Drive your own jet ski along the dramatic southern coastline of Gran Canaria on a guided 1‑ or 2‑hour safari. The route threads past sea caves, volcanic cliffs and concealed beaches; operators say the craft are easy to handle and the trip often brings encounters with marine life such as turtles, flying fish and sometimes dolphins.

THE ROUTE

Taurito, Mogán and the Tasartico coast

Departures from Taurito or Mogán take you along the coast in easy‑to‑handle jet skis, passing the sea caves of Tasartico and the rocky line of Tasarte before following the shore toward more remote beaches.

WILDLIFE & SCENERY

Regular marine-life sightings and volcanic silhouettes

Riders frequently spot marine life—turtles and flying fish are common, and dolphins appear occasionally—while the longer route offers the chance to glimpse the distant silhouette of Teide rising from the horizon.

SECRET BEACHES

Reach secluded stretches like Güi‑Güi on the 2‑hour safari

The 2‑hour safari extends beyond Tasarte to the remote, emblematic beach of Güi‑Güi—often described as a hidden paradise—making the longer tour equally about discovery as it is speed.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

The experience is a guided, hands‑on ride: licensed guides lead small groups while you pilot your own jet ski for either one or two hours. The shorter option delivers a concentrated coastal run near Mogán and Taurito; the longer option pushes out to more distant, secluded beaches and coastal landmarks.
