Review of Jet Ski Safari in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria
If you’re seeking a fun, adrenaline-pumping activity during your visit to Gran Canaria, the Jet Ski Safari in Puerto Rico might just hit the spot. Priced at around $160 for a group of up to two people, this hour-long adventure offers a chance to zip across the coastlines on powerful jet skis, guided by friendly local experts. With an average of bookings happening 12 days in advance, it’s clearly popular among travelers looking for a memorable, high-energy experience.
What sets this activity apart is its focus on the Puerto Rico coastline, combined with the thrill of high-speed movement across the water. The guides are known for their friendliness and flexibility—many reviews highlight the easygoing nature of the team, especially praising guides like Nico, who described the crew as “class,” “friendly,” and “relaxed.” A few aspects make this safari genuinely enjoyable: the scenic views of the coast, the fun of riding fast on the water, and the fact that it’s available all year round, rain or shine. Plus, since the tour involves arriving at a dedicated jet ski platform via boat or jet ski, you get to start your adventure with a bit of a ride itself.
Two things I particularly like about this experience are the personalized nature—small groups of up to 8 make it feel intimate—and the expert guidance, ensuring both safety and fun. You’ll appreciate that the activity includes a demonstration or a circuit laid out by a guide, which means even newcomers can feel comfortable. Another pleasant surprise is how reviews describe the guides—Nico’s quote of “mega fun, just KLASSE” sums up the general enthusiasm. Also, the fact that it’s an all-year activity makes it flexible for travelers arriving at different times of the year.
One potential consideration is weather. Since the activity is weather-dependent, poor conditions might lead to cancellations. The good news: Tours are fully refundable if canceled due to bad weather, and you’ll be offered new dates if needed. But for those prone to stormy days, booking with a flexible schedule might be wise. Plus, while the price might seem steep for a single hour, the value lies in the memorable experience and the scenic thrill of zipping along the coast, which is often highlighted by past participants as worth every penny.

In-Depth Review
What You Can Expect From the Tour
Your adventure begins at the meeting point on C. Puerto Escala in Mogán, where you’ll meet your guide and fellow thrill-seekers. After a quick safety briefing, you’ll be transported via jet ski or boat to the jet ski platform—a scenic ride that already amps up the excitement. From there, your hour-long jet ski safari kicks off, either as a guided circuit or an explorative ride along the coast.
The Puerto Rico coastline here isn’t just a backdrop; it’s part of the thrill, with rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and azure waters providing a stunning setting for your high-speed adventure. Most guides, like Nico, are praised for their engaging attitude, making newbies feel comfortable and helping experienced riders hone their skills. You’ll likely spend time zipping past rocky outcroppings, over gentle waves, and along the shoreline that showcases Gran Canaria’s natural beauty.
The Details: Itinerary and Experience
The activity lasts approximately one hour, but that hour is packed with fun and breathtaking scenery. The tour guide will either plot out a circuit or tailor the ride to your comfort and skill level. For beginners, guides are known for their patience and clear instructions—many reviews emphasize the fun factor and the “mega fun” atmosphere created by Nico and the crew. It’s a perfect activity to add an element of adventure to your holiday without overcommitting your schedule.
While the tour is designed to be accessible to most travelers, it’s important to be comfortable in water and to follow safety instructions. Equipment like life jackets is provided, and guides are attentive to safety standards. If you’re traveling as a couple or friends, the cost of $160.18 per group makes it quite reasonable considering the memorable experience and scenic views you’ll take home.
Who This Tour Is Best For
This activity suits those who love a bit of adrenaline, enjoy being on the water, and are looking for something active but not overly complex. Families with older children, couples, and solo travelers who want a quick dose of fun will find this particularly appealing. It also works well for first-timers because the guides ensure a safe, enjoyable ride.
However, if you’re not comfortable on a jet ski or in open water, this might not be the best choice. Also, if your schedule aligns with poor weather days, be prepared for potential cancellations, but rest assured that the full refund policy provides peace of mind.
Final Thoughts
The Jet Ski Safari in Puerto Rico offers a lively and authentic way to enjoy Gran Canaria’s coastal beauty. The combination of scenic views, friendly guides, and the thrill of high-speed riding makes it a worthwhile addition for adventure-loving travelers.
