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 to Taurito beach, which is very peaceful. We loved going canoeing.
I enjoyed it with a friend and we had no idea, but I ended up with more aches from laughing than from doing sport. All of the sea and Mogan were very beautiful.
Good circuit and few waves. Fantastic. We rented two jet skis for 30 minutes. They came to pick us up from our hotel in Playa de Inglés. Very good service.
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.
Great!! My husband had always wanted to try this experience and we both had as much fun as if we were children
I recommend them to anyone who likes speed more than anything else. Experience the adrenaline and, in my opinion, the waters of the Canaries are unbeatable.
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 think that the kayaking area is the best in Gran Canaria because there were barely any waves and we could kayak quite easily.
Received great attention from the monitors. Very high quality based on the beach area and the service.
We had a great time.
