Jetski Abenteuer Teneriffa

Die beste Jetski-Safari auf Teneriffa für ein echtes Meereserlebnis ist diese 2-stündige geführte Tour ab Las Galletas. Sie ist länger, besser organisiert, verwendet stabile Sea-Doo-Jetskis und beinhaltet eine kostenlose Abholung vom Hotel, was sie zur ersten Wahl für clevere Reisende und Gäste in 4- und 5-Sterne-Hotels macht. Andere Ausflüge sind kurze Strandschleifen. Dies ist die typische Jetski-Safari der Insel.

Because for roughly the price of a short harbour ride you get the long version: about 60 km of coast, around an hour and a half actually on the water, a guide with a support boat, a small group of about eight, and pickup from a meeting point near your hotel included. You eat breakfast, walk a few minutes to the point, and the rest is organised. Compared with a twenty minute loop near a beach kiosk it is not close.

No, not at any stage. The open ocean is bumpy even on a calm day, and the jolts on a wave are exactly what should be avoided during pregnancy. The operator refuses pregnant riders for safety and insurance reasons, and so do we. Tell us before booking and we help you find something gentler, a boat trip or a catamaran afternoon for example.

Passengers from 7 years old, sitting behind an adult on a double jet ski. Drivers from 16 years old, with written permission from a parent or guardian, and every driver under 24 brings a valid ID to check-in. Younger children stay on land; there is no exception to that one, because a life jacket does not make a four year old safe at speed on open water.

Not required. Most people ride in swimwear from spring to autumn. On cooler or windier days, or if you simply feel the cold, the base lends you a wetsuit for free at check-in. Bring swimwear under your clothes, a towel and sunscreen, and decide on the suit when you see the water.

One lever. Squeeze the throttle under your right hand to go, let it go to slow down, and lean a little into the turns. There is no brake and nothing to shift. The guide explains it on land, you practise the first minutes at low speed out of the harbour, and most first-timers are relaxed before the group reaches open water. If it is your first time, say so, the guide keeps an eye on you.

The Sea-Doo GTI 130 models reach about 50 to 60 km/h, which feels a lot faster on open water than it sounds on paper. The speed is set at the maximum the insurance and the sea allow; faster would not be more fun, it would just be more falls. On the open stretches the guide lets the group open up, on the scenic stretches everyone slows down to look around.

A single jet ski carries a maximum of 120 kg, a double a maximum of 160 kg for both riders together, and never more than two people per jet ski. These are the operator's safety limits and they are checked at the base; over the limit means no ride and no refund. Close to the limit? Message Club Canary before booking and we advise which option fits.

Yes, on a double jet ski. The guide stops the group at calm moments along the route and that is when you swap seats, as often as the conditions allow on a ride this long. Two singles are the option if you both want to drive the whole way.

Often, not always. When the sea is calm the guide picks a sheltered spot for a short swim from the jet skis, which is one of the best moments of the trip. When the swell or the current is up, the stop is skipped for safety. It is a bonus, not a promise, so do not book for the swim alone.

All departures begin at Marina del Sur in Las Galletas. Pickup is included from set meeting points near your hotel in Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje, usually a bus stop or a well known hotel a few minutes on foot from where you stay. Playa Paraíso and Callao Salvaje carry a small supplement paid on the day; La Caleta and Palm Mar, ask us and we check the nearest point.

Write your hotel name when booking and Club Canary assigns the closest meeting point; apartment or Airbnb guests write the nearest hotel. Your point and time come with your ticket, usually about 30 minutes before the start. Be there five minutes early, the minibus leaves on time and does not wait, and a missed pickup counts as a no-show. After the safari the transfer back can take a little while depending on traffic, so wait at the base.

Only by arrangement with Club Canary before booking, and direct arrivals pay the full amount in advance. The reason is simple: the base is past the airport and that road jams without warning, so direct guests arrived late far too often and the safari cannot wait. If you do drive, be at the meeting point at least 30 minutes early; arriving after the group has left means you miss the ride and there is no refund.

Sometimes, and when it happens it is special, but this is a jet ski safari, not a whale watching trip, and nobody can promise sightings. If dolphins or pilot whales appear, the guide stops the engines and keeps the legal distance while you watch. Want guaranteed animal time? Book a proper whale watching boat and keep the jet skis for the speed.

Sehr unwahrscheinlich. Jetskis bewegen sich schnell und stehen nicht still wie Boote.

No. For safety the base does not allow phones or cameras on the jet ski, not even a GoPro on a strap or in a pouch. Everything stays in the free locker at the harbour. The guide boat takes action photos of every rider during the safari, and you can look at them afterwards and buy them only if you like them.

Normally around eight jet skis, so up to sixteen people, plus the guide in a support boat. Big enough to be fun, small enough that the guide knows who is where and nobody is waiting in a queue to get going.

Es ist ein echtes, geführtes Langstreckenerlebnis. Etwa 60 km Küstenlinie, Wellen, Ausblicke und Geschwindigkeit. Keine kurze Strandmiete, keine Schleife in der Nähe des Hafens. Es ist die echte Version, die von Einheimischen und erfahrenen Reisenden am meisten empfohlen wird.

Swimwear, a towel and sunscreen; you ride barefoot and in your swimwear, with a life jacket on top. A wetsuit is free at the base if you want one. Shoes, phone, camera and anything else go in the locker, because nothing comes on the jet ski. Sunglasses only with a strap, the sea has a big collection already.

Because the base is in Las Galletas, past the airport, and that road jams without warning. Driving yourself means traffic, a parking hunt and a real chance of arriving after the group has left, which is a lost ride with no refund. With pickup, you walk a few minutes to a meeting point near your hotel, the minibus does the driving, and you are back at the same point two and a half hours later. It is the part of the trip people underrate until they have tried it the other way.

In cash, or by card only if you bring a printed copy of your ticket; without a printed ticket the base cannot take cards. Club Canary prints your ticket for free at the office in Plaza del Duque, Costa Adeje. Every rider also shows a passport or ID card at check-in, a photo on your phone is fine.
