Tenerife Water Sports Package with 40 Min. Jet Ski and Parascending for 2 People
Book on Viator →Operated by Maritim Sports of Tenerife · Bookable on Viator
Two thrills in one Tenerife outing. This package mixes a 40-minute jet ski safari with parascending, run from the Puerto Colón area in Adeje—so you get action, then a totally different view from the sky.
I like how structured it feels. You meet at Water Sports Tenerife, get a safety briefing with life jackets, and you’re guided by pros the whole way. That matters when you’re combining two high-adrenaline activities.
One thing to plan around: conditions can change the jet ski route. You’ll often head toward Playa San Juan, but it can shift to Los Cristianos depending on the sea, and both activities run “conditions permitting,” so timing can be weather-sensitive.

Key things to know before you go

- Two activities, one booking: 40 minutes on the jet ski, then parascending on the same day if conditions allow.
- Safety-first setup: life jackets and safety equipment are provided, and professional instructors supervise.
- Small group feel: the max is 2 travelers, which usually means less waiting and more attention.
- Route can change: the jet ski may go to Playa San Juan or sometimes Los Cristianos based on sea conditions.
- Storage is available: there’s free locked storage for small items like a backpack and a wetsuit if required.
Where You Meet at Puerto Colón (and Why the 20-Minute Rule Matters)

Your day starts at Water Sports Tenerife, Calle Colón 6, Escuela Náutica Puerto Colón, 38660 Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The location is close to public transportation, which is handy if you’re building your own schedule around the excursion.
Here’s the detail that makes the whole thing smoother: you’re expected to arrive 20 minutes before your start time. Whether you’re booked for a 13:00 or a 15:00 slot, the crew uses that buffer for a safety briefing and to get life jackets sorted before you go to the boats.
I like this approach. It prevents the usual chaos of people running late and makes it easier to focus when it’s time to learn the jet ski basics. It also means you can avoid that last-minute panic of wondering where the right gear goes.
If you have small personal items, you’ll be happy to know there’s free locked storage for a small backpack and a wetsuit if required. That’s the kind of practical touch that keeps you from carrying bags around in a hurry.

Jet Ski Safari: 40 Minutes, and a Coastline That Depends on Sea Conditions

The jet ski portion is the main event: 40 minutes of riding time. On a normal day, the route runs toward Playa San Juan. On other days—depending on the sea state—you may ride toward Los Cristianos instead.
That route flexibility is worth paying attention to. It’s not just an itinerary tweak. In open-water activities, “conditions permitting” is real. If the sea is rougher in one direction, the operator may adjust the plan for safety and ride quality.
The process also makes sense. After you meet on land and do the safety briefing, you board a boat that takes you out to your instructor. The instructor gives you the necessary instructions for operating the jet ski, then you set off for your safari-style run along the coast.
Even with one ride, the structure matters. You’re not left to guess what to do. You get taught how to operate before you’re actually moving at speed, and you have supervision around the experience.
One more practical point: this is a driver/passenger setup with clear age rules. You must be at least 18 as the driver, while passengers can be 10 or older. If you’re traveling as a couple, this means it can work well for teens or for adults who just want to ride passenger-style—depending on ages in your group.
Parascending Right After: Expect a Quick Transfer and a Big Change in Perspective

Once the jet ski finishes, you’ll transfer to the parascending boat. The flow is simple: ride first, then strap in and get ready to fly.
The timing here is important. The whole package is listed as about 1 hour, which means there’s limited downtime between the two activities. So you’ll want to be mentally ready to switch gears fast—from hands-on jet ski operation to sitting/strapping in for lift-off.
The good news is that the crew keeps the setup organized. You’re not just handed equipment. You’re guided through what to do before you fly, which helps reduce that awkward “what now?” feeling.
If you’re a little nervous about heights, this is the kind of activity where you might judge it differently once you’re actually strapped in. One of the most helpful takeaways from the experience notes is that parascending worked out well even for someone who isn’t comfortable with heights. That doesn’t guarantee anything for your situation, but it’s a reassuring sign that the experience can be manageable with proper instruction and calm handling.
Safety Gear, Medical Limits, and the Rules You Should Not Ignore

This package is built around safety equipment and professional supervision. All safety gear is provided, and instructors guide you through both the jet ski and parascending parts.
Still, the rules are strict for a reason. The activity is not allowed for:
- people with back problems
- people with heart complaints
- people with other serious medical conditions
- pregnant women
Also, the minimum age rules are clear:
- 18+ minimum to drive a jet ski
- 10+ minimum to be a passenger
When I’m weighing an action tour like this, I think about the “force” of the day, not just the fun. Jet skiing brings motion and vibration. Parascending adds a different kind of physical sensation and the need to stay seated and strapped in. If you fall into any of the medical restrictions, don’t gamble. Pick something gentler instead.
Good to know: the tour max is 2 travelers, so you’re not squeezed into a huge crowd. In smaller groups, staff can spend more time making sure you’re set before you go.
Price and Value: What $204.26 Per Person Really Buys

At $204.26 per person, this doesn’t look like a cheap impulse purchase. But you are stacking two premium sea experiences in one outing: 40 minutes jet skiing plus parascending.
Here’s where the value becomes more practical:
- Taxes, fees, and handling charges are included.
- A driver/guide is included.
- You get safety equipment provided.
- The operator runs both activities from the same meeting point area, with a coordinated sequence.
What’s not included matters too:
- Hotel pickup and drop-off may not be included, depending on where you’re staying.
- Souvenir photos are available for purchase, but they’re not included.
I’d treat this as a “buy convenience and guidance” kind of price. If you were to book jet ski and parascending separately, you’d likely spend more time coordinating schedules and meeting points. This package reduces that headache by putting the two activities under one roof, on the same day.
Also, the small-group size (max 2 travelers) is not a minor detail. Less crowding usually means less waiting and more attention—exactly what you want when you’re learning something new and then launching into the next adrenaline step.

Timing, Weather, and What “Conditions Permitting” Means for Your Day

The tour summary notes that both activities take place on the same day conditions permitting. That’s the key phrase here.
It connects directly to what happens on the jet ski side:
- you may ride toward Playa San Juan
- or you may ride toward Los Cristianos
- the decision can come down to sea conditions
Parascending also depends on conditions in a similar way. Even if you’re on the water for your jet ski portion, the second activity can be affected by wind and sea state.
If your schedule is tight, plan for the possibility that the day’s pace may feel a bit compressed. Because the overall duration is listed as about 1 hour, this is not the type of tour where you linger for long breaks or expect a long, slow rhythm.
Practical Tips Before You Show Up (So the Day Feels Easy)

You won’t find complicated instructions here, but a few reminders from how this is run can save you stress.
- Arrive early for the safety briefing and life jacket fitting. The check-in timing is built into the flow.
- Be ready to move quickly between boats. Jet ski first, then parascending.
- If you bring a small bag, look for the free locked storage option mentioned in the experience details.
- Bring an extra layer of patience if sea conditions shift the route. Playa San Juan versus Los Cristianos isn’t a deal-breaker—it’s part of how the coast riding adjusts.
And if you’re trying to decide who should drive: if there’s a choice in your party, remember the driver requirement is 18+. Passenger age can be 10+, which gives flexibility for couples traveling with younger family members.
Should You Book This Jet Ski and Parascending Package?

Book it if you want a real combo day: hands-on jet ski time followed by the sky view of parascending, with professional supervision and safety gear provided. The small group size and the structured safety briefing are big pluses, especially if you’d rather get attention than wait in a line.
Skip it if:
- anyone in your group falls under the medical restrictions (back problems, heart complaints, or other serious conditions)
- you’re pregnant
- you’re looking for a long, laid-back excursion. The whole experience is about 1 hour, so it’s energetic and tightly scheduled.
One last gut-check: if you’re nervous about heights, it may still work out for you since the parascending portion is guided and managed carefully. Just be honest with yourself before you book.
