Tenerife Water Sports Package with 40 Min. Jet Ski and Parascending for 2 People

The best part of this Tenerife package is the quick change of pace: you race along the coast on a jet ski, then rise above the sea behind a boat on a parascending flight. It gives you two very different views of Tenerife in one outing, with the jet ski normally heading toward Playa San Juan and sometimes Los Cristianos.

I like the free storage for a small backpack and the practical touch of wetsuits when needed. I also like that instructors handle the safety briefing and equipment, so you do not need prior experience. The main thing to consider is that the route and even the running of both activities depend on sea conditions.

Key points to know before you book

• Two water sports in one outing: Ride a jet ski for about 40 minutes, then take a parasailing flight from a second boat.
• Playa San Juan is the usual route: Los Cristianos may replace it when conditions make that a better option.
• Arrive 20 minutes early: You need time for the safety briefing, life jacket, and transfer to the activity boat.
• Drivers must be 18: A passenger can be as young as 10, but the minimum age applies differently to the person driving.
• A small-group format: The activity has a maximum of two participants, making it a good fit for a pair.
• Plan for extra costs: Hotel transport may not be included, and souvenir photos cost extra.

From Puerto Colón to the open water

Your meeting point is Water Sports Tenerife at Calle Colón 6, inside the Escuela Náutica at Puerto Colón in Adeje. This is also where the activity finishes, so you can leave your hotel transport and daily plans separate from the water sports session.

You should arrive 20 minutes before your chosen start time. The available start times are 13:00 and 15:00. That early arrival is not needless padding. It gives the staff time to provide your life jacket, explain the safety rules, and get you ready for the boat transfer.

The first boat does not take you directly onto a jet ski at the dock. Instead, it carries you out to the instructor, who explains how to operate the machine. This matters if you have never used a jet ski before. You get basic instructions before setting off, rather than being expected to work things out while moving.

The activity is supervised by professional instructors and includes the required safety equipment. That makes this a fairly easy water sport to try for the first time, though you still need to be comfortable around the sea and able to follow instructions.

A small backpack can be kept in free locked storage, which is useful if you arrive with a phone, wallet, or change of clothes. You should still keep your belongings to a minimum. Souvenir photos are available to buy, but they are not part of the price.

The 40-minute jet ski safari

The jet ski section lasts about 40 minutes. On a normal day, the route heads toward Playa San Juan, giving you a moving view of Tenerife’s southern coast from the water rather than from a road or promenade.

This is not simply a stationary jet ski lesson. You travel along the coast with an instructor, making the ride feel like a short safari rather than a rental session. The pace and exact route can change with the sea, so you should treat Playa San Juan as the usual direction, not a guaranteed destination.

Los Cristianos is sometimes used instead. The choice depends on conditions, which is a sensible approach for a motorized water activity. Calm water can make the ride more comfortable and easier to manage. Rougher conditions may limit where the boat can go or alter the plan for safety.

You do not need to bring your own protective equipment. Life jackets are supplied, and a wetsuit may be available if conditions call for one. Ask about this during check-in if you tend to get cold in the water.

The ride can be exciting without requiring technical skill, but it is still active. You will need to hold on, pay attention to the instructor, and handle the jet ski as instructed. If you are sharing the machine, confirm how the driving arrangement works at the start. The stated minimum age is 18 for a driver and 10 for a passenger.

The maximum group size is two participants. That is a useful detail for a couple or two friends who want the activity to feel more personal. It also means you should not expect a large convoy or a crowded group session. The limited capacity may help explain why people often reserve this experience well ahead of the day, with bookings commonly made about 28 days in advance.

Switching boats for parasailing

When the jet ski safari ends, you transfer to the parasailing boat. Staff strap you in and prepare you for the flight. The order is fixed, with the jet ski ride first and the parascending activity afterward.

The parasailing section gives you a quieter view of the coast than the jet ski ride. You are lifted behind the boat, with the water below and Tenerife stretching away around you. The contrast is the real appeal of the package: one part is hands-on and fast, while the other lets you sit back and take in the height.

The height may sound intimidating if you are uneasy around heights. You can still find the flight manageable, but this is not the right choice if the idea of being lifted above the sea makes you genuinely uncomfortable. Someone who enjoys heights will likely get more from this section than someone who spends the whole flight looking straight down.

The experience is supervised, and the necessary safety equipment is provided. You should follow the staff’s instructions closely when being strapped in and when returning to the boat. The practical setup keeps the activity simple, but it does not remove the need to meet the health requirements.

The parasailing boat also gives families a chance to share the setting, since the minimum passenger age is 10. The driver rule for the jet ski remains separate, so check the ages and roles of everyone in your party before booking.

Why the two activities work well together

A single water sport can feel brief. This package gives you two distinct activities, so the hour has more variety than a standard jet ski session. You start with direct control of the machine, then hand control to the boat crew for the flight.

I like this format for a pair who cannot agree on one activity. One person may prefer the speed and movement of the jet ski, while the other may prefer the floating sensation of parasailing. You both get to try each part rather than splitting up for separate bookings.

There is also a practical benefit. Both activities are planned for the same day, conditions permitting. You do not need to arrange two separate visits to Puerto Colón or build another day around a second water sport.

The short duration keeps the commitment manageable. You can fit the experience around other plans in Tenerife, especially if you choose the 13:00 or 15:00 departure. Still, do not schedule a tight appointment immediately afterward. The advertised duration is about one hour, and sea conditions or transfers may affect the exact finish time.

Price and what you receive for $204.26 per person

At $204.26 per person, this is not a bargain-priced beach activity. For two people, the listed per-person rate comes to $408.52 before any optional photo purchases or transport costs. You are paying for two supervised activities, boat transfers, safety equipment, and instruction in a small format.

The value improves if you planned to book both jet skiing and parasailing separately. You save the effort of arranging two operators and get both activities on the same day. The small maximum of two is also useful if you prefer a more private outing over a large group.

The value is weaker if you only want a long jet ski ride. The jet ski portion is about 40 minutes, and the full experience is built around the combination of riding and flying. You should book it because you want both parts, not because you expect a full afternoon on a jet ski.

Hotel pickup and drop-off may depend on the area and are not guaranteed as part of the package. Check this before paying, since getting to Puerto Colón may require your own taxi, car, or public transport arrangement. The meeting point is near public transportation.

All taxes, fees, and handling charges are included. A driver or guide is also included. Souvenir photos are extra, so decide ahead of time how much you want to spend on keepsakes.

Safety rules, health limits, and comfort

You cannot take part if you are pregnant. The activity is also not allowed for people with back problems, heart complaints, or other serious medical conditions. These restrictions matter for both the jet ski movement and the parasailing harness, so do not treat them as minor fine print.

Most people who meet the age and health rules can participate, but you still need to be comfortable following instructions and taking part in boat-based activities. The staff provide a briefing before the ride and life jackets before you set out.

Sea conditions are the main factor outside your control. The route may change from Playa San Juan to Los Cristianos, and both activities are subject to suitable conditions. Ask the operator on the day if the weather has changed and keep your schedule flexible.

The experience is offered in English. If you need instructions repeated or clarified, ask before the boat leaves. It is much better to understand the safety process clearly than to stay quiet and hope the instructions become obvious later.

Who will get the most from this package

This is a strong match for two adults who want a short burst of activity rather than a full-day excursion. It also suits a pair with mixed preferences, since the jet ski supplies action and the parasailing flight supplies a slower, high-up view.

It can work for a family group with a child aged 10 or older as a passenger, provided the adult driver meets the 18-year minimum. The maximum of two participants means a larger family may need to confirm how the booking works for everyone rather than assuming one slot covers the whole group.

I would choose this for an occasion when you want something memorable but do not want to spend all day at sea. It is also a sensible addition to a stay in Adeje, since the meeting point is in Puerto Colón and the activity returns there.

I would skip it if you dislike heights, have a relevant medical condition, or want complete certainty about the route and timing. The sea decides some of the details, and the package price is high enough that you should genuinely want both activities.

Timing tips for Puerto Colón

The 13:00 and 15:00 departures give you a simple choice. The earlier start leaves more of the day afterward, while the later one may suit a slower morning. Either way, plan to be at the meeting point 20 minutes early.

Wear clothing that can handle spray and bring a change of clothes if you have room. The activity supplies safety equipment, and a wetsuit may be available if required, but you should not assume every personal comfort item is included.

Keep your bag small. Free locked storage is available for a small backpack, which covers the basics but is not a reason to arrive with heavy luggage. Take only what you need for the outing.

For transport, remember that the activity begins and ends at Puerto Colón. Hotel pickup and drop-off can depend on your area, so confirm this before you finalize your plans.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. A cancellation made less than 24 hours ahead is not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability.

Should you book the jet ski and parasailing package?

Book it if you want two water sports, a small maximum group, and professional supervision in one short outing. The free storage, included safety gear, English instruction, and choice of morning or afternoon timing make the practical side easy.

The strongest reason to choose it is variety. You get a coastal jet ski ride toward Playa San Juan or, if conditions call for it, Los Cristianos, followed by parasailing above the sea. The main cautions are the high price, the age and health rules, and the fact that sea conditions can change the route or activity plan.

For a pair who wants a lively Tenerife memory and is happy to pay for a tightly arranged two-part experience, I would book it. If you only want jet skiing, choose a simpler jet ski outing and avoid paying for the flight.
