Adventure brief
COMBO A
Jump into an hour of jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boat fun with AquaSports in Taurito. Ride the waves, soar above the sea, and finish with a splash in this all-in-one watersport adventure.
Taurito, located on the southern coast of Gran Canaria in Spain’s Canary Islands, offers sun-soaked waters and a lively seascape perfectly suited for high-energy ocean activities. At AquaSports, visitors can dive into a dynamic hour-long trip known as COMBO A, which packs jet skiing, parasailing, and banana boat rides into a single, action-filled outing. This multi-activity adventure begins with jet skiing along the coastal waves—feel the powerful engine beneath you as you steer a nimble craft up to three people can share.
The spray of the Atlantic and the warmth of the Canary sun set the stage for an exhilarating 15 minutes on the water. Then, the experience shifts skyward with parasailing: tethered to a boat, you ascend to impressive heights above the ocean, taking in panoramic views of Taurito’s rocky cliffs, crystal-clear water, and stretches of untouched beach. The adrenaline of soaring combines with a serene perspective rarely accessible on land.
The trip concludes with a lively banana boat ride, where the focus is pure fun and teamwork. Hold tight as the boat cuts through the waves, bouncing and swaying in rhythm with the ocean. This final leg is ideal for families and groups ready to share laughs and splash-filled memories.
AquaSports stands out in Taurito by offering this varied combo under one booking, blending independent thrills with social water play. Operating year-round under favorable Canary Islands weather, the company provides expert guidance, ensures safety, and adapts activities to sea conditions for an optimal experience. Beyond the ride, Taurito's volcanic rock formations and endemic flora add character to your backdrop, while the local surf culture and seafaring history enrich the context of your day out.
Whether you’re new to water sports or seeking a bold way to connect with Gran Canaria’s coast, COMBO A with AquaSports delivers a memorable ocean escape that redefines adventure classics.
