Full Description
Tenerife's south coast from the water
Riding a jet ski is one of the most exciting ways to see Tenerife's south coast, where black volcanic cliffs meet the deep blue Atlantic. From the sea you see beaches, resort skylines and cliff faces that you cannot appreciate from the shore. The guide sets the route and speed, stopping now and then so the whole group can regroup, take in the view and take photographs.
If you search for jet ski in Tenerife, this guided tour is a good pick for first-timers as well as experienced riders: the instructor leads at a steady pace, the group stays together and you never have to navigate or worry about the route.
Red Mountain and the coastal landmarks
Along the route the guide points out the famous landmarks of the south-east coast, such as Montana Roja, the Red Mountain, a rust-coloured volcanic cone that stands above the coastline. Seen from the water, its colours and shape are striking, and the sheltered bays nearby often have calm, clear water.
Other highlights are cliff-lined coves and, with luck, curious sea life. Sightings vary by day, so treat them as a bonus. Many riders say a guided jet ski safari in Tenerife lets them see stretches of coastline that would take hours to reach by road.
Your jet ski, the safety briefing and the rules
Before you ride, the instructor gives a safety briefing in English on controls, hand signals, speed and staying in formation. You wear a life jacket and goggles, and you ride a single jet ski on your own; the minimum age for this option is 16. A security deposit per jet ski is paid on site in cash, and it is not part of the booking price.
Follow the guide's instructions at all times. Wear swimwear or quick-drying clothes, bring a towel and sunscreen, and use the lockers for your valuables. Showers and toilets are available, so you can freshen up after the ride.
Choosing 40 minutes or 1 hour and planning your day
The 1-hour option is the best choice if you want time to cover more of the coast and take photos; the 40-minute option suits a tighter schedule or a first ride. Check the available start times on the booking panel and book early in summer, as groups are limited to eight.
The best time for jet skiing in Tenerife is morning or late afternoon, when the sea is calmer and the light is softer. Rough sea or strong wind can change the route or the timing, and the instructor makes the final safety decision.
