Photoshoot in the Dunes of Maspalomas

Planning a trip to Gran Canaria and looking for a unique way to create lasting memories? A photoshoot in the dunes of Maspalomas might just be what you need. This experience offers a blend of natural beauty, personalized service, and a touch of adventure — all wrapped into a one-hour session with a seasoned photographer. Whether you’re wanting romantic portraits, family photos, or individual shots, this tour promises picture-perfect moments in an iconic landscape.

We love the friendly approach of Gaby, the Dutch photographer, who makes you feel at ease from the first click. Her personal touch ensures each session is tailor-made to your desires, whether you’re after dramatic desert shots or relaxed family snaps. Another big plus? The dunes themselves are a spectacular backdrop, with their sweeping curves and shimmering sands that look stunning in any photo.

On the flip side, a potential consideration is that this experience does not include private transportation. You’ll need to arrange your own way to the meeting point at Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas, which might be a minor hassle if you’re staying a bit out of the way. Still, for those who want an authentic, high-quality photoshoot with a professional, the effort is well worth it. This experience is best suited for travelers who appreciate personalized service, value memorable photos, and don’t mind a short walk through the dunes.

A Close Look at the Experience

Meeting Point and Accessibility

The photoshoot begins at the Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas, located conveniently along the main avenue of Maspalomas. This central location makes it accessible whether you’re staying nearby or using public transportation. The activity ends back at the same meeting spot, so planning your transportation to and from the hotel is straightforward.

While the tour is near public transportation, travelers with mobility issues or those staying farther afield should consider how they’ll get to the starting point. It’s worth noting that the activity does not include private transport, so you may want to organize a taxi or rental car if needed.

What the Photoshoot Entails

Once you meet Gaby, you’ll head into the dunes for a short walk through some of the most photogenic spots. The dunes are a natural canvas, with sweeping sands, interesting textures, and shapes that lend themselves to dramatic or relaxed photos. Gaby takes the time to discuss your preferences—whether you want romantic, fun, or serious portraits—and guides you through poses and natural expressions.

The guided instructions ensure even those unfamiliar with modeling or photography can look natural and relaxed. The session can be customized — if you have a special request, just ask! Whether you’re a solo traveler wanting portraits, a couple seeking romantic shots, or a family aiming for fun group photos, the flexibility is significant.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The fee covers all fees and taxes, which simplifies the booking process. However, private transportation is not included, so your travel to and from the meeting point is on you. This might be a minor inconvenience but also an opportunity to explore the area beforehand.

The Quality of the Photos

Based on reviews, visitors rave about the professionalism and knowledge of Gaby and her team. One reviewer exclaimed, “They were very knowledgeable and professional.

The Scenery and Photo Opportunities

The Maspalomas dunes are a highlight of Gran Canaria, stretching over 4,000 acres and providing a unique, desert-like environment that’s perfect for visual storytelling. The landscape’s natural curves and textures create stunning visuals, and Gaby knows just where to position you for the best shot.

The Value of the Experience

At a price of $260.28 per person, the cost might seem high for just an hour, but the value comes in the professional quality, personalized service, and unforgettable scenery.
