Jet Ski Mogán or TauritoGran Canaria 1-Hour Safari

Jet ski safari from Mogán or Taurito

One hour, one guided safari, and two beaches it leaves from: Playa de Mogán and Playa de Taurito, both on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria. You pick the one that suits where you are staying and the ride is the same either way. You drive your own machine with a licensed guide leading the group, no licence needed, and it opens with a safety briefing on the beach.

The route

The route heads out below the mountains of Mogán and follows the coast towards Tasartico and Playa de Tasarte when the sea allows it. It is a full coastal safari for the hour. On good days you can see sea caves, volcanic cliffs, turtles and flying fish. Dolphins are sometimes seen in this area too, although wildlife is never guaranteed.

Mogán or Taurito

You choose the departure point when booking. Playa de Mogán works well if you are staying around Puerto de Mogán or the south-west marinas. Taurito is the easier option for hotels in Taurito, Playa del Cura and nearby resorts.

Who can drive

You ride alone from 18. At 16 or 17 an adult has to be on the jet ski with you, plus written authorisation from a parent or guardian and that person's ID. The jet ski can be ridden solo or shared with one passenger, subject to the operator's safety limits on the day.

What is included

The price covers the jet ski for one hour, a licensed guide, insurance, life jacket, safety briefing and free lockers for your belongings. Photos and videos can usually be bought after the activity if you want them.
