Waters Sport Package with 40 min. Jet Ski and Parasailing 1 person

The best part of this Tenerife outing is the change of viewpoint. You spend time close to the water on a 40-minute jet ski safari, then rise above the sea by parasail for a broad view of the coast. It gives you two very different thrills in one booking.

I like the clear instruction for beginners and the small maximum group of four. I also like that the route can change with sea conditions, usually heading toward Playa San Juan and sometimes toward Los Cristianos. The main catch is time: although the activity is listed at about an hour, the boat transfers, waiting, and second activity can keep you at sea for two hours or more.

Key points to know before you book

• Two water sports in one outing: Jet skiing comes first, followed by parasailing from a separate boat.
• A route shaped by the sea: The normal jet ski direction is Playa San Juan, with Los Cristianos possible when conditions allow.
• Beginner-friendly instruction: An instructor explains how to operate the jet ski, and no previous experience is required.
• A small group size: The maximum is four participants, which should make the briefing and activity feel more personal.
• Allow extra time: The listed duration is about one hour, but boat transfers and scheduling may make the outing last two hours or more.
• Photos cost extra: Souvenir photos can be purchased, but they are not included in the $144.03 price.

Two Tenerife thrills from Puerto Colón

This package works because the activities complement each other. The jet ski gives you speed, steering, and a sense of control. Parasailing slows the pace and lets you look outward at Tenerife’s coastline from above.

You meet at Water Sports Tenerife, at Calle Colón 6 inside the Escuela Náutica at Puerto Colón in Adeje. The meeting point is near public transportation, and the activity ends back there. Plan to arrive 20 minutes before your selected start time, either 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m., so the staff can issue a life jacket and explain the safety rules.

That early arrival matters. You do not want to turn up at the last minute, still looking for the marina, while the group is being organized. Bring enough time to find the office, get changed if needed, and listen to the instructions without rushing.

The advertised package is for one person and costs $144.03. That is not a bargain-priced beach rental, but it combines two organized activities, a driver or guide, equipment, taxes, and the boat movements between them. If you already planned to book both a jet ski ride and parasailing separately, the package can make financial sense. If you want only a quick jet ski ride, it is more than you need.

Getting ready at Puerto Colón

The session begins with a safety briefing and life jacket fitting. Previous experience is not required, so you do not need a boating license or special water-sports skills based on the information provided.

From the starting point, a boat takes you out to the jet ski instructor. This detail is worth noting because the jet ski does not simply begin beside the marina. You first make a short transfer by boat, then receive instructions on operating the machine.

The instruction appears practical rather than lengthy. You will be shown how to start, steer, and stop the jet ski, along with the basic safety points. A safety cord is attached to the rider, and the instructor remains involved while giving you room to handle the craft yourself.

That setup suits a first-timer. You can learn the controls without needing to master complicated techniques. At the same time, do not expect a quiet, private lesson with unlimited individual coaching. The group is small, but the activity still follows the instructor’s pace.

Changing rooms and lockers are available at the harbor according to the supplied information. That is useful if you are spending the day at the marina or arriving in ordinary sightseeing clothes. Still, keep valuables to a minimum. Water sports are not the place for loose phones, wallets, or jewelry.

Riding toward Playa San Juan

The usual jet ski route heads toward Playa San Juan. On some days, the group may go toward Los Cristianos instead, depending on the sea conditions. This is a sensible arrangement rather than a weakness. A water-sports operator should put the sea first, even if it means your route changes.

The 40-minute ride gives you enough time to get comfortable with the controls. At first, you may concentrate on steering and keeping a steady speed. After a few minutes, you can pay more attention to the open water and the coast around you.

The instructor sets the general direction and keeps the group together. You should follow instructions and maintain the required pace. One useful point from the available experience is that anyone who falls behind may be left behind, so this is not a free-for-all ride where you can wander off alone.

That does not mean you need to be an expert. It means you should be ready to stay with the group and respond to the guide. If you are nervous, tell the instructor early. Riders have been given room to control the jet ski at their own speed, but the outing still has a shared schedule.

Some participants have found 40 minutes enough, especially on a first ride. Others have preferred a longer two-hour safari because the time passes quickly once they get comfortable. For this particular package, the shorter ride is paired with parasailing, so the appeal is variety rather than an extended motorized excursion.

Do not expect snorkeling on this package. A separate, longer jet ski outing has included a stop for snorkeling, but that is not part of the stated 40-minute program. Keep your expectations tied to the package you are booking: jet ski riding followed by parasailing.

The switch from jet ski to parasailing

After the jet ski safari, you are transferred to the parasailing boat. The activities are arranged back to back, so you do not need to return to the marina and start over with a new operator.

You are strapped into the parasailing harness on the boat, then lifted above the water. The exact flight time is not stated, so I would not book this expecting a guaranteed number of minutes in the air. The important point is that parasailing follows the jet ski portion as part of the same outing.

The change in pace is welcome. Jet skiing asks you to steer and react. Parasailing lets you sit back while the boat controls the flight path. From above, you can look along the Tenerife coastline and out across the water, with the marina and nearby shore appearing much smaller below.

If you feel nervous about heights, say so before takeoff. The staff can explain how the harness and launch work, and the reviews supplied describe instructors helping worried participants feel at ease. You are secured to the parasail system, but the experience still involves being lifted high over open water, so it will not suit everyone.

Parasailing is usually the calmer half of the package. You do not need to steer or balance. Once you are in the air, the main job is to enjoy the view and follow the crew’s directions when it is time to return to the boat.

How long does this really take?

The stated duration is approximately one hour. Treat that as a rough activity estimate, not a promise that you will be back at the meeting point exactly 60 minutes after the start.

You must arrive 20 minutes early. Then there is the briefing, life jacket fitting, boat transfer to the jet ski, the 40-minute ride, movement to the parasailing boat, the flight, and the return transfer. Depending on how the boats are organized and how many people are taking part, you may be out at sea for two hours or more.

This is especially important if you have dinner reservations, an airport transfer, or another timed excursion. I would keep the rest of the afternoon open. The activity may run smoothly, but boat-based outings are not as exact as a museum entry slot.

The advertised maximum is four participants. That is a helpful limit, though parasailing can involve other couples or groups on the same boat during the wider operating schedule. The smaller jet ski group should make it easier to hear the instructor and avoid feeling lost in a crowd.

Safety, comfort, and who should skip it

The operator provides life jackets and a safety briefing. An instructor is included, and the package is designed for people without previous jet ski experience.

You should not book this activity if you have back problems, heart complaints, or another serious medical condition. It is also not suitable during pregnancy. The minimum age is 16.

Sea sickness deserves honest attention. You spend time on boats before, between, and after the activities. If you are prone to motion sickness, the time spent waiting at sea may be harder than either the jet ski ride or parasailing itself.

The water can also make photography awkward. GoPro use is restricted unless the camera is attached to your body. That rule is understandable around moving jet skis and boat machinery, but it limits casual filming. Follow the operator’s instructions rather than trying to carry loose equipment.

Wear practical swimwear and expect to get wet. The provided information does not specify a towel policy, so bring one if you need it. Since the activity returns to the marina, you can plan to change afterward if the facilities are available as described.

Photos and the real cost of the package

Photos are not included in the $144.03 price. They can be bought separately, and the supplied information indicates a cost of about 30 euros in one case, though prices can change.

The operator photographs the parasailing portion, and photos are emailed afterward. Some participants have received images within about 24 hours. There has also been an issue with missing photo delivery, including a complaint that the email address appeared fraudulent, so keep your receipt and confirm the correct email address before leaving.

Photo coverage may not be equal for both activities. One experience received parasailing pictures but no usable jet ski shots. If photos matter to you, ask at the start exactly what will be photographed, how much the package costs, and when the files will arrive.

That extra fee does not ruin the outing, but it changes the value calculation. At $144.03, you are paying for two activities and organized boat support. Add photos only if you really want a record of the flight and ride.

Who will enjoy this package most?

I would choose this for a first-time visitor to Tenerife who wants a short taste of two popular water sports without committing to a full day. It suits couples and friends who enjoy different types of activity, since one person may prefer the active jet ski section while another may be more excited about parasailing.

It is also a good fit if you like structured outings. The guide controls the route and timing, equipment is supplied, and the small group limit keeps the session manageable.

I would think twice if your main goal is a long jet ski safari. A 40-minute ride can feel brief once you have learned the controls. A longer jet ski package may offer more coastline and possibly a snorkeling stop, but it would be a different product and a different price.

I would also skip it if you dislike open-water boat time, feel unwell at sea, or need a tightly fixed schedule. The package is fun because it moves between boats and activities, but that same setup makes the timing less predictable.

Booking details and cancellation

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability. The experience is offered in English and includes a mobile ticket, so you can keep the booking on your phone.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not refunded or accepted.

The activity begins and ends at Water Sports Tenerife, Calle Colón 6, Escuela Náutica Puerto Colón, 38660 Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is close to public transportation, but the supplied information does not include hotel pickup for this exact package, so arrange your own way to the marina.

Should you book the Waters Sport Package?

Book it if you want two distinct water experiences in one organized outing and you are happy to give most of an afternoon to the marina and boats. The instructor support, four-person maximum, and combination of jet skiing with parasailing make it a sensible introduction to Tenerife’s water sports.

Skip it if you want a long, independent jet ski adventure, dislike sea conditions, or need a precise one-hour schedule. Also budget for optional photos and allow two hours or more, despite the approximate one-hour listing.

With a 4.7 rating and 95 percent recommendation rate from 20 ratings, the package has a strong record. Its value depends on your priorities: variety and convenience make the $144.03 price reasonable, while dedicated jet ski fans may get more from a longer safari.
