Location and Setting
The tour kicks off right from Puerto Colon, a popular hub in Tenerife’s south, known for its lively atmosphere and excellent water sports options. From here, the guides take you along the Las Americas coast, an area renowned for its dramatic cliffs, colorful beaches, and vibrant marine life. The scenery alone makes the hour-long ride worth every penny, but it’s the sense of speed and the panoramic views that truly elevate this experience.
As you speed along the coast, you’ll pass by rugged cliffs and sprawling ocean views. The crystal-clear waters of Tenerife are perfect for jet skiing, offering good visibility beneath the waves, which is great if you’re into spotting marine life or just appreciating the clarity of the water. You’ll probably find yourself thinking how lucky you are for the chance to glide over such scenic beauty at a pretty fast clip.
The Route and Stops
While this is primarily a thrilling ride, not a sightseeing tour with multiple stops, you can expect the guide to ensure you see some of the most dramatic parts of the coast. The focus is on safety, fun, and feeling the wind in your hair, but the views of the coastline’s rugged cliffs and open ocean are the natural highlights of the ride.
Equipment and Safety
The jet skis provided are of top quality, combining powerful performance with stability, which reassures even nervous first-timers. The safety briefing is thorough, covering how to handle the jet ski, safety signals, and what to do in case of an emergency. Life jackets are provided and are required to be worn at all times—a must for peace of mind.
From the reviews, we see that Marco, one of the guides, is praised not only for his professionalism but also for taking good photographs. If you want a souvenir of your ride, you might consider requesting photos, though this isn’t included in the standard package.

Reviews and Authentic Experiences
One reviewer mentions, “Marco is a good guy. He is also a good photographer,” which hints at the friendly, professional atmosphere. However, another noted, “The time indicated is not an exact time. They also include the journey to the jet ski and the journey back to the shore,” suggesting that the total experience might be slightly longer than just the riding time.
This slight discrepancy is worth bearing in mind when planning your day; the actual riding experience is a solid hour, but the transfer and prep might add a bit more to your schedule.
