Operated by Turbo jet ski Tenerife · Bookable on GetYourGuide

One jet ski. Two riders. One full hour. I like that you get a full 1-hour ride on Tenerife’s southern coast, not a token lap around the harbor, plus hotel pickup and drop-off to keep the day simple. One consideration: if the sea is choppy and you’re brand-new, you’ll feel it, so listen closely during the safety briefing.

I also love the way the guide team sets you up for success fast. In real-world rides, the owner/guide named Ziggy is known for being welcoming and helpful, and the instructors make a point of getting first-timers comfortable before the throttle starts working overtime.

Before you book, check your fit for the rules: this double service always puts two people on one jet ski, with a combined weight limit of 160 kg (352 lbs). If you’re over that, you’ll need to book single jet skis instead.

Key things I’d plan around

  • A full hour on the Atlantic: not just a quick trial run
  • Two people share one jet ski: you won’t be piloting solo on this option
  • Ziggy-level welcome: guides focus on making you feel ready (and safe)
  • Swim stop included: get that saltwater break in clear conditions
  • Gear and insurance come with you: life vests, drinks, and protective eyewear
  • Weight matters: two riders must total 160 kg or less

Los Cristianos pickup and the short transfer to launch

Your day starts in Los Cristianos, where the driver picks you up from your hotel area. Expect a short ride in a Jeep or SUV—about 20 minutes—then you’ll get ready for the water. The driver contacts you to clarify your location, which is a small thing but saves time when you’re juggling directions and beach chairs.

This transfer matters because it keeps the whole experience feeling like a plan, not a scavenger hunt. You’re not spending your Tenerife morning searching for a meeting point, and you’re already in motion before the adrenaline phase begins.

The safety briefing that actually helps you ride

Once you arrive, you meet your guide and get a safety briefing plus clear instructions on operating the jet ski. This is the part I’m glad exists, because a jet ski is simple once you learn the basics—but wrong inputs at the start can be stressful. The instructions are meant to get you confident quickly, whether you’re a first-timer or you’ve ridden before.

You’ll also get the essentials to ride comfortably and safely:

  • Life vests
  • Insurance
  • Protective sun/wind/water-proof glasses
  • A guided tour with an instructor monitoring the group

One underrated benefit: your belongings aren’t just tossed somewhere messy. You should have a safe place to store your things while you’re on the water, so you’re not spending the ride worrying about your phone, keys, or passport.

One jet ski for two people: how the double setup works

This is a double jet ski experience, meaning there are always two people on one jet ski in this specific service. If that’s your plan—partner ride, same craft, same route—it’s a great value format because you’re sharing the thrill and the logistics.

The key constraint is the weight limit: the total weight of two people on one jet ski can’t exceed 160 kg (352 lbs). If you’re close to that line, weigh your options carefully. It’s not just about comfort; it’s about the safety requirements of the equipment.

Also watch the individual guidelines: the activity is not suitable for people over 260 lbs (118 kg). It’s also not for children under 6, and non-swimmers are a no-go. If you’re traveling with someone who’s unsure about water, this is where you make the call early—because the ride includes a swim stop.

Your 1-hour Atlantic ride: speed, guidance, and coastal views

The main event is a full 1-hour jet ski ride across the Atlantic. You’ll feel wind in your face, hear that engine roar, and get the real “moving through water” sensation that a beach walk can’t fake.

Your guide leads the route as you explore the wild southern coastline of Tenerife. The setting here is part of the appeal: open water stretches out, and you’re moving fast enough that the coastline views come at you in a way that feels cinematic.

If you’re new, plan to start by staying relaxed and following the instructor’s rhythm. One review note stood out to me: some beginners may find rougher seas more challenging. That doesn’t mean you can’t go—it means you should bring your expectations into reality. If the water is calmer, first-timer rides tend to feel more forgiving; if it’s rough, go slower with your body and trust the training.

The swim stop in clear water (and what to do before it)

After cruising and taking in the coastline, you’ll stop to swim in the Atlantic Ocean. This is one of those simple inclusions that makes the trip feel like more than just speed—because it’s a reset for your body and a chance to cool off.

To make the swim portion easy:

  • Wear your swimwear ahead of time
  • Bring a towel (you’ll want it when you’re back)
  • Use sunscreen before you hit the water

Just remember: you are not building this around snorkeling gear or beach towels-on-hand convenience. You’re doing a quick swim break as part of the route, so come prepared.

Some rides also include standout scenery moments like mountain and cave views, and your guide may point out wildlife. From provided feedback, sea turtle sightings have happened on these outings, so keep your eyes open when the instructor tells you to look around.

Group size: why limiting it to about 8 people makes sense

This tour runs as a small group, limited to 8 participants. That’s a practical sweet spot for jet ski days. Smaller groups tend to move more smoothly, with less waiting and more attention from the guide.

I like this because jet skis are active, not sit-and-chat. When the group is tight, you get clearer direction, and the instructor can keep an eye on riders’ spacing and comfort.

The overall feel from the ride reports is that the staff is friendly and professional, with a focus on making you feel comfortable and safe before you take off. If you’ve ever tried an adrenaline activity and felt like you were on your own, this kind of guidance is exactly what you’re trying to avoid.

Drinks, photos, and the little things that affect your day

Jet ski days can be a “get in, get wet, get out” blur. Here, you’re not leaving completely empty-handed: drinks are included, and you’ll have protective eyewear for sun and spray.

Another detail worth noting: instructors can help with photos and even short video. That’s a huge value add, because trying to capture jet ski shots yourself usually ends the same way—blur, panic, or both. You’ll still want to follow the no-phone rule, but having the team help with keepsake content can make the day feel more memorable.

Price and value: what $70 per person really buys

At about $70 per person for a full hour of jet skiing plus hotel pickup/drop-off, this option can feel like a smart deal—especially compared to the cost of doing water activities that only give you a short time on the water.

What you’re getting for that price is more than the ride:

  • 1 full hour on the Atlantic
  • Guided instruction and a guided tour
  • Life vests, drinks, and protective eyewear
  • Insurance included
  • Pickup and drop-off from your location in Los Cristianos
  • Safe storage for belongings during the ride

Where value can change is based on who’s on your jet ski. If your group wants two separate jet skis, you’ll pay for that setup instead of using the double format. Also, if you’re near the weight limits, you might need to switch bookings for safety compliance.

So I’d treat this as a value win if:

  • You have a partner you’re comfortable riding with
  • You’re within the weight rules
  • You want maximum time on the water for your money

It’s a weaker fit if you need solo riding on each craft or you’re bringing someone who doesn’t meet the suitability requirements.

What to pack (and what not to bring)

Pack simple. You don’t want to show up with stuff you can’t use.

Bring:

  • Swimwear
  • Towel
  • Sunscreen
  • ID card (a copy is accepted)

Don’t bring:

  • Cellphones (not allowed)
  • Pets
  • Alcohol or drugs

That no-cellphone rule shapes the day. It’s worth planning your memories around included photo help, and keeping your essentials secure before you head out.

Who should book this double jet ski, and who shouldn’t

This double jet ski is a great choice for couples and pairs who want the thrill without turning the day into a complex logistics project. It also works well for first-timers when you’re comfortable following directions and you accept that water conditions can affect how intense it feels.

It is not suitable for:

  • Children under 6
  • Non-swimmers
  • People over 260 lbs (118 kg)

And it’s not the right booking if you exceed the combined 160 kg limit for two riders on one jet ski. In that case, you’ll need the single jet ski option instead of trying to bend the rules.

If you’re traveling with someone who gets nervous around water, you can still consider it, but I’d be honest with yourself about the swim stop and how you’ll handle open ocean riding. The instructors do their part to keep you safe—but your comfort matters too.

Final call: should you book Turbo jet ski Tenerife?

If you want a true jet ski experience in Tenerife—a full hour on the Atlantic, with pickup convenience and the gear handled for you—this double ride is a strong pick. The small group setup, the safety briefing, and the included drinks and protective eyewear make it feel like a professional operation, not a casual rental.

I’d book it when:

  • You want the maximum time on the water
  • You and your partner are within the weight limits
  • You’re okay with being on one jet ski together
  • You want a guided route that includes a swim stop

I’d skip or rethink it if:

  • You need solo riding on separate jet skis
  • You or your partner don’t meet the suitability rules
  • You’re not comfortable with water and the included swim break

If your timing is flexible, the experience supports a plan-friendly approach with free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance and a reserve-now, pay-later option.
