Adventure brief
COMBO H
Dive into three hours of adventure with AquaSports’ COMBO H in Taurito, Gran Canaria. From off-road buggy thrills to jet ski speed and uproarious fun on the Crazy UFO, this trip packs adrenaline and laughter into one unforgettable day.
Taurito, located on the sun-drenched southern coast of Gran Canaria in Spain’s Canary Islands, offers an ideal playground for outdoor adventure seekers drawn to both land and sea. AquaSports, a standout operation in this vibrant area, delivers a high-energy, three-hour combo trip called COMBO H. This trip marries the rugged versatility of a Buggy Tour, the splash-and-speed of a Jet Ski ride, and the uproarious fun of the Crazy UFO attraction into one continuous adrenaline rush.
On the Buggy Tour, riders tear across volcanic terrain marked by rough lava fields and sparse native flora, cutting through winding dirt paths that challenge your reflexes and reward with breathtaking views of the Atlantic coastline. Gran Canaria’s diverse geology–black volcanic rocks and sudden ridges–make this off-road drive a hands-on lesson in island topography and natural history. After the land segment, the action shifts to the cerulean waters just off Taurito’s shore.
The Jet Ski ride pushes the pulse, carving waves and skimming along the bay with panoramic views of rugged cliffs fading into the distance. The ride lasts about 10 minutes, perfect for feeling the spray without fatigue. Finally, expect laughter and playful competition when joining the Crazy UFO—a water attraction that challenges your balance as you cling to a spinning, floating platform launched from a speedboat.
It’s a unique addition that sets AquaSports apart from other operators, combining humor with high-energy watercraft fun. What makes AquaSports special is its dedication to mixing multiple experiences to maximize adventure in a single outing. Their local expertise and attention to safety create an accessible yet thrilling excursion that introduces visitors to Gran Canaria’s outdoor diversity.
For anyone wanting a day packed with variety and exhilaration, COMBO H delivers an unforgettable blend of terrain and water sports, making AquaSports a must-try in the local outdoor adventure scene.
