Water activities in Gran Canaria
The favorable weather, excellent infrastructure, and diverse array of water activities in Gran Canaria allow for year-round enjoyment.
Here are the main water activities and sports available on the island throughout the year.
Parasailing
Experience the thrill of flying over 100 meters high while enjoying some breathtaking coastal views during a parasailing flight.
Jet skis
Choose between jet skiing on a closed buoy circuit or book a jet ski tour to explore the south coast of Gran Canaria. No license is required; but participants must be of legal age to drive a jet ski.
Kayak ride
Enjoy the sea and explore the south coast of Gran Canaria while paddling in single kayaks or accompanied in a two-seater kayak.
Surfing, Kitesurfing, and Windsurfing
The island offers countless places to practice or learn these sports. The island’s prevailing southeast winds make Pozo Izquierdo Beach a favorite among expert windsurfers and kitesurfers, while beginners can enjoy learning and practicing surfing at Las Canteras Beach, particularly in the Confital and Cicer areas.
Diving and Snorkeling
Discover marine life by snorkeling or scuba diving. Practice these two disciplines in diving centers where you can hire dives or take diving courses of all levels. Experienced divers should not miss exploring the El Cabrón Marine Reserve, known for its marine life diversity.
Other options to discover marine life include diving in a submarine in Mogan or sea trekking along Anfi del Mar beach.
Water activities in the Puerto Rico area
Boat tours, parasailing, and jet ski rides are the most popular activities to do in Puerto Rico.
Water activities in the Mogán area
If you are staying in the Puerto de Mogán, Playa del Cura, or Taurito areas, you can rent a jet ski and do jet ski tours, rent kayaks, parasail, or do a boat tour.
Water activities in Playa del Ingles, Maspalomas, Meloneras, San Agustin, and Bahia Feliz
You can only jet ski or parasail, if wind conditions allow, at Playa del Inglés. For all other water activities, you can hire them and use the pickup service in Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Meloneras, San Agustín, and Bahía Feliz.
We had a spectacular time riding the jet ski and a great day in Mogan. The beach was very peaceful and the service was very good.
You’ll have a great time exercising and enjoying the open, calm sea. Although if you are not used to it, expect some muscle soreness the following day.
I loved it!! Very fun. I loved the views from the air. I went up to 100 metres.
The waiting time was too long. The tour is fine, it’s nothing to write home about, but from when we were done until we were taken back to the hotel it took more than an hour.
Fantastic. We were a group of girls and the plan was a total hit. The guide, Tony, was very attentive and patient. He took tons of pictures, so funny. Highly recommended.
We were staying in a hotel in the south and my kids and I signed up at the last minute to go kayaking. The area seemed to me to be very peaceful and nice, and the sea is so clear and blue and green. A true pleasure and delight.
My friends and I were staying in Maspalomas and we rented the skis in Taurito . It was easy to get to Taurito and we had an unforgettable day. Great service on the part of Silvia and the rest of the team.
4 friends and 4 jet skis. We each wanted to go on a jet ski because we all wanted to ride for as long as possible and it was fantastic.
Although Taurito was far from our hotel in Meloneras, they came to pick us up and drop us off at the hotel. The beach is very calm and the circuit has very few waves. Worth it.
Many thanks to Luis and the team on the beach. A pleasure to have hired you, the service is appreciated.
