e-Scooter or e-Bike Maspalomas Tour+Visit Western Town Sioux City

If you’re thinking about a fun, active way to see some of the most eye-catching spots in Gran Canaria, this e-Scooter or e-Bike tour combined with a visit to Sioux City might just be what you’re looking for. It promises a mix of coastal beauty and a trip back to the American Wild West — all in just about three hours.

What we really like about this experience is how it balances scenic views with a touch of playful history. You get to cruise along the coast, taking in the famous dunes and beaches, then step into an impressively detailed Wild West town filled with shows and activities. One of the best parts? The small group size means it feels personal and relaxed.

However, a consideration to keep in mind is the requirement for a valid driving license for the e-scooter, plus the fact that children under 7 aren’t allowed on the scooters, so this isn’t ideal if you’re traveling with very young kids. Also, it’s a bit of a physical activity, so it’s best suited for those with moderate fitness levels.

This tour is well-suited for adventurous travelers who love a blend of nature, history, and a dash of fun. It’s perfect for small groups or families who enjoy getting around actively and want a memorable snapshot of Gran Canaria’s highlights.

A Closer Look at the Experience

Let’s walk through what you can expect from this tour, which combines a coastal adventure with a trip back to the Old West.

Starting Point and Departure

The tour begins at Bici Bike Vintage’s shop in Maspalomas at 10:00 am. From there, you’re equipped with either a 2-seater e-scooter or an e-bike—both come with helmets included. The group is limited to 10, which keeps things intimate and manageable, especially for those new to e-mobility.

The Coastal Highlights

Your first stops are along the coast, starting with the Reserva Natural Especial de Las Dunas de Maspalomas. Here, you’ll stop at a panoramic viewpoint to admire the dunes, which stretch roughly 7 km and are protected as a natural reserve. It’s a great photo op and an opportunity to learn how these beautiful golden sands formed.

Next, you’ll visit Playa del Inglés, arguably the most famous and bustling beach in the south. The promenade here is flat and cycle-friendly, offering stunning views of the Atlantic. It’s a lively spot, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere or grabbing a quick coffee if you decide to linger a bit.

Following that, you’ll head to Playa de San Agustín, with its unique black volcanic sand—a reminder of Gran Canaria’s volcanic origins. It’s a smaller, more tranquil spot, good for a quick visit. The last coastal stop is Playa del Aguila, a tiny beach made up of pebbles and volcanic sand, offering a different vibe and a chance to appreciate the island’s volcanic landscape up close.

The Wild West Adventure: Sioux City

After the coastal exploration, it’s time for the highlight: Sioux City, a huge Wild West theme park sprawling over 320,000 square meters. Opened in 1971, this recreated Old West town features authentic-looking buildings: a sheriff’s office, bank, saloon, church, and even an Indian reservation.

Here, you’ll enjoy main street shows and saloon performances that are included in the ticket. As one reviewer noted, “Lorenzo clearly knows the park well and we were welcomed in and shown around,” making the experience more engaging. For families or those interested in history with a playful twist, Sioux City offers a fun, immersive experience. Plus, there’s a small zoo for the little ones.

The park’s shows are designed to be lively, with actors portraying classic cowboy and Indian characters, bringing the Old West to life. The experience is enhanced by the fact that Sioux City is one of the most significant theme parks in Europe recreating the American Old West, and recent filming of Zorro took place there, adding an authentic touch.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The tour price covers your 1-hour use of e-scooter or e-bike, helmets, the entry into Sioux City, and the main street and saloon shows. The ticket is quite reasonable considering it includes both transportation and entry to a major theme park.

Lunch isn’t included, but you can opt for a typically American fast food meal at the Sioux City saloon for an additional fee. Beverages are also available for purchase, so you can keep refreshed during the park visit.

Practical Considerations

The activity lasts about three hours, and the group size keeps it manageable but still lively. It’s designed for those with moderate physical fitness, as you’ll be active for a good part of the day.

A couple of important points: a valid driving license (original or digital AM or B license) is needed for the e-scooter, and children under 7 are not permitted on the scooters. For safety, closed shoes are required—flip-flops or sandals aren’t allowed.

If you’re comfortable with scooters or bikes, you’ll find this tour straightforward. Our reviews show that even those new to e-bikes found it easy to pick up, thanks to clear instructions from guides like Lorenzo.

What the Reviews Say

Travelers consistently praise the guides, with comments like, “The guide made sure we were safe,” and highlight how much they enjoyed the variety of vantage points and the overall experience. One reviewer mentioned that even with a small group, the experience felt personalized and fun, especially when their son was chosen to participate in Sioux City’s shows.

The mix of coastal beauty, active mobility, and the entertainment of Sioux City appeals to those looking for a mix of outdoor adventure and lighthearted fun.

Who Will Love This Tour?

This experience is perfect for adventurers who enjoy a bit of physical activity combined with sightseeing. If you love the idea of zipping along coastlines, exploring beaches, and then stepping back into an old-fashioned Wild West town, this will hit the spot.

It’s also well-suited for families or small groups of friends who want a personalized, engaging tour that covers both natural beauty and entertainment. Keep in mind the age and licensing requirements if you’re traveling with children or are not confident on scooters.

People who are happy to pay a bit extra for an all-in-one experience—including transportation, guide service, and park entry—will find this to be a really good value, especially given the positive reviews about the guides and the park.
