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 went from Taurito almost to Mogan via kayak. It was great.
Received great attention from the monitors. Very high quality based on the beach area and the service.
Our children gifted us with a parasailing flight and it was like nothing else we’ve experienced. It felt like time stopped up there. Amazing views. Super fun but the water was quite cold!!
They picked us up at our hotel and took us to Taurito’s beach. We loved driving the jet ski. Great service. I recommend it.
A unique experience. My son and I were visiting the island and he convinced me to try it. The adrenaline rush is amazing.
A beautiful tour with a lot of adrenaline. The views of the cliffs, beaches and caves we found on our way were amazing, and driving the jetski was very exciting
I rented a tandem kayak with my girlfriend and we were always laughing, directing each other when we had to move the paddle hahaha. It was worth it.
I was on holiday in Gran Canaria and always have wanted to go parasscendinging. It was amazing to see everything from so high up. The views of the beach and the coast were beautiful. Also, they came to pick us up at the hotel. Very friendly and well organized.
Silvia and her group know what they’re doing and have been doing it for quite some time. We’re grateful for the patience of the instructors and guides and we don’t hesitate to recommend it to all of our friends.
Once a month I go with my girlfriend to the Playa de Taurito to ride in the canoe. It’s the best place.
