You can meet at the entrance to Puerto del Carmen harbour, opposite the petrol station, or add hotel pick-up for €5 a person. At the base you change into a wetsuit and life jacket, then head out from the harbour for a safety briefing on handling the jet ski.
Then you follow the guide in a small group of up to eight along the coast. There are three routes. The Playa Quemada route, about 40 minutes, passes the Barranco del Quíquere and Puerto Calero to the quiet beaches of Playa Quemada. The Papagayo route, about an hour, runs past Puerto Calero towards the golden beaches of the south. The South route, about two hours, goes all the way past Punta Papagayo to Papagayo beach and the Las Coloradas coast.
Afterwards you return to the port, change and, if you booked it, are driven back to your hotel. Lockers are included. Bring your passport or ID and swimwear. Groups are small, eight at most.

It is the main jet ski product on the island, with the most reviews, and the choice of routes lets you pick a short thrill or a long coastal run to Papagayo. It is the fastest way to see the south coast from the sea.
The Papagayo boat trips reach the same beaches at a gentler pace, with time to swim. The buggy tour from Costa Teguise is the same operator’s dry-land adventure in the north.
Couples can share one jet ski, which halves the cost per person, and the routes run from a quick 40 minutes to a two-hour trip that reaches Papagayo beach. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before, you can reserve now and pay later, and the listing notes it often sells out.
