Jet Skiing Tenerife Compare 5 Trips, Book With Locals

For most first-time visitors the best jet ski trip in Tenerife is the 2-hour jet ski safari from Las Galletas: the longest guided ocean route of the group trips, with pickup from a point near your hotel in the south. Guests near Puerto Colón prefer the Costa Adeje departure, scenery lovers choose Los Gigantes, and groups who want nobody else on the water book the private trip. Club Canary compares all five honestly on this page.

One hour is ideal for quick action and smaller budgets, two hours gives the complete ocean experience with more coastline and more riding time. The honest Club Canary rule: first-timers who can spare the morning rarely regret the 2-hour safari. Friends who each want their own machine and a short, strong session usually take the 1-hour ride.

Good question, because we post videos from all our jet ski trips, in Tenerife and on the other islands, and a video does not always say which one it is. Quick guide for Tenerife: big cliffs and rock walls is the Los Gigantes safari on the west coast, about one hour, no pickup. Open ocean, waves and the southern resorts in the background is Las Galletas, the 1-hour ride or the 2-hour safari. A marina full of boats and hotels right behind it is Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. One group alone with its own boat is the private trip. Each trip has its own route, price and rules, so always check the photos and description on the trip page before you book. Fastest way: send the video to Club Canary on WhatsApp and we tell you in one minute which trip it is.

Dolphins and whales are not part of any jet ski trip, and Club Canary does not promise them. The guides never chase marine life. If animals appear, the guide cuts the engines and the group watches from a distance, which is the rule and the right thing to do. If you want to see the resident pilot whales properly, book a whale watching boat trip, that is what those are for.

Ocean. The 2-hour safari is a ride, not a sightseeing tour: there is no guide explaining the coast, no caves and no commentary. You follow the guide boat along the south coast, jump waves, open the throttle on the long stretches, see beaches and volcanic cliffs pass by, and get calm moments to look around and swap drivers on a double. It is not a postcard, it is a lot of fun, and it is never circles in a roped-off box.

The 1-hour ride and the 2-hour safari from Las Galletas include pickup from a meeting point near your hotel in Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas and Costa Adeje, and the private trip includes hotel pickup for up to 8 guests. The Costa Adeje and Los Gigantes departures have no pickup: guests walk or drive to the marina.

South Tenerife is the island's jet ski heartland. Las Galletas has the long guided rides with pickup, Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje is the most convenient walk-in departure, and Los Gigantes has the most dramatic scenery with cliffs up to 600 metres. Club Canary compares all of them on this page and books each one directly, so you pick by where you stay and what you want, not by who shouts loudest.

No. Every jet ski trip in Tenerife is guided by law, so no driving licence is needed. You get a safety briefing before departure and follow a professional guide on the water while driving your own machine. Driving ages differ per trip, from 16 on most departures and 18 in Los Gigantes, and under 24s should bring ID. The exact rules are on every trip page.

Yes. Double jet skis carry two people on every trip Club Canary offers, and on most routes you can swap drivers at calm moments when the guide allows it. Prices are per jet ski, not per person, so a double is the cheapest way for couples and friends to ride. Solo riders book a single jet ski instead.

Yes. All trips are guided, life jackets are mandatory and included, and the briefing keeps the controls simple. The jet skis are modern Sea-Doo models set to a strong but safe speed that beginners handle within minutes. Tell the Club Canary team it is your first time and the guide keeps a closer eye on you until you find your rhythm.

Yes, as passengers with an adult on a double jet ski. Children ride from 7 years on the Las Galletas, Costa Adeje and private trips, and from 8 years in Los Gigantes, where a minimum height and a combined weight limit also apply. Club Canary lists the exact rules on every trip page and checks them with you when booking, so no family gets a surprise at the marina.

Phones and cameras stay on land on every trip, both hands stay on the bars, and storage is available at each base. On the group trips the crew offers an optional action photo package on the day, shot from the guide boat. On the private trip the professional photos are included free, with the compliments of Club Canary.

Yes. Club Canary arranges a fully private jet ski trip where no other customers join: the guide boat, the route and the pace belong to your group only, with Sea-Doo jet skis, free professional photos and pickup for up to 8 guests. It is the choice for couples who want the ocean to themselves, families, company outings and celebrations.

Yes. Club Canary was born in Tenerife in 2019 and jet ski trips were one of the first things we ever booked, so by now we are the old hands of jet skiing in the Canaries: we know the marinas, the guides and the honest version of every ride. Tenerife has the biggest choice, with the five trips on this page. In Gran Canaria we book a guided jet ski safari along the coast from Puerto Rico. In Lanzarote there are guided rides from Puerto del Carmen. In Fuerteventura you can ride from Morro Jable in the south or from Corralejo in the north, plus a short jet ski hire for a quick blast. Same local team, same honest prices, same WhatsApp number on every island.
