★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 949 reviews · 30 minutes - 1 hour · from $82

Drive your own jetski along Gran Canaria’s southwest coast, guided from a safety boat, with chances to spot turtles, dolphins, and flying fish.

“Had a great time jet skiing—definitely worth the money! The experience was fun and exciting, but I would’ve appreciated a short practice area before joining the main group. I ended up getting left behind at times since there was no chance to get used to the controls or build confidence first. Still, once I got the hang of it, it was a brilliant time. Would recommend, but beginners might want to ask about a quick warm-up session before heading out.”
