Explore Maspalomas by Mountain Bike — Rentals from 4 Hours to 7 Days
Take a mountain bike through Maspalomas’ coastal promenades, volcanic roads and green valleys. Rentals from 4 hours to 7 days suit families and experienced riders—expect up to 30 km routes with significant climbs and scenic descents.
The Experience
Before You Go
Choose the right bike size
Match wheel size and frame to rider height—child and youth options are available; incorrect sizing reduces control on climbs and descents.
Avoid sand and off-road tracks
These bikes are configured for asphalt and paved bike lanes; sand and technical trails can damage components and void assistance coverage.
Bring sun and hydration gear
Canarian sun is strong year-round—carry at least 1–2 liters for shorter rides and more for full-day excursions.
Keep ID and deposit ready
A passport or ID is required and a refundable security deposit (typically €50–€100) is collected on pickup.
