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

Two thrills, one compact afternoon on Tenerife’s coast. This package pairs a 40-minute jet ski safari with parasailing, giving you both speed at sea and broad views from above. I like the freedom you get once the instructor has shown you the controls, and I like that no previous experience is required.

The package costs $144.03 per person and is limited to four people, which should make the instruction and transfers fairly manageable. The main caution is timing: although the activity is advertised at about one hour, boat transfers and the change between activities can keep you out at sea longer, so do not squeeze it into a tight schedule.

Key points to know before booking

• The jet ski route usually heads toward Playa San Juan, with Los Cristianos possible when sea conditions allow.
• Parasailing follows the jet ski ride, so you get two different views of Tenerife in one booking.
• You must arrive 20 minutes early for the safety briefing and life jacket fitting.
• The package is for ages 16 and over, with no previous jet ski experience needed.
• The group maximum is four people, though the parasailing boat may carry people from different bookings.
• Photos cost extra, and they are normally sent by email after the activity.

Two Tenerife water sports in one booking

This is a good choice if you want action without giving up half a day to a single activity. The jet ski section gives you control, speed, and a chance to move along the coast. Parasailing then changes the mood completely. You sit back, rise above the water, and look down at the coast from a much calmer position.

The package is sold for one person, and the listed price is $144.03. That is not a budget beach activity, but you are paying for two powered water sports, instructors, safety equipment, boat support, and the use of the marina facilities. If you were planning to book both activities separately, the combined price may make sense.

I would not book this only because you want a long jet ski ride. The advertised jet ski time is 40 minutes, and that passes quickly once you include the briefing, boat ride, getting on and off the machine, and movement between activity areas. The value comes from the pairing of the two activities, not from a lengthy safari.

Meeting at Puerto Colón in Adeje

You meet at Water Sports Tenerife, Calle Colón 6, at the Escuela Náutica Puerto Colón in Adeje. The experience ends at the same point, which keeps the logistics simple if you are staying near Costa Adeje or using public transport in the area.

The meeting time matters. If your session starts at 1:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m., you need to arrive 20 minutes before the start. That early arrival is used for the safety briefing and life jacket fitting, so it is part of the activity’s proper start, not spare time.

The marina setting also explains why the experience is not simply a matter of walking onto a jet ski from the beach. From the starting point, you take a boat out to the instructor and the jet skis. After the ride, you transfer to the parasailing boat. Those transfers are useful, but they add time.

The facilities include lockers and a changing room, according to the practical information available from the experience. I would still arrive wearing a swimsuit or quick-drying clothing, since you will be around boats and spray before and after the rides.

The 20-minute safety briefing and boat transfer

The briefing covers the basic operation of the jet ski and the safety rules. An instructor is provided, and previous experience is not required. The equipment includes a life jacket, and a safety cord is attached to the rider during the jet ski activity.

You should expect the instruction to be brief and practical. You are shown how to start, stop, steer, and control your speed, then you get on with the ride. That suits people who want to try something new without taking a formal lesson, although anyone hoping for a long technical explanation may find the introduction short.

The boat transfer takes you from the marina to the instructor and the jet skis. This is one reason I would not plan another fixed activity immediately afterward. Even with a smooth departure, loading, instruction, riding, changing boats, and parasailing can take more than the headline one-hour estimate.

What the 40-minute jet ski safari is like

On a normal day, the jet ski route heads toward Playa San Juan. When sea conditions permit, the route may instead go toward Los Cristianos. That variation is important because the exact route is not guaranteed, and the operator makes the final call based on the water.

The ride is guided, but you get room to handle the jet ski yourself. The instructor leads the group and gives you space to choose a comfortable pace. Some people will want to move quickly across open water, while others will prefer to take it slowly until the controls feel natural.

The machines do not have saddles, according to the practical feedback provided. That means you should expect to ride standing or in a riding position that may feel less supported than a normal seat. If you have back trouble, this is especially important, since the activity is not suitable for people with back problems.

The 40-minute format works well for a first attempt. You have enough time to learn the controls, settle your nerves, and enjoy the motion without committing to a long outing. If you already ride jet skis often, you may find the time short. Longer jet ski packages are available from the same operator, but they are different products and should not be confused with this one.

One useful point for nervous beginners is the level of direct help available on the water. If someone falls off, the instructor can assist with getting back on. That does not remove the need to follow instructions, but it gives first-time riders a sensible safety net.

From jet skis to parasailing

The parasailing activity starts after the jet ski safari. You are transferred to the parasailing boat, fitted into the harness, and prepared for the flight. The change from an active ride to a quiet aerial view makes the package feel more varied than two similar speed activities.

Parasailing gives you a wide view of the Tenerife coast and the open water around Puerto Colón. The height is the main attraction. You are no longer looking across the sea from water level. Instead, you see the coastline from above while the boat moves below.

The available information does not promise a specific flight duration, so I would not book expecting a fixed number of minutes in the air. The order is clear, however: jet ski first, parasailing second. If you are anxious about heights, tell the staff before takeoff. The harness and boat crew are there to guide you through the process, but you should be comfortable with the basic nature of the activity.

The parasailing boat may combine people from different bookings. That helps the operator run the sessions efficiently, but it means the experience may not feel private. If you want the boat entirely to yourself, this package is not designed for that.

How much time should you allow?

The official duration is approximately one hour. In real use, I would allow at least two hours around the booking, especially if you need time to change, store belongings, wait for a boat transfer, or receive your photos afterward.

The activity can take longer because you are not simply doing the jet ski and parasailing from one fixed platform. The boat takes you out to the instructor, the jet ski section ends, and you then move to another boat for parasailing. Other groups may also be collected from different points or combined on the parasailing boat.

This does not mean the schedule is poorly organized. In fact, the transfers are designed to keep the two activities connected. It simply means you should treat the one-hour figure as an approximate activity duration, not a promise that you will be back at the marina exactly 60 minutes after arrival.

If you have dinner reservations, a bus connection, or another excursion, leave plenty of space. Sea conditions and boat movement are not as predictable as a museum entrance time.

Safety, age, and physical limits

The minimum age is 16. Participants must also be free from the medical conditions listed by the operator. The activity is not suitable for pregnant women or people with back problems, heart complaints, or other serious medical conditions.

You should take those rules seriously. A jet ski can put force through your back and legs, while parasailing involves a harness and a lift above the water. Ask the operator before booking if your health situation does not fit neatly into the published guidance.

Most people can participate, and the experience includes a guide and safety equipment. Still, you need to follow the instructor’s pace and directions. The jet ski section is not an unsupervised free-for-all, even though you get space to control the machine yourself.

Sea conditions can change the route. The trip may go toward Playa San Juan or, on suitable days, toward Los Cristianos. A route change is not a failure of the experience. It is the operator adapting the ride to the conditions on the water.

The real value of $144.03

At $144.03, this is a premium half-day-style activity rather than a quick, inexpensive beach rental. The price includes taxes, fees, handling charges, the driver or guide, the jet ski safari, parasailing, the boat transfers, and safety equipment.

The strongest value comes from variety. You get a hands-on ride and an aerial activity in the same visit, and you do not need to arrange two separate bookings. The small maximum group of four is another plus, at least for the jet ski portion, because a smaller group usually makes it easier to receive attention from the instructor.

The weaker part of the value is the limited jet ski time. Forty minutes is enough for a first-timer, but experienced riders may want a longer route. You also pay extra for souvenir photos, so include that in your budget if you want a record of both activities.

Photo delivery is normally by email, sometimes after the activity rather than immediately. One practical warning is worth noting: check that the correct email address is recorded and confirm how the images will be delivered before you pay. There have been occasional complaints about missing photos, while other customers received them within about 24 hours.

What to bring and what to leave behind

Wear swimwear or quick-drying clothes and bring only what you need. The marina has lockers and a changing room, which helps, but loose belongings should not go out on the water with you.

GoPro use is restricted. You cannot simply carry a camera in your hand on the jet ski. It must be attached to your body, so check the operator’s current rules before bringing one.

You may want to bring:

• A towel
• Sun protection
• Dry clothing for afterward
• A secure phone or camera attachment if permitted
• An email address you can check for the photos

Do not assume you will be able to take your own pictures during every part of the experience. The operator offers souvenir photos for an additional charge, and the available information suggests these are mainly supplied by email.

Who will enjoy this package most?

I would recommend it to a first-time water sports participant who wants a taste of two activities without signing up for a full day. It also suits couples and small groups who like a little speed but still want a calm sightseeing moment above the coast.

It is a particularly good fit if you are staying around Adeje and want an activity that begins and ends at Puerto Colón. The small maximum group is helpful for people who prefer a more personal setting than a large excursion.

I would think twice if you are prone to seasickness. You spend time on boats between activities and may remain out at sea while the different sessions are completed. People who dislike boat motion, heights, or the physical strain of a jet ski may be happier with a land-based excursion.

The package is also less suitable for someone whose main goal is a long coastal safari. In that case, compare the 40-minute option with the operator’s longer jet ski trips. The longer outings may allow more distance and, on some packages, extra stops such as snorkeling, but they are not included here.

Booking, cancellation, and final practical advice

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability. You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made inside that window are not refunded or accepted.

Because the experience is often booked well ahead, planning early is sensible, especially if you need a particular afternoon. Still, do not treat early booking as a guarantee of the exact coastal route. Playa San Juan and Los Cristianos depend on sea conditions.

Bring your booking details, arrive 20 minutes early, and leave extra time after the published duration. Those three steps will prevent most avoidable problems.

Should you book the Waters Sport Package?

Book it if you want two different water sports in one outing, you are at least 16, and you are happy with an approximate one-hour activity that may take longer in practice. The jet ski ride offers enough freedom for beginners, while parasailing supplies the memorable coast-wide view.

Skip it if you need a tightly timed schedule, dislike boats, have the listed medical restrictions, or want a long jet ski adventure above all else. At $144.03, the package earns its price through variety and convenience, not through a long ride.

For a first taste of Tenerife’s water sports, I think it is a sensible choice. Just arrive early, allow more time than the headline suggests, and decide in advance if the extra-cost photos are worth adding.
