Tenerife: Jet Ski Safari from Puerto Colón

If you’re dreaming of feeling the wind in your hair and the spray of the sea on your face, a jet ski safari along Tenerife’s coast might just be your perfect escape. While I haven’t personally taken this tour, reviews and descriptions paint a vivid picture of an adrenaline-fueled yet safe experience that combines adventure with stunning scenery.

What really grabs me about this tour is the opportunity to ride your own jet ski—a rare chance to control your own vessel and carve through the waves. Then, there’s the chance to see Tenerife’s coast from a fresh water perspective, with views that include beaches like Diego Hernández and Las Vistas. Plus, the professional supervision ensures safety is always front and center.

One thing to keep in mind is the actual duration—some reviewers mention the ride lasts around 45 minutes, slightly shorter than the advertised hour. This could be a consideration if you’re seeking a longer aquatic adventure.

This tour is ideal for adventurous travelers who enjoy water sports, want control over their experience, and appreciate beautiful coastal scenery. It’s perfect for those in good physical condition, confident swimmers, and anyone eager to add a splash of excitement to their Tenerife holiday.

The Experience Overview

The Tenerife Jet Ski Safari from Puerto Colón offers an energetic snapshot of the island’s southern coast. Starting at the dedicated office—the only jet ski operator in Puerto Colón with full-service facilities—guests are welcomed with warm professionalism. The nearby changing rooms and lockers mean you’re not lugging around your belongings, and you can gear up comfortably for your 1-hour ride.

Safety and Preparation

Safety is clearly a priority here. Before hitting the water, you’ll receive a comprehensive safety briefing—available in both English and Spanish—covering how to operate your jet ski and what to do in case of emergencies. The safety gear, including life jackets, is provided, and a certified rescue guide stays close by in a Zodiac boat, ready to assist at a moment’s notice.

From reviews, it’s apparent that safety measures instill confidence, even among first-timers. One reviewer recalls, “The staff, including the rescue guide, made us feel secure,” which is crucial when you’re navigating open water on a personal watercraft.

The Route and Scenic Highlights

Your 1-hour ride takes you along the southern coast, renowned for its stunning beaches and rugged cliffs. You’ll pass by Diego Hernández Beach and Las Vistas, both celebrated for their clear waters and golden sands. The views from the sea are a true highlight—crystal-clear water, the sun shining overhead, and the coastline stretching out in both directions.

While the official description emphasizes the scenic beauty, one reviewer pointed out that “the actual riding time was about 45 minutes,” with roughly 30 minutes of active jet skiing. Still, the views and thrill of racing across the waves more than make up for the slightly shorter duration.
