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.

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.
Parasailing was an amazing experience! Loved every minute of it.
I went with one other person and they weren’t able to bring us from the hotel, unfortunately. However, the trip was spectacular as was the experience of riding a jet ski.
The best I have done in my life! What a rush!
Once a month I go with my girlfriend to the Playa de Taurito to ride in the canoe. It’s the best place.
I rented the jet ski with my girlfriend for 15 minutes and it was incredible. They taught me basic shortcuts and made me ready to enjoy the circuit. I’ll definitely to it again.
Great time! Taurito offered us the Jetski Gran Canaria experience.
A great experience! We had a very fun morning and the attention was excellent. It’s a unique experience we’ll definitely repeat it, they also take some souvenir pictures. 100% recommended.
A real atmosphere of tranquillity and very attentive service at all times. I felt very comfortable and at ease.
The best views that we’ve seen, like the little caves and the peaceful sea to do this sport. A delight.
Really fun and exciting. The treatment of the staff in Taurito was excellent. Highly recommended.
