The 15 Best Things to Do in Maspalomas & Playa del Inglés

69 tours  ·  from $11 a head

The south strip runs from the lighthouse to the dune reserve and holds most of the island’s beds. These 15 are what to book from it: the camel trains, the boats leaving the marina, the buggies heading inland and the parks a bus ride away.

Review Aqualand Maspalomas, with 40-plus slides, family pools, practical costs, queue tips, and advice on whether it is worth a full day.

“Had an excellent day! The park is set out well with plenty of room. Very expensive to eat so took own food and drinks. Queues were huge so that’s why 3 stars for value. We bought fast past wrist bands in the end so ended up being an expensive (but fun!) day out!”

The doors opened at 10am, you have an hour or so to go around than from 11:30 until about 1:30 there are shows. After that there is a bbq (you have to pay but you do get a 15% off voucher). Stuff were very friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend booking this”

This is our first experience with a friend, and it's cool that the instructors pay a lot of attention to each participant, they encourage when it doesn't work, they're happy when it works :) great experience🙌 I want to repeat and learn to catch and conquer the waves 🏄‍♀️ I was worried before booking, whether it won't be boring if you don't know anything about surfing, but it was quite fun and interesting thanks to the instructors🙌 One minus: there were too many people (from other schools) and there was a fear of bumping into someone, as well as the waiting time…”
