The Maspalomas Lighthouse, built in the 19th century, is a prominent cultural landmark. This segway tour covers approximately 5 km through diverse terrain in about one hour, offering scenic views where the wind carries the scent of salt air and wild thyme.

The Experience After a brief safety briefing and hands-on practice to master segway control with a helmet, you’ll glide smoothly through modern hotel zones and golf courses, then enter the golden dunes and the tranquil lagoon, where bird songs accompany your journey. The tour concludes at the Maspalomas Lighthouse, where panoramic views and historical insights await. The effortless, continuous motion across varied paths creates a relaxed, immersive experience.
