined to a circuit and doesn’t venture out into the open sea, it’s a fun way to break up the land exploration and get your adrenaline going.

On the downside, some might find the cost of the jet ski a bit steep relative to the short experience, especially since it’s limited to a circuit. Also, because the scooter isn’t permitted on the dunes or beaches like the sand or off-road terrain, it might feel limiting if you’re craving a more adventurous ride.

The Reviews Speak Volumes

Two recent reviews give a solid sense of what to expect. One traveler from Belgium called it “Top”, highlighting the overall fun and smooth process. Another from Switzerland described it as “Perfekt”, which suggests high satisfaction. Both reviewers appreciated the friendly guidance and the chance to explore some of Gran Canaria’s most iconic spots in a relaxed, enjoyable way.

Who is This Experience Best Suited For?

This combo is ideal for travelers who want to see the highlights of the southern coast without the hassle of renting a car or booking multiple tours. It suits those who enjoy active sightseeing with a side of adventure, and who are comfortable with the legal requirements of driving an electric scooter.

It’s especially good for couples, friends, or solo adventurers who want to cover a good stretch of scenery without sacrificing comfort. If you’re a family with older children (above 15 with a license), it can be a memorable and fun outing. However, it’s probably not suitable for very young children or those over 70 years old, given the physical requirements and safety considerations.

Final Thoughts

All in all, this combo of e-Scooter rental with optional jet ski ride offers a practical and enjoyable way to explore some of Gran Canaria’s best coastal sights. The electric scooter makes cruising around easy and eco-friendly, with helpful guidance and all the essentials provided. The short jet ski experience adds a fun twist for thrill-seekers, although it’s limited to a circuit.

For those who want to combine land and water fun in a manageable timeframe, this offer scores high on value and enjoyment. Just keep in mind the specific restrictions about where you can go and the costs involved with the jet ski side of things.
