The Ride and the Sights

The tour kicks off inside Cita Shopping Center, conveniently located near the Pisa Tower entrance—an easy spot to find and meet your guide. After a quick safety briefing and helmet fitting, you’ll hop on your chosen ride—either an e-scooter or e-bike, depending on your selection. The guides are experienced and help ensure everyone feels comfortable before setting out.

You’ll start with a scenic one-hour ride through the Maspalomas Dunes and along Playa del Ingles. These dunes are arguably Gran Canaria’s most iconic natural feature—vast, golden, and ever-shifting. We’ve seen photos and videos, and honestly, experiencing the dunes on a scooter or bike feels more dynamic than just walking. The sea breeze in your hair and the sound of the waves add to the sense of freedom as you glide along the coast.

The guide points out interesting spots along the way, sharing snippets about the local landscape, the film sets shot here (like scenes from the ‘Zorro’ series), and the beach’s lively vibe. It’s a brisk but relaxed ride, perfect for fitting in a lot in just an hour, without feeling rushed.

Sioux City Western Park: A Wild West Escape

After the scenic ride, the tour continues with entrance into Sioux City Western Park—a sprawling 320,000 m² set designed to resemble an authentic American Wild West town. You’ll get a chance to stroll through detailed replicas of old-fashioned houses, a church, a ranch, a bank, and a saloon, which really transports you to another time period.

What makes Sioux City stand out are the live shows included in your ticket. We loved how the performances aren’t just staged but actively involve humor, action, and a bit of drama. Expect to see cowboy shows, a cattle drive, a bank robbery reenactment, duels, and fights—think authentic scenes brought to life with a lively twist. As one reviewer summarized, “wild west was good, 10-minute horse ride holding animals and seeing the show photos with cowboys.”

The set design is pretty detailed, and you can walk through the streets, peeking into shops and settings that look like they belong in a classic Western movie. Plus, you get the chance to see where some scenes from films like ‘Take a Hard Ride’ and ‘Zorro’ were shot, which adds a touch of Hollywood glamour to your western adventure.

Shows and Entertainment

The live performances are a highlight—actor-led, humorous, and energetic. They’re well-paced and entertaining, making the experience feel lively and authentic. The cowboy shows include a cattle drive, shootouts, and duels, all performed with good humor and some audience interaction. If you’re traveling with kids or love a bit of theatrical fun, these shows fit the bill.

Pro tip: The shows are included in your ticket, but some reviews mention that there’s a possibility of additional costs—like paying for food or drinks at the Saloon. The tour includes the entrance and main shows, so expect a well-rounded Wild West experience without hidden charges, but be prepared to purchase extras if needed.

Practical Details: What to Expect

The entire experience lasts about three hours. The first hour is dedicated to riding through the dunes and along the coast, which feels just right—enough time to soak in the scenery without fatigue. The second part includes the visit to Sioux City and the shows, which are a highlight for many travelers.

The group size is limited to just 10 participants, making it more intimate and allowing guides to give personalized attention. This is great if you prefer a smaller group rather than large, noisy tours. The ride options are designed to be accessible, but you should be comfortable riding a scooter or bike, as a driver’s license and some experience are necessary for scooter drivers.

Pricing is around $106 per person, which might seem steep at first glance, but when you factor in the park entrance, shows, and guided tour, it’s a package deal for quite a bit of entertainment and sightseeing.
