Adventure brief

COMBO G

Combine a rugged buggy tour with a high-speed jetski safari along Gran Canaria’s dramatic southern coastline. AquaSports offers a compact, electrifying adventure that captures the island’s volcanic landscapes and Atlantic vistas all in one unforgettable outing.

Gran Canaria’s southern coast is a playground of volcanic landscapes, rugged cliffs, and crystal-clear Atlantic waters, setting the stage for AquaSports’ COMBO G trip—a hybrid adventure blending an off-road Buggy Tour with a high-octane Jetski Safari. Situated in Taurito, a quieter enclave near the bustling resort zones of Maspalomas and Puerto Rico, this experience lets visitors engage with the island’s raw natural beauty from two thrilling perspectives. The journey begins with a Buggy Tour that drives you through diverse terrain—think dusty volcanic trails, sudden dips into green ravines, and panoramic overlooks of lava-formed rock faces.

These open-air buggies are a hands-on way to feel Gran Canaria’s rugged interior without the hassle of extreme hiking, perfect for those looking for an adrenaline fix paired with authentic landscape views. Local volcanic basalt and hardened lava flows shape much of the terrain, providing a stark contrast to the island’s patches of endemic flora like the Canary Island pine and scrubby euphorbias. Midway, the action shifts to the coastline, where expert guides swap buggies for jetskis.

Here the Atlantic’s shimmering blues and island rock formations frame the route along Gran Canaria’s south shores. The jetski safari sweeps past secluded bays, dramatic cliffsides, and historic fishing coves, offering not only a rush of speed but constant photo ops of seabirds and, on lucky days, glimpses of dolphins. Operating in a responsible manner, AquaSports prioritizes conservation efforts aimed at minimizing disruptions to coastal ecosystems.

What makes COMBO G truly stand out is its layered adventure approach—three hours of continuous engagement seamlessly moving from land’s rough textures to the ocean’s fluid thrill. A local operator with deep roots in the Canary Islands, AquaSports ensures safety and knowledge on both modalities, positioning their Combo G as a must-do for tourists wanting an accessible yet unforgettable Gran Canaria thrill ride. Whether you’re passing volcanic ridges or slicing through surf, this trip is a dynamic way to register the island’s wild, varied character in a half-day window.
