Combine an easy coastal e-bike route with a 30-minute camel ride across the famed Maspalomas Dunes. This family-friendly outing mixes seaside cycling, a protected dune ecosystem and a chance to spot migratory birds.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll onto the seaside promenade as the Atlantic wind pushes the palms and the golden dunes loom ahead, daring you to cross them. The route threads coastal boulevards and safe cycle paths, then slows at a mirador with a broad view of Playa del Inglés and the ragged line of sand. After a guided pedal you trade two wheels for the slow, steady gait of a camel and spend thirty minutes crossing the Protected Natural Area of Maspalomas.

Conservation
Maspalomas is a designated protected natural area — stay with the guide, avoid trampling vegetation, and follow rules for camel routes to limit disturbance to wildlife.

Time your ride
Book morning or late-afternoon slots to avoid midday heat and strong sun on exposed dunes.
Bring hydration

Wear closed shoes
Choose sturdy, closed-toe shoes for stable mounting/dismounting and for the camel boarding area.
Respect wildlife
Keep noise low around the lagoon; many migratory birds use the site and guides will point out viewing spots.
