Jet Ski Tour from Pasito Blanco with Hotel Transfer Gran Canaria

Pasito Blanco marina, the starting point

Pasito Blanco is a small, sheltered marina on the south coast of Gran Canaria, tucked between Meloneras and Arguineguín. Behind its stone breakwater sit rows of sailing boats and motorboats, and the water inside the harbour is calm, which makes it a comfortable place for first-time riders to get used to the jet ski before heading out to sea.

Your jet ski tour from Pasito Blanco starts and ends here. The marina has a restroom area and free parking if you prefer to drive yourself; otherwise our team picks you up from your hotel in the Maspalomas area and brings you back afterwards. Bring a T-shirt to wear under the life jacket and a change of clothes for the ride back.

The south coast of Gran Canaria from the water

The south of Gran Canaria is the sunniest part of the island, with dry golden hills dropping into the deep blue Atlantic. From the sea you see the coastline as few visitors do: low volcanic cliffs, small coves and pale beaches, with the hills of the interior rising behind. The water here is often calm in the morning, while the afternoon breeze can add a few waves for extra fun.

On this jet ski tour near Maspalomas the instructor chooses the route of the day according to sea conditions and makes two stops at scenic spots for photos and videos. If you would like to swim, just say so and the group stops in clear water so you can jump in for a few minutes before riding on.

Maspalomas, your base for the day

Maspalomas, with its famous dunes and long beaches, is the largest resort area in the south of Gran Canaria and the pickup zone for this tour. Pasito Blanco is only a short drive west, so the transfer takes little time and you can easily combine a morning or afternoon on the jet ski with time on the beach or a walk to the Maspalomas lighthouse.

With start times between 10:00 and 16:00, you can pick the slot that suits your plans. Many guests choose a morning ride for calmer water and softer light, and others prefer the afternoon, when the sea is warmer and there is more energy in the waves. Either way, the whole outing, including transfers, fits easily into half a day.

Riding the jet ski: rules and tips

Before you start, the instructor explains the controls, hand signals and safety rules, and fits each rider with a life jacket. The minimum age to drive is 16, and children from 7 can ride as passengers with their parents, at their parents' discretion. Two riders sharing a jet ski usually switch at the halfway stop, so each drives for about thirty minutes.

Groups are small, so the instructor can adapt the pace: confident riders get room to open the throttle, and beginners can take it easy. Photos and videos are not included in the price. Food and drinks are not allowed on the jet skis, and neither are alcohol or drugs; riding sober is a strict safety rule on the water.
