What to do and see in Maspalomas, Canary Islands: The Best Walking Tours

December 29, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

Maspalomas is a sophisticated beach resort… that happens to have a great waterpark. Aqualand Maspalomas is the Canary Islands' largest waterpark, with 33 waterslides. If that's not your style, just relax on a beach with powder-soft sand and majestic dunes, or enjoy abundant shopping and golf.

If you are looking for a more personal and higher quality experience than the large bus commercial tours, the team at Sky Rebels is it. They were fun, friendly and knew the local history of Gran Canaria. Throughout my day trip with them, they answered any question I had and clearly enjoyed showing me their island and culture. The picnic lunch used all local ingredients and was very tasty. They paced the hike up to Roque Nublo very well, with each stop being a perfect chance to point out more history, geology or just an awesome view. Really enjoyable day.

It was a great experience working with Aljosa. Although it was our first time doing a pre-wedding photoshoot and we were nervous, Aljosa made us feel at ease and gave us directions on how to pose. He also had a clear idea of what sights and locations would make for beautiful photos. Needless to say, we loved our photos and would highly recommend Aljosa to take yours! :)

Highly recommend this tour!!! The electric bikes were great fun,super speedy but also easy to get the hang of. Lorenzo was an excellent guide. Really knew the history of the area and took us along a mainly coastal footpath route mostly avoiding traffic. The highlights were a sunset cafe where we stopped for a drink/ice cream and the grand dunes- Lorenzo kindly extended the tour so we could enjoy the magnificent sunset over the dunes-which was simply breathaking. An excellent tour and excellent guide- highly recommend!
