Maspalomas Beach Transfer

From $45

Southern Coast Getaway at Maspalomas Beach

Spend a day surrounded by golden sand dunes and perfect waters on Gran Canaria’s southern shores.

If you’re looking to spend a day on a picturesque beach doing nothing except taking in the sun and enjoying the sea, Maspalomas is the best place to be. While the area has a number of resorts, beach bars, and boutiques (and a necessary lighthouse), it also includes a natural space of palms, sand dunes, and a pond where birds rest during migration periods between Africa and mainland Europe. For a day spent relaxing in the sun, this beach is the perfect getaway.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price.

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.

Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
