Fat-Tire E-Bike Tour from Costa Calma: Craters, Beaches and Lunar Landscapes

The Experience
Before You Go
Start early to beat the wind and heat
Morning departures reduce wind exposure and cooler temperatures, making sandy sections and climbs easier.
Carry at least 1–1.5 L of water
Hydration is crucial on exposed sections; refill opportunities are limited between Costa Calma and west-side viewpoints.
Wear closed-toe shoes with some grip
Expect loose sand and rocky tracks—trail running shoes or light hiking shoes perform best.
Verify pickup point and height/weight requirements
Operator offers selected Costa Calma pickups; confirm your pickup location and bike sizing when booking.
