Southern Tenerife looks different from the water. On this shared jet ski safari, you and a companion leave Puerto Colón and skim along the coast for about an hour, passing volcanic cliffs, small coves, and beaches that are hard to appreciate from the road. The ride is guided, with a certified leader following in a Zodiac boat.

I like the practical setup: private changing rooms and secure lockers mean you can arrive ready for the sea without worrying about your belongings. I also like the choice to switch drivers, letting one person take the controls while the other enjoys the view from the passenger seat. The main drawback is the short running time. Once check-in and instruction are finished, the actual ride feels brisk.

Key points

  • One jet ski for two people: Share the machine, take turns driving, or let one person ride as passenger.
  • A one-hour coastal route: Expect views of volcanic cliffs, hidden coves, Diego Hernández Beach, and Las Vistas.
  • Guided from a Zodiac boat: A certified guide stays close throughout the ride for safety.
  • Useful facilities at Puerto Colón: Private changing rooms, secure lockers, and a full-service reception are provided.
  • English or Spanish instruction: The safety briefing and driving guidance are available in both languages.
  • Age and fitness rules matter: The outing is not suitable for children under 18 as drivers, while passengers are listed as 8 and older.

Leaving Puerto Colón on one shared jet ski

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - Leaving Puerto Colón on one shared jet ski

The meeting point is JetSkiPuertoColon.com at Local 128 in the Puerto Colón shopping center on Avenida de Colón, Costa Adeje. You return to this same spot at the end, which keeps the outing easy to fit into a day near the marina.

This is a two-person format, but you do not get two jet skis. You share one machine with your companion. That arrangement is a plus if you want to enjoy the activity together rather than split up into separate vehicles. It also keeps the price sensible for a pair, though you should read the booking price carefully because the advertised rate is listed as $108.84 per group of up to one. If two people are planning to ride, confirm the final booking terms before paying.

After check-in, you receive driving instructions and a safety briefing in English or Spanish. That matters more here than it might on a simple boat ride. You need to understand how the jet ski responds, how to handle turns, and how to follow the guide before leaving the marina area.

The company has a full-service reception, private changing rooms, and secure lockers. I value those details because water activities are awkward when you have to arrive in swimwear, carry a phone, or leave a wallet in an unguarded bag. The facilities do not add time on the water, but they make the start less rushed.

A past customer particularly praised the new jet skis, clean toilets, and fresh-smelling life jackets. Those are small details, but they tell you what to look for at check-in. Clean equipment and a well-kept changing area can make a noticeable difference before you get wet.

The safety briefing before the throttle opens

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - The safety briefing before the throttle opens

The briefing is the point where you should ask questions, not simply nod and follow the group. If you have never driven a jet ski, tell the instructor. If you are riding as the passenger, listen as well, since you will need to hold on and move with the driver.

The guide follows in a Zodiac boat during the ride. This is a helpful safety feature because you are not left to find your own route along the coast. It also gives the group a clear point to follow. You can focus on steering and the scenery rather than trying to work out where to go next.

The ride requires a moderate level of physical fitness. You do not need to treat it like an athletic event, but sitting securely, holding on, and handling the movement of the craft takes some effort. The sea can make the ride more demanding than it first appears, especially if the water is choppy.

The age information needs careful attention. The experience is not suitable for children under 18, while the passenger requirement is listed as age 8 and older. That wording suggests an adult must operate the jet ski and a younger passenger may ride along, but you should confirm the exact age rules for your pair before booking.

Following the volcanic coast for one hour

Once you leave Puerto Colón, the main appeal is the changing shoreline. Tenerife is a volcanic island, and from the water you see coastal rock in a more direct way than you do from a beach or road. Dark cliffs, breaks in the shoreline, and small coves give the route variety even though the ride lasts only about an hour.

The itinerary is not built around long stops on land. This is a moving coastal tour, so you should expect to ride past the sights rather than step ashore at each one. If you want a slow beach day, this is the wrong choice. If you want a short burst of speed with views along the southern coast, the format works well.

You may pass Diego Hernández Beach, one of the named coastal highlights on the route. Seeing it from the water gives you a different angle from a normal beach visit. The beach becomes part of a wider coastal scene, framed by cliffs and open sea rather than approached as a destination for several hours.

Las Vistas is also included among the beaches you may see. The coastline around southern Tenerife shifts between developed resort areas and quieter stretches, so the water route lets you compare both sides of the coast in a short period. You get a sense of how much shoreline lies beyond the marina and hotel zones.

The guide’s Zodiac boat helps keep the outing organized. Follow its direction and avoid treating the ride as a free-for-all. You are there for speed and fun, but the best version of this activity balances the excitement with attention to the boat, the group, and the coastal route.

Taking turns at the controls

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - Taking turns at the controls

The strongest feature of this tour is its shared format. One person can drive while the other sits behind, then you can switch if conditions and the guide allow it. That makes the outing more social than booking separate machines, and it gives both people a chance to try the main activity.

You should agree before departure about who wants to drive first. If one person is much more eager to operate the jet ski, setting expectations early avoids wasting part of the hour. The passenger still has a worthwhile role, with a front-row view of the cliffs, beaches, and open water.

A passenger should hold securely and follow the driver’s movements rather than leaning the opposite way. The ride may feel lively, particularly when the craft changes direction or moves over uneven water. If you are prone to motion sickness, the passenger seat may be less comfortable than driving, although the supplied information does not promise calm conditions.

The one-hour duration is both a strength and a limitation. It is long enough to give you a real taste of jet skiing and see several sections of the southern coast. It is short enough to fit before lunch, after a beach visit, or alongside other Costa Adeje plans.

Still, allow time for arrival, changing, instructions, and returning equipment. The advertised hour refers to the activity itself, not necessarily the entire time spent at the Puerto Colón office. I would not schedule another important booking immediately afterward.

What the price means for two people

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - What the price means for two people

The listed price is $108.84 per group of up to one, which makes the cost difficult to judge without checking how the booking system applies it to a pair sharing one jet ski. The product is described as designed for two, but the price wording does not clearly explain whether two riders are covered under one booking or if the system treats the driver as the booked participant.

That is the one financial detail I would settle before confirming. Ask what the total price is for one jet ski with one adult driver and one passenger. Once that is clear, the value depends on how much you want the shared format and the facilities at the marina.

You are paying for more than a machine rental. The package includes the guided route, a safety briefing, a following Zodiac boat, access to changing rooms, and lockers. Newer equipment and clean facilities also matter, especially if you are comparing this with a basic rental that leaves you to arrange everything yourself.

The value is best for two people who want a compact activity and plan to share the controls. It is less attractive if only one person wants to ride, if you want a long excursion, or if you mainly want quiet coastal sightseeing. The one-hour format gives you a focused activity rather than a full half-day outing.

Optional photo and video packages are available. These can be useful if you want a record of the ride, but they are not essential to the experience. Ask about the added price before agreeing, particularly if you are keeping the day’s costs under control.

Facilities that make the short outing easier

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - Facilities that make the short outing easier

Puerto Colón is a practical departure point because the activity begins and ends at the same office. You do not need to arrange a separate return transfer or work out where the guide will leave you. That simple loop suits a day based around Costa Adeje.

The private changing rooms are especially useful if you are fitting the ride between other plans. You can change before and after without relying on a public beach facility. The secure lockers also let you store personal items while on the water, though you should still bring only what you need.

The clean toilets and fresh-smelling life jackets praised in the available feedback are worth noting. A life jacket is not glamorous, but it is the piece of equipment you will wear for the whole outing. Clean gear and a tidy reception area help set the right tone for a water activity.

The mobile ticket makes arrival easier. Keep it available on your phone, and allow enough time to find Local 128 at Puerto Colón. The location is given as Avenida de Colón, C.C. Puerto Colón, Local 128, 38660 Puerto Colón, Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Weather, cancellation, and what to bring

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - Weather, cancellation, and what to bring

The activity depends on good weather. If poor conditions cause a cancellation, you are offered a different date or a full refund. That is reassuring, but it also means you should keep some flexibility in your schedule, especially if this is one of the main activities of your Tenerife holiday.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours in advance are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off follows local time. I would avoid booking this as the final nonrefundable piece of a tightly packed itinerary.

The information provided does not specify a detailed packing list, so keep your preparation simple. Wear clothing suitable for getting wet, and bring only the essentials. Your phone should be protected before the ride unless you plan to purchase the optional photo or video package.

Do not assume the sea will feel gentle because the outing lasts only an hour. You should be ready for spray, movement, and a moderate physical demand. If you have concerns about balance, strength, or motion sickness, discuss them at check-in.

Who will enjoy this Costa Adeje ride most

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - Who will enjoy this Costa Adeje ride most

I would recommend this for an adult pair that wants a shared thrill rather than a quiet cruise. It works particularly well for friends, couples, or family members who are comfortable taking turns and following a guide.

It is also a good choice if you have limited time in Tenerife. The activity begins and ends in Puerto Colón, lasts about an hour on the water, and adds a fast coastal outing without taking over the entire day.

You should think twice if you want guaranteed solitude, a long route, or a relaxed look at the coast. The guide and Zodiac boat make the ride structured, and the short duration means you will spend most of the time moving rather than stopping for a long look at each beach.

The activity is not a fit for children under the stated age limits. The information says it is not suitable for children under 18 and lists passengers as 8 and older, so confirm the rule for your exact arrangement. At least one person should be ready for the physical demands of a jet ski ride.

Should you book the Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari?

Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari - Should you book the Tenerife Double Jet Ski Safari?

Book it if you want a short, guided water adventure for two and value the ability to share one jet ski. The route offers a lively view of southern Tenerife, while the Zodiac guide, lockers, changing rooms, and clear instruction make the outing easier to manage.

Before booking, confirm the final price for two people and the exact driver and passenger age rules. If the cost fits your plans, this is a practical way to add volcanic cliffs, beaches, and open-water speed to a Costa Adeje holiday. Skip it if you prefer a slow boat trip, need a longer excursion, or would rather spend the day on the beach.
