Feel the thrill of cutting through the Atlantic waves on a powerful jet ski. Explore the coastline of Tenerife at speed, with breathtaking views of the volcanic landscape from the water. Suitable for beginners and adrenaline-seekers alike.
Throttle down and everything else disappears
There is a moment, right after you open it up, when the noise and the spray and the slam of the water take over and you forget everything else. Jet skiing off Tenerife is loud, fast and grinning stupidly the whole way. The coast blurs past, the Atlantic opens up ahead of you, and for twenty or forty minutes you are the fastest thing on the water.
What the session is like
A guide gets you set up, runs through the controls, and then leads you out along the coast in a small group. You follow the shoreline past cliffs and coves, picking up speed where it is safe to. Dolphins sometimes appear alongside, which is a hard feeling to beat. No licence and no experience needed, just hold on and go.
Who it is for
Thrill seekers, obviously, but it is more accessible than people expect, so first timers get on fine. It is a favourite for stag do's and groups of friends. Stack up the adrenaline with a parasailing flight or a quad or buggy tour.
Before you go
Wear swimwear and expect to get soaked, because you will. There is usually a minimum age and a short safety briefing first. Listen to your guide, respect the throttle, and enjoy every second of it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licence or experience?
No. A guide gives you a quick briefing and leads the session, so complete beginners are welcome and no licence is required.
Will I get wet?
Definitely. Wear swimwear and bring a towel and dry clothes for after. Getting soaked is half the fun.
Can two people share a jet ski?
Often yes. Many operators allow a driver and a passenger on the same ski. Check when you book if you want to ride double.
Is there a minimum age?
Usually yes for driving, and younger children may ride as passengers with an adult. Age limits vary by operator.
Might we see dolphins?
Sometimes. Dolphins live along this coast, so they do occasionally appear during sessions, though it is never guaranteed.
